Can Change Object Placement Wrap Default Settings?

I use a lot of text and image boxes in Pages. I would like the default setting in the Wrap pane in the Inspector to be "Floating" and the check box to be unchecked for "Object Causes Wrap." Most of the time I have to open up the Inspector to change these settings for each my text and image boxes and it would be much easier to change the default setting.

You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
I don't know about setting the default to floating. When I drag & drop an object onto a Pages document it always is floating.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

How to set default object placement & wrap for drag-and-dropped files

I am working on a document into which I need to drag-and-drop a number of files from the Finder: JPGs, PDFs, and so on. Each time I drag a file into Pages, by default its placement is set as "Floating (doesn't move with text)" and "Object causes wrap" is active.
I would much prefer that the default settings be "inline" and "object does not cause wrap," so my drag-and-dropped images will appear within the text and move with it.
Is there a way to change this default setting?

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

How to change "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" as a default properties when importing images in Autor

When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
I don't want that and couldn't find where can I change it in the Preferences. Anyone has an idea?

I've sent a feature request for a new version of Author:
When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
It would be great if I could be able to change it in the Preferences to "No wrap" and "No Frame" so I don't have to manually adjust every single image of my book - there are lots of them.
It would be really nice if Author implements "Layer's" concept like almost all graphic programs like Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc.

When I print, resolution changes, can I reset Acrobat to default settings?

I can't see any issue with any of my settings though shortly after reinstalling CS a month ago, Acrobat started printing to a much lower resolution than the PSD (or any application) is set to print to, though Photoshop may be the only one where I am actively looking into resolution issues because...
Every resulting PDF I get is about 1x1", when I'm starting with a letter size doc (or any other size, they all shrink down that dramatically in Acrobat iwth the resulting PDF).
Checking all resolution settings in Advanced Print Settings dialogs all -look- like they're fine. Is there a way to reset the whole shebang to installation default settings to help correct this traumatic happening which always happens just as I need to send a PDF off to someone of course.
Thanks for your help in advance, I really appreciate any tips or if the default thing is easy, thanks!

Hi, thanks. Do you mean Save As - Photoshop PDF, or... how are you referring to doing that?
(Thank you for this! I had taken to making screenshots for pete's sake, though this change happened suddenly, so ... I have no idea why printing to PDF suddenly didn't work and it seems it should be "repairable".)

How can I go back to default settings or uninstall completely then re-install-on MAC OS X 10.6.8

I used to be asked to allow or temporarily allow each site I visited.
I am no longer getting these anywhere and prefer going back so I can choose which sites to allow. I also cannot get JavaScript to work--I've enabled it and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling to
no avail...and yet I have no problem using JavaScript on Safari.

Which data are you referring to?
Is that about cookies or other things like JavaScript that you mention?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Change crop-mark offset default/settings?

I would love it if there was an option to make the crop-mark offset equal the bleed. Very often when printing or exporting PDFs, even if using a preset that's defined as including bleed and crop-marks, I still have to check the bleed amount and manual change the offset to match.

Thanks for the action. I loaded the cs2/cs3 version into the actions panel in CS4 but when I tried it out I can't get it to work. I created a rectangle to use as a bounding box, then ran the action. It first came up with this error:
"The object "Ungroup" is not currently available." Stop or Continue
When I press continue, it runs through all the different steps in the action but instead of crop marks all it gives me is a tiny rectangle a fraction the size of the original bounding box rectangle that I originally specified.
Is this happening because it's not compatible with CS4?

Changing png export ppi default settings

Thanks Larry - I can use the action and it works beautifully as a standalone. I was hoping to incorporate the function in an applescript but I have a scripter who absolutely denies using actions in an applescript.

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

Trakckpad default settings

A colleague changed my trackpad settings as a practical joke. I want to return them to the default settings, but there is no option to do so. Can anyone tell me the default settings for each trackpad gesture or tell me how to easily reset all trackpad settings all at one time?

Here's the defaults:
Point & Click
Tap to click: Disable
Secondary click: Enable (maybe this was disabled by default)
Lookup: Enable
Three finger drag: Disable
Tracking Speed: 40%
Scroll & Zoom
All Enabled
More Gestures
All Enabled except App Expose

Adobe Document Services - Default Settings

Hi there
We are providing users with the functionality to print their reports through PDF. This functionality is working almost perfectly (apart from the irritating fact that multi line cell headings are not printed), but what I have been requested to change now are the default settings that are displayed when the download starts.
There is a screen that asks for the theme that should be used, and more importantly, the page layout ... it would be great if we could change those default settings, but I don't know where that is done ... any ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew

Not sure if this blog maybe of use... (it relates to XI and Adobe Document Service, but running on NW2004s)

Change Object ID in EP 6.0

Does anybody out there have a tool that can change object IDs? I want to change iView and page ids and I know people at SAP has this kind of tool. If anybody out there has it please let me know. It would make myself so much easier. thank you in advanced.

Hi Jeremy,
the situation didn't change since beginning of November, and my words (it would be great also to offer the read/write version) seem to be unheard.
The read version is offered here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloaditem.sdn?res=/html/PCDInspector_download.htm
The read/write version is offered by your best friend at SAP
If this one doesn't exist, you can try to follow Dagfinn's hint.
Hope it helps & have a nice weekend

Apple Pages Document inspector default settings

I got nowhere with the explanation on how to change the default settings in Apple Pages Inspector>Document inspector: I want .25 inch margins and no Headers or Footers: please specify Menu, menu item and precise selections in, e.g., Pages Preferences

Okay, I got it. And here's the kind of precision I need to be helped: in Pages, create a new document, open the Inspector, go to the first choice on the left, Document inspector, placing the cursor over the first item on the left identifies that selection on a yellow label, make your selections there, in my case .25 inches for all the margins and uncheck the Headers and Footers boxes, I don't want headers or footers; go to the File menu at the top left of the screen, select Save as Template..., name the file, indicate where you want to store it and Save it, go to the Pages menu at the top left of the screen, select Preferences..., that will open the General Preferences screen, select the first item at the top, General, if it's not already selected, select the second item if it's not already selected, Use template: [the name you gave the document you just saved might appear here] and click Choose, select My Templates at the bottom of the screen, which may already be selected, select the template you just set up, and click Choose. Close the General Preferences window. I set up two templates, the original template provided by Apple, and mine. To change the Inspector document default settings, I go to the Pages menu, select Preferences..., select the second choice, Use template, click Choose, select My Templates, select whichever template I want for my documents, and click Choose. All new documents will now be formatted according to the default settings I just selected for Inspector>Document inspector.
Here's a related item I don't get: Page Setup... the third item, Paper Sizes, last choice, Manage Custom Sizes.. allows you to choose the margins you want in the custom setup you've selected. But it doesn't apply those margins to the document you're working in even though it will apply the page dimensions you've chosen. You have to go to the Pages Inspector>Document inspector and make the margin changes there. Why offer the choice in Page Setup if the choice doesn't work? It would save time if it did.

Reset Text Wrap and Object Placement defaults?

Using Pages 5.5.2 (w Yosemite).
Wondering if there's any way to set a default preference for the Text Wrap and Object Placement parameters in the Format > Arrange tab?
For example, more often than not I need to have Text Wrap set to "None", rather than "Automatic". I was at least hoping that once I'd set a particular object to "None", any new objects I created or which were dragged into that same document would inherit that same Text Wrap setting (in much the same way that any new drop shadow setting becomes the new default when applying the drop shadow effect to subsequent selections). But even THAT doesn't seem to be the case with the Text Wrap & Object Placement options -- much less being able to reset a new global preference.
Any suggestions (which still involve using Pages 5.5.2) appreciated.
Thanks,
John B

just discovered a related topic: when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?
But that thread ends up going in a slightly different direction, since having to create placeholder shapes, and then duplicating (+ individually repositioning) same, for almost every time I dragged an image into a Pages doc would actually be MORE work than the current annoyance of having to reset the Text Wrap setting for most new objects.
I just want a way to set a global preference for that adjustment -- or at least a preference to have all new objects start off with the same Text Wrap (and Object Placement) settings as the last ones used.
Possibility? Or Feature Request?

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.
