Alternating gutter margins in Pages

Does anyone know how to set alternating gutters in the current version of Pages for Mac to allow alternate pages of my novel before converting the file to PDF for printing? I can't seem to find an easy way to do this.

Make sure you update the iWork installation to v4.3:

I am writing a book and need to have the margins alternating left and right pages, so that there is sufficient margin for the binding. I have tried different inside and outside margins, the same inside and outside margins, facing pages, changing the master, and I cannot get the margins to alternate at print time. The larger margin is always on the left. Can anyone please help me on this, as I have spent hours and lots of ink.

Set up as facing pages with a larger inside margin.

Assning a "position" (to an object) (e.g. in cm from margin of page)

Hello,
I have a pdf-file (which was created from a MS-word.doc).
On some pages, there is a word and a line (at the top of the page) which I want to copy to all the other pages (and later I want to change the wording slightly, so that there is a different word on each page). I know how to "copy" the object with Tools/Advanced Editing/TouchUpObject and from one page to another, but:
The PROBLEM: I want to have the words on exactly the same place(=position) on every page (e.g. in centimeters from top margin and left margin of the page). So my question: Can I somehow find out the "position" of the object (e.g. in centimeters from margins of page) and then assign this position to the other object(s). Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I don't think you can focus on static objects (static text, static images).
I think the down and dirty workaround is your best option. Maybe make the button very small (0.01in) and you can always place a static image (icon) over it to mask the button.

Zooming whenever I double-click on any margin of pages with Hand Tool or Selection Tool selected

I have used Acrobat and recently upgraded it to Acrobat XI in order to use it with my tablet PC.
But whenever I double-click with my digitizer pen, with Hand tool or Selection Tool selected, on any margin of pages, it zooms in. i.e. it automatically magnifies itself as if I did the same thing with magnifying tool. This happens even when I try to double-click on the textboxes to edit it!
I don't want to zoom it all the time!!!

Try switching off this setting: Edit - Preferences - General - Make hand
tool use mouse-wheel zooming.

How to set bottom margin on pages

how do I set bottom margins on pages document. The printer always cuts it off

That may just be part of your printer's non-printable area.
Most printers do not print right to the edge with a large margin at the bottom of the sheet.
To find out exactly where your printer prints, make a grey box to fill your entire page then print that, The white margins are non-printing.

Margin and page guides transferring over into my pdf.

I hope someone can help me with this as I have in a lot of years never had this problem.
I am running CS4 with Windows XP.
My problem is when I edit a indesign page and want to export it to a PDF the margins and page guides
(which up to now were always absent from the PDF) are now showing. Is there a setting in Indesign that
became active in some way and more importantly is there a way to turn it off.
Any help would surely be appreciated.
Thank You.
Terry

Here is a tip: apparently, you are using some custom export settings. Save them in a preset! If you do this and then accidentally check or uncheck some setting, you will see a [Modified] warning next to its name. Re-selecting your own preset will reset everything back to the way you wanted, and you don't have to go through each item to find what changed.

Is there an alternative software program to pages? I cannot use my Word label files because Pages removed the spacing.

I like LibreOffice:

but have not used it for labels.

Firefox 3 Beta 5: No Margin settings page

I don't see any Margins Settings Page in the binary I installed for Firefox 3 Beta 5. However, the Windows version has such a page.

neildarlow wrote:I think that is because margin settings are a function of the printer driver which you globally configure under System|Administration|Printing.
After starting to file a bug report on this, I found someone else complained about it, but noted the way to set Margins with this version of Firefox is
Page Setup
Paper Size
Manage Custom Sizes
Create a new Custom Size and then set margins there.
Very unintuitive.

Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF. The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648". However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing. Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes. I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional. I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin. I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel. Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None. I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top). However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it. I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space. When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None. I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward. It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly. Is there actually a way? Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets. Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are. In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog. That is not possible, of course.

Actually, I found a way. The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small. If I enter a big enough number, it sticks. It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
Thanks.

Unable to change margins in Pages 5.2

Hello - I am drafting a resume using one of the Pages templates. I would like to change the right margin so that there is more room for text (less white space on the right side), but am unable to do so. The ruler slide will move to make the margin WIDER, but not NARROWER, which is what I want. I have tried:
1. "unlocking" the document via the Arrange menu (not an option);
2. changing the document margins via the Inspector/Document menu - right margin is already set to zero, but the space on the actual document is a couple inches wide;
3. changing the column width via the Format/Layout menu - each time I try to do this, the width immediately reverts to what it was prior to my changing it.
This is maddening. As much as I love Mac, I feel Pages is not very user friendly, and that's coming from someone with and advanced education who is fairly computer literate. If possible, I would prefer not to have to make a whole new document. Help? Thanks.

PeterBreis0807- Sorry for the MUCH delayed reply. Family matters required me to relegate this to the back burner. I'm back in the resume game again and still have this issue. Below is the screen shot showing the wide right margin I'd like to change. Any thoughts? Thank you!

HP Laserjet Pro m276nw - Black toner streak/bleeding down margin of page

I have had my laserjet pro 200 Color MFP M276nw for 1.5 years and experiencing this for the first time. When I print, the left margin of the page shows black and messy toner. What should I do? For drafts it's ok, but for professional level product, it is not acceptable.
TIA

Hi @Treehugger8 ,
I see that you are getting black toner down the left side of the page. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided a document with the steps for calibrating and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
What were the results of the Print Quality Page?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

I changed my margins in page setup and now I cannot see page setup, a print preview, or print, what do I do?

I changed left and right margins to .5 thinking they were in inches and closed the page setup screen the next time I tried to print all I saw was a blank page or no page depending on zoom / shrink to fit ratio set. When I go to page setup all I get is a new window that is transparent in the text area and extends off the right side of the screen. I have to right click and select close to close it as I do not see the standard minimize, maximize, and close buttons. I do not want to reset defaults as I have changed many settings and do not remember all the settings I have changed. I do have an older copy of my firefox profile in a previous user profile of mine on this machine. Is there an easy way to reset the page setup settings?
What do I do?
PS. I am using Firefox 29 on a XP Pro machine slated for upgrade to windows 7 Pro.

Sorry I have been away from this system forr a while. when I turned it on this morning and launched Firefox it upgraded me to version 31.0.
Attached are three Png files, one is what happens if I try to print to do a print preview. If I try to print a web page it prints the same thing.
The other file is what comes up when I click on page setup. It opens a very wide window that is a copy of the web page that was there when page setup was clicked on.
The Third is what happens to the above page setup window when I drag the window to the left.

How does one mirror margins on Pages 5.5.2?

Earlier versions of Pages had a "Facing Pages" category in which to set margins as "inner" and "outer". This permitted margins on the bound side of the page to be different from those on the outer edge of the page. I am having difficulty finding something similar in this version.

That is because Pages 5.x lacks the feature, along with non contiguous select, bookmarks, mail merge, linked text boxes, adult word/page count, and another 90-plus features. The software is a toy, definitely not ready for prime time. Use Word: it just works.
