"Breaking" the yellow box in Page Thumbnails?

I received a large, 26 page Pages document. I want to insert more pages between the current pages, but am unable to.
In the Page Thumbnails many of the pages are "locked" together in a yellow box. Not sure how to "break" it?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Phil

Question asked and responded many times !

The yellow box around the pages when using Word Processing

I am somewhat new to the Mac, work with "Pages" to do newsletters. The first time I chose to use the Word Processing. Next I tried Pages layout.
It was when clicked on "View thumbnails" in Word Processing newsletter that I noticed the yellow box all around the pages. If I tried to delete a page, they all went. Luckily there is an "undo delete" button. (o:
I have since read the difference between layout and Word Processing from one of the posts. Is there any way to delete the yellow box?

There is one yellow box for each Section of the document. When you delete a Thumbnail, you delete the entire Section, however many pages are in that section. In Page Layout, each Page is a Section, so it may be deleted without affecting other pages.
To delete one page out of a Section in a Word Processing document, the easiest way is to highlight all its content and hit the Delete key.

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form?

Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form? This box contains the item name or caption.

Hi,
Under Tools ... Options ... Workspace, there is an option "Display Object Name Tool Tips While Pointing".
Try clearing that.

Hiding the tool bar / showing page thumbnails by default

Hi there
Does anyone know how can the right side tool bar be hidden by default on Acrobat DC?
Likewise, how can the page thumbnails show up everytime a PDF is opened?
Many thanks
Gil

Following up on an earlier post...
I've tried a few alternative PDF products (which shall remain nameless). It is clear that Adobe creates really good, solid albeit sometimes annoying technology. In looking at reading capability, it is clear that Acrobat handles the more difficult situations effortlessly, and performance is quite good. Notwithstanding this, the majority of PDFs that I come across are quite mundane. An unsubstantiated guess is that most are created from basic MS Word documents.
The raison d'etre for the PDF was to maintain the sanctity of the print format when presented online. For the majority of documents (again unsubstantiated opinion), this is irrelevant. It is used the way it is because it is the easiest way to take a Word document and make it readable electronically.
If my guesses are correct, Adobe has really misread the main usage of Acrobat. Instead, the focus is continuing the development of Acrobat to keep it meaningful. Unfortunately, this direction is taking it away from its primary use case. Typically, product management is paid a lot of money to make bad judgements (being snarky) and this may be one of them. The product is better fulfilling uses cases other than just being a reader, the primary use case.
So, going back to looking at alternative products: what I've seen is that there are those that have some of the duality of Acrobat. What was done, however, was an acceptance of this duality: there was a way to switch the product between an Edit mode and a Reader mode. Something such as this might go a long way towards quieting people like us.
And, as a response to other comments in this thread...
One of the things that I do when designing a document for within Acrobat was signalling if I wanted the left pane to display. In many cases I did as this left pane would contain an outline of the information that is in my document. By manually creating a structure, I could facilitate my reader's access to the information. (I never found a use for thumbnails.)
It should, of course, be up to the reader if they want never to the left pane by default. However, as a document's designer, I want to have the ability to say how I want to be.

Whats the point of having page thumbnail view in Pages 5...

...when it has absolutely 0 functionality?!?!?!?
Can't copy/paste, can't select multiple pages, can't rearrange, can't insert...seriously...other than being able to delete and navigate, its been stripped of its most important functions.

I am trying to track down your error -1712 but am unable to reproduce it, nor find any references to it.
We are recommending using Pages '09 v4.3 for now.
Pages 5 is not just short of features it is also hazardous to use.
A number of users have reached the point where their Pages 5.1 documents will not open and any attempts to recover text form those documents only produces hexadecimal gibberish.

Why doesn't the text boxes in Pages for iPad show the arrows to link the Boxes together?

Hi. I am using Pages, which I love, on my iPad.
As a perfectionist, I would like all my textboxes to be linked so that if I move one I can move them all.
Any suggestions?
When I tap on the boxes I don't have the arrows appear like you would on a Mac.

Yes sorry about that Rachel. I don't have an iPad so can't explore for the iOS options.
There is a separate Pages for iOS forum where they may be able to give practical assistance.

How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

Hey guys!
I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
My current challenge is the following:
- I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
example:
the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
"Sweet" tattoo
How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>
Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

IWeb '09 Issue: Remove yellow box when hovering over hyperlinks

iWeb 3.0.2 issue:
I'm looking for a way to remove the yellow box that appears when you hover the cursor over a hyperlink as it shows the file name that you are linking to. Would prefer to show nothing when the cursor touches the hyperlink. Thanks.

The yellow box seems to be tooltip.
I found a javascript in this [website|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/457366/disabling-browser-tooltips-o n-links-and-abbrs] and I make some changes.
In a text editor made for code like [fraise|http://www.fraiseapp.com/index.php?lng=en], [textwrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler> or textmate
paste this code:
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
links._title = links.title;
links.onmouseover = function() {
this.title = '';
links.onmouseout = function() {
this.title = this._title;
save , name this file notooltips.js
Upload this file to your server (FTP or MobileMe) and get its URL.
iWeb : in a HTML snippet, paste this code
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
In this URL change url/of/your/file/named/notooltips.js

How do I get rid of this yellow box with my name/address that is stuck at top of my screen?

I have this annoying yellow box at the top of my screen. I am guessing my baby girl was typing on the computer and hit some combination because now I have this yellow box on the top of the screen with my name and address in it and I can't move it or make it disappear. Any ideas?
Also, how do I defragment my iMac?
Thanks,
Rob

Re the yellow box, have you tried restarting?
If you click on the box, what application name is displayed for the app menu (that's the first menu to the right of the Apple menu)?
Re defragmenting your Mac, such is usually not needed with OS X. OS X usually takes care of that itself, on the fly. What causes you to think it may be necessary to defragment the drive?

Pages thumbnail display question

A rather curious thing happens every once in a while when I open various Pages docs that are in progress.
On the View icon in the Toolbar I have "Page Thumbnails" checked on these documents. However, for no particular reason, these documents open with reduces size thumbnails and I have to manually expand the thumbnail pane until they're the size I desire. The documents are page layouts and generally contain a combination of text blocks, photographs and other images, and tables.
There doesn't seem to be a prefs option as this is a document-specific parameter. It's annoying as can be and I'd sure like to learn how to make the thumbnail panel remain the same width from one work session to the next.
Pages version 4.3 build 1048 on OSX 10.8.4.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Jerry,
This is one of those "Now why didn't I think of that?" simple yet effective tips. Since my work is generally periodical in nature (monthly reports, newsletters, etc) I have been saving the current month (2013_06 newsletter) as the next month's (2013_07 newsletter) as boilerplate, revising and adding as needed.
I'll start saving as a template and see how that goes.
Thanks for the suggestion.

How do you change the colour of the "colour boxes" in themes?

Creating a book in Aperture the various "Themes" offer you different layouts. When you are in a Theme - is there a way to change the colours of the background boxes (Not page colour) - I have searched everywhere to see how to do this and a simple thing like this seems like it is not possible. Yes you could make a photo of the correct colour you want and drag it in but surely there is a simple way of changing the colour of these theme boxes.
The theme I am using is Special Occasion and I want to darken the lightblue boxes behind the text.
Would appreciate anyone out there who could advise on this please, thank you in advance.

Richard,
there is no built-in option to change the color boxes. You can only change them by patching the Resorces in the Aperture application bundle, and that is risky.
The color of the background boxes is set in the property list (for the Extra Large Book):
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/Book Themes/Special Occasion/ExtraLarge/Graphics/BlueRect.plist
The current value is:
backgroundColor {224, 241, 238, 100}
To try what happens, when this value is changed, I edited it to {100, 200, 255, 100}
You will not really want to patch your Aperture application bundle
What you might try, would be to copy the "Special Occasion" subfolder of the Book Themes and to create your own custom theme from this and install it in your user library
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes/

Disable Page Thumbnail Default for Scans

When scanning in Acrobat 9 (Create PDF From Scanner), page thumbnails are always displayed when the scanned document opens in Acrobat right after the scan. In Document Properties > Initial View > Navigation Tabs is set as Page Only, so this is not a setting that is saved with the document. It appears to be a default action after a scan completes.
How do I change the default behavior so that after the scan, only the document shows (no page thumbnails) ?

Wow, this forum is helpful.

Yellow Box when hovering over links

Hi All,
I have read a few discussions surrounding the 'yellow box' that appears when hovering over links in safari. Last I read some time ago revealed this is an intergrated 'feature' of safari. Is this still the case?? Or have enough users complained to have this 'feature' squashed (fingers crossed.....)
Thanks

You may keep your fingers crossed. Hovering produces the yellow information box.
Ciao.

Yellow boxes for accessibilty

im doing an accessible site and i know that objects are
accessible by default. all my buttons were highlighted in yellow
when tabbing through...
then i opened my accessiblity panel to add labels and now the
yellow boxes are gone. i've deleted all the additions but still no
sign of the yellow boxes.
accessibilty is checked for everything, i've gone through the
whole site. nothing seems to be missing. is there some way i can
globally re-set the accessibility settings.
thanks for reading

Previous to now, I never wanted the yellow boxes either...but now I'm working on e-learning that must be 508 compliant, meaning it must work for people with disabilities, so I've discovered how important those yellow boxes are.
I figured it had something to do with the FocusManager but wasn't sure. I've set TabEnabled and TabIndexs but it still causes issues. I'm wondering if they must be set via code versus the accessibility panel. I do have some buttons set via code and while they appear to still be in the tabIndex, the yellow box doesn't work. There's 10 buttons and you can count the tabs as it goes thru but no yellow box.
I guess I'll just have to build my own textScroller instead of using the UIScroll. Another pain but I guess that's what it takes. Just another buggy thing about Flash CS4....just like how the tabIndex numbers do not show up in the authoring environment.
