Pages 5.1: Insert MathType equation into text box?

How do I insert a MathType equation into a text box in Pages 5.1? This was no problem at all in '09!

To DandelionJoy and Mr.MathType
As said by Mr.Mathtype we can enter and editable MathType equation with text into a Pages 5.1 text box. My procedure tried a few minutes ago is :
Inserting a MathType equation in a text box of Pages 5.1
1) Don’t forget to open MathType before pages 5.1.
2) In Pages : Menu Insert > Text box > select it > Inspector > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > do other settings in the Inspector.
3) Menu Insert > Equation MathType…
4) In MathType : type your equation > click the red round button of the window to close it > the equation is now in the Pages window.
5) In Pages : select the equation > Inspector > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on page > do other settings in the Inspector ; you may change size and move the equation without using the Inspector.
6) Type your text in the text box and move the equation as desired.
7) Select equation and text box > Menu Arrange > Group : now equation and text box are joined together, the whole thing can be moved and use the Inspector settings.
The equation can be edited using the same way as for an equation in the text.
So long,

Why does "Insert MathType Equation" not work in new Pages for Mac?

Command opens MathType (6.7e). After typing an equation, pressing Command-W closes the MathType window and returns to Pages. (Instructions given here: http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/#/tan0e6bf8310 indicate that I should have to answer "Yes" to some question at this point, but no question appears. The return to Pages is automatic.) But no equation appears in the placeholder in the Pages 5.0 document (as it does in Pages 4.3). Subsequently double-clicking the placeholder in the Pages 5.0 document opens a new (blank) MathType window. Where is my equation?

Right -- you shouldn't have to start MathType separately. If it's running, fine, but if it's not, it will start when you first use the Insert MathType Equation command.
All the posts and replies have been helpful, but I'm still getting mixed results. The first document I opened in Pages 5.0 was one that I created in Pages 4.3, and it had several MathType equations in it. I could not edit the old equations, but I could insert new ones and edit them once they were inserted. I later rebooted and opened the same document (which was now saved in Pages 5.0 format), and I got a message saying some of the images had been deleted. All of the original equations had been replaced with empty placeholders (gray boxes with a large X), but the new ones were still there.
I haven't been able to duplicate that behavior with additional "old" documents. I can open Pages 4.3 documents in Pages 5.0, and all the old equations are visible and editable. Someone mentioned re-installing MathType, and I must say that I did that (for a different reason), so I must consider the possibility that this had some bearing on the outcome, but I can't be sure.
It does appear, as has been reported many times, and as Peter alluded to above, that you can't add equations or other objects to text boxes or tables. I believe this was intentional on Apple's part, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea.
That said, and this is a Pages thread so I won't say much about it, I haven't seen any problems at all with Keynote 6.0 and Numbers 3.0, when it comes to how they deal with MathType.

I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen.

I assume but I can't check that MathType rely on the standard iWork applications location which isn't the one used by the mac App Store.
Create a subfolder named iWork '09 in the Applications folder.
Select the iwork applications which you own then drag them into the iWork '09 folder.
You will be asked to type your password. Don't worry, it's normal.
It's required because the System must store the infos describing the new location so that, if a new revision is delivered, mac App Store will be able to find the apps where they are.
When this will be done, try to re-install MathType.
I guess that this time it will behave flawlessly.

Neat example. :)
Try this.I did and was at first confused because I expected the code to arrive on-screen looking like the screen-shot at the page. Then it occured to me to type some text including a smiley, and it changed to the icon as expected.
For other people like me who are not quite very clever, how about adding an 'Instructions' section, or initializing the JEP with instructions?
BTW -
"The screenshot shows how it looks like:" reads better as..

How to pupup the calendar value into text box ?

Hi
I want to use the calendar for my text field .
The calendar will popup when I click a button /image. This image will appear next to text box . when click the calendar. The values should come to into text box.
Please give me any idea how to write a code in jsp for handling the value from calendar.
Thanks
Merlin Roshina

I am assuming u have popupcalendar.js and stylesheets.
Include the javascript in your jsp.
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/popcalendar.js"/>
and call the method popUpCalendar on some event like onclick as shown below.
<img border="1" src="images/calendaricon.jpg" title="Open calendar" onClick="popUpCalendar(this,<object to be populated>,'mm/dd/yyyy')" alt="Calendar"/>
<object to be populated> u can give it like this for your text box. U can define an id attribute for your text box and call document.getElementById("<id name>")
and rest the javascript will take care.

To assign it to a text box you couls use the following in the
onload
function
textbox.Text = DateTime.Now.toString;

How do I insert additional pages inside a footnoted document with accompanying text boxes and still keep pages below syncronized?

Is there a way to insert additional pages into a lengthy document containing continuous footnotes at the bottom of each page and accompanying text boxes on most pages without losing the syncronization of text and text box information on the pages below?

Footnotes do not work for text in textboxes, and you can keep on adding text after existing text so I am not sure what you are asking for.

Importing multiple PDF pages into text boxes

Hi,
Im wanting to import a pdf doc of adverts (roughly 300 pages) into indesign into a text box to allow me to treat the individual pages as text items to allow me to space them and fit them to the pages accordingly. I can add single pages into a text box using the place command however it wont flow all the pages into the text box one after each other.
is this possible?

I expect this would need to be scripted unless you are able to use a grid, in which case the "gridified" placing options in CS5 might allow you to place all the pages that will fit on a single page at one time from the loaded cursor. That's not something I've played with, though so I can't wear it would work.
I'm not sure placing them as inline anchored objects (as you describe), by the way, is going to give you the sort of placement control you want.

How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Box 1"
keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
keystroke "Box 2"
keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
keystroke "Box 3"
keystroke tab & tab
-- and so on
end tell
end tell
The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.

How do I change the colour of a page in Pages without using a floating shape or text box?

I want to change the colour of a page in Pages without having to stretch out a floating coloured shape or using a text box to write the text in. I have been stretching shapes and using text boxes for years but surely there is an simpler and more elegant way to do this? Plus, I want to be able to type several pages of continuous text and not have to split the text up into multiple text boxes. Any help most welcome.

There are a whole lot more really essential features missing in Pages than this.

I can't move any objects or paste into text boxes on InDesign CS5.5

I have tried to move objects that I have placed or created in InDesign and can't move them at all. Also, I can't paste what text I have copied into a text box.
I'm using InDesign CS5.5 and on a Mac with OS X10.6.

Sounds like one of three things:
Objects are on the master page, Objects are locked and you haven't change the prefs to allow you to select them (but not move them), or objects are on a locked layer.

Paste does not work in Safari browser to enter copied content into text box

For example when I go to copy a URL Sosa to paste it into a text box on a local newspaper comment section, it won't paste in. Same goes for any pasting into the text box. I highlight what I want to copy (or cut) and the go to paste it into the text box, and nothing happens. Also there is this problem of the cursor not wanting to go where you direct it with your finger on the touch screen, where you have to get out of the data entry mode altogether then get back in to be able to continue typing to enter text, an d to add to the frustration, the cursor won't go where you want it to, but seems to arbitrarily choose an other place in the middle of the word next to where you want it to! Anyone experience this? I can't believe I'm the only one.

Please don't take offense, you can't believe what some people post and then realize later that they have had a "duh" moment.
I don't know what to suggest other the basic fixes, rebooting (holding the sleep and home buttons down until the Apple logo appears) and see if that helps - maybe clear the cookies and data in Safari even though that should not have any bearing at all on this issue or so I would think.
I can relate to the cursor jumping on the screen issue as I do experience that from time to time. Not quite as bad as you seem to experience it, but it does happen to me as well. I have found that I get the best results using a light touch. And of course I will also enlarge the screen as well if I get too frustrated with the insertion point.
Can we assume that you can copy and paste with the success in email, notes, etc?

I just want to type on a plain piece of paper. I want to type several pages. I go to Pages and the blank paper has a text box around my type and only lets me type 400 words. How do I expand?

I want to type several pages of text. I go to Pages and it puts a text box around my text and only allows 400 words. How do I get unlimited paper? Thanks in advance.

On the introductory window, also make sure you pick from the top choices under Word Processing - I just use "Blank". If you choose the Blank under the sedon set (page layout), you will have to get a text box. I use that setting if I have a lot of images I want to insert and then have text around/near the images.
See my screenshot here:
When you're done with that page, it should automatically move to the next one or you can choose another blank page in the pulldown in the toolbar.

I need to rotate my text in pages - in a template - not just a text box

I am trying to make labels in Pages using a template I downloaded from the place I bought the labels. Problem is I cannot rotate the text! And I cannot select the text box - it is not working. WHY PAGES WHY???? Does anyone know how to deal with this?

If you already designed a label art and need to rotate it to fit the label itself you can select all the elements from the design and select "group" then on the "format" tab of the Inspector you can rotate it. If you wish to print more than one label just copy, paste and move them to the label area. Hope this helps.
Can you also post a print screen so we can better understand what you are trying to achieve.
