Any way to resize the "text" toolbar on the right side of the Pages app?

I'm a pretty recent convert to Macs. I've been using a PC for a long time, so most of my experience with word processors is with Microsoft Word. I like that Word allows you to edit your files in a 'Print View' layout, which lets you see the entirety of the document. Unfortunately, Pages seems to not permit this view. Is there a way to diminish the size of the "text" toolbar (right side) in Pages so that the user can see a 'print view' of the document?
Thanks a lot.

Pages is permanently in "Print View", What You See Is What You Get.
The scale of the document is set by the percentage menu top left of the Toolbar on the window
The Format side panel is fixed in width.
Your problem really is that the screen on your Macbook Air is relavely small and the Format sidebar in Pages 5 is permanently large. You can hide the Format panel by clicking on the Paintbrush or Document icon, depending on which is already selected.
On my iMac 27" I have plenty of room to see a 150% view of a page with the Format panel showing, but obviously on your small screen this is not possible. You very likely would need to view the page at 75% or less.

  • Is there any way to access the pages templates that were there six months ago. The one I used for my recipes is not there.

    Is there any way to access the Pages app templetes that were there six months ago? The one I used for my recipes is no longer there.

    What was the name of the recipe template?
    Or was it one you created yourself.
    It helps when you tell us that you upgraded both your OS and Pages, which it appears you have done.
    Possibly even changing your Mac or iOS device. Which is it btw?
    Probably you have a new Pages which has only a fraction of the templates, because it has a fraction of the features.

    No, there isn't what you are looking for. Maybe someone else have a work around.
    Download the Pages User Guide by going to the Help menu in Pages. there you see what you can do.

    Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

    To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
    Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
    You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
    You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
    See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

  • Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

    is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
    We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
    Any ideas?

    I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

  • Is there any way to have the page title NOT be the name of the HTML file

    You might want a page title to be say "Digital Media Academy." You don't however really want the html file to be called "Digital%20Media%20Academy.html" Windows web browsers often have problem opening pages with spaces in the file name. On the other hand you don't really want the page title to be "DigitalMediaAcademy" because that looks kind of dumb. Any way around this.

    The page is already not included in the nav bar, but
    where do you set the page name to be different from
    the file name? How can I set the name of the page,
    such as the name of this page is "Apple - Support -
    Discussions - Post Message:Reply," to be different
    from the file name?
    I think I probably misunderstood your question. You want the html "title," which appears at the top of a browser, to be independent of the name of the html file, right? I don't think that is possible in this version without manually editing the html after publishing. iWeb uses the page name given in the inspector for both the navigation bar link and the file name, replacing spaces by %20 in the latter because web servers don't allow spaces in file names.

  • Any way to get the mail app to get updated message counts for other folders

    I've been wondering if there's a way to get the mail app to not only check if new mail exists in my main "inbox", but also all of the folders on my imap server? I can individually visit each folder I'm interested in and while it works, I have to guess what folders might have mail in them.. It would be great to have the phone check all folders (or perhaps a list of subscribed folders) for new mail on a regular basis.. Any ideas?

    I have opened a wrap-up thread related to the issue reported here and in many other threads -- "iPhone Mail does not poll IMAP subfolders for server-side processed e-mails": http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1355852

  • In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

    I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

    Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • Using setForwardURL, is there any way to open the page in a new window?

    I am using a submitButton which has NO Target Frame property.
    I am programmtically gathering parameters and forwarding to the next page using setForwardURL.
    This seems like it should be simple but combing through the threads on this, I am rather confused. Am I not able to use a submitButton and still accomplish this somehow?

    Thank you!
    But I don't know how to pass my parameters that way. Currently I am passing 2 formvalues, 1 value picked up from a field (MessageTextInput), and one txnvalue picked up from the pageContext.
    How can I pass these types of params using Destination URI? I can only find examples of passing params based on view object attributes using syntax like order={@OrderNum}
    Thanks again for your help...

  • Is there any way to change the font size of the text in the Finder Sidebar?

    This may sound like a bit of a dorky question but here goes nothing...
    I am rather near-sighted and in need of new glasses but I am stuck in a holding pattern until I can get a referral to see my eye doctor. Anyway... I have found myself using the Zoom features far more often and increasing the font size in the Finder for the Item Names & Info.
    The problem that I am facing now, is that the font size of the text in the sidebar is FAR SMALLER than the font size of the text of the actual file names & info.
    +*IS THERE ANY WAY TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE OF THE TEXT IN THE SIDEBAR??*+
    So far I have looked in:
    *The Finder Preferences
    *The Desktop Preference Pane
    *The Appearance Preference Pane
    *The Seeing Tab of the Universal Access Preference Pane
    And to add to my frustration I have also searched the Mac OS X Help AND all of the posts in this thread (back to 1/1/09) that had the word "sidebar" mentioned in them!!
    +*DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?? OR IS THIS ONE AREA THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE APPLE DIDN'T FORESEE THIS ISSUE??*+
    Usually, Apple is really very good about foreseeing any possible trouble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to the area of Accessibility for people w/ disabilities!!)
    I do hope that SOMEBODY can help me on this one!!
    Also, I noticed that the size of the text that is on the Toolbar is also the same ITSY BITSY font size as the text on the sidebar, but I am guessing that there is next to nothing that can be done about that!!
    Thanks a Million!!
