• Is it possible to access a Word from its index by GREP?

  I'm writing a script that highlights a specific word in a document: for example 'and '.

  So there is a lot of s 'and' in my text, I'm looking for a way to access to the "and" I want to stress (word number 12) by its index using GREP.

  Any indeas?

  Thank you

  Hi Meindel

  That's what you're looking for

  var doc = app.documents[0], myAnds;
  app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
  app.changeGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
  app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = 0;
  app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = 1;
  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "and";
  myAnds = doc.findText ();
  myAnds[11].fillColor = "C=15 M=100 Y=100 K=0"; // To make the 12th and red
  

  I used the text instead of Greps but you can use the grep findWhat "-<[Aa]nd\\>" which is more accurate. ".

• Text or Grep in the Find.change script by list?

  Want to use grep formatting in this request (instead of text), but the script shows the error:

  text {findWhat: ') '} {"changeTo: ')" "} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false}

  Why here coexist two ways of writing?

  How do you decide?

  @Laurent: Hey Hey. After this long history, I always pay attention to the original question...

  Mariana:

  ... because it can combine several characters in a search, for example find a space before the point, period, semi-colon, etc.. Or a space after (or before)...

  Yes, it is possible with GREP. Try this for the first:

  grep {"findWhat:" ([.,: ;])])} "} {changeTo: '$1'} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} remove the space before the period and al.

  (Don't forget that the script needs TABS between the sections, as in the original file).

  This is a little difficult. In fact, the period is a special character in GREp (it means "any character"), so normally you would need to escape:

  (space).

  to find a space, followed by a period. However, the square brackets [...] define a group of GOLD, and eliminates the magical properties of the time. Apparently, there is no use for a wildcard character in a group! (It would be something like: "the following characters are allowed: a comma, colon, not at all, a semicolon...") »)

  There is a more advanced method to remove the spaces like these. You want to find spaces that are followed by one of these characters and the replacement by anything. It would be

  {"findWhat:" (? = [.,: ;])])} "} {" changeTo: ' '}

  You can try this in the interface to see that it works.

  ---

  The second can be done by using the Unicode value for ellipsis ('\x{2026}' - find a different rating than in ordinary text), or with the special escape code "~ e". Well yes - there is a different escape character. The backslash is used by GREP itself, but GREP does not own InDesign special characters - include page breaks, single chip and double quotes, dash-to-here, cadratins and a few others. They can also be inserted in the menu on the right side of the search field. These characters need a tilde, so InDesign can 'translate' for something that GREP can be used internally, and GREP never sees. As the tilde is nothing special for Javascript, you can safely insert one in the script data file...

  To remove a space before or after an ellipse, you can use this:

  grep {findWhat: '? '} ~ e ? "} {changeTo: ' ~ e '}

  ... but in this case, it may still be easier to stick to the normal text mode (where you would use "^ e" for the suspension points, incidentally).

• I copied and pasted a spike in emails, he decided to leave Chinese writing and it now appears in each email.

  I took a photo for a small ad for the customer, I pasted the email that it transposed in Chinese Web site looking for writing! whenever I have create an email that appears at the top all the time can not get rid of it!

  Hi I had this problem too.
  I try to copy something else, and then you restart computer I should be working.

• When writing an F9 email no longer displays the address book unless in safe mode, how do I solve this problem?

  I tried to search the frequently asked questions and did a search first. It did not work, what I found F9 turns the initial contacts on and outside, but does not solve the problem with the component being wrong.

  Until a very recent update (last week or two at the most) when I type writing, the contacts pane in the window of writing have shown my address book. Now it shows some kind of research, that I can't use because I have to see all the entries to see which ones I want to send an email. In some cases, I have multiple entries for a person based on their having several email for different types of e-mail addresses. Try to remember those who want DOESN'T WORK for me. I can't get this behavior in safe mode. As an alternative, I need Thunderbird to save my setting of safe mode, so I don't have to reconfigure the SafeMode whenever I have to restart windows or restart Thunderbird. I currently come in default safe mode

  I tried to remove and then install an older version of Thunderbird and the pane bad contact on the left was there. I can't find any setting to change the part of that wrong at the old I need. I would rather not try to reinstall win7 pro from scratch for this problem, assuming that would fix it.

  I am running windows7 64 bit pro

  It was very strange. Now things work properly and I don't know why. I want to thank everyone for their help. The image shows the first letter of the contact you want on screen messages write with the address list. Before it wasn't to show a list of addresses, just search options to search for address books. I think I'm more confused then I was before. I'll try a reboot and see if the message of Scripture remains fixed.

  Once again, thank you for all the help and hope that the correction is corrected.

• at the opening of a 'writing' window there is no toolbar! and no submit button! Please, help me to restore!

  I followed the instructions in a displayed answer go to the menu bar on the screen of Mozilla and all checked. There's no composition bar in the e-mail toolbar.
  Still, there is no menu bar on a "new message / write ' window.
  I appreciate your help... This is so frustrating!

  You need carry out the instructions in the window where you are missing toolbars. In your case, the window of writing.
  Open a window of writing.
  Press the alt key if the menu bar is missing too.
  The Menu bar select View-toolbar and enable toolbars missing.

• Clicked on writing in Thunderbird, got a whole new list of contacts with many items I did not here. Why?

  Most of the new entries seems to be people that I have either written or received mail from. My address book is last name first. Many new entries have the same names but first name first. Something is obviously by analyzing my mail file all and added to my contacts list. If I want to add a contact, I'll do it. "Don't want to do to me unless I ask."

  This a pane to the left of the space where you type a new message?

  If so, it is called the Contacts Sidebar and TB38, default to 'All address books' and it'll show you a composite, consisting of all your address book address book which one you don't know you have, known as collected addresses.

  If you click on "All address books" in the sidebar of Contacts, you will get a drop down menu where you can choose one of your address books. Personal address book could be the one suitable for you.

  I do not use the sidebar. I just start typing addresses or names and an auto fill feature offers connections to the address book.

  When this topic comes up, I often ask about the thought process behind the work of a list of names. I guess that there are use cases where you send a large number of people, including all the names you couldn't possibly memorize, a list could act as a reminder. (But there are better ways to deal with such a situation; for example dedicated address books, mailing lists, direct mail utility.)

  Another use case may be the kind of person who blindly copy fun (supposedly!) messages to all their knowledge.

  In my case, I am writing to the people and people have names, and their names are what I know them by. The number of people that I write for in reference to a particular topic would be low and the recipients would be tailored to the situation. So it seems natural to send me a message by naming the intended recipients. And it is more efficient to have the computer find my address books to do it myself.

  To manage what is happening in the collected addresses, look

  Tools | Options of| Composition | Addressing

• pane 'send' and 'address' disappeared frpm writing (composing) window, and I can't figure out how to fix.

  The part of the address appeared by activating / deactivating the F9 key.
  The 'Send' button is still missing.

  Do not know why you started a new thread for the same problem but...

  When you open the window of writing you the Composition toolbar where the Send button?
  He has send-spelling-Attatch-security etc on it.

  If this isn't the case, have you tried my instructions in the other thread to activate the missing toolbars?

  If you have some of the bar Composition tools but lack just the Send button, click with the right button on the Composition toolbar and select Customize. Find the button send in the window that opens and he reglisser in place.

• "' I'm a toolbar with ' writing ', address book, etc.

  When Thunderbird opens, it is in the Inbox, no way to wite meaassges or get address book.

  Looks like you've lost your toolbars.
  If the menu bar is missing also by pressing alt or F10 should appear. FYI: This works in most applications to reveal the hidden toolbars.
  The menu bar select View-Toolbars and rekindle the missing toolbars.
  Writing and address book are on the e-mail toolbar.

• Good writing software?

  I've been using LibreOffice, but due to accessibility issues, I'm looking for the best writing on the Mac tools. Does anyone know what would work?

  1. I have rsi severe and sensory and coordination issues.

  2. I can not disable the flashing cursors in LibreOffice. Flashing what whatsoever, it is difficult for me to see, can be painful and can be confusing, so it makes it hard to check where I was before. LibreOffice relies on a system setting and OS X uses different settings; I can't disable some flashing cursors in OS X but not LibreOffice flashing cursors.

  3. I have to be able to avoid the animation, use Scroll + and other accessibility and break of planning tools and avoid both hands combinations of keys or keys and clicks.

  4. I need to check my notes, check my sources, create tables and enter data, so concentrated writing the software won't work. I need avoid the automatic formatting, AutoCorrect, etc..

  5. I need to open my .odt files and save in .odt or another format open to no - to the request-for-obscelence. I'd like one that uses open default formats. Ideally also .epub or .html.

  6. I would like to be able to use Dragon for Mac, if and when construction pain subsides.

  Besides only LibreOffice and OpenOffice, I tried Appleworks, Pages, and Textedit, more graphic for the drawing.

  1. I used to use Appleworks, but Apple has continuously supported.

  2. I also used Pages, but Apple stopped supporting that too; the current version cannot open the old files of the original version.

  3. I tried Textedit, but I can't find "save under" so I don't know if I can create a new version or a new document to turn an old, and I get an error message if I try to change a test document.

  For TextEdit, try to hold down the option/Alt for choosing Save as.

  A few suggestions below.

• Organization address books no longer appear on the left when writing

  A long time user of Thunderbird times. The accounts of form 4 books address no longer appear when writing email.
  It is mainly for this feature I use Thunderbird.
  How to get back to the old iteration that has worked?

  Open a window of writing.
  Press F9 to toggle the sidebar for contact.
  You can also do this in the view menu in the window of writing.

• In the window of writing V.31.3, there is no option "insert" on the toolbar and ctrl-l does not. I can't find any way to insert a link.

  According to me, he's working the composition in plain text. Hold the SHIFT key when you click Write, reply to or forward. Raw text does not support inserts so that they are not available in the toolbar or menu when the text is in use.

  It is supposed to open appropriate, responses and transfers in text mode compatible with the original message. The default for writing new messages is defined in the account settings. However, it is also possible to define default values of individual Contacts and also to specific areas, so in my humble OPINION, it's too easy for a contradiction or incompatibility to ask how the behavior can be unpredictable.

  And I think it's buggy. I sometimes write to a newsgroup where HTML is frowned upon, so TB is put in plain text but almost always chooses HTML. Go figure.

  You can simply paste the links in the text. There is no need of the Insert | Link antics.

• How change the font size screen writing only

  Thunderbird (dial) screen writing allows the choice of fonts for HTML e-mail messages, but no fonts sizes, traditional 'points '. Is there a button up/down on the screen and a configuration option for the small/medium/large, etc.

  By sending me mail and reading in other popular e-mail client, I see that 'medium' is the 12-point type, which is what I want. But when I select medium as my default, the text on the screen of the writing is too small, nowhere close to 12 points by the eyeball. If I make the font bigger on the write screen so I can read it, then it is received like 14 or 18pt.

  There must be a way to choose what you see on the screen of writing, regardless of what is actually encoded as HTML and sent. Of course, I can do Ctrl/Shift / +, and makes the text at the larger screen (leave image intact, thanks!), but it has tiny back the next time I open the program. Is it possible to make this text magnification "stick"?

  'Medium' is reflected by how the client of the recipient is configured to display as usual. Better to leave Thunderbird in this setting.

  For your own needs, however, you can set how Thunderbird displays the content for you and this applies to incoming and outgoing messages.

  Under Tools | Options of, you will find a tab labeled display and under another label formatting. This is where you define how Thunderbird displays the content. Note that it conforms to HTML standards and this sets in pixels, not points.

  Next to the tab view is a named another Composition where you can set the default font to use in your outgoing messages.

  Note that changes are not always immediately apparent. You will need to maybe deselect and re - select a message to see changes in the settings, or at worst, close and re - open Thunderbird.

  I haven't checked recently, but for a long time, Thunderbird would set some font attributes (style, size, weight, etc.), but seems to forget to actually specify the font to use. This resulted in the client of the recipient using the default font. If you are concerned about the definition of a particular font, I'd recommend the add-on of the stationery. Allows you to create templates incorporating the definitions of complete style.

  I would also add that as police in the e-mail settings are optional and can be replaced by the recipient or his mail client, don't worry too much about if it's perfect. Non-standard fonts, you can have and use do not appear on another computer where they or effective equivalents, are not installed. Stick to what is called "web-safe" fonts and colors if you do not want surprises.

  My Thunderbird page is screwed - there is no address book that appears in the toolbar, and I do not see a tab 'write' - just 'message' how can I restore back to normal?

  Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.

  This is the Contact Sidebar in the entry window. Press F9 when in the write window to enable or disable.
  Or you can also access it from the view menu in the window of writing.
  Sidebar view-presentation-Contact

  Another clue. If something is missing in any look of window on the View Menu. This is how you configure the view you want.
