Applying the ruler to the whole document?
I am having trouble with the ruler in pages. I can manually adjust the rulers on each page but want to apply the same guidelines to the whole document?
I have gone to preferences > rulers and tried to figure out but I am at a loss?
Can any one help????
The Ruler applies to selected text. Always has in every software I have known.
If it didn't you wouldn't be able to make individual adjustments.
If you want it to apply to all the text in your document at this time:
click in your text, Menu > Edit > Select All
or
command a
and make your adjustments.

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?
Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document
I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
I have a large 200 page book. The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc. This will be a nightmare. Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.lisalip wrote:
john the link is broken
I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
The link is now fixed.
You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls. -
How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?
How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?
Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
Menu > Help > Pages User Guide
Download and read page 27 on creating and using Styles, which is done largely by example ie you make the text what you want then save it as a Style to be applied wherever you want in the document from the Styles Drawer.

How do I copy a few lines from a pdf document to a Word document?
I'm not looking to convert the whole document, just need to copy a few lines here and there.
ps. Wow, what a user UNFRIENDLY site this is!In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

How do you add the language of the dictionary in pages for the whole document?
How do you add the language of the dictionary in pages for the whole document. When I add the british language it does not stay ON for the whole document. It goes back to "none"???? I am using pages 09 version 4.1 (923).
This is a feature of Numbers. If you repost on the iWork forum you may get more information.

Title says it all. I go to attach file add the fild and the first page shows up in the body of the email. How do I get the whole document to show up?
You can't get the whole document to appear on your side.
When you send it, the entire document will be sent. Normally, clicking on it will open it in preview where you can see all pages. If you want to see it in this way, just cc: or bcc: yourself on the email when you send it. -
I am trying to create a simple form for people to print out and fill in. I want fields like 'Name' with a line extending from the word for people to write on. What should be the simplest of tasks has confounded me for HOURS. Inserting a line as a 'shape' or 'drawing with pen' just messes up the formatting of the whole document. I've used Pages 'Help' but it almost forced me to staple my eyelids to the carpet. Surely there is a SIMPLE way to do this. I even tried 'tricking' Pages by 'underlining' a row of spaces. It won't even allow you to do this because Pages is far more clever than a human.
My cat is looking at me with increasing consternation.I would use a right-aligned tab with an underline leader.

Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message
What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message. One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens. Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
Is there something I am not doing?
Thanks
BryanHi Gee,
We also tried this:
Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
Highlighted the document and right clicked.
In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

How do I replace font colors across the whole document?
So I know how to change a certain font across the whole document.
I can replace let's say, Times New Roman with Arial throughout the whole document.
However, what if I want to replace a font color?
For example, I want to change the black 0,0,0,0 with black 40,30,30,100 across the whole document, instead of searching one by one and replacing the existing color.
I'm using CS5 on PCAs Peter says, it is better to do with paragraph styles. The above shows where.
In general, you should be using p. styles with little or not local formatting (depends on use). And for local formatting that is repetitive, character styles should be used.
Take care, Mike -
I have adobe illustrator CS5. When I save a document as a pdf and open it again later to edit Adobe reader can't read the whole document because it only shows part of the document. It is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

Transfer them to your harddisk immediately.
External drives are not offiially supported and the source of errors of all kinds including complete loss of files.

I am trying to construct an invoice. How can I install a vertical line between two or more underlined lines to create a break. I have tried the insert, shapes and nothing works. If I try any of the functions the whole document shifts to the right and I loose some of the lines. Is there a work around, or is I work not able to do what I want?
Thanks
ArmandIt sounds as though you may have "Object Causes Wrap" activated for the Line Shape. This will push other content away.
See the Wrap Inspector.

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?
Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
Sub NumChars1()
MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
End Sub
Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
Sub NumChars2()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
End With
End Sub
The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
Sub NumChars3()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
End With
End Sub
Cheers

Printer rips through the whole document before it starts to print
Thank you everyone for the answers to my previous post. Another Postscript problem which we are now trying to solve,
is the following printer behaviour: getting our postscript datastream, printer first goes through the whole document,
ripping every page (or so it seems) and only then it starts printing the first page and further. Our datastreams are usually
large, tens thousandth of pages, so it takes very long before a printer starts to print. What could cause such a behaviour?
Something at the end of the file, which interpreter needs to take into account? Some special settings at prologue?
Thank you in advance for your help,
YulianaWhat you describe is not normal behaviour for PostScript implementations and is not something that is a feature of the PostScript language. The interpreter does not attempt to process the entire job prior to passing any of the rendered pages off to be imaged.
You give no idea as to what type or brand of PostScript printer is exhibiting this behaviour, but the behaviour is likely type and/or model and/or vendor-specific. Contact the technical support group for your printer or RIP vendor for specific answers to this question.
