Multiple text blocks in a Photos page

HI everyone,
I have created a photo page with over 100 photos. I would like to be able to display a paragraph of text followed by a block of photos, then another paragraph of text followed by another block of photos, etc. Ultimately I need 7 blocks of text, each followed by about 20 photos. This is easy to do in Aperture, but I can't seem to make it work in iWeb. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Phil

Phil ~ This suggestion is neither elegant or efficient, but anyway...
Create a dummy image of very small file size. Then repeatedly drag that dummy image to the Photos template's photo grid where you want a paragraph of text to appear.
Then cover that block of dummy images with a paragraph of text. In order to obscure the dummy images underneath, you'll need to also set this for the text box:
+Inspector > Graphic tab > Fill > Color Fill+
Alternatively, create a color-filled Shape to cover the dummy images ~ then you'll just need to create a plain (unfilled) text box to place over the Shape.
You'll probably need to make the text box a graphic text box, so that the alignment is not altered when a viewer changes their browser's text size. You can force your text to be a graphic by, for example, in the Inspector, adding an invisible shadow to one of your text's punctuation marks.
Obviously you'll have to repeat the above for each of the seven blocks of text and twenty photos, while making liberal use of iWeb's Arrange menu. But according to this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iWeb/2.0/en/6917.html
...you should be able to do the above and still be within the photo grid's limits:
You can put up to 500 photos on a Photos page, but the photo grid will be paginated and navigation arrows will appear on the page according to your settings. You can have up to 300 photos on a photo grid without pagination occurring if you set “Photos per page” to 300.

  • How do I add multiple text block records from text file?

    The data manager documentation (page 151) for MDM 5.5 SP3 indicates that one or more new text blocks can be added to the Text Blocks object table from files. It is noted that the files must be plain text files.
    I use notepad and create a text file with two lines as follows:
    Test 1
    Test 2
    When I try to add the text blocks following documentation mentioned above, it only adds one record for the Data Group I have chosen and the record contains the entry "Test 1" from the first line in the text file.
    How can I add multiple records to the data group from a file?

    From my testing it appears that you need to have one text file per text block record in Data Manager.
    I wrote VBA macro to so that I could input my text blocks into an Excel spreadsheet and then the macro will take the contents of each cell in a highlighted column and create one text file per cell.
    Then using Data manager, I can select all of the text files at once and it will import them, creating one record per text file.

  • Multiple text blocks in PDF

    The PDF I created from InDesign is making 3 text blocks per line! My client needs to edit his menu. Almost every word is a text block. It's only one text block in the InDesign file. I'm using CS6.

    Agreed that they seem to be overselling the editing. It has never been easy to edit, but also depends on how the PDF was created. It may be that the creation process you are using from InDesign is the issue, not Acrobat itself. However, I would not look to Acrobat for a lot of editing, other than for minor corrections. Just how are you creating the PDF from InDesign? Are you setting up the parts for the user to change as form fields rather than basic text blocks?
    It is typically recommended that all changes be done in the original software and the PDF recreated. Often that might be WORD or LIBREOFFICE for many folks. There are issues that have to be watched even there, but it is really the preferred approach and not to edit the PDF, no matter what the claims that are stated.

  • Can photos & text blocks span two (facing) pages?

    Hi there,
    For some of the pages of the book I'm working on, I want certain photos to span two facing pages.  If I can do this I would also want captions under the photos to span the two pages.  It wouldn't matter if the 'middle' of the photos is right where the two pages meet, but of course I'd have to have a bit of free space in these middle margins so that the text in my captions isn't lost in the seam.  Am I explaining this well enough?
    I realize I could maybe do what I want to do by creating two half-photos from the one—the photo for the left-hand page would be the left side of the photo, the photo for the right-hand page would be the right half of the photo.  I could do the same thing for my text caption(s).  But I'm afraid it would be hard to line up both sides, so they look right when printed.  Which leads me to ask a second question—can I put Pages in a side-by-side view, so I can see both left and right pages together, at the same time?  I've looked under View in the top menu, and I don't see such an option.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Pages '09 v4.3 is not 5 years old and is a substantially better solution than the one year old Pages 5 anything, that at this rate will take until at least 2023 to even reach parity with Pages '09.
    I would not trust a major project which is a lot of my time and money to a failed app such as Pages 5, which has had innumerable file format versions, fails to save, update and open with distressing regularity and seems to have little love or care from Apple in the year it has been out.
    What you propose will not give you the mirrored pages you need for a real book anyway.
    What is not safe is leaving it in Pages 5.5.1

  • Is there any way to keep a photo/text box  where you placed it after it is checked as inline, I have text wrapping around many photos-Pages seem to move the photos to the middle of the page and that will not do for my project.

    I have a book I want to sell as an EPUB when done...only one problem I got the message when doing so: " floating objects aren't supported in ePub format" So I found out by checking inline format that will work but it moves the text box and photo to where it want to go and not where I want it to be...this will not work so how do I make it stay where I place it and still save without the error of floating object issues.... In addition, when I let it go where it wants to go it lets me stay as an ePub and takes me to iTunes producer ( I have my books on iTunes made with iBooks Author) and is this right...I want to make it ready as an ePub not for Apple but for other eBook readers... Can anyoe help? Thanks

    I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
    I do not know what you mean "cut & paist"  how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages? 
    I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
    This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
    I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
    If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
    There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
    Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
    I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ???

  • Can I print book with text blocks instead of photos?

    I have spent all day creating a book to print which included a photo on front, poems in place of photos on all pages (which I'd previously made into jpgs by creating layers in photoshop). I get to the ordering stage and I get an error window saying:
    DEFAULT TEXT: your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?
    SO what does the above mean exactly?
    And is it not possible to print text pages instead of photos?
    Iphoto doesn't appear to give an open to type text on each page, but maybe iphoto 6 (iLife) does???
    And how come it's not possible to ship my order internationally?
    Thank you in advance for your help in answering my questions

    I haven't printed out an iPhoto book myself, but the message you are getting seems to indicate that you did not fill in some parts of page templates. If so, then those parts will print blank even though iPhoto shows them containing default text. You probably wanted them blank anyway, though.
    As for using iPhoto to print out a book with only one picture, that is probably doing things the hard way. If you want to print a book of text, there are now web options to do so costing about the same as an iPhono book. I don't think iPhoto is going to add templates sson for non-photo books.
    As for overseas shipping, that is probably an issue of duties and shipping costs. Many US sellers on the Web will ship only to the US or perhaps Canada.

  • IWeb 08 and photo pages!!!!?

    when updating my old domain file to the new format, i seemed to have lost all the photos on my old photo pages and the formatting is not correct. I thought what the ****, need to refresh the site so decided to create new photo pages etc, using the new index page as well.
    So completed the new pages, saved the domain, published to .mac. site look fine!!!!! Closed iWeb, then opened it again and low and behold, lost the photos and the formating gone.
    Anyone know of a fix?
    Regards
    Mark

    I had a problem with photos missing from Photo pages. I just talked to Apple support and we were able to fix the problem for my domain!
    The Apple support person said that some domain files are not being properly updated to 2.0. In those cases, peoples are experiencing missing pictures and text as navigation on photo pages.
    One indicator if your domain was properly updated to 2.0 is to look at the filename in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/. In my case the file was Domain.sites and not Domain.sites2 so the initial conversion did not complete properly.
    The solution was to replace incorrectly updated Domain.sites file above with the original backup that I made before installing iWeb 2.0. (NOTE - The readme clearly states to backup this file before installing and luckily I did.)
    After copying the file to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, make sure that iWeb is closed (not running). I then double clicked the Domain.sites folder and patiently wait for the Progress bar to complete. (Thank you to another poster on another thread for this suggestion.) You will not receive any success message other than the file will be renamed Domain.Sites2.
    After multiple saves and publishes, it appears that everyone now works correctly. The Apple support person was very interested in user feedback and wants more people to report issues via phone. He took my original domain file (via his iDisc account) so he could submit it to engineering for them to study. It sounds like they could still use a few more examples of Domains that fail the initial upgrade to 2.0.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iweb photo pages are totally wacked (plus the program destroyed my sites!)

    I am having the same problems that everyone else seems to -- missing images, crashing issues, working very slowly, etc. I'm rebuilding ALL of my pages -- I use these sites for work! What's most disturbing is that the photo pages don't work at all for me -- I can build them, but once I close iweb or it crashes, they come back up nearly blank, no images, and the navigation is really weird and different and won't change, and the space to add photos looks really big and weird. What the heck is going on? Please, I need help!!!! I have to update my sites for business.

  • Iweb photos page missing

    iweb 2 keeps deleting the contents of my photo pages. All the other pages stay the same, but when I save and quit the program and re-open it, the entire contents of the photos pages are missing.
    Does any one know how to retrieve them, or make it not happen again?
    Thanks!

  • Problem with copying and pasting text blocks in Fireworks CS5

    Until recently when I copied and pasted a text block in Fireworks CS5, the block would retain all formatting applied to the copied text block, font, size, color, etc. Now, the pasted block reverts to some default setting. Oddly, if I copy multiple text blocks, the formatting is retained as expected, but not if I copy a single text block. I cannot find a preference that affects this, and I cannot figure out what might have changed. The current behaviour is definitely not desired, and is dramatically affecting my efficiency. Anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas how to correct this? Thanks.

    Sure, thanks for replying so quickly. My workflow is simple. My problem is limited to copying and pasting within Fireworks. I typically select an entire block with the main selection arrow but I sometimes use this one too depending on the context. I usually just use the keyboard CTRL-C then CTRL-V to paste. Previously (and I have been using FW for years, it's always been the same) it would paste an identical text block directly over the top of the copied one, and it looked exactly the same, same font, same color, etc. Now, it pastes a new block in the center of the document and all the formatting has reverted to what I guess is the default, in this case Myriad Pro 12pt. The behavior is the same no matter which arrow I use to select the text block. I tried Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, the effect was the same. The Duplicate function seems to work as desired, but I had never noticed or tried that command before reading your post. Using the keyboard to copy/paste is such an ingrained habit I'd much prefer to continue using it as I always have instead of trying to retrain myself. (I'm old, retraining is hard!)
    (Selected block)
    (pasted block)
    Most often I copy and paste directly on the canvas, but occasionally will do it within the layers panel. Both now have the same undesired effect. I also tried creating a new document to see if it was a corruption in my current file, but the issue persisted to the new document as well.
    Thanks.

  • In Acrobat XI, how can I select and move multiple text/image blocks simultaneously on the same page?

    I work with student-generated PDFs that require all content to be within a specific margin range. Occasionally tables and figures are indented or otherwise spaced incorrectly so that the content violates the margin requirements. In Acrobat X, I could use the select tool to draw a select box around all of the text and lines within a table, for example, and just slide the entire table over a bit to meet the requirements without sending the PDF back to the author for a correction. This didn't always work, but often enough that I was able to use it on a daily basis.
    Is there a way to select multiple (but not ALL) text blocks and image pieces on a page, so they may be moved simultaneously? If I have to select every text block and line (or every point and line within a graph) and move them each individually, this is going to be a nightmare.
    I have Acrobat XI for both Mac and Windows, but tend to use the Windows version more often.

    Hey, I'm using Acrobat XI and I can't multi select like I use too do with shift as always. Now I get a green note every time I want to multi select with shift + click as always. I also use Pitstop and I get the same green notes.
    Can someone help me ?

  • How do I use page numbering and a text block in a footer in Word with the Report Generation Toolkit?

    I am creating a Word document with the Report Generation Toolkit, and LabVIEW 8.2.1. In the report I am using a template that has page numbering enabled in the center. When I try to add a text block to the left side footer, it eliminates the page numbering and adds my text on the left side. I found "Set Report Footer Text" and "Word Set Page Numbering" vi's that may be the clue to this. When I use these two vi's I either get Page 1 of 456789-001 on the left side, or if I reverse the order I get only 456789-001(text) in the left side with nothing in the center. What I would like to achieve is 456789-001(text) on the left footer, and Page 1 of 2 in the center. Is this possible and if it is, then how can I do it?

    Hi SciManStev,
    I have attached a vi where you can see how they can be made to work together. You have to design it such that one follows the other. If you don't design it that way, it results in a race condition and only one of them get executed.
    Good Luck!

  • Multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Can I print multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Try the following:
    1 - put the photo in an album and duplicate it as many times as the number of prints you want on a given page. This is assuming the page is US Letter (borderless).
    2 - select all the prints and type Command+P (Print).
    3 - in the next window select Paper Size to be US Letter (borderless).
    4 - also, at the bottom of the window, select the aspect ratio and a custom size that will allow you to get all of the photos on one page.
    This screenshot is for a photo that has a size ratio of 4:3, was duplicated 3 times and then printed with a custom size of 4x3 selected to get four prints on the page. You can experiment the custom size until you get the largest possible size for the 4 photos on the page.
