Insert the list of names of link on the current page to the current text insertion point?

That would be "cursor" (apparently taken from Latin, 'Messenger', not a person who cursed a lot).

This javascript does the trick. He first tries to determine the page, which is a bit awkward because the text blocks can be nested, on a master page, or on the pasteboard. If the script "does nothing, then closes" (quite a common mistake) or error, this would be a place likely to fail.

If he has found its own page, it's a simple case of iterating over all the graphics on this page, which is fortunately a property 'Page '.

theStoriesPage = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];
while (1)
{
 theStoriesPage = theStoriesPage.parent;
 if (theStoriesPage.constructor.name == "Page")
  break;
 if (theStoriesPage.constructor.name == "Character")
  theStoriesPage = theStoriesPage.parentTextFrames[0];
 if (theStoriesPage.constructor.name == "Spread" || theStoriesPage.constructor.name == "MasterSpread")
  exit(0);
}
for (all=0; all

When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses
 
			 
I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
Thank you.
Arthur
			 
This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.
I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.
Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.
If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.
If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.
It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.
Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.
You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?
If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How can I copy the list of names of files in the finder and set the Clipboard filenames separated by commas?
 
			 
Hi guys, I was wonder if anyone can give me a hand with a script.
I need to be able to paste a list of file names of the files as follows:
0001.jpg 0002.jpg 0003.jpg 0004.jpg
At the moment, if I select the files in the Finder, copy to the Clipboard and paste them in TextEdit, they are like this:
0001.jpg
0002.jpg
0003.jpg
0004.jpg
I found a similar but slightly different script and I don't know how to change it. Here it is:
Define extension_list to {"jpg", "" JPG","jpeg","JPEG"}
the value cbNames (Clipboard text) paragraphs
Set csvNames to {}
the tid value delimiters to point to the text of the AppleScript
the text value of the AppleScript point delimiters ".»
-now, make a list of names without extensions
Repeat with the names in cbNames
If the point 2 of the text names is extension_list then
copy of text 1 of names at the end of csvNames
end if
end repeat
Journal csvNames
-now the filenames as comma CONCATENATE string separated
the text value of the point delimiters AppleScript «»
csvNames value cross-as text
the text value of the point AppleScript delimiters tid
			 
There is an easier way. Open a TextEdit document and paste the list in. Place the cursor at the end of the first item and drag it to the start of the second.

Press on + command + c to copy and then command + f to bring up find it. Press command + v (do not click in the first search field). Check the 'Replace' box, click in the field replace, and then type a comma and a space.

Click 'All' and then 'done '.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Clean the list of names
 
			 
Hello
When I want to assign a name to a face, pictures offer a list of names, some of them are obsolete (they are missing the names of my contacts, and no face is affected).
How can I clean the list?
Thank you
			 
How can I clean the list?
You can't clean up the list.  The list of the names of the faces is stored in the photo library.
You will get an empty face names list, if start you with a photo library empty, but it would be a bit drastic.

InDesign - prevent breaks between the first and last names in a very long list of names?
 
			 
Is there a quick way to do?  Having the list 800 names in a text box and want to prevent the first & last names being split at the end of the line.  Other than choosing each name and apply the rule "no break" (a lot of time).  Any other suggestions?

List of names
 
			 
As a scripter no (I can change the existing scripts) I need help with this question: I'm looking for a javascript that allows me to add one or more titles (e.g., Defence Minister, Finance Minister) to a particular style of Pará (Minister + 30mm) at the cursor insertion point.
What I need: a list of titles (I thought about 15 titles but t can be more or less) to select from (one or more) and this list should be placed at the cursor insertion point but in the order it was selected. It may be at this title 3 comes before Heading1 (issue of importance).
We run on win7 with CC. Note: the script must be run twice, once on the Dutch side and the side once French.

Hello
I suggest using "palette" type of window and listBox instead of dropDownList (with scroll bar).
In a code below doubleClick is to insert text and "remove the last" button deletes the last line in the text box.
The "Finish" button closes a palette window
#target indesign
#targetengine mDialog
var
  mTitles = ["TitleOne","TitleTwo","Title3","Title4","Title5","Title6","Title7","Title8", "Title9"],
  w = new Window ("palette","Title multiselector", undefined);

w.alignChildren = "left";
w.add("staticText", undefined, "Doubleclick to choose and add. \r'Delete' button removes last added", {align:"left",multiline: true,closeButton: false});

var
  body = w.add("group"),
  mList = body.add("listbox",undefined,mTitles,{scrollbar: true}),
  mButt = body.add("group");
  mButt.orientation = "column";
  mButt.alignment = "bottom";
  mButt.add("button", undefined, "Delete last");
  mButt.add("button", undefined, "Finish");

  mList.preferredSize = [200,150];

  mList.onDoubleClick = function() {
     app.selection[0].contents = mList.selection.text + "\r";
     }
  mButt.children[1].onClick = function() {
     w.close();
     }
  mButt.children[0].onClick = function() {
     app.selection[0].parentStory.lines[-1].remove();
     }
  if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "InsertionPoint") w.show();
  else {
     alert("Make a cursor active inside desired text box");  exit();
     }

dropDownList could be used however choose element is easier in the listBox, in my opinion.

List of names by sticking in a Multipage PDF control
 
			 
Hello
I am a graphic designer in a University and create page 40 InDesign documents that are basically a certificate by page I can easily paste a list of names in. I'm trying to shift the responsibility to add the name of the student and printing of certificates to certain members of staff who do not InDesign, but use instead Acrobat.
How can I set up a 40-page PDF model that has a field name of student on each page, but with different domain names so that each name is unique who gets entry. Also, is it possible to paste a list of names circulating in the 40 pages, as it does in InDesign or a method to fill the 40 pages with names without entering them one at a time?
For the first part to get the 40 PDF document page, I'm better export a document from InDesign 40 pages in PDF format and then manually adjusting all fields if necessary or can I create 40 pages in Acrobat based on a model of a page. How can I create 40 pages on the same model of a page and create unique domain names in Acrobat?
Thank you
Mike
			 
OK, here's how you can set up the document.
Page 1: A page with a single button and the unique multi-line text field. I'll assume a name text field of the "names".
Page 2. A page that is the certificate with a text field for the name. This page should be turned into a model and then hide the model. I'll take a 'certificate' model name and a name of text field 'name '.
For the button on page 1, the mouse upward script could be:
Script mouse upwards to button field
A list of the names of text field
var sNames = getField("names").valueAsString;
Split string to transport returns in an array of names of
aNames var = sNames.split ("\r");
Get a reference to the model
model var = getTemplate ("certificate");
Object to store model xObject
oXO var;
Loop in the table...
for (var i = 0; i)< anames.length;="" i="" +="1)">
.. .and reproduce the model name is not empty
If (aNames [i]) {}
Set the value of the name field on the hidden template
getField("name").value = aNames [i];
If {(oXO)
Template.Spawn ({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false, oXObject: oXO});
} else {}
oXO = template.spawn ({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
}
}
}
It's really the script intended to demonstrate the basic principles, minimum. It could be improved in a number of ways, but it should help you get started. Post again if you get stuck. If you don't know how to do a page of a model and hide it, let us know which version of Acrobat you are using - the specific steps are different depending on the version.

How to display a list of names by category
 
			 
I am creating a Setup for a web site of Airshow where volunteers can apply online and specify their favorite activity. The airport manager will then assign volunteers to an activity and we would like a list of people devoted to each activity, per day - as aerospace will run for 3 days. There are about 10 activities.
I know I could create about 30 recordsets (10 for each day) and then you view the list of names for each activity in a table, but it seems to me that there should be a more elegant way. I think that I could create 3 sets of records, one for each day and then view a list sorted by name of volunteer activity. Basically, I would like to have something that looks like this for each day:
Activity 1
-Name 1
-Name 2
-appoint the 3
Activity 2
-name 4
-quote 5
Activity 3
-name 6
etc.
I use DW CS4 with PHP/MySQL.
Thanks a lot for any assistance before you begin creating recordsets from 30.
			 
<>
initialize a variable to store a history of activities
$previous = ' ';

{? >}

              <>
If ($row_rsVolunteersFriday ['assignedactivity']! = $previous)
{echo "'." "} $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["assignedactivity"]. »
";
echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["firstname"]. » ";
echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["lastname"]. »
";
keep the current name in the variable $previous
$previous = $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["assignedactivity"];
}
on the other
{echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["firstname"]. » ";
echo $row_rsVolunteersFriday ["lastname"]. »
";

Is there a way to generate a list of names of files in an album?
 
			 
I want to generate a list of the contents in an album (photos in the album are spread over various issues). I need the full path names, such as:
C:\ThisFolder\Thatpic.jpg
C:\ThatFolder\Thispic.jpg
etc.
Is there a way to do it or should I go through the tedious process of manually check the location of the file for each photo in the album?
			 
function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}
Is the "file_albums.csv" file... contain data that lookes like it (give a full path to the file name):
Yes.
The file "file.csv" includes a column of Album name for each file?
He did a 'Albums' column, giving the list of albums that each file is current.  And it has a 'Positions of the Album' column, giving to the corresponding locations of the file to each of these albums.
I have attached sample output for a 4-photo catalog with two albums.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How to get the name of the instance of button to display in the dynamic text box
 
			 
first of all, thank God for you people. Laughing out loud.

Here is my scenario, I am the designer of consumate and learning coding by leaps and bounds, today its been a lot of stumbling blocks however.

I have a site I designed that contains buttons that navigate the user at various points on the timeline using image tags. When they arrive at the appropriate image tag, they are presented with a movieclip containing two layers. The bottom layer is a card, and the top layer is a collection of buttons printer having a component tooltip on them showing you the information on detailed mouse printer on and takes you to the Remote UI printer on release. each button has a name of unique queue for the printer appropriate under its name of the instance (e.g. itm100_btn). Here's the jist... I want to be able to place a dynamic text box near the printer and using action script button it display printer queue name automatically simply based on the button, targeting, or even place the dynamic txt area inside the printer button mc. See, on some pages, there are like 24 printers... I'm AFRAID to have to put all these names in manually because there are total 150 printers! OUCH...
Oh it is AS2.0 with Flash cs4

In short... God bless you people... for the love of God someone help me? Laughing out loud.

Thank you so much peoples!

"I make things look purdy, but do not know why the sky is blue".
			 
to create a movieclip button:
create a (insert/new symbol/movieclip) movieclip and attach a stop() to its first image and etiquette 'up '.  create any graphic you want for the up state button movieclip.  create a 'more' and, if necessary, a "low" setting
When you place this button movieclip on stage give an instance name (for example, printer1) and use:
{Printer1.onRollOver = Function ()}
this.gotoAndStop ("over");
}
{Printer1.onRollOut = Printer1.onDragOut = Function ()}
this.gotoAndStop ("up");
}
{Printer1.onPress = Function ()}
this.gotoAndStop ("down");
}
and add your onRelease to do all that.
If you also wanted to add a textfield that displays the instance name of the button when the button is postponed, place a textfield on the framework of the "over" and give it a name instance (say tf) and associated to the MovieClip "over" frame that uses:
TF. Text = This._name;
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Just updated to Sierra and updated Pages at the same time. Now when I try to select a line of text I find myself with an insertion point where I stopped by selecting
 
			 
Today, I updated for Sierra and updated to the latest version of the Pages. Now I find that I am more able to select a line of text. When I try to do, I find myself with an insertion point where I stopped by selecting, but nothing is selected. This is a bug in the new version of pages or get my wrong settings?
			 
You use a Wacom tablet by chance?
Solution: Press the shift key, just before stop selection. And Yes, that sounds like trouble in the Sierra.
