5 Questions about Pages 5

Does Pages 5 currently support finding paragraph returns?
Does Pages 5 currently support finding dumb quotes and turning them into smart quotes?
Does Page 5 currently support Comments in the way that Pages 4.3 does?
What happens to Pages 4.3 Comments when Pages 5 opens the file?
Is Pages 5 able to interpret RTF commands properly when opening RTF files?
When Pages 5 was introduced about a year ago, I balked. I’m intensive user of Pages 4.3 and was stunned at the extensive list of rescinded functionality in Pages 5. I’m aware Apple has been adding some of 4.3 functions back in. But is it going to be enough?

1. Yes, in a clumsy round about way
2. You'd have to search on space quote, quote space and do the substitution
3. No. They are all individual pop-ups and you can only see them one at a time. And can't print them.
4. I assume it converts them to the new format.
5. Pages 5 will not open .rtf files, you need to open them in TextEdit or similar and copy paste the text across.
No. If anything the number of missing features we have discovered has grown and is currently over 110 missing.
Also the bugs have grown and there is a good likelihood at some stage of not being able to open your files nor accessing any of the content.
If you are an experienced Pages '09 user then Pages 5 will be a severe disappointment and handicap. The only people who seem to like it are newbies and users who never knew how to use Pages in the first place. We've had some even declaring features which are in Pages '09 and better implemented, are the reason they "upgraded" to Pages 5. Dangerous to themselves and everyone around them.
As long as you make sure not to irrevocably convert your existing files to the new format, there is no harm in installing Pages 5.2.2 and trying it for yourself.
iWork '09 will simply be moved to an iWork folder inside the Applications folder.

  • Question about page margins

    Hello all. I am trying to get started with my first document that will later be part of a book. My question is what to do about page margins. I imported my text, and then after that I tried to change my page margins, to make them larger. But when I did that, it created purple lines at the new margins, but the text is still filling out the old margins, going over the new margins.
    Not sure what to do here.

    Before changing the page margins, go to Layout > Layout Adjustment and select enable and the applicable options. Then make margin changes.

  • Question about Page Builder behavior - how to get a "please wait message" ?

    Hi all together,
    I got a question about Portal Framework / Page Buider handling iView Integration.
    We are working with a lot of App Integrator iViews and often the pages includes with app integrator are loading longer than the rest of the portal. So there is the idea to put in a "please wait while loading message" for the enduser.
    I analysed the html code, the page builder is generating and foud out 3 diffrent approaches how the page buider is rendering the IFRAME with the integrated application configured with an app integrator iView.
    My question is how can I influence this behavior to put a "please wait while loading message"?
    Different types of iView integration in the client I have seen:
    a) direct loading of the content in the IFRAME (<iframe id="" ... scr="/mysource">)
    b) Filling the iframe with 'about:blank' and loading the content later by filling a form with JS
         ( <iframe id="" .... scr="about:blank">and after the iframe  <form id="" action="mysource" ...>
    c) Filling the iframe with a html file from the portal layout and loading the content later by filling a form with JS (similar to b)
         ( <iframe id=""" ....scr="/irj/portalapps/com.sap.test.mylayout/html/blank.html>
    I checked that variant b) is getting generated when loading a page with different components on the side (not only the app integrator iview) and variant c) is generated when just one app integrator iView is positioned (no portal page).
    Goal: To get the "please wait picture" I want to know how to get variant c) in cases of different elements on one page
    So I would be able to put this picture on the HTML-Page in the Portal layout (blank.html)
    Hope, someone with a deep portal / page builder know-how can help me out!
    Another way: Does anybody knows another way how to put a "please wait message" while app integrator application is not loaded yet?
    Thanks in Advance and kind regards,
    Jens

    Hi Jens,
    there are several reasons why you don't get the loading animation:
    Web Dynpro ABAP: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1432358 -> missing configuration
    Wrong height size for iView: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1358494 -> alter configuration of the iFrame height (loading animation gets displayed, but is hidden)
    FPN, BSP, BEx: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290995 -> AI isn't showing the animation because of performance considerations. I guess that is your case. Depending on your portal version this is a simple service configuration or involves some customization.

  • Question about Page WIdth

    Hi. I know this is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
    I am using iWeb 08 and have built a site using the "Main Event" theme. I would like to make the pages bigger than the default 700 px width; however, if I increase the width in Inspector, it doesn't look right because the Page Background-Image Fill-Tile leaves a gap on the right hand side. Basically the Browser Background image shows a long strip from the top of the page to the bottom about 20 px long (my guess).
    In addition, the page doesn't look right because the Navigation Bar at the top of the page uses an image as a background (which also serves to make the text readable. When I make the page wider in Inspector, I can then drag the Navigation Bar box wider but can't seem to get a hold of the image behind it to make it bigger.
    I hope I explained my problem.
    Thanks.

  • A question about page properties

    I am new to dreamweaver going through tutorial.
    In the book it tells me to modify page properties. The pop up window on my computer shows up differently than in the book. see attachment of screen shot from my computer
    In the book it is different.
    1. Category - Appearance has controls for typography, that is not on mine
    2  Category also shows access to Links and Headings between Appearance and Title/Encoding
    I am working in dreamweaver 8 but have also opened up dreamweaver CS3 and it comes up the same way.
    I use a Macbook Pro OS X.4.11.
    Help !

    I'm wondering if somehow toggling the HTML/CSS preferences might get your dialog box to match the one you see in the book. See this Help page for more info, make the switch, and then open the dialog box again to see if that works.

  • DW CS5 question about page layout viewed in different browsers

    Hello.
    I am still very new to Dreamweaver CS5 and I need help with the appearance of a new website that I have been creating. We are mac based and I'm currently using Mac OS10. The layout I have created should appear centered on the page and it contains a solid background image. When I view it on our macs using Safari, everything looks exactly as it should, but when viewing it on a PC using the Internet Explorer 8, the text, spry menu bar and image of a doctor on the right hand side (that is set to change every time the page is refreshed), all shift to the right. Any advise on fixing this issue would be extremely helpful. The index page and the pages under the obstetrics menu are the only ones that I have completed so far. Here is a link to the web page: http://www.advertools.net/COBGYN/index.html
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi
    Yes, I am referring to the fact you are using absolute positioning for the divs, and that this is causing your problems.
    If you change the top, left/right values you are using to position them to % values this will alleviate the problem, (not completely though). Instead of say -
    top: 500px;
    left: 450px
    use
    top 70%;
    left: 40%;
    The values are only examples and you will have to adjust these to suite your needs.

  • Question about page sizes

    I received a PDF file that should have letter sized pages 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The page size in the lower left hand corner says that the pages are 35.42 inches by 45.69 inches or approximately 4 times the normal size. The file is readable at 31%, but I cannot print it out. Only the center portion of the page prints. Is there a way to reduce the page back down to 8.5 by 11? The sender and I are both using adobe accrobat 8.

    George,
    Thank you so much for your prompt response. I found this out by chance late last night.

  • Question about page Orientation

    Hey guys,
    I have a couple of questions,
    I Know there are issues between Safari and acrobat's browswer plugins, without having to resort to unsinstalling adobe.
    Also If I do continue to use adobe reader, is there way to reverse or mirror image the pdf and save that preset to that printer so it happens everytime.
    I am trying to print out tickets using pdf's online, and have to rotate the image twice so that it appears upside down, before the ticket will match the paper, and print correctly.
    We have staff, that don`t necessarily work all the time, and keeping this process to a single "just hit print" type of scenario (simpliest way possible), is what were trying to do.
    So I would like to adjust, the pdf reader to automaticly rotate the pdf the minute the pdf is loaded online.
    Any help is greatly apreciated,
    Thanks,
    soundguy

    I apalogize for that, it wasen`t that I was trying to ask the same question because I didn`t get a respnse, it was more that I was trying to better explain myself, and clairfy the question. The earlier post I admit was a bit confusing, and I have since narrowed the problem a bit.
    sorry,

  • About to go to College have a few questions about pages....

    How do i turn auto complete or w/e its called. When i use word it automatically fixes the spelling of a word i slightly spelled wrong, is there anyway to do that on pages. i already found the auto capitalization and all that stuff but still no solution to that. also, is there really no need to buy anti virus for my macbook. i know that mac os is supposed to be impenetrable but i wanna make sure this lasts. thanks

    There is not an auto-complete in Pages as there is in Word. You have found the Auto-correction preferences which is not the same thing.
    There are some third-party programs you can use such as Typinator, TypeIt4Me & TextExpander. Do a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker. I use Typinator because I got it with a MacUpdate Promo bundle. These have the advantage of working in any program with text input.

    Yes, especially if you save the document in Word format.
    You can also save it in PDF and a simple text file (but the layout could be modified if you open it in Office).

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

  • Question about clear page and reset pagination

    Hi,
    I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
    I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
    The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Question about printing by page count

    Hi
    I'm new to this and I have a question about printing our invoices by page count.
    We generate our invoice using Crystal 2008 we have invoices that can range from a single page to as many as 6 pages. I would like Crystal to preview/print the reports in order of how many pages are in the report. Example: print all single page invoices first then all invoices that are 2 pages and so on. Is this possible?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Ido,
    Thanks for your input. This is more or less what Carl was suggesting yesterday and I gave it a lot of thinking. The problem here is that I cannot go with "good enough resolution" - I need perfect resolution.
    The reason for this apparently silly requirement (why would one sort a bunch of invoices by number of pages instead of Customer Number, as long as they end up in an envelope anyway?) is the proposed purchase of a folding/stuffing machine which could do very fast what now takes one person 4 days to achieve.
    One type of machine comes with three settings - fold/stuff 1, 2 or 3-page statements. You need to have three stacks with all the statements that have 1, 2 and 3 pages. The ones with more pages will have to be folded manually, but there are only about two dozen clients that give us that much business. You feed the machine one stack at a time and set it to process the respective number of pages. Any statement that falls accidentally in the other stack will either cause the whole rest of the stack to be mixed up, which is very bad, or cause one customer to receive his invoice and someone else's, which is just embarrassing. I cannot afford any of these scenarios.
    Given that the statement contains variable-length (and depth) messages that vary by month and by profit center, and it could also contain one or more groups of details, each with its own header, it is very risky to try to come up with magic numbers attempting to estimate the number of pages based on the number of detail lines. Someone will still have to eyeball very carefully the initial stack of statements in the areas where the number of pages increases by one and make sure that ordering by number of detail lines did not mix, for example, one report with two pages among two reports with one page. Of course, this increased scrutiny will be necessary only around the areas where the page number transitions from 1->2, 2->3 and 3->4, which is much better than trying to order by number of pages all 1500 statements, but still depends on one's manual intervention and focus and, as a result, makes me pretty uncomfortable.
    I have taken a look at the "Group Sort Expert". If you select the "All" option (all groups) and you had some kind of summary value then you could sort the report by that value. The idea was to create a hidden Average field over the TotalPageCount runtime variable (which will always equal the TotalPageCount for that customer, since it's the same for all the pages in that group) and use that summary field in the "Group Sort Expert", which would have solved the problem elegantly. Unfortunately, there is no way to create a summary field over a runtime variable. I even created a formula that just returns the TotalPageCount, but that formula did not show up in the list of fields available for summarization (while other formulas did).
    It looks like the reporting engine does not allow this type of "late-sorting". I wonder if it is possible at all, because in effect this would require the engine to execute an additional pass: first it should somehow generate the whole report grouped by Customer Number so it knows how many pages are in each group, then it should sort by the number of pages and only after that it could render the report. I'm not sure the engine can do this additional pass.
    I would be very curious to hear about the other (more complex) ideas you mentioned. For example, I have seen (in Crystal 2008) a checkbox allowing "sorting by a formula". I don't know how to write a formula used in sorting, but the basic question in the paragraph above still stands: does the engine even support such a feature?
    Thanks again.

    My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday.  I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank.  When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message.  The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything. 
    I'm not happy with HP.  Any suggestions?
