Changing the margins of a large documents in IDCS3.

Immediate problem: Changing margins on a series of 9 page documents.
Facts: Im using InDesign CS3 version 5.04 for Mac and cannot figure out how to change the margins on any of my documents unless I change the margins on each document one page at a time. The master pages do not seem to control the margins on any of these documents. Or if the margins are controlled by a master page, I cant figure out which master page is controlling the margins and how to change them.
Background: I used an earlier version of InDesign on a PC to create the document, a 180 page book. The book consists of 20 chapters, about 9 pages each.
Ultimate Goal: I ultimately want to change the page size from 8.5 x 11 inches to 8 by 10 inches, and the margins from ??? x ???? ( or the text block from 4.5 inches x 8.5 inches to 5.1 inches x 7.5 inches.
Question: How can I change my margins?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Bob. I enabled the layout adjustment, and attempted to change the margins on my master page. However when I applied the master page with the changed margin to my document pages, some margins on some pages changed and some did not. Any ideas as to why some would change and some wouldn't? Is there any way to tell which of my 3 master page spreads is the one that controls the margins? I'm very confused. Thanks for your help.

How do I change the margin on my pages document in icloud?

Having trouble moving the matgins from a 1.5 inch margin to a 1 inch margin on pages for icloud.com

Thank you for that information, and it shows me the incorrect email address, but it's greyed out and it won't allow me to tap on it to change it. Is that strange?

Is there any way to change the formatting of pre-made documents in pages?

Specifically trying to change the margins in the Business Resumé template. Thanks.

You change the margins in the Documents sidebar.
How ever if it is the CV I am thinking it is in Pages 5.5.1, Apple constructed it using Textboxes for the headings to the left.

How can I change the margins on a fillable PDF

I am looking to change the margins on a fillable PDF that is required by the CRA because page 2 of 10 is blank. If I were to print it and send it off with the blank page it will get sent back as 'not completed properly'
Any ideas on how to get rid of the blank page???

Oh I understand that it is free. I just don't understand why a fillable document that is required by a government agency such as the CRA has a blank page in it and the program they insist you use to fill out the form cannot remove that blank page. That's where my annoyance lies.

Change the margin

At first. My english is not so good. I want to change the margin in an imported Excel spreadsheet in numbers on my Ipad. The margin is to big. How i can find the function to do this.
Mecky

You should be able to select items on the sheet and move them around. Is it that you cannot move them far enough to whichever side you are trying to move them?
Numbers on the iPad doesn't appear to have any settings for margins; at least I've never found them. Pages has them (Document Setup, after clicking the wrench) but not Numbers. I don't know what Numbers on the iPad does regarding margins with an imported Excel document.
There is a separate forum here for the iOS iWorks apps. You might get a better answer there.
EDIT: I created a test xlsx file with huge left and top margins and imported it. The table imported into iOS Numbers with the standard-sized Numbers margins. Maybe I didn't understand your question?

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

How do I change the font size of a document when I PRINT?

How to I change the font size of a document when I print it?

To specifically and fully answer your question, no, you absolutely cannot change the “font size” as a function of print.
First of all, there isn't a single “font size” associated with a PDF file (and we assume you are referring to a PDF file since this is an Acrobat forum).
Secondly, PDF is a final form file format meaning that the content is static in terms of location, size, etc. on the page. To change the point size of any particular text, you really need to go back to the source document and make the changes there.

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

Ask your question.How do I change the template for a pages document

How do I change the template for a pages document?

Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

Changing the CS3 AI default startup document in Mountain Lion??

Everything you read says that to change the default AI (CS3) startup document you use this path:
Users > (User Name) > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > New Document Profiles > *.ai
The problem is, under Mountain Lion that path doesn't exist. When I go to my user name, there is no "Library" folder at all. Under "Shared" there is an AI Library folder, but it has nothing of any value in it.
My AI startup document (that I've been using for ages) is found here:
HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Plug-ins > filename.ai
However, if I navigate there and make changes, then quit Illustrator and re-launch it, nothing happens. I'm using the same old defaults as before.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? I know I need to upgrade to a later version of CS, but the prices have become so outrageous there's no way I can justify it as long as AI and PS are working. You need a mortgage to buy new Adobe products these days.
Tks
Butch

The location of startup files has changed in version CS3.
The lirbary folder is hidden in Mac OS Lion and above, you can access it like this: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/

The CR 2010 for VS engine changes the margins and scales the report

The CR 2010 for VS engine changes the margins and scales the report but only when printing.
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 x64 / Windows 2008 x64
VS: VS 2010 x64
CR designer: CR 2008 SP3.5
CR engine: CR 2010 for VS SP1
We have upgraded the Crystal Reports engine from version 10 to u201CCrystal Reports 2010 for VSu201D and are now having major issues with printing reports to preprinted papers, giro forms etc. because the report margins are changed and the reports are scaled (when report elements are in non-printable area?). Reports with elements in non-printable area are shown correctly in print preview (CR 2010 CrystalReportViewer) but moved to printable area when printed. This behavior was different in CR 10. Changing the PrintLayoutSettings in code is ignored when printing.
Error u2013 The printed reports are scaled:
-     Print in the CR 2008 Designer SP2
-     CR 2010 for VS SP1
OK u2013 The reports are not scaled:
-     Print in the CR 2008 Designer SP3.5
-     Print in the CR 10 Designer
-     CR 10 engine
Test:
1) Crystal Reports Designer 2008 (with SP 3.5)
a) Create a new blank RPT file.
b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
d) Select "Print preview" and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
e) Select u201CPrintu201D and validate that the box is located in 0,0 of the paper. Some of the box borders might be outside of the printable area but that is ok.
2) Visual Studio 2010 and u201CCR 2010 for VSu201D with SP1:
a) Create a new Windows Forms Application project (.NET Framework 4.0). Set project to u201C.NET Framework 4.0u201D and platform target u201Cx86u201D.
b) Add the CrystalReportViewer control to Form1.
c) Add the RPT file to the CrystalReportViewer control
d) Run the application
e) Validate that the box is located in 0,0 in the CrystalReportViewer control.
f) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
h) Click the "Print" button and validate that the box is moved to the printable area which is wrong.
Notice: In the print dialog (CR 2010 for VS) select the "Layout" tab page and see that "Scale u2026" is selected and cannot be changed. This is different from the CR 2008 Designer even though that it is the same report file and printer.

I have done the requested test (and more - see below) and can not reproduce the issue.
Tests done
1) Crystal Reports Designer 2008 (with SP 3.5)
a) Create a new blank RPT file.
b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
d) Select "Print preview" and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
e) Select u201CPrintu201D in the CR designer. Results in the box printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
f) Repeat all of above with a text field report
g) Select u201CPrintu201D in the CR designer. Results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
2) Visual Studio 2010 and u201CCR 2010 for VSu201D with SP1:
a) Create a new Windows Forms Application project (.NET Framework 4.0). Set project to u201C.NET Framework 4.0u201D and platform target u201Cx86u201D.
b) Add the CrystalReportViewer control to Form1.
c) Add the RPT file to the CrystalReportViewer control
d) Run the application
e) Validate that the box is located in 0,0 in the CrystalReportViewer control.
f) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
g) Click the "Print" button
h) Text filed report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
i) Box report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
3) VS2010 IDE
a) Create a new blank RPT file.
b) Set report margins to 0,0,0,0 in Page Setup.
c) Add a box in the upper left corner (x=0, y=0).
d) Preview report in the ID designer and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window.
e) Select u201CPrintu201D in the IDE designer. Results in the box printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
f) Run above report in code
g) Preview report and validate that the box is located in 0,0 in preview window
h) Select the "Print" icon in the CrystalReportViewer
i) Click the "Print" button
j) Text filed report test results in the text printing at 0,0 coordinate of the paper.
k) Repeat all of above with a new report that uses a text field rather than a box.
None of my reports have the option "No Printer" checked.
All of my reports have the option "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" checked
From the above, you can see that all of the printing tests result in consistent printing, be it a report created in CR 2008 or CRVS2010, useing a box or a field. No difference in printing.
Suggestions:
1) I am not sure if you have followed the steps you recommended. E.g.; are you creating a new report or using your existing report? See if following the steps described reproduces the issue (it may be there is something specific to your existing reports)
2) Make sure you have the latest printer driver available for your printer
3) Try a different printer
4) Add a report to the VS2010 IDE and preview the report in the IDE of VS2010
5) Compare the "No Printer" and "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" options
6) Consider creating a phone case so a support technician can troubleshoot the issue with you

How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

I doubt you need hundreths as you would not even be able to measure that and the printer doesn't hold the paper to those tolerances.
fruhulda is right. Pages accepts higher measure but rounds it in the measure field.
If you want absolute accuarcy you need to set your measures to points. Everything else is being recalculated.
