Possible bug in inDesign CS5 with find and change

• Possible bug: save the table with double and extended precision to the worksheet

  If one concatenates an array of double-precision and an array of precision extended with the 'build' vi table, then recorded using 'Write in a spreadsheet file' vi any digits to the right of the decimal are reset to zero in the saved file. Regardless of the entry of signifier of format (for example %.10f) to the vi 'Write in a spreadsheet file'.

  I'm on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and labview 9.0

  This is a possible bug that is easily circumvented by the conversion of a type before you incorporate arrar in a worksheet. Nevertheless, it's a bug and it cost me some time.

  Hi JL,.

  No, this is not a bug - it's a feature

  Well, if you'd look closer you would recognize the 'save to spreadsheet' as polymorphic VI. As this polymorphic VI does not support the EXTENSION numbers internally (it only supports DBL, I64, and String) LabVIEW selects the instance with more precision: I64 (I64 a 64 bits of precision, DBL that 53...). Your options are:

  -the value of the instance to use as the DBL (by right click and "Select type... »)

  -make a copy of this VI, save it under a different name and make support number of POST (not rework the polymorphic VI like you would break compatibility with other facilities of LV or future revisions)

• Urgent need help with find and change / GREP

  I'm working on a manual that contains more than a thousand paintings. I'm not quite familiar with GREP and need help to determine the right to coding/jokers to change the character style to a group of words/numbers on a global basis.

  For example, in Chapter 7, a paragraph style is applied to this line of text:

  TABLE 7.1: T4, T3, FREE T4 AND FREE T4ED

  I need to change "table 7.1:" for a character style and so of suite/so on up to "Table 7,150:"-while leaving the other numbers on the same line unchanged also.»» Is it possible to do without having to manually each table style number?

  No need for GREP. If "TABLE 7.1:" is text, you can create a nested character style that extends through the colon, in the paragraph style. "

  If "TABLE 7.1:" is created by a numbered list of automatic type paragraph style, you can specify a character style named for the part of automatic numbering in the drop-down menu Style of character, in the Style of numbering of the chips section and numbering of the dialog box Options of paragraph style. If the character style does not exist, you can stay in the operation of paragraph options by choosing 'New Style of character' in the menu. After you create the new style, you're back in the process of definition of the paragraph.

• Linked excel tables in InDesign CS5 update problems and keep the formatting: need help

  I've been using excel to place several tables in my InDesign CS5 document which will require the update on a regular basis. The tables are already formatted in excel, so I will place in InDesign with formatting and you will usually have to reduce proportionally the tables as soon as they are in InDesign CS5. When I'll update the links, it is important the content of the tables as part of current text with larger text and I am unable to "Insert the picture content" or "shrink content proportionally." Nobody knows how to solve this problem or know of another way to link excel with formatting tables and update without having to reformat the table (i.e. to resize the image and text) every time that happens an update? Thank you!!

  Can't do it, sorry. Tables only.

• InDesign CS5 | Create layers and automatically distribute. [script]

  Hi guys,.

  is there some script for Indesign CS5, which create layers automatically a nd distribute text, images and objects their?

  Ex: I have a layer with a lot of pictures and I want to distribute to layers another automatically.

  Best regards

  JNSaraiva

  Hi JNSaraiva

  At a glance of your first bid looked like you have three specific objects (image, text, otherObjects) and you want to move all the images a specific layer images and text on another layer objects and rest to another specific layer. If what you wanted then my first code complete final will fill it but in your subsequent post it sounds like you want to move all the objects in your choice on different layers, if that's what you want then try my code below:

  var mySels = app.selection.length;
  if (mySels == 0) {
      alert("Select the object and Run the script");
       exit(0)
    }
  else{
  while(mySels--){
            var objLayer=app.activeDocument.layers.add();
            app.selection[mySels].itemLayer = objLayer;
       }
  }

• InDesign CS5: Why hidden codes change from blue to red?

  InDesign CS5: I have a document with page 20 indesign file that is part of a book about InDesign document/chapter 23. Hidden codes are light blue through chapters 1 and 2. Then, in the middle of Chapter 3, at the bottom of page 10, hidden codes became Red until the end of this chapter. The next chapter contains the solid blue hidden codes. What is the Red mean and what I need to do to correct this. Thank you.

  Looks like this block of text that contains hidden characters is on another layer.

• Text find and change the problem CS3 and CS4 scripts

  I use the script below to find text and turn them into others.

  There is one thing the script can't do it for me.

  Example:

  
  (g) management

  (1) that no law that is adopted in the Cayman Islands, a tax to collect profits, income, gains or satisfaction does apply to the company or its activities; and

  (2) that the above-mentioned tax or any tax in the form of rights of succession or inheritance tax is payable in respect of shares, debentures or other obligations of the company.

  Example: (end)

  I had a lot of subjects or points in the passage. And I want to change the space between '(g)' and 'Management' in a tab character. So I revised the plain text file 1texte.

  PS: 1text.txt is filled with what to change.

  text {findWhat: "^ p(^?)" ' "} {changeTo: "^ p(^?)"} ^ t "} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} search all space-dash-space and replace it with an en dash."

  The result is:

  (^?) ^ tManagement

  (^?) ^ tthat any law that is passed in the Cayman Islands, imposing a tax on profits, income, not capital gains or satisfaction applies to the company or its activities. and

  (^?) ^ tthat the above-mentioned tax or any tax in the form of rights of succession or inheritance tax is payable in respect of shares, debentures or other obligations of the company.

  PS: ^ t is a tab character.

  result (END)

  This is not what I want.

  It should be"(g) ^ tManagement'.

  PS: ^ t is a tab character.

  Please someboady help me out revised the script below to change the text in what I want. Thank you very much.

  Here's the script.

  FindChangeByList.jsx
  An InDesign CS4 JavaScript
  /*
  @@BUILDINFO @ "FindChangeByList.jsx" 2.0.0.0 January 10, 2008
  */
  Loads a series of strings delimited by tab characters from a text file, and then executes a series
  Find/replace operations based on the lines read from the file.
  //
  The data file is delimited by tabs, returns to cart that separates records.
  //
  The format of each record in the file is:
  findType < tab > findProperties < tab > changeProperties < tab > findChangeOptions < tab > description
  //
  Where:
  < tab > is a tab character
  findType is 'text', 'grep' or 'glyph' (this sets the find/replace operation type to use).
  findProperties is a recording of properties (text) search preferences.
  changeProperties is a recording of properties (text) of the change preferences.
  findChangeOptions is a recording of properties (text) of the options find/replace.
  Description is a description of the search/replace operation
  //
  Very simple example:
  text {findWhat: "-"} {changeTo: "^ _"} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} find all double hyphens and replace by an em dash.
  //
  More complex example:
  text {findWhat: ' ^ 9 ^ 9.} {' ^ 9 ^ 9 '} {appliedCharacterStyle: 'price'} {include notes: true, include master pages: true include hidden layers: true, any word: false} find $ 10.00 to $ 99.99 and apply the character style 'price '.
  //
  All metacharacters search InDesign are allowed in the properties 'findWhat' and 'changeTo"findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences.
  //
  If you enter the backslashes in the object findGrepPreferences findWhat property, they must be "escaped".
  as shown in the example below:
  //
  {"findWhat: '"\\s+ "}

  I'm not a writer, but I'll take a stab and try to make a difference here.

  The main problem, in my opinion, is that you use a plain text instead of GREP search. Text gross has no provision to replace the text found by itself, for example, rather than using the codes you entered a literal string. Your search text of ' ^ p(^?) ' means find any character in brackets that occurs after a paragraph break. I would use in GREP ^ \s+ (\(.+?\)) which translates to find an opening parenthesis at the beginning of a paragraph (so he'll find if it happens to be the first character in th in a story) followed by a number any characters up to the first parenthesis (in the case where you have double the figures or double entries letter) followed by ANY white space (in the case where it is not an ordinary space or multiple spaces). Replace $1\t which means the text found in the first set of parentheses in query search followed by a tab.

  Parentheses are special in GREP, they surround groups of terms you want to re-use the text found, so looking for the actual characters you need to 'escape' with the-prefix, so \(.+\) will find a paren open followed by all the characters up to the end last paren in the paragraph. Addition of the? After the + makes research stop at the first closing paren met, although there are several sets in the paragraph.

• Anybody have the same bug bit of lag with Wacom and photoshop cc from Yosemite installed two days ago?

  HY everybody,

  I just installed Yosemite on my mac two days ago.

  27' iMac, with 32 GB of ram... so I actually not lag issue.

  I use a Wacom Intuos 4. Last driver installed yesterday.

  But since the upgrade to Yosemite, there's a bit of lag but horrible bug when I touch the wacom with my stylus.

  Please help me!

  Alex

  After the installation of Yosemite and faced with the delay of two weeks, I spent a week on all the forums trying to find a solution, then I spoke with several representatives of the customer service of adobe and wacom.  According to a representative of adobe, wacom drivers are not completely comparable with yosemite, but they hope to be soon. I finally uninstalled and resettled yosemite mavericks, November 2014 wacom cintiq driver and photoshop CC 2014 and now my machine is like new.
