Text to flow 1st column 1st page TO 1st column 2nd page - IS IT POSSIBLE?
Pages 2.0.1v2 en Mac OS X 10.4.7.
I would like to have a 2-column document, where the text flows independently within each column across the pages of the document. That is, when the text of the left column, first page, reaches the end of the first column, first page, I would like the text to flow to the beginning of the left column, page 2. Instead, Pages flows the text to the right column, page 1.
Is that possible.
Thanks.
I'm not a hundred percent sure that I understand you, but I'll take a stab at it. I think what you're asking for is text overflow from column 1 on page 1 to column 1 on page 2. And then the overflow from column 2 on page 1 to column 2 on page 2. Is that correct? If so, insert two independent text boxes on page 1 (make sure you use the Wrap Inspector to define them as Fixed on Page), and from them create linking text boxes on page two. I tested it and it seems to overflow nicely.
That's the good news. The bad news is that you'll have to do this manually for 400 pages, since there doesn't seem to be an automatic way to accomplish this. I even tried copying and pasting a linked box, and the resulting pasted box would unlink each time. So unless there's something I'm missing, it would seem that the process (tedious in your case) is to place two text boxes on page 1, then manually click on the blue "ears" to create the linked boxes for the next page. But I can't imagine you'd want to do this 400 times.

Long Text Field Flowing incorrectly to next page
Hi Guys,
I have checked the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" in a subform. I include a text field in the subform and checked "Allow multiple lines" so if the long text cannot fit in the text field within one page, it will continue to next page. The problem now is the content in the second page is not continue from the first page, but it is copy the content from first page.
For example: 8 lines need to fit into text field. Only 5 lines can fit into text field in first page. Then the line 6-8 should continue in second page. Yes, the text field have 3 lines in second page, but not line 6-8, it copies the line 1-3 from the first page.
Anyone have experience on this or anyone can help me?

South AfricaHi,
I found a solutions to my problem (and posted it also to the SAP-SDN forum).
I changed following setting in the LiveCycle Designer (in Netweaver Dev. Studio):
edit->Form Properties->Defaults->Preview->Preview Type->Choose Print Form (instead of Interactive Form)
I prepared some XML-Data and used the preview: voila - no scrollbars!
Since we only create PDF for printing the result is ok.
Update: Only in preview mode the scrollbar is missing not when I use it in server application (web dynpro - ads).
Cheers,

How to get text flow onto the next page from template "travel journal"?
When wanting to create a new document, I chose "Travel journal" between "side layouts" in templates. When it opens, you see one page with pictures and example of text.
When I start to write my text in the text field, it disappears when I get to the end of the page.
What do I do to have the text move/flow to the next page automatically?The "Travel Journal" template is a page layout document & uses text boxes. There is no default flow to another page. You need to insert a new page & then create a linked text box. You can link existing text boxes or create a new text box linked to an existing one. Click the linking triangle then click to create a new box or click an existing box to link to it.

Making a text table flow from page to page?
I'm creating a template in InDesign that will be used to create tags, using a simple table and paragraph formatting to create heirarchy on each tag. I need to flow long lists of text from Word or Excel to the table, and since there are only 10 tags on each page, there will inevitably be multiple pages of tags.
Is there a way to create a table that spans multiple pages (preferably expandable) and allows text to flow into the multiple page tables?
The tags must be formatted a certain way, so there isn't any room for auto-styling unless the new pages follow exactly the styles of the existing pages.You have the data in an Excel file? Are these "tags" like some sort of product label? D they all look the same, except for the actual text?
If the answer to the above questions is "yes," openthe Help file and look up Data Merge. -
Text placement flowing onto new pages?
I am having a difficult time with the placement of text as it flows onto the next page.
I get everything to flow correctly--the field expands, goes onto the next page fine. I have a time field associated with this text field, which pushes it to the right. However, when the text field flows to the next page, it moves over to the left! I want it to stay in place, but I can't figure out how. Any suggestions?? It's kind of driving me batty!
I would have attached the pdf here to show exactly what I'm talking about, but they seem to have taken away the ability to attached pdf documents? I can only attach a video or picture. So I took a screen shot of what the form looks like when you try to fill it out and it goes onto the next page. I hope this helps.I believe, there are 2 items to be attantioned:
first:
look at object-panel, the field-tab, there is a cross to be set at pagebreak...
second:
look at the Layout-panel: there is a cross to be set under Y and Hight!
if no effect, than, take a new part of form around our item and check these 2 opinions to be set:
it might be work.
well, it has been this weekend my fashion to find a relation between these two selected items, not well.
ok?! -
In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!
In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!
Thank you for your reply,
When I click 'view' , I can "show inspector". From the table tab, I can pull up the "Format". [See below]. I don't see the "Arrange" or "Object Placement Move with Text"
Right now I have the Wrap Text On. When I take it off, It messes up my rows [see second image].
All I want is for my column to flow onto the second page.
Your assistance is genuinely appreciated.
Thank you again. -
Column text to flow across more than one page in same column
I am trying to write a document of several pages with three, or maybe even four columns. There will be text headers in one column, alongside which there will be the main text associated with the headers. In another column there will some more key phrases, and again these will need to be lined up against particular text in the first two columns.
I would like to make the text in one column stay in that single column across the whole document, and not flow into the next column on the particular page. I know that using a succession of text boxes is one solution, but it is clumsy and is also difficult to manage. Perhaps another solution would be to use a table, but again that feels clumsy.
Can anyone advise on the best way to do this please.Hi everyone and thanks for your help. I tried to explain more clearly than I seem to have done. Walt has understood that I want the text in column one, page one, to flow to column one, page two; and the text from column two, page one, to flow to column two, page two, etc. I thought it might have to be text boxes. I now need to learn about how to 'link' them, and whether it is across or down the page I need to create the links.
The document is an aide memoire or manual for a trainer to use. It has the media to be used in one column, the visual aid in the next column and the notes in column three. I might also include a fourth column to show essential or key questions etc that have to be used.
Thanks again everyone. -
How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Hello,
I am currently using LiveCycke Designer to create a scholarship for my company. I created fields for the form and I would like to insert a text to describe the scholarship. When I insert the text, it doesn't flow onto the next page. I've tried creating a subform and clicking "flowed" and "allow page breaks within content". I also clicked auto-fit for the height, but it just makes a line. For the text box, I've clicked "Expand to fit on the height". It is also a dynamic XML Form. Is there anything else I should be doing?
I could always send the file to someone to see if they can figure it out.
Thank you,
NatalieThank you so much !
but the link doesn't seem to work. It says that the URL is not in the correct format for an Acrobat.com document link.

Subject: How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Here is the corrected form..Even you you set the Subform type to "Flowed" to the subform where the Text box resides, you did not set the Page1 to Flowed (which is the key)..But when I make the Page1 type to "Flowed", all your fields above the Scholrship text boxes' Subform will go one below another.. To fix this, first I have select all the fields and wrap them into a subform and then set the Page1 to Flowed..

How can I insert text in Pages so it flows to the next page?
I try copying a block of text into Pages but it cuts off at the end of the page instead of flowing to the next page. How do I fix this?
You have probably started with a Layout mode template instead of a Word Processing template. See the sidebar in the Template Chooser for which is which.
Alternatively you may have pasted an object (possibly from the Internet), not text into a Word Processing template. Click inside the object and copy the text, then delete the object and try pasting again.

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5?
How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5 with the Maverick system?
What may be overlooked in Pages v5 is the notion of combining Text Boxes via the Menu > View > Show Arrange Tools. When you select two Text Boxes, an extra panel unfolds at the bottom of the Arrange Tools window. Uncheck one Text Box and this panel abruptly disappears.
One can achieve text flow effects between Text Boxes differently based on how one positions the Text Box overlap, and choice of effect above. Though not the accustomed flow found in Pages ’09 v4.3, flow does occur. Consider the possibilities of combining a Shape and a Text box to cut an irregular Text box.
If I create two Text Boxes and position them side by side with outline touching and choose Unite, this creates one larger Text Box and text flows across and down. On the otherhand, if I overlap the upper left corner of a lower Text Box over one above and to the left, then choose Union, pasted text fills the first Text Box and then flows across and down into the other box. Here is a Union example:
Intersect will leave a small Text Box where the two overlap, so not much value there. Subtract will cut a chunk out of one Text Box that is the size of the overlapping piece of the second Text Box:
And Intersect will leave an island in the center where the two Text Box overlap, with flow jumping over this bridge.
Clearly, this is not what we were accustomed to in the past, but with imagination, style, and layout tuning, it does offer alternative Text Box creativity and layout. Of course, there is the option of simply returning to the previous Pages version for true Text Box linking that most will want to use. -
Table of contents and the order of multiple text frames flowing across pages
I have a multi-page document,
on each page, there are 2 text frames:
- A text frame for containing a PAGE TITLE
and
- A text frame, flowing from one page to another containing: a MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy (on page 1); and another MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy; (on page 2)
When I generate a TOC, using the Page, Main and Section Titles styles, the expected outcome would be:
Page Title 1
Main Title 1
Section Title 1
Page Title 2
Main Title 2
Section Title 2
But because the Main title and Section titles are all within one flowing text frame and the content flows across multiple pages, and each of the Page Titles are within 2 separate text frames, the actual TOC generated is:
Page Title 1
Main Title 1
Section Title 1
Main Title 2
Section Title 2
Page Title 2
...where the TOC lists all the TOC items from the flowing text frame in one grouping first, then the individual free standing text frame title.
QUESTION: Is the only way to automatically rectify this is to combine all the text into one flowing text frame? or is there another workaround?
Have played with the left/right, top/bottom alignment of the individual text frames; also experimented with the object layering, to no avail..
Thanks for any insights.I ended up using a product called InFlow from EmSoftware. The solution offers a plugin to InDesign that builds pages on the fly when there is overset text. The setup is pretty minimual and it seems easy to use. The only drawback that the plugin MAY have is that it does not remove the pages it built if the pages are not needed from record to record. I could not test this myself since my test data did not test more then one record, but when I turned my proof set off, the pages that were built were still on screen. It does seem to work well for what we are looking to do, so if anyone is looking for something that will build pages on the fly in situations where the "Dynamic Story Handling" is not available, I would suggest looking into this.

Crosstab - Quarterly Date Range Column - Need to Print 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr,etc
I am using Crystal 2008.
I have a column in a cross tab that pulls from a date field. In the crosstab expert, in the group options for the column, I have indicated to sort in a specific order, by quarter. In the specified order tab, I have created the orders for 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr, and 4th Qtr.
However, the colum heatding prints with the the dates of 01/2010, 04/2010, 07/2010, and 10/2010 instead of 1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr and 4th Qtr.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.The date in the column (which is the only column) is a date field MM/DD/YYYY. The column name use to print correctly (1st Qtr, 2nd Qtr, 3rd Qtr, 4th Qtr) and now it suddenly started printing 01/2010, 04/2010, 07/2010, 10/2010. In the crosstab expert, I have the date field in the column section and under group options, I have set it to print in a specified order. In the specified order tab, I added named groups for each quarter. When defining the named groups, each group was set to look at the date field for the correct quarter. For example, the name group "Qtr 1" is defined as "in the period " "Calender1stQtr". That is what is in the drop-down boxes for me to choose when defining the named groups.
This data is correct. It is pulling data and putting the information in the correct columns. It is just the heading that will no longer print in the format I want. This report has been available for some time and it has always worked correctly. We have not modified or upgraded the Crystal product, so I'm not understanding why it won't still work the same way without having to try to create other formulas. The named group section has the criteria I need in the drop down boxes. -
How to add an image or static text in the header of EACH page of a cross-Tab report
Post Author: rtutus
CA Forum: General
Hi, I use Crustal 11.0.
I have a cross Tab. I display the items on the left column and the months horizontally, the items are grouped by category field. The values are the sum of quantities are displayed for each month. Like this:
Items Jan Feb March .....................Total
Category 1
Item11 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item12 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item13 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
Category 2
Item21 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item22 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item23 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
Category 3
Item31 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item32 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item33 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
The problem, I want to add a page header for each page of the report.
When Crystal reports first displays my cross-tab in the designer, CR displays the cross tab in the Report header section. I d like to add text or image for each page and not only at the begining of my Cross-Tab.
If I just add an image or text at the top of the report designer, which is my report header, I get the image or text only on the begining of the 1st page of my report but never in the other following pages.
If I try to work around the problem and move the cross Tab to a group section instead, and then put the Image in the group header, I get what I want, but the problem is that:
The columns header: Jan, February....December are displayed for each group of my report and not only in the beginning of the report. I get something like this:
Items Jan Feb March .....................Total
Category 1
Item11 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item12 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item13 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
Items Jan Feb March .....................Total
Category 2
Item21 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item22 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item23 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
Items Jan Feb March .....................Total
Category 3
Item31 val11 Val12 Val13 Total values
Item32 val21 Val22 Val23 Total values
Item33 val31 Val32 Val33 Total values
You see the months get duplicated. Any way, my real need is to add an image or text in the header of EACH page of a cross-Tab report.
Thanks a lot for your help.Hi Divya,
you could do for example in the wdDoInit() of the view
wdContext.currentContextElement().setPicture("picture.gif");
Now you assign this context variable to the Tab using the Tab_header's imageSource-Property. When you click on its value column, you see a button with three dots on it. If you click on this button, you will get all context nodes and attributes for this View. Usable variables are clearly marked, you now choose the one named Picture or what ever name you prefer to use. But it must correspond to the one set in the wdDoInit.
I think setting a picture (not necessarily for the tab-page) is done in one of the excellent tutorials. If you are a newcomer I strongly recommend doing some of the tutorials. I have learned tremendously from them.
Hope this helped

Can InDesing flow cell contents across pages?
I'm working in InDesign CS5 on a book project that contains a very long table (3 columns by 300+ rows over about 120 pages). The cell contents is all text and the center columns' cells contain some very long passages (the left column contains dates and the right column is short source citations). The table was originally created in Word Perfect -- I coverted it to an MS Word document, checked it and saved it, then imported it into ID using the Place command. All goes along very smoothly until I get to a row where the text in the center cell is very long indeed -- too long to fit on less than one whole page, so ID forces it to the next whole page (see the screen shot below). Problem is, this is intended to be a continuous table. In MS Word, the text in the cell happily flows to the next page. I need to do that in ID, but HOW? Any advise is gratefully appreicated. Thanks. Kirk
ID will not break a cell across a column or page boundary. About the only thing I can think of to do waht you want would be to add a row to the table, then adjust the height of the tall row manually so the cell goes overset and cut the excess, then paste into the new row.
