How to convert * all * tables of text in a document?

Version: Indesign CS 5.5

I have a massive document that was given to me after be imported into Word, and the person who has imported, it did not convert tables to text (or they tried and it did not work, be it, I have a huge amount of tables that must be not filed).

I am responsible for the document formatting, and the formatting requirements are to convert all tables in the text document. I was able to batch-process other formatted in the document with the help of find + replace, but I can't seem to find a way to search for all instances of a table in the document and convert all the table set in shape to the text. I can find every table in the search/replace tool using < 0016 >, but I have no idea how, and then delete the table set shaped with the change function.

I have no text special requirements (standard; tabs for columns and new paragraphs for the lines) and all tables should be converted, regardless of their formatting or content, so it's fairly simple formatting.

There must be SOME way tot automate this process, it seems incredibly Loïc having to select each table individually and go up to the menu to select "convert table to text... '. ». Any idea is appreciated.

Click on the text cursor in your text running, and then run this Javascript. WARNING: fully typed memory!

App.Selection [0].parentStory.tables.everyItem () .convertToText ();

  • How to convert a table 1 d of cluster of 5 items in a table of numbers 2D? (a graph historical data)

    Hello

    in my vi, I have an array with 5 slots displaying measurement data.

    The user must be able to record all the data in the history of the card at any time. (for example the user looks at the picture and something happens, then it based on a 'save' - button)

    I know that I can read the data in the history with a property node. This isn't the problem. The problem is, how to deal with the data? The type of history data is a table 1 d of cluster of 5 elements.

    I convert these data somehow in a 2 D-table of numbers or strings, so that I can easily save it to a text file.

  • How to delete all TABLEs in the schema SYS that are created from 09:15?

    Unfortunately a script created a lot of tables in the diagram (= SYS) and bad Tablespace (= SYSTEM).

    How can I delete all TABLES that are created inTablespace = SYSTEM and SCHEMA = SYS (in a DDL command)
    respectively for the past 3 hours from 09:15 to 25 Sep 2011?

    Alternative: How can I move these tables in another schema (for example ATEST) and Tablespace (USERS)?
    Is this possible with Oracle XE or Oracle Enterprise?

    Peter

    You can use ALTER TABLE... MOVE. It offers a TABLESPACE clause, which allows you to choose a different tablespace as target. Refer to the documentation for your version of the database.

  • How to convert all anchors in Illustrator for the corners?

    How can I convert all anchors in Illustrator for the corners? 'Convert anchor points selected on the corner' does not work or I couldn't use it properly.

    I use the direct Selection tool in the half of the points of the object and click 'CSAPC' - and it does nothing.

    is one knows how to do this?

    To run the script, see here:

  • How to convert a string of text input field data I already.

    I have a string search API of Twitter for keywords, for example:

    var url:String = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Robin%20&lang=en&rpp=100";
    

    I also have a dynamically created textfield input:

    var inputField:TextField = new TextField();
    
    
    addChild(inputField);
    
    
    inputField.border = true;
    inputField.width = 200;
    inputField.height = 150;
    inputField.x = 75;
    inputField.y = 50;
    inputField.type = "input";
    inputField.multiline = true;
    inputField.restrict = "A-Za-z0-9";
    stage.focus = inputField;
    
    

    But how to take data from the text input field and append it to the string, be sure the input data must go to the part of the string keyword. In this example, the keyword is "Robin".

    It should be implemented as shown below...

    URL = url.replace (regexp, '? ") q = "" + yourTextField.text + "&"); "

    There are other ways to do this methods involving chains, where you can first split the string on the '? q =", and then divide the second element of this result on the '&', then replace the first element of this second split with your text textfield and then sew the pieces back together as a single string.

  • ADF: How to convert column ADF output text to link to the item in the table?

    Hello world

    I use Jdev 11 G.

    I dragged VO as adf read only the table that is to have 10 columns.
    now my requirement is to convert the first column "empid" to link the item.
    How can I convert this column as a link?

    and one more thing by clicking on this link, we should sail to OAF page from empid as parameter.
    How can I achieve this?

    Any answer will be really useful.

    Thank you.

    In my opinion, using af: goLink is the right option when you call a page of the outsider.
    you do not download workspace sample & test it provided link?
    You can select yr af:commandLink in the Structure window & do a right click to select "create a binding of the action method.
    In the open dialog box you can choose the "connection method" & then name the bean with the same method name generated by the IDE.

  • How to display all of the text in ListField

    I have a liftfield displaying messages long, but for some reason they get any shorter. For example, if the message is 'This is my example message.', the Simulator displays: "this is...". ».

    Is there a way to make sure the entire message is displayed?

    Thanks in advance!

    Frankly, you don't need as many pointers. Take a look at the Graphics class and start thinking about what you want to draw and what positions. There are several methods of drawText in there - read descriptions and choose the ones you need. A little advice - adjust your font size before drawing if you see that the text does not.

    Here is a (very incomplete) list the things that you may need:

    Graphics.setFont / Graphics.getFont

    Graphics.drawText

    Graphics.setColor / Graphics.getColor

    Police .getHeight

    Font.getAdvance

    Font.DERIVE

    Read the documentation and try to see how it all works together.

    Also search the ListField forum and/or drawListRow - you're bound to find a lot of good pointers.

  • CP9 why/how to convert all my conditional actions standard actions?

    I have a CP8 project I've been working for a few months now and finally upgraded to CP9. I realized immediately that one of my intelligent form buttons using rollover States had not the rollover State postponed from 8 to 9, so I saved a copy of the file in CP9 for I can have both versions open by-side if I could go back in the file CP8 to see how configure the States of turning so I could rebuild them at 9. This really isn't a big deal, but I find that each of my Advanced actions have been converted to a standard action.

    This is a preview of action in CP8:

    Clipboard03.jpg

    And it is so, it now appears in the CP9

    Clipboard05.jpg

    Everything else in the file, except buttons of smart shape with bearing States, is intact, as I can tell. What I am confused by, that's why/how each conditional action has been converted into a standard action. What I can see, everything inside the IF and ELSE statements have been purged and all under the Actions across all decisions have been combined together, as well as any action that refers to a variable being disconnected from the variable.

    Fortunately, I did a lot of work on the file so I can re - open and re-save the file CP8 again, but it's just a weird super bug.

    This is a bug known, already mentioned in this forum, just after the liberation. A patch is promised as soon as POSSIBLE to fix.

    Solution: do a little editing of the conditional action, so that you can use the update action button. When the backup actions are conditional. BTW, they are not converted to an advanced action level but to a shared standard action.
