Clipboard Scripts Lite 1.0
Clipboard Scripts Lite - a group of AppleScripts designed to automate small tasks that users perform frequently more>>
Clipboard Scripts use the clipboard as the basis for the tasks they perform. The clipboard is a part of the Mac OS which holds data when copying and pasting in different applications. When you select text in a document, and choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu, the text is copied to the clipboard. The AppleScripts that make up "Clipboard Scripts" are built to perform various tasks to text data on the clipboard.
Clipboard Scripts are intended to be triggered from the Apple "Script Menu", which is included with Mac OS X. You may need to "activate" the script menu, if you havent done so already. This can be done by double clicking on the "Script Menu.menu" item in the "Applications > AppleScript" folder on your Mac OS X computer. Once you have done this, a script icon should appear in your menu bar at the top of the screen.
Scripts used in the scripts menu may be triggered from within any application.
Youll notice that a fairly wide range of scripts are installed by default. "Clipboard Scripts" help to extend that base set by providing additional useful functionality.
This solution includes the following scripts:
Add Prefix - Prompts for a prefix, and adds that prefix to the beginning of each paragraph on the clipboard. The modified text is then placed back on the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Add Suffix - Prompts for a suffix, and adds that suffix to the end of each paragraph on the clipboard. The modified text is then placed back on the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Lowercase - Converts the text on the clipboard to lowercase format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Uppercase - Converts the text on the clipboard to upper case format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Display Length - Counts the characters or paragraphs of the text on the clipboard, and displays the count to the user.

BSGenerator 1.0
BSGenerator - College application mini-essay generator more>>
I certainly have. It seems like every school wants you to tell them how youve been dreaming about them since kindergarten. I dont think its rare for high-school seniors to write one and pretty much cut-and-paste it for every application.
This application is just a small step up from that. Type in a little information about the school, nothing that takes too much thought, and click "Generate" and out pops a nice paragraph about why you were born to attend [insert college name here].
Roberts Text Cleanup 1.0

Completly freeware for non-commercial use.
Babya E-Type 3.0
Babya E-Type is a word processor more>>
You can export documents to PDF natively, without the need for Adobe Acrobat. Also, Microsoft Word documents can be easily imported, edited and saved back to Word or Word XML formats.
Enhancements:
- Babya E-Type is a universal binary-meaning that it be can be run on both PowerPC & Intel based Macs. Babya E-Type now uses new NSError and NSAlert facilities to put up better error messages on failed file system operations.
- Babya E-Type now has a preference to enable the use of the new Cocoa feature to auto-number printed pages. Although the feature enables sophisticated customization of the headers and footers by the application, Babya E-Type just uses the default format.
- The new "Document Properties" panel enables setting properties such as author, company, comment, etc. The fields in the panel are hooked up to the document via bindings, and are imported by the Spotlight text importer for easy searching. The preferences panel has fields where you can specify default values for properties (for which default values are appropriate).
- Babya E-Type can now save WordML, HTML, and Safari WebArchive documents. In the preferences panel you can specify a number of options for controlling the type of HTML that is generated.
- Babya E-Type has a few menu items to support new text system features such as tables, lists, and link editing panel. Other than the new menu items, these features are pretty much free for Babya E-Type . Be sure to read about new text features in the AppKit release notes.
- The new Insert submenu under the Edit menu enables inserting line break, paragraph break, and page break. Note that the default line break you get by hitting the Return key is actually paragraph break; line break is used to break lines without starting a new paragraph.
- Undo can now be used to undo changes across a save. Note that on save, Babya E-Type now calls the new NSTextView method, breakUndoCoalescing, in order to let the text system know that it shouldnt coalesce across a save.
- Babya E-Type can now process Finder or scripting print requests much better.
- When multiple documents are opened simultaneously, Babya E-Type now makes the first one key, and opens others behind this first document. For large numbers of files, this change reduces the overall time before the application is responsive. In addition, in these cases Babya E-Type now does foreground (that is, uninterruptible) text layout only for the front-most document. This also helps greatly improve the time to make the app responsive when the files are large.
- Babya E-Type now uses -[NSParagraphStyle defaultTabInterval] to manage tab stops in plain text documents, rather than having to fix up tab stops after every change. This change removes a good number of lines, including the routine fixUpTabsInRange: and the need to observe textStorageDidProcessEditing:.
- If users default encoding choice and their defaultCStringEncoding dont work for a plain document, then try Unicode, assuming its in their encodings list.
- When an RTF document becomes RTFD, the user now has the option to save the document with the same name (this happens by saving a .rtfd file and thrashing the .rtf).
- NSSavePanels setAllowsOtherFileTypes: method is now used in the plain text case, to use a ".txt" extension unless the user specifies otherwise.
- Checkbox in the plain text save panel now allows the user the control the ".txt" extension.
- The preferences panel has been redesigned. And although it is a good candidate for using NSUserDefaultsController and bindings, it doesnt yet. It should.
- The Cocoa text system now lets you create multiple, non-contiguous selections when editing text. Option-drag will let you select text in a rectangular area; command-click will let you add new selections to an existing selection. You can then copy the contents of these multiple selected regions as if they were one. In addition, you can select all occurrences of a word in the Find panel by holding down control when clicking "Replace All" (this exposes the "Select All" command). Finally, you can use the Styles panel to find all text which is of a given style.
Enhancements:
- First Mac version
- Native import, editing & export of Microsoft Word documents.
FO Converter 2.2p1
FO Converter is a JavaTM component designed to convert XSL Formatting Objects more>>
In other words, it can be used to convert XML data or XML documents to MS-Word documents.
FO Converter preserves the structure of the original document and most of the presentation information (font attributes, indentation, etc). The RTF output conforms to version 1.6 of the specification and is compatible with MS-Word 2000 and newer versions. The WML output is compatible with MS-Word 2003.
FO Converter, as a software component, is intended for integration in a servlet or desktop JavaTM application, through the use of a high-level API. However, stand-alone applications using the conversion engine are also provided. These include command-line executables and a graphical user interface.
Enhancements:
Enhancements
- Better handling of white space at the beginning/end of a paragraph.
- Fixed issue with characters - and . in id property values. (The RTF loader of MS-Word replaces these characters with _ (underscore) in bookmark names.)
Bug Fixes
- List item labels containing non-textual objects (e.g. images) were not handled properly. (This bug was introduced with version 2.1.)
- The body of a footnote was ignored if the footnote element was a child of another inline-level element.
- Bad shorthand property values (e.g. border="1") would possibly result in a ClassCastException.

InMath 1.8.1
InMath will not make you disappointed because it is considered as the plug-in for real mathematical typesetting within InDesign CS and InCopy CS. more>>
InMath 1.8.1 will not make you disappointed because it is considered as the plug-in for real mathematical typesetting within InDesign CS and InCopy CS.
It depicts mathematical expressions solely by means of their text editor - no external data, expecially no graphic data is involved at all. InMath allows the user to configure any settings and manage them as "InMath Styles", analogous to paragraph styles and character styles.
Hence, InMath can be used instantly because InMath Styles work like these well-known styles. Documents created with InMath can be opened and printed out without InMath being present as well. An InMath evaluation package can be requested from i.t.i.p.'s website www.itip.biz.
Unlike so-called equation editors, InMath depicts mathematical expressions solely using characters. No graphical element, no anchored or linked frame is needed. InMath stores and manages all settings as "styles", just like e.g. character styles.
InMath has spread all over the world. On all five continents, publishing houses, vendors, freelancers, universities publish their mathematical equations with InMath and InDesign/InCopy. InMath has been certified for use within a number of editorial systems like K4, SmartConnection Enterprise, Doris32, TrueEdit and more.
Enhancements:
- It fixes an InDesign crash under special circumstances, if an InMath expression is at the very end of a story;
- It fixes an InDesign crash if parts of an InMath expression is converted to a note;
- Some internal improvements.
- "Load InMath Styles" allows to load styles from an InDesign template (.INDT) as well.
InCatalog 4/5/6.2.6.3
InCatalog is designed to meet all your needs of creating transparent links between your documents and databases. more>>
InCatalog 4/5/6.2.6.3 is designed to meet all your needs of creating transparent links between your documents and databases.
Imagine never having to wonder if your document reflects the latest changes in your database, or whether your database reflects the latest changes made to your document. An easy-to-use linking palette lets you establish links between elements in the InDesign document and fields in the database file. Once a link is established, InCatalog can update the link immediately.
InCatalog lets you update any text or graphics. You can place an InCatalog link on an individual letter, a word, a sentence, a paragraph, or multiple paragraphs, or even whole stories. You can place InCatalog links on graphics and grouped items, allowing you to create or update an entire product module very quickly and easily. You can update parts of the document or the entire document at once, allowing you to change versions, change languages, and even extract data from InDesign documents to build a database.
InCatalog is fully bi-directional. Once links are established changes can be made in either the document or the database. When you update, changes are cross-published in the other direction. Linked elements can be moved between documents and libraries freely without loss of linkage. And links don't affect layout or typography.
InCatalog is even more powerful when combined with InData or Xtags. InCatalog links can be embedded in an InData script statement, or with Xtags codes live links are generated when the document is created, resulting in an automatically constructed InDesign document ready for future updating.
InCatalog connects directly to FileMaker Pro or to any tab delimited text file. InCatalog Pro offers ODBC support, providing connectivity to big iron databases such as Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server, and (under Windows) connectivity to Access databases and Excel files.
