Automatic substitutions fractions in Pages 5

Hello all
Before Pages 5, fractions would automatically convert if you typed 1/2 or 3/4. However, this doesn't happen in the all new singing and dancing Pages 5.1 that I have and searching for it bears no answer.
Does anyone know why these automatic features have changed so much and where you can reinstate them. I have found the 'substitutions' dialogue box but you need to find the fraction to copy and paste. However in character view, fractions are missing!
Thanks for any ideas

To do this automatically it is really a two-step process. 
1. Go to Character Viewer (special characters) as described above.  Once you have selected digits you will have a choice of fractions to use.  I put the ones I use most frequently in my favorites in the Special Character window. 
2. To make this Automatic in Pages you need to then go to Edit > Substitutions and select Text Substitutions. Then go to Show Substitutions in the same window and select the text preferences button at the bottom left.  In this window you select the + at the bottom and insert, for example, 1/2 in the Replace column.   Then in the With column you select the appropriate fraction from your special character window and drag the substitution to the Replace column.  Do this for all fractions you wish to automatically replace.

    Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

    As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
    Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
    Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
    Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
    Change loop="false" to loop="true"
    Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
    Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

  • When visiting certain sites, if I click on a featured link, I get the message: "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically directing to another page", How do I disable this so I am able to get to the page I want?

    In this particular case, I was on a page that offered group discounts ("deals") that can be purchased for a limited time. To make the purchase, I needed to click onto the link with the name of the deal being offered. However, upon clicking on that link, I received the message from Firefox that it was preventing the page from automatically directing to another page i.e. the page that would have allowed me to make my purchase. Please answer quickly since the deal I want to purchase expires in three hours!

  • AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

    Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
    How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Keep hp 6700 in good shape: automatic print quality diagnostic page every week?

    Hi all,
    I've recently bought the HP Officejet 6700 Premium, and I'm concerned about keeping it in good condition, since I had to replace my previous canon printer because of a stuck printhead (the photo black one, I didn't used it for a long time).
    Since I don't print much (but I'm using the ADF scanner a lot), and other family members prints sporadically, most of the time in black and white, I would like to setup an the printer to automatically print a diagnostic page every week to make sure everything is alright.
    Using eprint, IFTTT and google calendar I could automatically send a file to print (I already set up the printer to wake up a few minutes before the calendar event) with black and color bars (someone suggest to print the google homepage since it has many colors but uses little ink).
    Is there any chance I can directly print the print quality diagnostic page (so I can fully diagnose a problem if it occurs)?
    Thanks for the attention
    Cheers from Italy!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey,
    To clarify for you and answer your new questions on the printers self maintenance.
    The maintenance cycle occurs randomly. It will occur after any power up, after print jobs(not every one) and any time it "think's" printhead health is poor. As mentioned above the printer to does have to be powered on for this to occur.
    You can if you'd like still print off the odd test page just to check, once a month would be adaquet.
    If you want to be saving power and are turning it off, then you would want it to be at least powering on and running the automated service that occurs weekly.
    I hope this clarifies everything for you. Thanks for your posts.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Dual automatic numbering in 1 page

    hello
    I need a way to add automatic numbering in a page, I know indesign can add this based on the page number, but I need to add 2 numberings in the same page.
    So let's say I want to have a page from 10 to 26, I want to have in page 1 the numbers 10,11, in page 2 the numbers 12,13 and so on.
    Is there a way to do this automatically and not by hand? I want to add a great number of pages which make it impossible to be done one by one.
    thanks

    I want to print invoice booklets.
    Traditionally I just make one page and then the printshop make a dual page layout and print them with an offset press. Before the offset deliver the paper it also do the numbering at both pages. That's all analog, so if you don't have the numbering module you have to use another machine to pass the papers again. So the numbering is the only variable on the print.
    This is the cheaper method around so far, but I want to find a way to do it with a digital printer because the cost is comparable for short runs.
    So I though the best way to do it is to make a big PDF with indesign with the page as master and automatic numbering and just generate as many pages as I need.
    But I want to be able to print a composition of 2-3 pages at each A4 page I print, so I can cut down on cost, so the automatic numbering is of no help since I need to have 3 variable numbers on each page of indesign.

  • How do I turn off the "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" dialogue ?

    I am a mac user. I tried to access my bank account, but firefox 3.6.8 prevents me by telling me: "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". This is NOT a dialogue which I can click a button. Instead, nothing happens when I type my bank's URL while a small message appears below the URL field bar. I do not have the OPTIONS under the Tools menu (like on Windows version) and my preferences does not give me any option to turn this thing off. Can any one HELP me as I cannot have access to my bank website?

  • When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set when the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?

    When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set after the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?.
    I'm not aware of anything I might have done, but it's annoying to want to use an icon on the 1st page, only to see all the icons on page 1 shift rapidly to the left
    and I can't find a way to shift back to page 1.
    Is there a way of getting all my Launchpad icons onto 1 page by adjusting their size?

    Thanks for that. I think the 2 little white dots were hidden by the white frame round the desktop picture on my screen
    As you can see from the pic, there is a broad white frame around the image.
