I want to take copies of the invoices I generate.
These would just form a long list down a sheet. The invoices would have text in the last left hand cell say "xyxy". So to make a copy of the invoice I would like to copy the invoice inc the text zyzy and then move to the sheet where the list is stored, find xyxy on that list and paste the new invoice from that position downwards. This would then add a new xyxy at the bottom as a marker for the next invoice.
I need a script to search for text in a sheet and then make that cell the active one to paste to.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Is there a way to automatically update the content of a word field based on a text I type?
i.e. I have a table with two cells. The left cell contains a QR Code generated by
{ Displaybarcode "Just a Text " QR \s 40 \t }
The rigtht cell contains "Just a text"
Is there a way to update the QR code (actually a word field) based on what I type in the right cell?
So, if I change the text to "I just changed that text!"
I would get this:
I do not mind pressing Ctrl-F9, but I would not want to edit the field itself.
Is that possible?

I would put the area for the text in a mapped Content Control and use a copy of that control in the DisplayBarCode field as the text portion. The field would need to be updated.
Here is another Add-In to produce Mapped Content Controls by MVP Graham Mayor.

I am developing an OpenOffice Writer template that can be used to fill in reports for a child-care centre.
There are some standard outcomes, comprising long sentences, and I want the user to be able to select the appropriate sentence from a combo box. I have entered the sentences into a table in Openoffice Base database, which is then connected to a series of combo boxes in a Writer template. However, when the user choose an option that contains a very long sentence, only the text up to the length of the combo box is visible.
What I want to do is have the selected value of the combo-box wrap over several lines when selected so that all the (very long) text appears in the selected box when the user chooses a long sentence from the combo.
I have been looking through the properties of the combo box control, but have yet to identify one that will allow the selected value in the combo box to word-wrap (so that I could make the combo-box several lines in height such that the entire sentence would fit into the box).
Any pointers on how I could do this would be much appreciated.
thanks,
David.
Thanks Jim K, that was helpful. In the end, what I wound up doing was creating a textbox which I named "selectedOutcomeATextBox" immediately below my combo box which was named "OutcomeCombo".
I then attached the following macro code to the textModified event associated with the "selectedOutcomeATextBox":
Sub UpdateOutcomeA
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Form As Object
Dim Ctl As Object
Dim newCtl as Object
Doc = ThisComponent
Form = Doc.DrawPage.Forms.GetByIndex(0)
Ctl = Form.getByName("OutcomeCombo")
newCtl = Form.getByName("selectedOutcomeATextBox")
newCtl.Text = Ctl.Text
End Sub
I also set the "Printable" property of the "OutcomeCombo" to "No", so that when the document prints, the combo box itself does not appear on the printed page, but the "selectedOutcomeATextBox" textbox which has had its value set by the macro when I choose a value from the combo box does appear with the desired text. I also set the "TextType" property of the selectedOutcomeATextBox" text box to "Multi-Line", so that extra long text will wrap to the next line, thereby showing the very long strings that are stored there.
Thanks heaps Jim K.
cheers,

Apparently combo boxes do not have the MultiLine attribute. The question was asked a few years ago here but was not solved.
One alternative that requires some macro programming is to use a single multi-line text field and then make a scroll bar button that changes the choice. Instead of a scroll bar, two buttons could be used to change the choice (Previous / Next), or even a list box control. Using a list box control in this way would have the advantage that they could see all the choices at once, like a combo box.
Another approach is to break up each sentence and display the parts across several lines of a list box. Then when one line is clicked, all the lines of a sentence are selected at once, using an event listener for the list box. This could be shown in addition to an ordinary editable multi-line text box, in case none of the answers in the list are wanted.
One more idea: Radio buttons can have multiple lines, so dynamically show radio buttons, one for each sentence. A dialog window could be displayed to hold the radio buttons. The result of the dialog would be used to fill the multi-line text field.
Or you could just live with the truncated sentences. Maybe it would help to make the control a little wider, or abbreviate the sentences.
I am trying to add new or second line in tab-strip.
Once the space is exhausted in first line ,I want another line to display tabs.
Can I get a sample code?
Note : Tabs are generated dynamically on click of button.
The sap.m.IconTabBar only supports a single row of IconTabBarFilters and uses horizontal scroll when there is not room to display them all in one line.
In order to achieve your goal you need to define several IconTabBars and determine the number of IconTabBarFilters you want in each row. Once a IconTabBar is "full", add the next IconTabFilter to the next row's IconTabBar (and make it visible).
Question in subj.
I have window, and I have ListBox on it. I wanna find particular list item and make it selected.
I've read this
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/17534-selecting-an-item-in-a-listbox/
but it doesn't work - my list dont change selection on key pressing.
So, I need to find item by text in some column and then select it (by clicking or smth else).
I have a Crystal Report which is viewed via a CrystalReportViewer control on an .aspx page (using VS2008).
The report has two data-driven FieldObjects (which can contain a variable number of chars) which I would like to display on the same line beside each other.
Problem is when the text in the first FieldObject is too long it overlaps the text in the second FieldObject.
I have tried setting the 'CanGrow=True' and 'MaxNumberOfLines=1' on the first FieldObject to 'push' the second FieldObject further to the right, but this didn't work.
How do I get the second FieldObject to always display immediately after the first FieldObject regardless of the length of the text in the first?
Cheers in advance of any knowledge you can drop.
you can add a text object to the report. And while editing the text of the text object, drag the field you want to show from the object explorer into the text box. Then hit space, then drag the second field in to the same text box. Your two fields will always be one space a part. You could, of course, add more spaces or any other text you want.
Or you can create a function which returns field1 + " " + field2 and add the function to the report.
