Border around page messing up my ruler

Hi, I'm trying to use the ruler for exact placement of fields on the screen so that they print in the exact location on the form. I can't because there is some kind of border around the page that impacts my ruler measurements. Is there a way tell the ruler to ignore the border or get the rid of the border so that 1" from the left is really 1" from the left when it prints out. Thanks.

Make sure you have defined your page the correct size (Format->Page). The border you see is determined by your page size.
Also make sure you have the 'snap-to-grid' measurement set as preferred (View->Grid)

Border around page...how?

is there a way to put a stroke/frame/border around a page/slide? I know I could do it with a shape, but I was looking for a simpler way.
thanks
bob

Unclear what you want to do, since it seems so simple to me.
There is no "put a frame around this slide" command. So yes, if you want to put that on just 1 slide, you have to actually make it, using any number of methods, like 1 or more shapes, various picture frames, colors, and opacities, or whatever.
If you want to put that frame on more than one slide, you can copy what you made and paste.
If you want to put that frame on all your slides, you can apply the frame to your master.

How can I get just a page border without having a border around every paragraph?

How can I get just a page border without having a border around every paragraph? I just want a border around the perimeter of the page.

Assuming you are using Pages 5, you haven't said:
1. Select multiple paragraphs > Text > Layout > Borders & Rules > choose a line > select a thickness > select the 4th Positon (all around) > Offset
or
2. Inseert a rectangular shape > Resize to suit > Format > Fill > No fill > Border > Line > select thickness/color > Arrange > Stay on Page > Text Wrap > None
If you want that on every page
Menu > Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master
Pages will not be able to use fonts that are on your PC (I suppose?) if it doesn't have them. Obviously.
Just as your PC will not be able to use the Mac's fonts.

How do I print multiple (4) photos on one page with a border around each?

How do I print multiple photos on one page with a border around each? I've gone the contact sheet route and adjusted the number of columns but there's only outer margins and very little white space between the photos down the middle of the page.

Ok, now I feel stupid! I always thought I was printing 6 x 4 but now I realise I can't have done!!
The photos that I used to print are approx. 5.2" x 4" (i.e. 4 fitted nicely on a page & I had to cut the boarder off).
I guess I just need to play with different sizes under the 'custom' option in order to get the biggest possible picture!
Thanks for the help

Is there anyway to add a border around a PDF page

Hello,
Is there anyway to add a 1pt black border around every Page in a Acrobat Document?
Thanks!
babs

Hi Babs,
you could try and just insert a .png with transparency with your border on.
You can save the one below and insert it into your PDF.
Hope this helps.

In pages/Pixelmator how do you put a white border around a piece of font, to make it stand out more. Please Help

The Benchwarmers logo, I would like to have a white border around the font to make it stand out. Help please

You would be better served to take a closer look at BeLight's free Art Text 2 Lite, or on YouTube, search for "Pixelmator text effects," or review the several Pixelmator tutorials on their site. Pages does not support the layered text effects necessary to create the Benchwarmers logo, but certainly can incorporate this image once completed through external means. Is the following image the one you have in mind:

Hello, I have a document and it has a page border around it.. I have been filling this area in such

Hello, I have a document and it has a page border around it.. I have been filling this area in such as a photograph that goes over two pages. I wanted to know if the items that go into the border are printable, or will there be a white border around it? Thank you in advance

Depends entirely on the device youuse to print and the size of the sheet.

How can I put a colored border around the whole page?

I just want to know how to pur a colored border around the whole page?

Hi Rachel,
Here's an example. Instructions follow the image:
Start with a new, Blank word processing document.
Insert a rectangle shape (the darker green is the default colour)
Change the colour to your desired border colour, using the Fill Color well in the format bar.
Set the Stroke to none, using the first popup menu on the Format bar. (I missed this step in the example, leaving the black line seen at the rigth edge of the pages.)
Drag the handles to resize to shape to cover the whole page.
Go to the View menu and choose Show Layout to see thae area that text will occupy.
Insert a second rectangle shape on the page.
Set its Fill colour to whatever bckground colour you want in the text area,
Set the Stroke to none.
Resize the second shape to fit just outside the text area indicated on the Layout.
Select both shapes, then go Arrange > Group.
Go Arrange > Move Object to Background.
Go Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
If either of:
Go Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable
Go Format > Advanced > Make Maste Objects Selectable
have checkmarks beside them,
Select that item to uncheck it.
The frame will now appear on every page in the section.
Regards,
Barry

How can I put a border around my page, or around text?

I rarely use Pages. Only when Textedit won't do something.
I want a frame (or box or border or whatever you want to call it) around my page. I haven't been able to figure it out from the Help. I found something about a "text box" but that seems to require creating the box first.
Thanks a lot!
Also, it seems that you don't have any control over where a text box is when you create it. There must be something I'm missing here.

Hi:
You don't say whether you've got Pages 1 or Pages 2.
The techniques are a little bit different. But in either one, you might find it easier to follow this to begin by choosing "View / Show Layout from the menu.
In Pages 1, you create a text box from the insert menu, choosing insert / text.
In Pages 2, you can simply click on the T icon in the toolbar. Use View / Customise Toolbar if it's not there, and put it there.
The text box will show on your page. Where it is doesn't matter: you can size and move it wherever you want - including outside the layout margins of your page. Just be aware that what you can print may depend on your printer. Some (mostly lasers nowadays) won't print to the edge of the page.
To size and move your text box, you click on the margin outside it and then select / all (Command / a) to put handles on it. If this doesn't let you move it, or it springs back once you have, then go to the Arrange menu and send it back. This is because when forward it can be confined by other things on the page - even provision for a header or footer in the blank template, for example: so you might not necessarily see what's stopping it being moved.
But Pages is a hands on program. It's always harder to describe what you do than it is to do it. Play around with it; get the hang of it. OK, so now you've got your text box. Now bring up an Inspector box, and choose the Object Inspector: the one with the square and the circle. That's where you put your borders in. Choose the line style, the colour, and point size you want, and there you are. You can do this with other text already entered: the box will hide it if the box is at the front, but if it's sent back text or other objects there when you started the box will show (and print) through it.
You can border your page with shapes in much the same way, but a text box is maybe the simplest. And you can also overlay text boxes or other objects if you want multiple borders, special effects, or when you really get into it, line and border fonts you can get from 3rd party suppliers. A freeware example is "Borders" and you can search for it in Mac OsX downloads.
Some printers will also allow you to surround your page with a border. If so, you'll find it simpler, but the border will go where the printer wants, and you'll only be able to set margins, which it will follow.
Here's a tip: if you want objects you work with centred on the page sometimes, you can choose in Pages preferences to have guidelines originate from the centre of your object as you move it across the centre of your page. When you get two of them, your object is centred. But be careful if you've set up for facing pages with the margins different: there's one centre for a left page, and another for the right one.
Too hard? Not if you use the program. You'll find out what's there, and use it easily. But Pages is not a toy, and it's not a mere text editor. Don't waste your money by letting it rot. Learn it, and you'll be astonished at what it can do.
You can also do borders with other objects, like shapes, and the principles are much the same. Choose what best suits your project, once you know what's there. But Text Edit? You've got to be joking. It's like the old IBM/DOS one with fonts thrown in. Better learn Pages before it bores you to death!
Cheers.

Template problem, outside border appearing around page, but?

I am creating a new site, and I have a border around my page on the template, but when I create a new page based on the template it doesn't include the footer?
The homepage is OK, http://domain3169704.sites.streamlinedns.co.uk/test/index.html but the others are not?

http://domain3169704.sites.streamlinedns.co.uk/test/general_knowledge_crosswords.html
Where is it going wrong?
Batch108

Hi Murray
Thanks for the feedback.
The code that you refer to is a comment, I have moved my footer code to before my closing <div> tag for the page, all is OK now and validates.
On my page http://domain3169704.sites.streamlinedns.co.uk/test/general_knowledge_crosswords.html
this has some javascript on the page, is this the reason why it doesn't validate? Is there any way around this issue?
thanks

How do you put a border around a panel in muse when you have set up for a 3 panel page

How do you put a border around a panel when you are using the 3 panel layout in muse

Put each 'panel' [column] inside it's own container then do what you wish with the design of said container - borders/strokes, rounded corners, glow, shadow, angle, etc.

Can't get rid of white border around image

http://www.gunnar.ca/laminatepage2.htm
I created a rounded corner in photoshop for my table. I
created a cell in the bottom left corner of the table and placed
the gif. There is a thin whit border around the outer edge of the
gif, so it doesn't look genuinely rounded. Can anyone tell me how
to get rid of that so it looks like the table is actually rounded?
Thank you!

Because the table containing the GIF has a border. In your
styleA.css
stylesheet, the rule:
.border {
border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
adds a border to the table. Delete the rule. Of course - that
may affect
other things that use the .border class. Or - delete the
class from the
table tag.
Several problems with the page:
styles.css cannot be found
sideNavStyles.css cannot be found
34 vaildation errors:

Why a border around table?

Can anyone tell me why there is a border around the table in the center of this page? http://jeannettedutton.com/draft/contact.html There are no borders defigned in the style sheet.
Thanks!
Jeannette

Why are they not working?
table {
border: none;
border-color: #FFF;
td tr {
border: none;
border-color: #FFF;
Invalid HTML in the CSS.
"td tr" means the rule applies whenever a <tr> tag is found inside a <td> tag.
That's invalid HTML so the rule will never apply.
EITHER
Swap the tags so the HTML is valid
tr td {
border: none;
border-color: #FFF;
OR
Add a comma between them so the rule applies to both tags individually (I would also swap the tags as well)
tr, td {
border: none;
border-color: #FFF;

Border around a picture tha hav a link

When i put a link to a picture, I see a border around the picture when I open the page in IE, but not in Crome. Is it possible to not see the border in IE?
Knut Erik

Sure - use this CSS rule:
a img { border:none; }

Border around link image

I placed an image, then linked it. Now I have a bright blue
box around it. Any ideas on why it is doing this?

Use CSS with this rule -
a img { border:none; }
