Can a footnote be spread over two pages

I dislike having footnotes always keeping together in a block, and shifting to the page following the footnote reference marker in the text. (And it is very problematic to fix this for each individual case especially over a book of 900 pages.) Is there any way of allowing a footnote in FM10 to break over two pages, as in standard wordprocessing packages like Word and Wordperfect?

Not the answer you want, but it’s a categorical “no”.
You might manage a work-around using a separate text-flow and cross-references, but the built-in footnote function doesn’t allow footnotes to be split.

How to divide footnotes over two pages?

Im typesetting a book with hundreds of (sometimes long) footnotes. I want a rule above the first footnote of the page. I also want footnotes to divide over two pages, if necessary. I had no problems with this in CS4 (but maybe the circumstances were different). Now I'm using CS5.
Problem one: when there are more footnote references in the same paragraph at the bottom of the page, all the footnotes go to the next page, even when there is enough space for at least part of the first footnote. I have a workaround for it (only leave the first footnote reference in that paragraph, move the other references to somewhere on the next page, setting the text color to none, and put fake references on the original positions), but that's not ideal. Am I overlooking something?
Problem two: I set the rule dividing body text and footnotes to 0,3 pt an 40 pt length. With a footnote split over two pages, this goes well for the first page, but on the second page there now is a thick, much longer line (the system standard rule for footnotes?). This problem didn't occur in CS4. Anyone knows whether this will be fixed? Suggestions for a workaround? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your answer.
First problem: I checked this, there is no difference when I uncheck the Keep Lines Together option. As for the Keep with Next option, I couldn't even imagine what would happen with 700 footnotes... Anyway, using the trick I mentioned solves the problem (the first footnote in the paragraph splits correctly over two pages).
Second problem: Strange - I have a Dutch language version and I can't find anything that resembles what you mention (see the image). As you see, there is a dropdown for the usual First baseline options and one for Line above (Lijn boven). In the latter you can only choose between "only a line above the first footnote" (my choice) or "above all footnotes (vervolgvoetnoten)".
Is this different from the English dialog box?

Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
Thanks

brown,
You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

Large Cells Spread Over Different Pages

How do I have large cells spread over a few pages, rather than try to fit onto its own page?
Everytime I create a large cell it pushes itself to the next page, so that the smaller cells before it are left on the previous page (which now is only a quarter full now)?
Thanks.

Pages can't split a large/tall cell between pages. Do not have that much text in one cell. Divide the text over many cells. Tables in Pages can only split between rows.

Trying to expand form over two pages

Hi,
I'm trying to finish up a Purchase Order form that I've been working on sporadically for the last couple months... (which probably isn't helping me much because I'm forgetting what I've done and haven't done.)
Right now the form is only one page but we need it to be able to expand on to two pages if necessary. I believe I have it saved as a dynamic form. (I'm going to try to figure out how to attach the file so you can see what I've been up to.)
I want the table to be able to expand... (you'll see an add item button - but I've never been able to get it to work.) I've been lurking these forums and trying to copy samples... but with no success. The detail cells are set up that I can get multiple lines so that works.
I think I've got the form to work that as the cells expand everything flows down the page properly... the problem is that the subsequent information just dissapears rather than go onto another page. I can't figure out how to fix that for the life of me. If anyone can help... it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You would need to also select "allow page breaks within content" for each subform that you want to allow to break across pages, i.e. your table subform and any other expanding subforms unless of course you have a section that has to stay together. You nearly had it from the start, just missing a couple checkboxes on the subforms.

Can I build a test over several pages, and give instant pass/fail feedback.

I want to build a test over several pages. I would like to have buttons where you click on the answer, and at the end of the test show pass/fail and answers to failed questions. I also want to show the percentage to the test answers, such as 76% out of 100%. I would like to adjust the percentages depending on the amount of answers per questions. Let's say there are 7 questions for the test, a passing score would be 71%, if there are 5 questions, a passing score would be 80% and so forth.
I am sure there are many questions regarding this, feel free to ask any and I will answer as much as possible.
I have Keynote 09, Numbers 09 and Pages 09, I would prefer to work with Keynote and hopefully use the other two as needed.

Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

How can i stretch a window over two displays?

Hi - how can i stretch a window to display over two screens?
I have had this working in the past but now have a new Mac and need to set it up again. I have a second display but when I stretch a window over the two displays half of it fades out.

Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces" in "Mission Control" system preference, logout, then login.

How do I split a table over two pages in Pages?

Hi
I'm trying to split a table in Pages so that the text in the two adjacent rows will fall on two separate pages but I cannot find a way to do this. This was something that is easy to do if using MS Word so I can't believe it would be a feature missing from Pages?
The document I'm working with is my resume and I had my jobs nicely formatted in a long table so it was easy to work with (job title, dates, achievements etc. in different cells). Since updating to Yosemite and Pages 5.5 I've noticed that I now have my career summary and 'Professional Experience' title on the first page but the table with all my job information is now starting on the second page - leaving just a lot of blank space on the first page. One of the jobs on the second page now also splits across pages 2 and 3. I can see that it is trying to keep everything in the table together and that what I need to do is just split the table at a certain point so that I can put the first part of the table back onto page 1 and the second part of it on page 2 - but it won't give me any option to do this.
Any ideas?

Although this thread is several months old, I felt compelled to reply as I have just encountered this gaping hole in Pages functionality. Jerrold Green 1 is incorrect in asserting that the OP's problem is that Pages won't split a cell across pages. The OP clearly indicates that Pages is not moving rows that won't fit on the first page of the table, but rather it moves the whole table to the next page.
So for example, if I have a paragraph of text at the top of page 1, and then insert a table under this paragraph that contains more rows than will fit on the remainder of the page, rather than the rows that won't fit being moved to page 2, Pages moves the entire table to page 2 leaving a big blank space on page 1. But bizarrely if the table contains more rows than will fit on one whole page, then it will move the overflow rows onto the third page, making you wonder why it didn't just do this on page 1.
This is with the table arrangement set to Move with Text. If I set it to Stay on Page, the end of the table just flows over the footer and off the page into oblivion. If I set Text Wrap to None, it just plonks the table right on top of the other text. So it gives you the option to do something silly, but not the most sensible option.
If I am missing something, then can someone please correct me. Without this basic functionality Pages cannot be considered a professional Word Processor. I'll unfortunately have to go back to MS Word.

Form spread over several pages. How?

I have a large table that I would like to use buttons to navigate to subsets of fields. Here is a link to a sample app.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=29570
When I click the edit or add create new item button, it takes me to the form with only a sub set of the fields shown as I want.
But if i make a change and use the buttons to naviagate from General, to Home, to Work - it looses the changes I made.
How can I accomplish this functionality.
I am not savy on Apex, so please try explaining with details or a sample app working would be great.
Thanks for your help

Two things
1) As the two posts above hint at, you need your buttons to submit (such that the values of your page items are kept in session state.) There's a big difference between a redirect and a submit and I'd guess that you are using the former.
2) You also need to check that when navigating back to your page to you aren't overwriting the values in session state through the use of an automated row fetch or PL/SQL process. Take a look at the source option of your page items, checking that you aren't refreshing your items state every time.

I can only distribute the video over two slides??

Hello,
I am trying to insert a video (synchronized), and distribute it over six slides. Unfortuanately, it will only distribute it over 2. I noticed, however, that I can add blank slides behind the first video slide, Captivate will distribute the video across the blank slides. If I took this route, though, I would have to copy and paste every thing from my first "video" slides to the others... Can't I distribute a video over slides that have already been built?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Hi, Ryan. That's got to be totally frustrating. Have you updated to Captivate 8? I hadn't done much with the synchronized video in Cap 7: just too many minor issues for me. However, I've been working with synchronized video in Cap 8, including adding intermediary content slides. It's been working very well for me.
Good luck to you!

How can I print only one or two pages, not the whole article?

I just want to print one page not the whole article. There is no provision for what pages to print.

I don't know where they are in Word but the print dialog is standard throughout OSX and this seems logical enough.
The only problem is the Paper Handling is hidden under Layout. But sort of makes sense.

Can I do Home Sharing over two diffident Wi-Fi networks?

I have home sharing set up on my computer, but can I play music from my computer on my laptop when I'm in somebody else's Wi-Fi?

Your computers, iPod Touch, iPad, or iPhone must be connected to the same wi-fi network.

Placing an object/photo over gutter in two page layout in Pages???

So here's my issue. I'm new to pages and need all the help I can get. I have a two page layout and I'm trying to place a large photo across the gutter so that it will show on both pages. It will let me create the object and place a picture in it but it disappears on the other page. What am I not doing? Thanks for your help!
mrs.rodgers

Welcome to the forums, mrs. rodgers.
Do you mean you have an actual two page layout (with "Facing Pages" selected in the Document Inspector)? If so (and it's not just a two column layout on one page), then there is unfortunately no way to set a picture to span two pages automatically.
Your best bet is to fake the effect by placing two copies of the picture, one on each side of the gutter, with appropriate masks set on each, so that the left page has the left side of the picture, and the right page has the right side. Do note, however, that most printers won't print right to the edge of the page (so-called "borderless" or "full-bleed" printing), and so it may not turn out exactly as you desire.

Stretching a photo over 2 pages

I am using the Brochures, Program template and i want to stretch a photo over two pages, can I do this?

Pages does not do "spreads", you will have to position half the text/image on 2 adjacent pages using metrics to align the halves.

Is it possible to ignore the cover page of a document when viewing two pages at a time.

when viewing a document with two pages up at a time, I want to ignore the very first page/cover page in the document so that all subsequent pages line up correctly. I can't find how to do this, is it possible. I cannot extract or delete the first page b/c the document is protected. I don't want to modify the document in any way. This document is a catalog that has information spread across two pages. So, when the cover page is included in the two page scroll viewing option, all the corresponding pages are offset by one page. I want the cover page to be at the top, by itself and the rest of the pages to show side by side.

Show - Page Display - tick Show Cover Page in Two Page View.
