Add auto-corrections on pages for MacBook

How can i have my MacBook write uppercase i when i type lower case?

Here is my entry for promoting lowercase i to capital i within Pages v5. This is in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. You must have Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement enabled for this to work. The capital i has a trailing space.
Pages v5 does not have auto-capitalization of the first letter of sentences. If in addition, you want this capability, you will need the third-party (Devon Technologies) WordService collection of services. This is freely available from the OS X App Store. Search for WordService. It has a service item named, "Initial Caps of Sentences." Select a sentence, or multiple paragraphs. Pages > Services > Initial Caps of Sentences will capitalize the first letter of every sentence in the selected block of text.

    is there pages for macbook pro version 10.7.5 ?

    You need to either phone AppleCare and order replacement disks or buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store; the retail DVDs don't contain iLife. Once you've gotten a disk, insert it, restart the computer with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, install a fresh OS, and include the disk with it.

  • I'm having trouble with auto-correct in Pages

    I am having trouble with auto-correct spelling in Pages.  I have read a past discussion of this in which I believe the last comment was made in 2012.  (I have the latest Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2012 and it is totally updated.)  The problem is just with one word, as far as I can tell.  It seems that perhaps the older problem of contractions has been resolved except for one word: "hasn't".  Auto correct insists that it should be "hans't".  I follwed the suggestions offered in the previous discussion about using SYMBOL AND TEXT SUBSTITUTION to correct the word but it hasn't worked.  Do I just have to live with this?  Surely there is a way to fix this problem?  I really like using the auto-correction and would hate to have to stop using it just for one word.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    It should work if you have a Symbol and Text Substitution set for hans't → hasn't. Are you sure you have this substitution checked, or Symbol and Text Substitution checked overall?

  • How do I add footnotes/endnotes in Pages for iPad 2?

    Hi everyone. Like many people I was super excited to be able to use my iPad 2 as a word processor with the Pages app. I have a macbook black from 2007 and it is extremely heavy to carry around everyone. I'm a graduate student so mobility for me is key.  Anyway, so I am writing an academic paper write now in Pages for iOS but I can't figure out how to add footnotes/endnotes to cite my sources. I can't find anything online relating to this topic. Can you tell me how to do this? I certainly hope Pages has this capability because without something so fundamental, how can it be the least bit useful? Thanks so much!

    It is not built in, but you can at least create and edit footnotes (I do not use end notes, but from limited testing, it appears to work with endnotes as well but converts them to footnotes). It sounds complicated when you break it down into steps as I do below, but it really is easy and intuitive.
    FIRST: The underlying concept. If you have the latest Pages for iPad, then when it imports a Word document it imports footnotes (and endnotes) and you can edit them.
    With that in mind, here is how you can create footnotes on the iPad.
    #1 In Word create a one short sentence shell text with a short footnote, like "See the cat run /fn1" "fn/1 The cat was black").
    #2 Import that shell document into your iPad, say with email "open using Pages."
    #3 Save that shell document as your sour dough starter so to speak.
    #4 Now create your new Pages iPad document.
    #5 When you are ready to create your FIRST new footnote, copy and paste the shell sentence with shell footnote from your saved starter shell document into your new iPages document.
    #5. Edit the shell sentence and footnote to a real sentence and footnote in new document.
    #6 Thereafter, as you add new footnotes, either copy / paste one from new document or shell and edit. You will see they renumber properly, even when moved.

  • Turning off auto-correction in pages 5.0???

    Preferences used to have an "auto-correction" section where you could change the  "symbol and text substitution" settings but I cannot figure out how to do that now -- or if I even can -- and would really appreciate some help. Thanks! As a reference, here's what preferences used to look like (ignore the arrow, borrowed a screen grab from another thread):

    Fruhulda, thanks for the response. I see "Language and Region" in system preferences and within that, "Keyboard" and within that, "text" but no longer see a list similar to the screen grab I included earlier -- of substitutions. For example if I don't want (c) to automatically become ©, there's nowhere to un-tick that box like before.

  • How do I add video to a Pages for iOS document?

    I thought that with the latest updates to Pages that there would be 1:1 parity between the MacOS X and iOS versions of  Pages.  However, I am unable to figure out how to add video to Pages in iOS as I can easily do in Pages for MacOS X (just drag & drop).  What is the secret to including video into a Pages for iOS document? Or is this just not possible?  I don't see how audio can be added either.  It seems to be Photos only from the + icon.

    The video should be in your camera roll, tap the +, then the music note and choose your video.

  • Auto create profile page for users that register? Please help!

    Hi everyone,
    I am building a site along with other people and I am the main web designer. I need to know how to have my site automatically create a users profile page when the said user registers on the site. Something very similar to YouTube or MySpace. Example: If a user where to create an account with the username bob678 the site/code would a page called examplesite.com/userid/bob678 (like I said before very similar to YouTube). I cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere but I know it is possible. Any and all help is very appreciated!
    PS. I already know how to allow people to register, I just need it to create a page for them.

    Ok here it is. How to create the profile page automatic after registering. I'm assuming you have created a "register.php" page and a "login.php" page. Both pages have a relationship with your database tables using PHPMySQL as well. When you created the login.php page a session variable was created. You can find it on the login page only when viewing the page in code view. The session variable will be named "MM_Username"  this is case sensitive. Remember this variable.
    Step 1-
            Create a new blank.php page. and save it as myprofile.php
    Step 2-
            In the bindings menu under applications on the side click the + and choose "Recordset Query". Then stay in the Simple Mode and choose the database connection. Then choose the table containg the columns that you created for your register.php page. Keep the all radio button too. Then choose the database column you designated to be used for storing the username and proceed to:
                                                                                         Filter: "username"              =
                                                                                                   "Session Variable"    "MM_Username"
                                                                                                   "Sort"                       "None"
    Step 3-
           In the Server Behaviors menu click +, User Authentication- Restrict Access to Page. Set "If access denied, go to: login.php". Then click + again, User Authentication- Log Out User.
    Step 4- Insert a table on the page body. Then In the Bindings menu open the + sign of your created recordset. This will display all the columns in your database table. Place the cursur inside the page body table. Then highlight the "username" column from the Bindings menu and click the insert button. This will display the username. Repeat with all columns you wish to be displayed. Save this page.
    (Remeber to edit your login.php page by setting "If login succeeds, go to: myprofile.php)
    Step 5-  "Synchronize Sitewide".
    Step 6- Now test the function you just created by starting from the top:
    Register as a new user. Once you have submitted your user information go to your login page and login with your new username and password. And if login succeeds, you will go to: myprofile.php. Once the myprofile.php page loads, your username and all the columns you inserted will be displayed. Try registering a second user and see the automatic profile page create.
    The secrete in this process is the recordset query being:
                                                      Filter: "username column" = "SESSION VARIABLE" "MM_Username"
    Setting up th recordset to be filtered by username tells the page to only display the records of the username that is logged in. If you were to keep the recordset query filter to "None" then every user records will be displayed on the page creating like a directory/phone book page.
    To sum things up make sure to save the page as a .php first thing. Then create the recordset query. Then restrict access to the page. Then add the log out to the page. This must be done in that order before anything else.

  • Insane spelling correction in Pages for Lion: "is" - "si"

    Well, the new pages for Lion insists on correcting the word "is" to "si" every time I type it.
    This insane behavior ceases only when I uncheck Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling as You Type.
    When I go to Edit>Spelling..., enter the word "is" into the entry field and press "Guess", Pages returns a guess of "si".
    When I go to Pages>Preferences> Autocorrect, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for "is" or for "si".
    When I go to Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Text, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for either "is" or "si".
    Under Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Language, my choice is US English. Spanish is not among the choices.
    So I guess Pages for Lion somehow thinks that I am a Spanish speaker and is trying to help me out. Sheesh.
    Apple, this system (OS X LIon) and software (iWork) release is not up to your high usual standards!!!!!

  • Auto Refresh OBI Page for Current Day Only

    Hello Guru's
    I have a obiee page which needs to get refreshed every 30 seconds . I could able to do that using <META HTTP-EQUIV = "REFRESH" CONTENT = "30"> . But the triggy part is , auto refresh needs to be applied only for current day and not for any date range selected by user .
    Details :
    Prompts are defaulted to current date and time on the page, but user can also select date ranges as well . So the setting for auto refresh needs to apply only on current date (default prompt values) and not if the the user select data range .
    let me know if any of you guys have come across such .

    Check the below link and tweak it if needed.

  • How to add Chinese fonts to Pages for iPad

    I only have one Chinese font on Pages, can I add more?

    You can try.  See
    http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2014/01/app-to-add-fonts-to-ios-devices.html
    but I think there may be a size limit and Chinese fonts may be too big.  Let us know if it works for you.

  • Auto Loading web page for ebay login in safari

    HI,
    I wonder if anyone can help me.
    I am running a mid 2011 intel imac with Mountain Lion and Safari all updates installed.
    The problem I have is that ever since I took a holiday in June 2013 I'am now getting a web page auto loading in safari this seems to happen at randowm points either opening in a new tab or even open safari when it is closed. The web page is the ebay login page and has some detail of a user unkown to me in the URL.
    I have spoken with apple support and we have tried clearing the cache's, reseting safari, checking the library files and removing the plist but all to no avail. Ideally I would like to uninstall safari and reload but this does not appear to be an option.
    Also it would appear that I have a memory bleed when safari is running. I have 12Gb of memory that has always worked well but lately is goes down to only 39mb free or less. Quiting safari will return up to 7Gb of free memory.
    Has anyone come across a simular problems?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Is there a way to add special characters in Pages for iPad?

    Thanks for bring it to my attention.

  • Auto indent on pages for ipad

    I used to be able to do this until the recent update. When I am indented, and I use a number as a bullet point, pages used to automatically go to the next number even if I was indented. Now if I type 1. And then return, it just goes back to the far left.  I will now show you what I mean
    What I want to do and used to be able to do...
    History
         1.  Civil war history
         2.  World war 2
    What it does now....
    History
         1.  Civil war history
    World war 2
    There is no easy way to tab anymore so taking notes in class is a pain.  At least before this latest update I only had to tab once and it would auto tab and auto number. If I want to auto number anymore, it can't be indented at all.  It can only be all the way to the left margin.  PLEASE HELP I NEED TO TAKE EXTENSIVE NOTES IN CLASS AND IT TAKES FOREVER NOW!!!

    I cannot duplicate your problem in Pages on my iPad. When I start a line with a number and period (1.) type some text, then tap return, I'm presented with a new line indented to the same place as the first line and the next number in sequence is automatically inserted.
    But if I tap Return twice instead of going down another line the number is removed.
    Perhaps your formatting is off? I would suggest though that you first quit Pages like this:
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    Then reboot your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
