I typically open a Google Translate page and start filling it up with words. GT has a left text box for the foreign word and a right text box for the translation
Von wegen Are you kidding me?

So the left column and the right column as separate text boxes, level word-for-word, foreign word and translation. I tried a bit of Emacs org-mode Google capture -- to no avail. Then it dawned on me that if I can get GT to simply export these two (matched up) text boxes as CSV or a spreadsheet, that would be what I wanted. Any ideas?
You can export the original-translated text pair to Google Sheets (and from there to CSV) by doing the following:
Once translated, click on the star below the translation to save it.
Click the circled star at the top of the page to show your saved translations.
Click on the Export to Google Sheets icon on the top right.
Note that you'll need to be signed in with your Google account to be able to save your translations.
Also, for proper export you should save your words/sentences one at a time so you have one row per translation.

I'm developing a Google Doc add-on with Apps Script. When clicking on a button, I want to highlight (underline or set a different background color) some given words in the entire document.
I know how to format text with Apps Script. I could underline the words with
text.setUnderline(true)
but in that case it would underline the text changing its actual format in the document. I'm looking for a way to highlight (again, underline or set a background color) the words without changing the internal content of the document. In other words, I don't want the highlights to be persisted for the future.
To better understand what I'm asking, the new format of the highlighted words must not be present when printing the document or sharing it with another user who has not installed the add-on.
The idea is to develop a custom spell/grammar checker, and I want to highlight the misspelled or incorrect text as the Google Docs' integrated spellchecker does, without persisting the red underlines in the document.
Notes:
The question is similar to this one and this one, but for Apps Script instead of Microsoft Office API.
I've been suggested to use "suggested edits", referring to this question. I'd like to note this is not what I'm looking for, because the suggested edits would be persisted and they would be visible for anyone opening the document, having my add-on installed or not.
I have taken over an MS Access database that was created by an employee that has moved on. It appears that he has created a form in the database by importing a paper form that is used within our company. What makes me believe that he imported a paper form is the exactness of Access form in relation to the paper form.
I am not sure how to ask query this using Google nor Bing. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this, please? I need to do the same thing with another paper form.
Yes, June7 is right, this is a handy technique.
Scan your paper document as JPG or PNG
Create a blank Access Form, and from the Design ribbon menu, choose "Insert Image" and select your newly created JPG or PNG scan
For the image object, check the properties window and make sure the "Sizing Mode" is set to Clip (and not Stretch or Zoom)
Now re-size the Image on your form so you can see everything correctly.
Now add Text boxes on top of the image, to create fillable text fields, exactly over the same place as the ones in the scanned image behind your text boxes.
You can then make a Table with the same field names, and update the Form to use this Table as it's Data Source on the Data Tab of the Form properties.
Once you have the form working perfectly nicely,
a handy time-staving step is File -> Save Object As -> change the Form dropdown to Report
Now you have created a Report that is printable using the same data table you created earlier (and write macro or VBA code make sure you print only one record at a time if that is the normal behaviour you expect)
This is what I'd like to do. I'd like to be able to display several pics in columns (2,3) on the same webpage to compare them on the right hand side of the menu which would be in the margin on the left. Many thanks for your help.
(I've got a scalar.edu site which uses html)
On a http://scalar.usc.edu/ book site in the page edit mode on the toolbar at top of the text edit area there is an option to "Paste from Word". You can create the table you want in MS Word or Libre Office and copy the entire table to clipboard, then paste it using this button. Worked for me with Libre Office 5 Write.
The table borders are by default not visible in Scalar and one way to make this positioning easier is that while in word editor add a letter of text to each cell in the table. Once copied and pasted into scalar you can select the letter with your mouse and delete it and the cursor will be positioned so you can use the toolbar option on the right to Insert Inline Scalar Media Link. You will need to import content to be able to use it.
By taking user-input, search for the text in the dropdown. If exists, select it. Else, print: "the text is not present in dropdown".
In Sikuli, you have 2 ways to recognize textual data:
By taking a screenshot of the whole text and creating a pattern.
Use built in OCR features to find the text directly.
It is known however that OCR functionality is very limited and not reliable at the moment, hence the preferred solution is to take screenshot of every option you have in your dropdown menu. Then you can just click on the dropdown menu to display the options and then look for your pattern. If the item will be there, you will get a match if not, you know that it doesn't exist.
Assuming you have already saved you text as a pattern in a file, the code will be fairly simple:
find("dropDownMenu.png).click()
if exists("menuItem.png"):
click("menuItem.png") #not very efficient! Left for code simplicity.
else:
print "the text is not present in dropdown"
So I want to get these Top Ranking lists from the website App Annie which recording ranking information from the itunes App Store on to a standard excel file.
Here is the link: http://www.appannie.com/top/
Each app listed on the Top Paid, Top Free, Top Grossing are all linked to the apps details page. I essentially want to get these top 100 lists on a excel file. I do not want to manually type in the day by day rankings.
But I have no idea how this could be done.
Also if anyone knows a source that simply provides an excel file with the daily App Store rankings that would be even better.
Thank You.
I had luck pasting from the page as a refreshable web query.
In Excel 2010: Go to Paste > Refreshable Web Query. In the window that pops up, load your desired website, and then click the arrow in the top left in order to select the whole page. Then click import.
The resulting paste isn't exactly pretty, but once you remove the garbage from the top and the bottom you have a fairly workable result.
