Addining additional page types or styles to the pages icon drop down list

in the tool bar - pages - i have one page of latintype of text as the only choice. How do I add other types of page layout or templates to this drop down list that only has the one page of weird text on it?
I am stuck. thanks.

Hello pbmb,
Pages is a document-centric editor. That means all you editings and saves will stored in the document. This is why Pages provides templates. It is like heaving a library of documents, sections and objects. So if you need something often, create a template of it and you will have it with two clicks at hand. Yes, it would be nice to have real customer created libraries of paragraph styles and objects or masks, directly at hand by one click like the Pages objects, etc. Maybe this will come in next versions when Pages will grow up more and more.
I can't imagine why the section templates (Pages names it pages, too) doesn't work for you the way I described in this thread. You wrote above you have saved it as a document. Have you opened exact this document and the saved creations were not there? I only want to solve this problem, so please write to us if a saved document template (menu: "File/Save as Template...") with such created section templates are not working fine.
I know it can be frustrated not to achieve the goals easily or not in the way we know right. Pages goes an other way and - despite little adversities - I find the workflow and handling very good. I am missing some features to name Pages a pro app, but I have done some pro designs with it. If you are interested in using Pages further more, I will write an in-depth tutorial about the topic "Section Templates".

How do I get a URL to display in the Awesome Bar drop down list? Some URL's appear in this drop down but I can't figure how they got there.

There is a drop down list from the Awesome Bar containing some of my most frequently visited sites. How can I add URL's to this list?

The location bar drop-down list shows items based on visited count (bonus points and frecency: frequency and recency) and if you have visited other URLs more often then those will replace other websites.

You can't customize this drop-down list and you would have to bookmark websites to have easier access.

How do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.

In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder. 
Name: Recently Visited 
Location: place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30 
You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

How do I restore an old Iphone 3gs backup if it does not appear in the "restore backup" drop-down list?

Hi
Last night I tried to install ios 6.1.2. The install failed. I tried again and this time it recommended restoring the phone - I agreed and it worked, but after the restore was completed, I could not get out of the set-up assistant screens on the phone. It kept saying either connect to Itunes, or connected to Itunes - there was no conclusion of the set-up process.
So again I chose to restore the phone - this time I got through the process and asked it to restore my last back up. It did so, but it turns out the back-up is empty. Looking at the time of the back-up, I think what happened is the phone synced while it was stuck in the set-up assistant, and the old backup with all my data was overwritten with a new empty back up.
If I use windows explorer I can see a back-up set from earlier in the evening that should contain all my data (6pm) but when I look in iTunes that backup set is not available for selection in the "restore back-up" drop down list. Perhaps its only a partially completed backup, but at 1.55gb it sure contains a lot of valuable data. How can I make iTunes see or use the 6pm backup set?

yes - sadly I think that's what happened. As the phone was connected, it was syncing and backing up automatically while I tried to complete the set-up process. So an empty back-up overwrote the full one. But the full back up is still there in the application data files - it must have done a back-up automatically before it restored the phone. So why can't I see it and use it in iTunes? Very frustrating!

How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
Now you can either
remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

How can I add more than five URLs to the address bar drop down list?

How many URLs can the Awesome Bar hold in the drop down list? I was showing five, but when I tried to add a sixth by cutting and pasting the URL in the address bar and clicking "Enter", it did not show up. Can the Awesome Bar hold more than five?

It is possible that you have an extension that sets this value to a lower setting than the current default of 12.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How to change the width of the auto complete drop down list?

Hi,
I implemented an autocomplete mechanism, using ICompletionSession and ICompletionSourceProvider. I have an issue with the size of the drop-down list opened when I use this autocomplete mechanism. The width of the autocomplete list remains the same, even
if the strings displayed change. This is apparent especially when I hit "backspace" on the already typed string, while the drop down list is opened: the deletion of the last character allows for more completion strings to be used, but since the drop
down width does not change, the longer strings appear cut.
Is there a way to force the drop down list to recalculate its width?

I don't think there's any way, even VS itself can't do that you know, and the interfaces don't have such kind of events or properties.

Including "All column name " in the dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi All,
I have following requirement :
1. Exclude the one of the column value from the drop-down list ( say exclude XYZ from client Name)
2. Add a new “All Clients” to the Column drop-down list and make that the default. This choice will be as if the user went in and selected all of the Clients on the drop-down list.
I am not able to achieve the second point of the requirement . Can anyone help me with this.
Edited by: Surabhi24 on Jul 12, 2012 11:52 AM

If i understand you right you are trying to change "All column values" to "All clients" and you can do that in

Restricting the values in Drop Down list for ESS application

Hello Experts,
We are trying to restrict the values in the drop down list box for payment method field for direct deposit iview.
Here Payment is the Zlsch field.
here we are trying to have only 3 vlaues in the drop down. Do I have to do it from java code or can this be restricted on the ECC side?
Plese let me know.
Thanks,
James.

James,
What you have to do is create a DropDown ByIndex element instead of by Key and create a context node PaymentMethodNode and a value attribute PaymentAttribute under it ....then write the following code in the wdDoInit() method as :
//Add whatever values you want in the DropDown
String[] priority_options= new String[]{"Payroll/Corp/Partner Check","Employee Payroll ACH(PPD)"};
 List ListOfPriorities = new ArrayList();
 for(int i=0;i<priority_options.length;i++)
 IPrivateDetailView.IPayment_MethodNodeElement pr= wdContext.createPayment_MethodNodeElement();
 pr.setPaymentAttribute(priority_options);
 ListOfPriorities.add(pr);
 wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().bind(ListOfPriorities);
 for(int e=0;e<wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().size();++e)
 wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().setSelected(e,e>=0 && e<=1);
and then write the following code in wdDoModifyView() method:
IWDDropDownByIndex di =(IWDDropDownByIndex)view.getElement("DropDownByIndex");
 di.bindTexts("Payment_MethodNode.PaymentAttribute");
then create an Action and bind it to the onselect property of the DropDown and write the following code in the onAction method :
if(wdContext.currentPayment_MethodNodeElement().getPaymentAttribute().equalsIgnoreCase("Payroll/Corp/Partner Check"))
 wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("C");
 else
 wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("P");
I am sure it will work..

How to use the concept of drop down list in Xcode

Please help to make an app that uses a dropdown list inside a tableview cell

You can use UIPickerView or Safari web page, where could be displayed a drop down list instead.

I can no longer open any doc attachments. This was never a problem before. Also the W for Word is not an option in the chooser application drop-down list.

At one point, all my Word icons turned to Microsoft orange icons. I resolved that issue by uninstalling Microsoft Office 2010 and not the starter. I have NEVER had a problem opening doc email attachments I have received. This is a new issue. I used to just double-click on the attachment icon and it opened. Now it gives me nothing. I can't seem to find Microsoft Word as a choice in the drop-down box either. I also tried selecting Microsoft virtual whatever it was, as was suggested in Google, but that did nothing either. I just want to go back to being able to double-click on my attachments and having them pop open. What went wrong in computerland?

Actually, I solved it myself by compacting my inbox. Yes, it was Thunderbird. All my docs can now be opened. Word starter came with my computer already installed. Never had any trouble in two years until recently. I can now pick Microsoft Word virtual handler and it opens it. I still don't know what happened to the Word icon in the drop down box. Maybe it was never there to begin with, because I NEVER had to pick anything to open an attachment before. I just double-clicked on it and it opened.

The microsoft on-screen keyboard doesn't work with firefox. I try to enter type and it jumps around the page. I can't select anything on drop down lists.

I tend to use the on-screen keyboard. For about two months I've been unable to type text in firefox. I can't use dropdown boxes. I have to text to notepad then copy and paste it. I realize this is hardly a critical issue but I've loved using firefox for years and am considering going to another browser if I can't resolve this.

'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Restart FF. If there is still a problem, check '''caret browsing''' <F7>.
It might have been turned on.

Opening Word document templates from the New Document drop down does not open Word

I have a document library with a number of Content Types attached to it. Each one has a different Word document attached. We have an intermittent problem where when you click to open one of these templates from the 'New Document' drop
down list that nothing happens. The workaround appears to be either open Word first or re-boot the computer. I think there is a problem with SharePoint not linking in with Word correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Hi J,
Can you please check in your internet explorer whether MS office Add ons enable or not.
If not enable that and restart your browser and try again.
Also try to repair MS Office if issue still persist.

How do I delete web site addresses that appear in the navigation window drop-down menu?

In Explorer you can quickly delete any web address in the navigation window drop-down list. Also, only addresses that I actually type into the navigation window appear in the drop-down. I like this system.
But in Firefox, I cannot discern the rules at work. Web addresses appear and disappear in the drop-down list seemingly at random, and no way to delete addresses.

Selecting "Never Remember History" will make you enter [[Private Browsing]] mode, so be careful with selecting that.
