Is there a way to select lines or separate columns in the tables?

This seems to be something very simple, but does not seem to Indesign (I currently use CS4) to facilitate the selection of rows or columns that are not side by side.

Usually, something like this is done with a modifier key, for example now control and selecting each desired line/column/cell is selected.

Even if there is a script or command or something which selects every second row/column, that would be enough.

Most of these things are too specific to be included as a feature (in fact, I would include alternating fills row/column to this as well), but are easily scriptable.

This fast javascript seems to do what you want:

firstRowToChange = 1;
table = app.selection[0];
if (table.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
 table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Cell)
 table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Column)
 table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Row)
 table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Table)
{
 for (a=firstRowToChange; a

  • Is there a way to select an area of some of the elements of a csv file and read in LabVIEW?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to select only a certain "box" of the elements of a .csv file in LabVIEW? I have LabVIEW 2011 and my main goal is to take two tables and graphs against each other. I can import the .csv perfectly and separate each line and each column to be his own, but I have a 8 X 8 but want graphic in the middle of 4 X 5 or something like that. Is it possible to extract a table without starting at the beginning and end in the end? Thank you in advance.

    Hi Szklanam,

    as a CSV file is a TXT file with a different suffix, you can read a number of lines in this file. For example, you can limit the number of rows in your table of resultung. To limit the number of columns, you must always use an ArraySubset, so maybe it is much easier to read the complete CSV file and select interesting places with ArraySubset...

  • How to select lines if a column has the same first and last characters?

    Hello

    I have a scenario that one of the columns in the table of the student is having names student, (Ex) John, Mary, Donald, Ana, Maria. In this case how can we write a query to retrieve lines for the values if the first and the last character of the student of identical names? Production is expected to be Donald, Ana.

    Frank answers the question in the subject of your post, but looking at your examples, I think you wanted

    WHERE lower (SUBSTR (student_name, 1, 1)) - 1 character

    low = (SUBSTR (student_name,-1)) - last character

    Is there a way to select all text objects containing the specified character?

    For example,.

    My work consists of points and numbers.

    Points are separated into blocks of text, so are numbers.

    I want to select all points, so I group.

    Or numbers and group together them.

  • Is there a way to select the slide objects (images, buttons, etc.) in a list?

    Is there a way to select the slide objects (images, buttons, etc.) in a list so that it is easier to choose a specific item when you edit a slide Captivate? The same way as 3D drawing programs have lists of objects in the scene? I have several articles on top of the other, and it becomes a pain to select the correct element.

    The scenario presents items in a list. And clicking on the list allows you to select them. You can also hide, show, lock, and unlock it.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Is there a way to force to render all clips in the work area?

    Is there a way to force to render all clips in the work area? All clips: not only those with horizontal red line indicating that they need rendering! I ask this because videos made preview very well unrolled, but UN-rendered ones are not! My source of the layer film (project and) imply Full HD (1920 * 1080i 25 fps).

    If a Clip has not made, it will not be rendered.

    Basically, what the rendering is to convert the Clips, that don't require not rendered, DV - AVI (DD on a PC projects). This will produce AVI in the media Cache files, make files, and for reading, pre will rely on those. If you look in the folder of files of rendering, you'll see a bunch of files named in the abstract, but these files are now linked in the PREL (project file) and will be used by the program for reading.

    If one were to remove those go files and open this project in the first instance, they would receive a message, 'where's the file 04u434ip0ow. AVI? "[Note: that is just one example of the rendered file name abstract and is not the real name, you'd see.]. Could not ignore those missing now render files, and where they were used, it would be red lines on the clamps.

    As Steve mentions, rendering files are used only for smoother playback. As I use DV - AVI SD projects files on my PC, I have no need of rendering for a reading that is more gentle, until I have changes to the Clips, as superimposition of PiP, effects, titles, etc... I could never restore the timeline, even with these additions, but sometimes, I make a small segment several times, especially with animation effects, that I adjust the settings.

    If it does not receive more smooth playback, then make all the files to be rendered usually reading will greatly improve.

    Good luck and I hope it makes sense.

  • Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

    Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

    Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

  • I already bought the movie HD, 'V for Vendetta', before it came with "iTunes Extras" but my purchased copy does not come with the Extras. Is there a way to fix this without having to buy the movie again?

    I already bought the movie HD, 'V for Vendetta', before it came with "iTunes Extras" but my purchased copy does not come with the Extras. Is there a way to fix this without having to buy the movie again?

    I was told that movies in the iTunes Store can be changed to include "iTunes Extras" if originally it did not come with extras. But there is a catch you get just the extras if you buy just the issue for the first time. If you have already purchased it, your version may not have the extras. This means that if you want the extras, buy the movie again.

    If you now get the Extras will depend on what the movie studio did for example if they have updated the version you have purchased, or replaced by a new version (which will be treated as a separate purchase): buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support
