How do I make page borders on Pages?

Can anyone explain to me how to make page borders on the Pages program? I typed it into help, but it only told me how to make borders for paragraphs. In Word it was under "Format" Borders adn there were lots of choices of great borders there - both lines and graphics.
I have a mutli-page document and want a nice looking border that will automatically put itself onto all the pages in the document.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

There is no command to place a border on a page. However, it is quite easy to draw a border. Set your margins and then resize the Pages document window so you can see the entire page. Under the view menu, select 'Show Layout' and 'Show Rulers'. Now insert a rectangle or rounded rectangle shape, resize and move it as you like. Open the inspector and select the Graphics tab. Select the background and line colors, etc. Under the Arrange menu, select 'Send Objects to Background' and you'll probably also want to select 'Lock'. You might also want to capture the page (Format > Advanced > Capture) if you intend to make a multi-page document.
Yes, this is a bit more involved than Word but it isn't that big a deal. I've created a template with about 10 different border styles and I pull it out whenever I need it.

    How do I make the Black in Pages True Black? I make Newspaper ads and they are starting to look anemic.

    Sorry Eric but that is the wrong specification and will produce a muddy brownish grey with possible registration problems particularly in small type as well as being wasteful on ink.

    Open the Color Picker > click on the color slider tab > click on the color mode patch > choose Black & White > Brightness: 0% (black patch) > drag down to recognisable swatch below
    To label it > click on the color sets tab (3rd tab) > click on the gear > New > Rename the set "DrD's > drag down the swatch from the bar above > Label that 100k > click on any stray swatches and rempve by clicking on the - button below
    These swatches are System wide and available to any application that accesses the Color Picker. Unfortunately Apple has not seen fit to make them easily transferrable or saveable and importable.
    Make the 100k swatch part of your Styles in the Styles Drawer, particularly the text to ensure it is used, you can't spot it on screen and there is no feedback anywhere that it is selected.

  • How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

    I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.
    How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?
    Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. How do I make the first page print first and not the last page printing first?

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
    From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

  • How can I make a booklet in pages?

    I am trying to make a booklet in pages, and i am sure this has been asked before. What is the best way to do this without having to download another program to help out?

    Hi Jake,
    I don't know that there is a "best way" to do this in Pages.
    Several variables will have an effect on the procedure:
    What size paper will you print on?
    How many booklet pages will fit onto a single side of that piece of paper?
    How many pages will your booklet have (including front and back covers)?
    For a 4.25" x 8.5" booklet, the Catering Brochure provides a good starting point.
    The default Catering brochure (above) has 2 letter size pages, each in a separate section (as is always the case for a Page Layout document.
    The top section holds the brochure's outside pages (4 and 1), back cover on the left, front cover on the right.
    The bottom section holds the inside pages (2 and 3), inside left on the left, inside right on the right.
    The Pages button in the Toolbar offers a choice of four types of page to add the the document: Additional copies of the cover or inside layout, a Text page or a Blank page.
    Each inserts two brochure/booklet pages. Add two for both sides of a second sheet of paper.
    Note that you're not restricted to using a "Text" page for two pages of nothing but text.
    For an eight page booklet, the pages are laid out as follows:
    8 (bc)  1 (fc)
    2         7
    6         3
    4         5
    Document pages 1 and 2 are printed on opposite faces of a letter sized sheet.
    Document pages 3 and 4 are printed on opposite faces of a second sheet.
    Catering is one of only two 'single fold' brochures on the Brochure page of the Template Chooser in Pages. The main difference between this one and the Landscape Brochure is in the treatment of the gutter between the two pages on each sheet of paper. Catering treats the pages as separate, with an empty gutter running between them. Landscape runs an illustration across the gutter, which is fine for the inside and outside pages of a four page brochure, but not great for booklets made with more than a single sheet of paper.
    The advantage to "another program to help out" is that it frees you to compose the booklet pages in the order they are to appear in the booklet, and as full size pages, then let the 'helper' application impose those pages onto sheets of paper in the order needed to comprise the booklet. Either of the applications noted by Peggy will do that job.
    I haven't used one, but my booklets (concert programs) are all the same number of pages (8) and all have the pages in the same, or a very similar order. Generally, I'll produce a pdf for each pair of pages, print a sample of each and staple them in the correct order for the booklet, then take the files and the sample to the local copy shop and let then do the printing, folding and stapling.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I make subform flow down page without overlaping text?

    Here is my issue. I have a checkbox and if the user clicks on the checkbox a paragraph of text (which is in a subform) appears if they uncheck it, the subform of text dissappears. But my problem is if they uncheck it the subform dissapears which is what I want but there is a big gap on white space on the form so how do I get the other text to push up to the checkbox when it is not checked and move down accordingly when the checkbox is checked and the subform appears in the middle?. I am using FormCalc for the coding. My code for the checkbox in the "click" option is
    if($.rawValue ==1)then
    option1subform.presence ="visible"
    else option1subform.presence="invisible"
    endif

    Hi,
    'invisible' will make the object (subform) transparent, so that while the user cannot see it, it is still taking up space on the form.
    Instead you can use 'hidden', which will not only hide the object, but it wont take up space either, allowing other object to move up and take the space.
    HOWEVER, this will only work, if you have the page set to 'flowed', in the Object > Subform palette AND saved the form as a Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog.
    Here is an example: https://acrobat.com/#d=IFY2ZMg4G9XZmJnJJNSw*w
    Paul Guerette is doing an online talk on dynamic forms on the 30 November, which you should attend. Details here: Tech Talk: Developing Flowable Form Content
    Hope that helps,
    Niall
