Can I do this in a single text box?

I'm working on a layout. The table of contents is currently two columns, one for the page number and one for the description, but we're looking for a way to keep it all in a single column. How can I set it up?
I'm including a screenshot of the layout for reference.

It may be difficult if you are using InDesign´s TOC tool, maybe someone else have some tips&tricks for that...
But if you are putting your TOC together manually, there´s few ways how you can get more control over your columns...
I would use tables, but then we are not talking about text frame columns anymore... if you want to use text frames, you can use InDesign´s split column feature.
I attach sample indd for you, it´s very quickly done, so don´t check it too deeply...=) But you can explore the basic principle with it... Make sure that you calculate your text´s leading so that it maches the grid settings... and allign you pagenumbers and TOC headlines to grid... that way you can keep them aligned...
Here´s the actual file:

ps. not that you have build your text with following order if you are using split column:
45
47
49

I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac. I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC. How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
working:
td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
$row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
$_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
Customer</a></td>

Displaying a mix of L to R and R to L readable strings in a single text box

Folks,
Is it possible to get accurate display of fields when English string values and hebrew characters are dragged into a single text box for viewing.
Currently while doing this the display gets erratic as some of the english strings gets displayed in the middle of a hebrew word.
the whole text box data needs to be read as R to L , with the exceptions of a few English string DB values.
Is this achievable ? Thanks for your help.
-Jayakrishnan

Thanks for your reply Jamie.
I am not sure whether I made my requirement really clear.
I have these formula which display words in multiple languages, say english , hebrew , korean etc. The data value for this formula will be supplied by the framework externally at run time depending on which language has been selected.
Now for this scenario I got to display 50 + objects in a concatenated fashion containing the combination of above said formula ( Labels ) and their DB values.
For hebrew language the text growth should be R to L even if it would containg DB fields which may be integers or strings.
The logic you have mentioned in the txt file, I have not understood why we need to reverse the string as I am assuming the characters would be laid out correctly.
The missing part is when the string grows to the next line the printing should start from the Right and not from the Left.
Hope this would be a little more clear. Appreciate your time.

Concatenating 2 fields in a single text box...

Hi All,
I want to display 2 fields in a single text box of an adobe form....how is it possible???? one field is the pernr and the other is a text field.....

Hello,
You can do in 2 ways.
1. Wrap 2 fields into one subform,set flow content to the subform and set the expand to width.Set expand to width to the 2 fields.
2. Wrap 2 fields into one subform, set invisible in the object properties , set height and width as 0, Insert 3rd text field into the subform set no binding. Write the below script on the subform in form ready ( if it is in body page).
[code]var f1 = $.field1
var f2 = $.field2
$.field3 = Concat(f1, f2)[/code]

How can I keep acrobat from breaking apart text boxes?

I have a multipage graphic document that I am addiing text to in several stages. I just selected Add Text and entered my content into one "box" for each section I need to add but when I re-open the document the next day to continue my work, Acrobat breaks my single text box of content into multiple smaller boxes making my new edits a complete pain. Is there any way to keep this from happening? I'm running Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.06

I've been giving this some thought.
Generally, the idea of sharing design between two people by having one of them use Acrobat is a complete non-starter. And I would say use InDesign. But it does have a steep learning curve. Nevertheless, it would be the most viable way to collaborate on this project, and the most editable/maintainable for you, especially if the maps were not changing but the contact details were.
But let's look at some other alternatives. Not converting to anything else. Not graphics. Not Word. All terrible, they will leave the thing awful, or enormous, quite probably both.
If you are stuck with Acrobat I recommend a defensive approach.
1. Always keep the un-marked original.
2. Add your text.
3. If you need to edit the text, start by deleting it all.
4. If the text boxes get mixed up with the underlying graphic, give up on the page and use Replace Pages from that un-marked original; add a new caption.

I'm using pages. How can I change the shape of a text box to arch?

I'm using pages. How can I change the shape of a text box to arch?

You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

I can no longer see the gray "suggested text" boxes when I type an email or text message. How do I restore this function?

I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system a few days ago. I really like the gray suggested text boxes that appeared when typing an email or text message. That function has stopped. How do I get it back?

Make sure you have "Predictive" turned on (green) in Settings > general > Keyboards.

Can't disable a hyperlink in a text box

Hi
I'm having trouble with Pages '06 and how it handles text that looks like a URL. I'm putting together an ad that has a text box with some text like www.domain.com. I've selected the text and de-selected the 'Enable as Hyperlink' option as I don't want the link line to appear under the text in the printed page.
My problem is that the change doesn't 'stick'. When I de-select the option, the text colour changes to black and the link line disapears. As soon as I click out of the text box, it reverts back to a hyperlink complete with blue colour and underlining.
If I place text directly onto the page - not in a text box - it works as expected.
I've tried this in Pages '05 and it works as expected. I've deleted the prefs files... any suggestions?
Thanks!
James

The setting is now in the 'Auto correction' pane... and yes - it solves the problem! Thanks for that!!! Now I can manually set the link detection. Looks like someone got the 'AutoDetection' routines a bit messed up...
Thankyou for the suggestion!!!

I can't change a shape or a text box fill color

Hello community,
I used to change the colors of my shapes and text boxes, but suddenly I can't do it anymore. I restarted my Mac 'cause it appeared to be something about the memory... but unsuccessfully...
This is how I do: I select my shape, then go to the Graphic window, select Color Fill (then a white or a grey appears into my shape), and I double-click at the color menu to change it, but the shape remains the same (white or grey). I can choice between fill and no fill, but not change the color!
Does it happened with anybody yet?
Thanks a lot,
Dea.

Try quitting iWeb, deleting the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist,
restarting your Mac and running Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Deleting the .plist fixes a lot of things but I rarely have to do it as I restart a lot and run Disk Utility at least once a week.

Can a TOC be inserted into a text box in Pages?

Good evening. I am part way into creating a first document in Pages. Things are going well, for the most part, though I admit there is a learning curve here.
One problem I am encountering is getting a Table of Contents (TOC) to generate inside a text box. There is a specific effect I am trying to create that depends upon having that text box surrounding the TOC. Is it possible to generate the TOC within the text box?
Alternatively, if it is not possible, is there a way to mimic a floating text box with embedded TOC in Pages using whatever standard method exists? I have tried using the plain old "Insert table of contents" menu item and the results are plain and ugly. Moreover, I don't seem to have much control over placement of the TOC, though I see how I can change some of the formatting.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
Russell Collier
ps: I am new to Macs in general, though I have extensive experience on Windows OS. I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Mtn Lion upgrade, and newly purchased Pages '09 software.

Thanks for the advice. I have just re-posted this in Pages forum and will close this question now.
I am deeply familiar with Word, myself, but wanted to try a new challenge. Pages has been highly recommended to me as a tool that can produce some quite beautiful documents. Re-doing my CV from its current, fairly conventional format to something much more graphic seemed like a nice creative outlet.
Best,
Russell

How can I drag the edge/resize a text box on the 3rd row w/o changing all the rows above it?

I am new to Acrobat and FormsCentral of course.
I have three rows of text boxes, something like this:
Name
(other text fields)
Primary Address
I want the input box to be immediately following the label; for example (pretend the underline is the input box:
Name ___________
(other text fields)
Primary Address ___________
However, Forms Central looks like this:
Name _________________
(other text fields)
Primary
Address ______________
When I try to edit the Primary Address box, either by dragging the right label edge or the left text box edge on that field, it also drags the edges of the fields above it!
Is there a way NOT to do this?
I've been trying to find tutorials on how to manipulate the design/layout of the forms, but so far all the YouTube and other tutorials I've seen simply do a vertical form, one field per line.
Thanks!

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

IPage: page vertical margin can't be adjust. / the Title Text box on every pape also.

how to reduce the vertical margin in the iPage? why the adjust bar not seen on the vertical side line?
why on every page there is a Title Text Box on the top and could not remove this non-sense/space wasting thing?
-- is there are any better word processor in iWork or Mac family?
thanks. jerry

I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out what you are asking. Your post is hard to read with the giant font sizes, but I'll try.
By vertical margin do you mean top & bottom? And what is an "adjust bar"?
That "title text box" is a header. There are also footers & they are enabled by default in a Pages word processing document (no such thing as 'iPage'). You can turn them off in the document inspector. To recover the space, change the size to zero before unchecking the box. To make this the default for new document you'll need to save as a template & set this template to be the default in preferences.

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault
You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How can I change the background color in text box using RGB format

Can some one tell me if Mac Pages (version 5.0) allows users to customize the background color of a text box using RGB color format? It appears that the text color can be changed using RGB but background color is limited to a few standard colors. Thanks

They are just sample swatches, use the Color Picker to choose anything you want.
