I want to insert a picture to my slide, but if there is an empty placeholder, the picture automatically gets inserted into this placeholder.
Is there a way to tell PowerPoint to avoid empty placeholders when inserting a picture?
Best regards

Is there a way to tell PowerPoint to avoid empty placeholders when inserting a picture?
No, but you can work around it by inserting your picture, getting a reference to the inserted shape, duplicating it, then deleting the original inserted shape.
The duplicate will be a picture, not a placeholder containing a picture.
That works most of the time; if your needs are more complex and/or you need to preserve the original placeholder, you'll need to add content to any empty placeholders, then insert your picture, then delete the added "bogus" content.

I have two things I have been using, neither of which are keeping the image/table exactly where I placed it within the text in R markdown when knitted to a pdf.
 will place the image where there is space on the page. That is, if the page has space, the image will print between the desired text. However, if the page does not have the space, the text is placed to fill the page and then the image awkwardly inserts itself in the middle of the paragraph on the next page.
I am having a similar problem with my kable tables. I have tried using latex_options = 'hold_position', but this seems to only keep my tables from grouping together.
Is there a way to have my table stay between the text that I want? So if it needs to start a whole new page, to fit it, it can without trying to fill the space with the text below.
Thank you in advance.
I must to insert an 1:100 image I did in Autocad inside a Word document. I just printed in PDF format and it fits a A4. I could do a print screen, paste it on the Word page and crop the boundaries, but it need some very sketchy adjusts to put it back into the correct scale. Also the lines does not render very well. I believe there is a better and correct way to do.
I guess my first question would be, "Why do you need to insert the file into a word document?"
If you must insert it into a word document, you should use the Insert Object process described here -->PDF into Word Doc.
This would never be my preferred method though. I would rather convert the word document to PDF and then insert my scaled PDF drawing into the exported word doc PDF. This would keep the integrity of your drawing scale intact.
Just my two cents, which won't get you much.
I'm using BIRT as reporting tool. while exporting the datas from the BIRT report as PDF. the long texts got hidden. I have attached the image.
from the above image in the MM Group column the long texts got hidden. is there any way to overcome it?
When autowrapping is activated it should wrap to a new line. I'm not sure why it doesn't do it.
I think it is because there are no spaces in the text. It sees the "100000,100200,OVCR..." as one long word which doesn't get wrapped.
Are you concatenating these values yourself? Just add in a space after every comma.
Otherwise replace comma's with comma-space with code like:
row["MMGroup"].split(",").join(", ");
You can simply modify the data element in the table.
(javascript function replace() will only replace the first occurrence)
I'm using InDesign's data merge to generate playing cards for my game. Is it possible to convert a specific string to an inline image?
"You may roll :red_die: and add the rolled valued to this card's value"
For example the :red_die: in the text above would be automatically converted to an inline icon of a red coloured die.
No you can't this way. But you can place images with datamerge to the condition some fields of your source is set as an image one meaning having a "#" prefix. InDesign will process fields like #image as an image to place. It's up to you to add such a field in your source. However you can't nest it within another datamerge tag so it may not work eventually.
Other solution is using F/C dialog to replace :red_die: with clipboard content (your image) or to use scripting. You may also consider variable content plugin like EasyCatalog.
I want to save my Visio shapes as an .svg file to incorporate into a XML document. However, when i save it ALL the values in my shape are set to 0. I've quadruple checked the shape data and all the values are there and the formulas are returning the correct values. The strange thing is, saving as a .svg works in Visio 2007 and all values are correct, but in Visio 2010 all the values are 0. Why is this? Unfortunately this is my first post, so I can't add screenshots as i don't have 10 rep.
The shape is 4 individual rows grouped together. The data is stored in the "Main" shape, i.e all rows grouped together. The cell in the individual shape then references its value from the main shape.
Example of 1 of the 4 main shape row forumlas:
ShapeData Property - Value = Sheet.1!Prop.Row_2 (references main shape rows, stores value)
Text Field Property - Value = Prop.Row_1 (references its single row, containing value of main shape)
The real kick here is I fixed this problem 4 months ago, but my colleagues had more shapes with the same issue. I cannot remember how i fixed it, and the shape that I fixed is identical in terms of structure and data handling.
Something strange that I also noticed is that when i type ".Value" after the Value field text in either the Text Fields or Shape Data properties, the ".Value" gets automatically omitted after I press enter, but then the field produces the right .svg output. However, this does not work when I make that change in the master shape. So effectively, I'd have to go into every single value field and manually type ".Value" and press enter for it to work. I've also tried turning off all shape protection, no joy.
I'm currently in the process of writing a macro to "refresh" all the value fields by adding ".Value" after them to mimic me manually typing that in.
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I believe this is upgrade issue (2007->2010). Have seen this a few times. To fix try:
Open the diagram in Visio 2003 (or 2007), but not in Visio 2010
Save it as .VDX (Visio XML Drawing) file
Close it
Open the VDX file again in the same Visio
Save it back as normal VSD file. This should fix the broken VSD file.
Delete the VDX file, it is not needed
If this doesn't work then try sharing the source file (dropbox or whatever).
The problem was that the rows Text Fields were Data Object types. When I removed the Text shape protection and inserted a Shape Data field, the correct values were shown on the .svg output file.
