Deleting several comments - "remove highlights and comments" grayed

Using numbers 3.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (13 "retina, end of 2013).

I want to delete all comments on hundreds of cells at a time (between cells with comments are a few without) without affecting the contents of cells - to do this, the command "remove highlights and comments" seems ideal... but he is always greyed out, apparently no matter what I do. The only way I found to delete a comment is to use the button Delete for this purpose within the window of comment... which is closed, leaving no cells selected, so I repeatedly to select the next cell with the mouse, renavigate to the key, press on and... wait.

I looked in the 'Help', searched the web, this database too and found nothing useful. Now, maybe I forget something, maybe because I've been using numbers and its predecessors, as well as Excel under Windows (and Lotus 1-2-3 before DOS), for decades something obvious is looking at me in the face... be it, hope for your help!

Hi the Seagull,

  • highlights and comments not saved [iOS]

  • How can I delete multiple comments at once?

    I merge comments from multiple reviewers into a single pdf, save a few comments or to remove others. Rather than manually delete each comment which is useless, that I want to mark for deletion as I go and then delete them both. Is this possible?

    You can select several comments by holding the CTRL key, either in the

    the document itself or in the comments (where you can also use the list

    Shift + click to select a range).

  • delete all comments on a worksheet

    I have more than 100 comments in my spreadsheet from 2015.  I want to use a copy of this worksheet for 2016 without any comments.  How can I delete all the comments?

    Thank you

    Hi Maggie,

    Advance planning is the key here. The best way to have a comment-free (and data) copy of the document is to save one as a model, before adding data or comments.

    At this point, you will be able to apply this method for the 2017 copies (and beyond) of this document, but for this end of the year, you may be stuck with manual removal.

    In addition to the comment, what is the content of these cells? Is - this content will also be deleted in preparation for next year? Selection of a cell (one click) and pressing Delete will remove the cell contents (text, numbers or other data entered or formula) and the comment. Copy an empty cell, and then paste them into a group of cells should also remove the comments (and content) of these cells, but also replaces the parameters of any format with the copied cell pasted now. With "more than 100 (but probably less than 200) comments, manual removal (click on a cell or group of cells, press DELETE) can be a usable solution."

    If there is a way to detect the presence of comments on a cell using AppleScript, it should also be possible to delete these comments using AppleScript, but it's a question for one of the participation of writers here.

    Not much help, I'm afraid, but you can find something worth the trip here. If so, please test on a COPY of your file.

    Kind regards

  • The text highlighting function is grayed out and inoperable but only with certain PDF files

    Strange this highlighter (and icon comments) works for some but not all documents in PDF format.  I want it for several long documents that were maybe converted to PDF by an association prior to release for me and others.  Can I somehow the yellow highlighter to work?

    If you mean all the tools of comments on the bar after clicking the comments in the right column (for example, bold, italic, Baker, etc.), then the answer is no, too, those who are disabled.  So I guess I'm just out of luck to highlight these documents.  Thanks a lot for the right answer, if not what I was hoping for ;-).

  • How to drag Select several comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    How to drag Select several comments or Annotations in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    To display the list of comments, choose comments > see the list of comments.

    Now, I could test that Acrobat X and XI, and selecting them in the list comments selects them also on the page. I do not have Acrobat 9, and it's been a while since I used it, so I'm not sure it will work the same thing (but am hopeful).

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

    So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

    Is it possible to restore them?

    And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

    If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

    The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.

    Hello.

    In fact, it's a Japanese forum here.

    I'm sorry, English is not good for me...

    According to the reference,.

    DBMS_METADATA

    The description of the parameter called SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES, it is written like this.

    > If TRUE , include clauses attributes segment in the DDL. If FALSE , omit them. Default value is TRUE .

    Before you SELECT it, it's OK if you run the following.

    exec DBMS_METADATA. SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM (DBMS_METADATA. False SESSION_TRANSFORM, 'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES',);

    I hope you find it informative.

  • I had Cogeco security Anti Virus etc installed on the computer, called and asked them to remove it, and when they did, he deleted Outlook Express too.

    I had Cogeco security Anti Virus etc installed on the computer and called and asked them to remove it and when they did... He also took off my e-mail Outlook Express6 program.  After talking to them... they said was probably altered the outlook express and take off the anti virus program him took off the corrupt outlook express as well.  Can someone tell me where to find a download for outlook express6 for windows xp professional?

    Thank you

    original title: download of outlook express6

    They screwed something. OE is a part of IE6 and both are part of the XP operating system. You can't take off OE is there a standalone download.

    Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Add/Remove Windows components. OE is checked and restart.

    If OE is verified:

    Right click on the desktop | New | Shortcut. Navigate to "c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe". Click next | Click Finish.  It will be a new shortcut on the desktop.

    I would like to know where you are now.

  • PC Windows Vista stops unexpectedly. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all.

    My Windows Vista PC completely stops unexpectedly and without warning. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all. When I turn it back on, sometimes I have a blue screen that tells me that the PC has experienced an unexpected shutdown and communicate with my local technician. However when turning on, I am always able to return to my office. My anti-virus support told me that it is not related to a virus. Help!

    It is likely some equipment or device driver issue (although we can not entrierly a problem of software).  I need a lot more information on this blue screen - EXACTLY what it says Word for Word with all the codes.  Read the messages and follow the procedures established by the MVP of the spirit in the following thread on the Blue Screen of Death.  They should help you solve your problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/8cd8362e-7d06-46FB-afd7-84d54b6a8ea7  I know it's long but a blue screen problems problem may take some time because there are so many different causes and we must find the right to try to identify the problem and then find a way to fix it.  One of the elements in his post is a method to prevent the system to reboot when a blue screen if you have the time to copy the information.  If the system is not turned off, but the screen does not stay up long, press prtscrn to copy the screen, then when the system boots to open Microsoft Paint, click on the Open box and click Ctrl + V to paste here you have plenty of time to copy the information and post it here so we can look at.  Do not forget to include EVERYTHING - it is unclear what could be of crucial importance.

    I repeat the procedures in the messages of the spirit in the link above - just follow them and answer back here with the results.  Want to make interim reports before the end of the stteps is perfectly OK - in fact, I suggest you do that so I can help guide you and maybe eliminate some of the steps because they will provide no information, that we don't already know (or will not solve the problem because of the information that we already know.

    A question, is your so hot PC anywhere on it that if you hold your hand on it, you will need to detach due to heat?  Overheating is a common cause of this type of problem.  Check that the fan doesn't work and all intake and exhaust ports are clean of dust, lint, or any other obstacle.  If this is a desktop computer, remove the cover and clean the entire interior to remove dust and lint and anything else that doesn't belong.  Make sure you do not loosen or detach the wiring or the accessories cards or RAM chips.  Don't bother if it's a laptop - it's too difficult to get inside to do a proper clean-up - just make sure that the fan is running and that the vents are clear.

    I hope this helps.  I look forward to your reply with your comments about what you did to the spirit and procedures for detailed information on the blue screen error.

    Good luck!
