Alignment Guides In Pages 5

What happened to Alignment Guides? #APPLE are you being serious?!
The new Pages 5 is a joke.

Ah, gotcha. Alignment guides that show up when you are on, near or around an object.
But what about dragging out guides from the Rulers both vertical and horizontal?
Is that possible? I think you used to be able to hit 'W' and they would show. Thanks for your help!

Where are the alignment guides in Pages 5?

In the old version of Pages I could drag down or across from the ruler and would have an alignment guide. Where is that in Pages 5?

It looks like Apple took every feature that could not be supported in Safari out of Pages for mac.
I recommend switching to http://www.adobe.com/products/incopy.html
It turns out "free" means "worthless" to Apple.

Method to lock alignment guides (pages 5.5)

Is there a method to lock "alignment guides" in Pages? I seem to be constantly grabbing them accidentally. Probably just moving too fast. But was hoping there would be a method to lock them in position once they are set-up.
Thank-you, John L.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening the wrong one.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, iOS 7 Pages, Pages for iCloud beta or iCloud files.
Pages 5 only runs on Mavericks and can not open Pages '08 or earlier files at all and alters/damages Pages '09 files, which once saved can not be opened by anything other than Pages 5.
Pages 5 files are in an odd compressed bundle, impossible to parse, which won't transfer via non-Apple servers. DropBox may have patched theirs, I haven't checked lately.
All Pages files, no matter what version or compatibility, have the same file extension: .pages.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages and many of the rest are buggy. They have confused their users and apparently themselves with the installations, upgrades and cross-transfers of files. Effectively Pages 5 files are only compatible with themselves in a very narrow range of hardware and software.
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&mforum=iworktipsn trick
We are recommending users "upgrade" back to Pages '09 and trash/archive Pages 5 after Exporting their Pages 5 files back to Pages '09 or Word .docx files.
You should give Apple and other users feedback by rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store.

How to repeat alignment guides on every page?

In my Pages document I have set a few alignment guides. I would like to repeat those on every page, without adding them manually. Just like a master object, I would like to add the guides to the 'masterpage'.

They are part of any captured Master Page just as anything else on that page is.
If you don't know how to capture Master Pages:

Anyone know how to remove a stubborn alignment guide

I'm working in a Page Layout document. There is an alignment guide on the 2nd page. I cannot get rid of it! I cannot move it. I can't "select" it. I can delete the page and insert another page, from the Insert Menu, but it shows up again. It must have been there when I captured the page.
Is there a keyboard trick or menu item somewhere?
I can create a new guide, move it around, and move it off the page. But, this one guide stays and it gets in my way.
Any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks a bunch!

That's kind of what I ended up doing.
I didn't want to create a totally fresh page, because there were things on the first page I wanted to be on each page and didn't want to recreate them over and over.
What I did was open a brand new PL document and then I selected all the things on the first page that I wanted and pasted it into the new document. Then I chose to Manage the Pages.
The alignment guide was then gone. I don't know why I couldn't select this one! It hasn't repeated.
thanks

View enable and disable dynamically in Guided activity page

Hi Team,
I have created a GP and it contains 2 views inside a Guided activity page.
Here the issue is I need to show both the views but I should be able to disable any one of the view dynamically.
Note:
As I said earlier it should not disappear. It should just be disabled.
I have tried using do config determination with different configurations but it is making the views disappear.
Especially the first view...!
Please help.
Thanks,
Mahesh Pusala

Hello Mahesh,
You can check below methods in _IMPL class of the over view page.
DETACH_STATIC_OVW_VIEWS: to hide any view
REATTACH_STATIC_OVW_VIEWS : to display the view
for hiding the view delete the view entry from the internal table " rt_return" in the "DETACH_STATIC_OVW_VIEWS" method.
to show a view add the view name including component name to the "rt_return" table in "REATTACH_STATIC_OVW_VIEWS" method.
hope this helps you.

Hi Abap Gurus',
In ALV's i want to align TOP-OF-PAGE in center.
Which contains some TEXT.
Can you please help me out.
Points will be Given.
Many thanks
Anil Roy.

hi anil
The header line is always left-justified .
We basically have three options for formatting :
S , A and H.
every line in Alv top-of-page is of 60 char length(slis_listheader-info).so i think the only option we have is to add required spaces to the left and display the required string

Alignment guides

I have smart guides turned on in CS5 and am moving an object around another object and see the alignment guides that come out horizontally, though I am not sure what they indicate? I get a horizontal line when one shape is next to another, is this simply indicating the point that I am dragging it where the two shapes are lines up on the same y access? What about shapes of different sizes, do these come out when lining up objects are lined up at their center points in the shapes?
Thanks.

Stan,
At least in 10 it works this way:
When you click somewhere and drag, you will get indications based upon the cursor position, relative to:
1) The original spot you click, with lines in the directions chosen in the Edit>Preferences>Smart Guides & Slices (normally every 45 degrees, including horizontal and vertical);
2) Whatever your cursor go over, including paths and centres.
So to align one shape with another, you may choose the most suitable spot on the former and drag until you get a hit for the other and take it from there. Just a few instances:
If you wish to abut the sides with bottom alignment, you may Click the relevant corner of the former and ClickDrag it until it says Corner for the latter.
If you wish to just align the bottoms at an arbitrary distance, you may Click somewhere along the bottom of the former and Drag it until it says Path (or Intersect) for the latter, let go, and ClickDrag sideways as you wish as long as it says On.

Aligning Guides Glitch With "Use Preview Bounds" Checked

I recently noticed in the Preferences that there is a check box option for "Use Preview Bounds" in Illustrator.
When checked, effects such as strokes and all will be clickable and transform sizes will be based on the "preview" bounds of an object.
However convenient, the option poses a problem for people who like to align guides to their artboards or even distribute them.
If you try and align guides to your artboards using the "Align" panel, weird things occur and it does not do so.
If you try and distribute multiple guides using the "Align" panel, the guides don't do anything.
This is something that should be addressed and fixed in future versions of Adobe Illustrator.

In case you're going to do an official bug report, you might want to mention that this bug has been there for at least one decade …

[Solved]Oops, I accidentally deleted the "Beginner's Guide" wiki page.

My apologies, I am trying to fix my mistake right now, but if someone could help me out, the sooner the better. I accidentally deleted the Beginner's Guide wiki page, trying to add my own edit. Will post back when I get it back to the last revision.

It seems like everybody and their hot sister heard of this Beranger person except me
Update: can't say I checked any of his older posts but I guess I've seen part of his 'dumping linux' blog post -- most likely the one that 'angried' people and said sisters. I can only ask myself: what the big deal is? Who actually cares? Personally I never understood blogs nor the need to have them .. but it was my opinion that these unfortunate inventions were supposed to be destined for your friends (+sisters) to read. So I can't understand this: why does anybody else in the world -- care -- about what that guy uses/doesn't use? What makes him so important / such a(n) hero.

Alignment Guides NOT working

I was able to create alignment guides two weeks ago. Now, using the same step-by-step instructions provided by Apple, the alignment guides will not appear. It's very strange.
Anyone have experience with this glitch in the past?
Again, I followed the exact step-by-step instructions Apple tells us to follow to get them, properly. And, those same steps were successful two weeks ago. Was there an unadvertised update that pushed through without notification or something?

wp,
Since there is no need for guides unless you have some content that can make use of the guides, the won't be available. As Peter suggests, you'll need to add an object. If you have an object in your document and still can't add guides, it may be that your object isn't selected. You need to have at least one object selected in order to create a guide. Of course if you have just inserted an object, it will already be selected.

Turn off alignment guides in 1 dimension?

I use the alignment guides to neatly and quickly align objects with each other on the slide, but oftentimes when lots of objects accumulate closely on the slide, it seems like every new object wants to align with everything else and it can be a big mess. Using the keyboard shortcut Command-drag temporarily turns off the alignment guides, but then it hard to precisely align objects.
My question: Is there a way to only turn off 1 dimension of the alignment guides in order to, for instance, line up a set of objects on the x-axis without triggering the y-axis alignment guides? I'm using Keynote '09 5.0.3.
Thanks!

is there a way of switching it off so when i double click on a region it opens the full piano roll editor window instead of the all in 1 veiw
I agree, this should be an option.

Alignment guides in logic 8 (like the ones of GarageBand)

Hi! I know that this topic has already appeared here but it was archived and no answer was sent!
I was a GarageBand user and I'm really stuck with using Logic Express 8 because I can't find the exact equivalent of the great "alignment guides"… I can't bear spending hours to align regions in Logic while it was so easy in GarageBand.
Does anybody know please?

Yes you may be right!
In GarageBand "Alignment Guides" allow you to easily snap a region to another region (its beginning or its end) when you move it.
In Logic I only manage to snap regions to the grid which depends on the tempo but I mainly record guitar audio tracks and their length never match with that grid.
In GarageBand I don't use this grid thanks to "Alignment Guides".
I found some solutions but "Alignment Guides" is GarageBand are really better for what I want to do :
To snap the beginning of a region to the end of another region on the same track I use "Shuffle R" in the "Drag" menu when I move the region.
To snap the beginning of a region to the beginning of another region which is on a different track I "Set Locators" to the first region, then I push Return on the keyboard to make the Playhead go to the Left Locator, then I select the second region and finaly control-click on it to select "Move to Playhead Position".
To snap the begnining of a region to the end of another region on a different track I "Set Locators" to the first region, then I control-click the created Cycle to "Move Locators Forward by Cycle Length", then I select the other track, push Return on the keyboard to make the Playhead go to the Left Locator and finaly control-click on the second region to snap so as to select "Move to Playhead Position".
In the help of GarageBand :
Using alignment guides
You can use alignment guides to show when the edges of a region you are moving align with the edges of other regions. Alignment guides can also show when control points you are moving align with other items in the timeline. You can turn alignment guides on or off.
As you move the region or other item, yellow alignment guides briefly appear as its edges are aligned with the edges of other objects in the timeline.
Turning on alignment guides also turns on snapping, if it is off. When the item you are moving is close to an alignment guide, it will “snap” to the alignment guide.

Alignment guides doesn't work properly in Pages and Tables

Drag out a horizontal and vertical guide and align the center of a square to them. When you zoom in to 400%, you can see, that the object doesn't align properly. The guides should divide the square in to 4 equal sized small squares. But they don't!!!

Not sure if this is the same issue as listed above, but I've had continuing issues with dragging currently playing songs into playlists. It shifts the Spotify window to the lower part of my screen. Always. In order for this NOT to happen, I have to click on the song title (currently playing) - and then click and drag it to my playlist. It's almost like Spotify thinks I want to drag and drop the song to my desktop. It's really really really annoying. Another issue I've been having is when I drag the song, the whole Spotify window freezes momentarily (sometimes longer). What's going on? There are regular updates yet neither of these issues have been addressed. Platform: Mac OSX / Yosemite / Macbook Retina Pro Current Spotify version: 1.0.11.134.ga37df67b Please let me know if anyone else shares this problem and/or knows a solution.If you need additional user info, please advise.
