Ad new words to Pages to the spellchecker - in a easy way?

It is not easy to add new words to the spellchecker - via Learn
it would be fine if a menu came up - and as default - a ADD to box -
by hitting the Enter key
that would speed up - when I have to go to add 50 - 100 technical words etc.
2) better solution to at rules to divide words ala com-pli-ca-ted
I have until now not found a way to tell Pages - how I like to change - or add the words,
offen - the system - do NOT divide the words - so the whole word moves to the next line.....
Hope there is a solution to that, or that it will be added soon
Thanks

Took time to read *_Pages User Guide_* is the best way to no longer waste time.

I updated to a new version of pages and the old icon is still appearing on my dashboard...Where do I find the new pages icon??

I updated to a new version of Pages but the old icon is still appearing on my dashboard. I know it updated b/c it shows it did in the app store. But I can't find the new icon.

Design option missing for Fluid Grid layouts (was:In dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page...)

Hi, in dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page are limited to code / split / live. The design optin is missing and I need it to move around the fluid grid to position my elements that I have created.
Thanks

Hi Raymi,
Like Ben suggested, you can vote for the feature using the link provided. From what I understand, the product team is collecting feedback on the limitations of Live View for FG layouts and improving experience on that front. It would help if you could provide a list of limitations with the current workflow.
Thanks,

When I download Word documents in Firefox, I can't save them as ".doc" and/or ".docx" files. They go to "recent documents" as ".lnk" files and I can't even cut-n-paste the info into a new Word document to fix the problem

Details are covered in the question. There is some sort of bug in downloading files in Firefox 4.0, downloaded files simply won't exist outside of "Recent files", which upload as ".lnk". I don't seem to have this issue with IE9.

Not in MAC mail. In yahoo mail. I fiddled around with it after posting, and discovered that if I saved the entire email to the desktop in HTML(?), and then opened the email, I was able to open the attachment as well. This is a pretty roundabout way to open an attachment. I'd much rather be able to do it in one step. Any idea why this is happening? A more direct way to fix? I am not a computer person. Just stumbled on the idea of saving it in different format. Thanks.

Using the AutoText Feature: An easy way to generate Digital Signatures

One feature I find particularly useful is "AutoText".
Using this, you can assign a keystroke combination to effectively generate a word, phrase or sentence while typing messages on your blackberry.
This is a great tool, particularly for multiple digital signatures across several email addresses, text messages and also to use with apps like Facebook and Twitter.
To access the "AutoText" feature, begin a new email or text message, hit the "Menu" button and select "Edit AutoText".
A list of all the stored abbreviations is displayed.
Simply begin typing the set of keystrokes you want to associate with your digital signature (or any other word/ phrase/ sentence etc.) and you will see the current abbreviations associated with those keys.
Type in a unique set of keys you want to associate with a series of words and hit the "return" or "enter" key.
A new screen with the following display will appear:
"Replace:
With:
Using: SmartCase
Language: All Locales"
In the "Replace:" section, key in your own abbreviation and the associated word or words in the "With:" area.
Pick the options from the "Using:" and "Language:" drop down menus and you're done!!
Hit the "Back" key and select "Save" from the dialog box which appears.
Now, use the keystroke you just created while typing messages and see how much easier this wonderful feature makes your life!!
Trust this tip is valuable to you all. I'm not the best writer in the world so if anything here is not clear, please ask and I will clarify to the best of my ability.
Best.

Thanks for your write up. Indeed autotext is great way to simplify your signature or commonly used templates for SMS or emails.

How to copy the bullet point format/style from MS Word to Pages?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make the swap from Mac Word to Pages but the one thing that frustrates me so much to the point of not using Pages is the bullet point system.
In Word the set spacings are exactly how I want them - whereas in Pages, everything is tighter - there is less space between the margin and the point, the point and the text etc.
I've painstakingly inserted all the spacings from Word into Pages and saved it as a "style" but it just reverts back to the default positioning when I open up a new document and select my saved style.
Any ideas / a magic tool to just copy the style from Word? It's such a shame because Pages is a much slicker programme than Word and I really want to use it but as a student, bullet points are my world.
Thanks,
James

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply.
Yeah I get the font and formatting for the text copied no problem when copying but I'm talking about from scratch in a new document, I insert a bullet point and even when selecting my saved style, it just reverts back to the default.
I agree, massive pain. It is the only thing stopping me from making the full switch now iCloud Drive is getting close to Dropbox.
Am I a misguided fool for thinking there's a patch or modification of some description that can copy the default bullet spacings from Word and create a new style following them in Pages?
Thanks, James

Pages (and other iWork apps) does not recognize new words

I don't know for sure whether the problem I'll say is about Pages 5.0 (and iWork, entirely) or about OS X Mavericks. As I'm new in the support community, I would ask to move the question to the right place if it is not already.
About the problem: after upgrading to OS X Mavericks and the new iWork versions, I have noticed one thing. Even though I add new words to Pages' dictionary as I write them, it seems like that makes no difference in a long time. The first insertion and correction are OK, but later, if I type the same new word, it becomes underlined in red, as a clear indication that it is wrong. However, when I go to see the correction options (by either Control-Clicking or Two-Finger-Clicking), no suggestions are shown. And worse, the only possibility (besides copying, cutting...) is to "Unlearn" that word as if it were already known and - presumably - correct.
The same appears to occur in the other iWork applications, but, as I don't do such heavy writing on them, I cannot give a certain opinion on them.
The problem, however, does not affect my productivity, but it is weird to see red marks on correct words. Especially in Engineering or Chemistry terms that are not built-in in those applications.
Just for additional details, I'm using both the system and the iWork applications in Brazilian Portuguese (as I am in Brazil).
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you, Tom for the answer.
However, doing as you said showed me two things: the problem does not exist in English, but occurs system-wide (all applications) in Portuguese.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance, again.

Can you get a free download of the new Pages through the appstore if you already have an earlier version of iworks from a disk?

I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine. It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store. Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk? Thanks.

No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here.

Suddenly not able to open a lot of my documents due to "needing a newer version of pages"..?

I just got my Macbook Air in early december (my old macbook was getting too old), and the ONLY version of pages I have is the newest one.
Originally, it worked fine -(it was annoying and not as good as the old pages, in my opinion however) - and I had no issues for about a month. I was able to successfully open and edit all saved files. I submitted most of them to colleagues and teachers through Google Drive, although I'd always save two copies of every document I used - one for my files and one for drive storage. Suddenly, neither will open.
Just recently, my teacher informed me that he was unable to open my documents anymore. I was puzzled by this and attempted to open the document both in drive and on my computer, but was confused when it informed me I "needed a newer version of pages". I have the NEWEST version of pages. This document was saved on the NEWEST VERSION of pages.
About half of my files - both on google drive and in my storage - are now unable to open or even convert due to me getting a notification saying "I need a newer version of pages".
A lot of the files I received were downloaded through google drive as Microsoft Word files, and were automatically converted. They worked fine as a pages document when I received them, and was able to successfully work on them and complete them and then resubmit them through Google Drive. A month later, these same files will not open, due to me needing a newer version, but no newer versions are even available.
My mac also has a remote disc - everything from my old laptop was transferred to my new by apple when I bought it.
However, the old files are not the issue. It's the files that I've downloaded and editing since I bought my new laptop that are the issue.
I'm also not a genius with computers - I've used a mac since 2011, but have never really encountered issues that needed me to really "get to know" the innerly functions of the computer until now.
Help? Some of the said documents are very important to my work and I need to be able to succesfully submit them so others can open them through google drive or dropbox.

I've seen other people solve their issue this very same way, based on other conversations, but my case is different. No older version of pages exists on my laptop.
My laptop is new, so I have no older version of pages anywhere on my laptop - I never installed it.
All files that I transferred from my old laptop to my new laptop that were made using the old pages still work, but a majority of the new documents that I've created since getting my new laptop will not work.
After further investigation, the ONLY files that will not open are files that had been converted from Microsoft Word to pages and then saved.
So, on my new laptop, I would download a file from another user through Google Drive and then convert it from Word to Pages.
The pages documents worked, and I saved them successfully, and I could reopen them when I first created them.
But now, checking them again a month later, all files and only files that had been converted from word to pages say that "I need to update to a newer version of pages" - but all files that were created in pages by me work fine. And so do documents that I downloaded AS pages documents.
This is the notification I see whenever I try to open a file that was originally a word document. All ex-word format pages documents that I converted from word to pages give me this notification and will not allow me to open the document. They worked originally, but now suddenly do not.. why?

MS Word to Pages Conversion Issues

Hello, I recently added the MS Office software (PowerPoint, Word, etc), and I'm having issues with converting back from MS Word to Pages. The document will convert from Word to Pages, but when I open it in Pages the font has changed and there are weird symbols in place of words. I actually prefer using Pages to write and edit my documents....
Please help! Thank you!

Yes, but the issue is that as long as I have Word on my computer, the documents that were once Pages documents are now in Word. Even when I reset the 'default' back to Pages, what the documents were orginally created in, the documents don't properly convert back to Pages. So, I'm wondering if I remove/uninstall MS Word all together if that will look after the problem...

Problem in copy 2 WORD files to a new WORD file

Hi
I have a problem in copy 2 WORD files to a new WORD file -
i.e. the text of the new WORD file suppose to be composed from the text of the 2 original WORD files.
Unfotunately I get a new WORD file which i can't open, or a file which contains strange simbols in it.
So far i succeded in copy one WORD file to a new WORD file , using - FileOutputStream and FileInputStream, the code is:
import java.io.*;
public class IOStreamDemo {
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {
InputStream in2 = new FileInputStream("fruit.doc");
OutputStream out2 = new FileOutputStream("dst2.doc");
// Transfer bytes from in2 to dst
byte[] buf2 = new byte[1024];
int len2;
while ((len2 = in2.read(buf2)) > 0) {
out2.write(buf2, 0, len2);
in2.close();
out2.close();
Does sombody know how to do it properly?
Thanks

dear friend
I just create two word file one is fruit.doc and other
is dst2.doc
after that i write some lines in fruit.doc
then I just execute your code.
after that I open dst2.doc
then I found it as exact copy of fruit.doc
I doesn't get any junk text.
Your code is working absolutely fine.No it is not. Add som styling, headers, index etc to the docuements, and then try to run the code. It's not possible to just append two word documents. You have to parse the files and read relevant information, and then create a new valid document with that information.

When New Tab Canvas/Page?

What is the best way to determine when you user has navigated to a new tab canvas/page when the navigation does not occur by clicking on the tab canvas's Tab? For instance, when the user clicks a button item that navigates to a different tab canvas/page I want to disable the tab canvas/page the user came from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Behaviour for learning new words

Hello all,
I have a Xperia Z3 and a HTC One Mini and on both devices I have activated the new word learning feature and the swipe typing function, because I generally like that. However, the HTC One Mini does the word learning in a far better way and I was wondering if the Sony could be set to behave the same way.
Here is the difference...
- The Sony learns each and every word that it doesn't know as I type without any exception.
- The HTC learns words it doesn't know only if I click the new word twice after writing it.
I like the HTC behaviour much more, because it gives me control about the words that end up in my list of own new words.
The Sony device just bloats my list of own new words and I have to clean that up periodically in order to get meaningful suggestions when I type. Words that I maybe just used once, numerals that are actually not words, words that are long conjunctions of multiple basic words, and of course also words that I just misspelled keep ending up in my word list. As a result completely meaningless and sometimes unexpected suggestions come up, e.g. like a long word as "insubordination" although I just wanted to type "in".
Does anyone know if the Sony device can be set to behave as the HTC?

New User Registration page does not launch

I am setting up a simple process to register a new user to my APEX application. At the login screen, the user can select "new user registration" button if they would like to register for a new id. Well, it was working for awhile and it stopped working sometime after I added the validations for the new registration fields. Now, whenever I launch the login screen and click on the "new user registration" nothing happens. If I bring up the "new user registration" page in the application builder, and click "run", it launches the login screen! I do have redirects back to the login screen in the event that the user clicks "cancel" or "register" on the "new user registration" page.
This is very strange. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause or how to track this down?
Thanks,
Reid

I'll see if I can put the app on apex.oracle.com. I disabled the redirects and all of the not null validations I had. It's still behaving the way it did.
In the meantime, I noticed this oddity. It seems like there is a mismatch between the URL page # and the actual page that is displayed. Here is what I mean. Here is the url:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230:::::
See the page should be p=103:8. This is app 103, page 8, right?
Well, that is the correct app and page. However, it displays app 103, page 101.
When I click on the "new user registration" button, the url changes to this:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230::NO:8::
And, I'm still on page 101, not page 8.
Like I said before, this was working like a champ earlier this week and I went to show my wife how I had it working and boom it stopped. LOL. Murphy's law...
Thanks again,

How do you add downloaded smileys to the emoticon page in the text message

Hi:
I just got a Blackberry Q5 and am still figuring out how to use it. I get how to access the smileys in the emoticon menu of the text message, but I downloaded some new smileys and was wondering if there's an easy way to load them up, instead of existing the text message, loading the downloaded smileys, copying and pasting them, and then returning to the menu. It seems like a lot of effort. Like, what's the point of downloading smiley's if it's this hard to use them.
Does anyone know how? Thanks.

You can set the destination of downloads in your browser's preferences. For example, in Safari, on the menubar, Safari > General tab > Save downloaded files to:
Direct them to a folder (like the downloads folder) and then put a shortcut on the dock.
