Services deleting layout breaks

First off, Pages does not show services in the contextual menu as advertised for Snow Leopard. The services show up in TextEdit when text is selected, but not in Pages. (Except for a few that must be connected by some different mechanism, as they don't show in TextEdit but do show in Pages.) Baffling.
Secondly, when I use a text service via the Pages > Services route, if the text I have selected includes a layout or page break, the breaks are deleted. If the service involves any kind of text substitution, even if it's just "smarten quotes", it will delete all breaks. I have tried both TextSoap and WordServices with same result.
I can work around this by selecting only the text between breaks to run services on, but that means making dozens of manual selections in a document instead of CMD-A, AND I have to go to the Pages > Services menu every time instead of using a right-click popup. Tedious. (Yes, I could assign keyboard shortcuts, but I would never remember them.)
I guess this is feedback, not a question, since I don't really expect anyone knows how to make Pages play nicely with Services. If anybody else is frustrated with this problem, feel free to chime in.

Snow Leopard changed the behavior of Services.
Only those which you choose to display are displayed.
The choice is made from the menu
Services > Services preferences.
I installed some components of WordServices.
This new scheme is really interesting which allow us to work with a Services menu with a reasonable number of items.
As far as I know, Services where never reachable thru ctrl-click (aka right-click).
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Job nfs-server.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle [SOLVED]

I have the following entries in my journal:
Found ordering cycle on rpc-statd-notify.service/start
Found dependency on nfs-server.service/start

Found dependency on nfs-client.target/start

Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job nfs-server.service/start
Job nfs-server.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with rpc-statd-notify.service/start
and nfs-server does not start. So it would seem that the nfs services are starting in the wrong order. Could some kind person explain why and tell me how to fix this?
Apart from following the arch wiki for nfs I don't believe that I have changed anything.
Thanks
Andrew

Removing Blank Space (line) Accompanying Layout Breaks

I've used a layout break to make a portion of text two-column after a one-column section. Whatever I do, whereever I put it, the layout break takes space. It's a farily tight document, in a 10pt. font, and the line the layout break takes screws up the layout of the whole page. How can I get it to not put a whole blank line between the one-column section and the two-column section?

I might not fully understand the problem but take the paragraph break off the end of the line on the first section:

PLD "Delete Layout" is grayed out

I opened an existing template in PLD. I then went to the menu Print Layout Designer > Save As and gave the templete a new name.
I want to now delete the template but under the menu Print Layout Designer > Delete Layout it is greyed out and not selectable.
How do I delete this template? It is not a system template which are not Deleteable.

It was set as a default for all my BPs.
Problem solved. Thank you.

Layout Breaks are inserting a big gap in my document

Inserting a Layout Break before and after an area of a page that needs to be in two columns leaves about 25 points of space above and below the columned area. This space is unaffected by paragraph spacing, line spacing, etc. It just occurs with the layout formatting. Why? This big gap in my document is throwing off the overall formatting. How do I make it smaller/go away? Any ideas much appreciated!
Zach

z,
You might try clicking on the Layout inspector > Layout button, and take a look at the Before setting. Reduce the number there and the space should reduce correspondingly.

Layout Break Space Before Paragraph

I am using a layout break in pages. I have a heading style with a background fill on my paragraph. I have a before paragraph space of 14. If I place the heading style right after a layout break (at the top of the new layout section) it eats my before paragraph space. Seems like a bug but I thought I would ask if anyone has a solution or workaround.
Thanks
Chris

It may not be completely intuitive, but that is how it is supposed to work. Space before and space after apply between paragraphs in a layout section but not at the beginning or end of a layout section or at the beginning or end of a page. It is sort of like the way the last character in a word can be right against the margin and yet the next line does not have to start with a space; the area outside the margins can "count" for this kind of white space. A layout break works like a margin here, even if it is in the middle of a page (and not necessarily preceded by white space).
If you are producing a multipage document, you normally want the tops of the text blocks of each page to line up at the margin, not jump up and down if one page happens to start with a new paragraph that has a space before set.
To deal with your situation with needing the white space at the beginning of a new layout section, with the cursor in that section, use the Layout pane of the Inspector to set the "Before" margin of that section to, for example, 14 pts.

How can I remove space inserted by layout break?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the blank line added by inserting a layout break?
I have a word processing document that has a title, authors, affiliation etc centered as a single column at the top of the page followed by a layout break and the rest of the document text in two columns. The problem is that the layout break inserts a blank line so instead of a continuous single line spacing throughout the document its two parts are separated by blank line.

Hi MartinSmith,
Welcome to Pages '09 discussions.
I'm not quite sure what you're doing so here's what I did:
1. Created a new document
2. At the top I put Author below that Affiation then immediately did Insert > Layout Break
3. Made the remaining of the page two columns.
My document doesn't have the extra line feed you speak of. It most likely is I'm not following your lead. Please provide more information so we may better assist you.

PM Operation - Services Tab Layout

All,
In a PM Order, I am trying to maintain the Field layout on the Services tab of the Operation Detail screens when I have the control key set with {X-"internally processed operation/external processing possible"}. With that setting in the control key, the "Gross Price" field is not visible. My objective is to have the field visible, but administering the layout through the transaction is not working.
Is anyone familiar with an IMG Activity that will allow me set the Services tab layout for that control key? It is not in the Operation Detail Filed Selection IMG Activity, and the screen field is "ESLL-TBTWR".
Thanks,
Jim

I understand that '' is the external services setting. But why does the 'x' setting change the layout of the services tab to not include Gross Price? The purpose of that 'X' setting is to allow for internal OR external processing. It won't generate a purchase req if the setting is 'x' but I'd expect to be able to enter gross price per unit in the services tab, just like it is for the '' external setting. Or I expect to be able to modify the tab layout.
(both cases the Service box is checked)
Any ideas why i can't change the layout of the services tab? Any ideas why the services tab changes depending on the externally processing option?
Thanks,
Jim

Headers, Sections Breaks and Layout Breaks

I need to be able to turn Headers on and off in different places in the documents. In Appleworks I would make a section break, tell it not to carry over the headers and footers from the previous section, and that was it. In Pages 09, Section breaks start a new page, which I don't want. Layout breaks don't start a new page, but I don't see I can tell it to NOT carry over the headers and footers from the previous Layout. Is there no way to do this?
Frustrated in MO

I really don't understand where is the problem with the need to insert a section break to ask the app to use a different page header.
The headers appear on top of pages which means that they appear after pages or section breaks.
It seems that you did something wrong. When I insert a section break the app doesn't create a new page, it insert a forced separation between two existing pages.
Are you sure that you used the menu "Insert a section break" ?
My guess is that you used "Insert a Section".

Fixed section or layout breaks

In pages, is there a way to fix a section or layout break to start at the second page?
All I have found thus far are floating section breaks. As I type more on the first page, the section break moves down, so I later have to move it to the start of the second page manually. I would like it to be fixed to start on the second page and have the text flow around the break.

If you describe what you want to do in more detail, it's possible there may be a different way to do what you want. Section breaks are not the feature you are looking for to do this, since they pretty much define the end of text flow -- text in one section can't flow to another, and thus can't flow around a section break.

My tech service deleted thunderbird because we don't support it, but I still prefer it AND it had ALL of my addresses on it. Is there any way to get it back

my tech service deleted thunderbird because we don't support it, but I still prefer it AND it had ALL of my addresses on it. Is there any way to get it back?

Thunderbird consists of a program (installed under Program Files) and your data, which you can find in your profile folder (explained [[Profiles TB|here]].
As long as you still have your profile data, it'll be back once you reinstall Thunderbird.
You could even run Thunderbird off a USB thumb drive if you prefer.
