How to select all the text, all layers including locked or not visible, using VBScript?

I'm looking for the more elegant syntax through a document and select all the text frames.

You cannot select objects in... locked or hidden layers, so you will need to unlock/show layer and do what you need to do with the text, while the layer is visible/unlocked.

to get all the loop text through the text in the object of the document, you will get all the text elements. If you loop through text in a layer object, you won't get the text located within groups.

  • Rendering problem - all the text in my Flex application is not visible, but only for a single user

    Hi all

    I have a very strange problem... we had a trouble report from a user who said that she could not see the text in a Flex application, we are working on.  It works for everyone but this one user - and still unknown, it works for me when I open as the user, on the same hardware that is using this user.

    The only difference is the remote desktop client that is used.  In my test case, I connect to the Terminal Services Server in Windows 2003 server from my workstation, and it works.  It connects on the same Services Terminal Server in Windows 2003 workstation server, using the same credentials, and it does not work.  If I don't see it with my own eyes, I'm not sure I would have believed it.

  • How to select all the text in the document?

    I need to select all the text in a long export to RTF document. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas of how I can do?

    Thank you

    Ian

    Cannot be done. You will need to attach all the text boxes in a long history, or to use the 'ExportAllStories.jsx' script that comes with your installation default InDesign.

    There are other alternatives (each using scripts), and the best way may depend on what are your intentions with the exported file - for example, if you want to read back into their original text after the mounting frames, well, there are ways to do it.

  • How to select all of the people who are not in any team?

    I have a nice SQL expression that gives me accordingly all the "AGENTS" (people) working in a TEAM (a team)

    Select one. "" AGENT_ID. "
    a."NAME" | ' ' || a.' first NAME' 'Name',

    Now, how to select all the agents who do NOT work in any 'TEAM' (team)?

    I tried but could not succeed!

    Thank you for your help.

    Christian

    Dave solutions use an outer join ((+) in the joints), which should bring back all the records of the agent, even if they do not exist in the equipe_agents table.

    Another approach would be to use a statement NOT EXISTS or NOT IN, for example

    SELECT   *
    FROM     agents a
    WHERE    NOT EXISTS (  SELECT   1
                           FROM     equipe_agents ea
                           WHERE    ea.agent_id = a.agent_id
                         )

  • How to print only the text selected on a Web page and not the whole page?

    After you have selected a segment of a web page for printing, I go to the icon for printing and that clears the selection, leaving only the whole page as the selection to print.

    "The feature to print just selected text in a Web page doesn't seem to be a function of Firefox."

    If you use the toolbar print button, from the preview window before printing 29 Firefox open rather than the "Printing dialog window" as with the previous versions. using the button print in the upper left corner of the preview, takes you to the "print dialog window. "selected text" does not persist through the preview window; no way to print a selection of text using the toolbar print button. (a bug report has been filed on this change - regression.)

    As cor - el mentioned if you start printing via the keyboard, instead of using the button print, you should be able to print a "selection" of the text.

    [title published by mod]

    It's because you copy the title, which creates a clone. Change and it changes the other.

    As I show in my book, Amazon, what you really want to do is title duplicate in right-clicked on it in the components panel of project and selecting two copies.

    A duplicate makes a copy of the title, but this copy is independent and any changes that will make her to this single copy.
