Can i set margins in page layout mode?

I have margins set in page layout mode, but they don't seem to really work. I can move text around freely but I'd like to set definite margins so when I align my text boxes left I can align them all at 1 inch.

The "blue lines" are guides and yes you can. Objects will snap to the lines when you get close to them.
You can also use the Metrics tab in Inspector palette, and +Menu > >Arrange > Align Objects+ to position text and images.
Read up more on how to work with Pages in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.

  • Page layout mode - margins

    Hi,
    i would like to set fixed margins in page layout mode.
    e.g site layout with inside 1 cm and outside 2 cm.. simple.. - document margins doesn't work in layout mode.
    Rulers are no solution - i don't want to set or change rulers for every site and i can't fix the ruler correct anyway (e.g. only on .83cm and .79cm not on .80.. zooming in doesn't change it)
    thanks for your help-
    greetings
    Chris
    ah.. and.. of course.. help, manual, search function previously in use..

    thanks for your help - maybe i described the problem not exact.. my problem is:
    If you add a box in layout mode (doesn't matter whats inside - text, shapes or images) - you can drag the boxes out of the image, close the page border or with some margin to the border - you can align boxes to each other (horizontal, vertical...)
    But i didn't find a method for aligning all boxes with a certain margin like the document margins in text mode.
    Lets say i have a dozen boxes on a page and a couple of pages and i want to align all of these boxes with 2cm margin to left, top, right and bottom.. like the boxes in given templates.
    Do i have to drag all these boxes manually? - and what happen if i want to change my margin (lets say the printer calls you - it needs some 5mm more margin) - what i am looking for is something to set a certain margin i can align all boxes on and change quickly (.. like in text mode)

  • How to set Single-Page layout mode in C#

    I have searched through all of the API documents, without success in how to correctly set the PDLayoutMode to SinglePage.
    I am using Acrobat Standard 7.0.9 with the 7.0.5 SDK and Visual Studio C# Express 2005 edition. I have quite successfully interfaced with Acrobat using C#, and have been happily using it for the past 8 months. But, now I need to extend my app to programmatically set the page layout mode. I don't find complete enough documentation to help me get the job done.
    One hint I stumbled upon, was to use the AVAppSetPreferences(), but the docs are wimpy on the correct values for the method's two parameters.
    Anyone have any experience with AxAcroPDFLib, or other OLE methods to set the page layout mode to other than default?
    Regards,
    Dale.

    I would like to propose this as a new IDEA in this forum but again: NOT POSSIBLE. I am not privileged.

  • Inline objects in page layout mode

    Before I drive myself any more insane than I already am can someone please confirm, or otherwise, that it isn't possible to use inline objects in page layout mode or, indeed, inside text boxes in word processing mode? Assuming this is the case can anyone suggest a work around?

    Please don't become insane, there already too many such human beeings
    Here is the way I work (mainly because I don't store my photos in iPhoto).
    drag and drop the picture file onto the doc's page.
    select the picture frame with its square handles
    Cut it so it will no longer appear but is stored in the clipboard.
    Put the cursor where you want to insert the picture then paste.

  • Page Layout mode: canvas colour

    Is it possible to change the canvas colour in Page Layout mode?
    Andy

    Andy,
    As with Word Processing Mode, you can place a colored Shape in the background to give the appearance of a colored canvas. There is no canvas color option per se.

  • How do I create sections in page layout mode?

    The "section break" option is always greyed out in page layout mode.
    But I want to create a newsletter with a cover page and then the other three pages will have different headers and footers and I want repeating images on them. This would seem to be quite normal for newsletters. Even the template newsletters do this, but they do do it manually, repeating the images for each page, and manually creating a header and footer for each page.
    I can do it word processing mode, but this is a page layout task - as indicated by Apple including the newsletter templates in the page layout templates.
    Is there anyway to create sections in page layout mode??

    If you compare Page Layout mode with Word Processing mode, you'll see that every page is a separate section.
    In Page Layout, you've got headers & footers, although it's possible some of Apple's Page Layout templates have it turned off, and you can turn off "Use previous headers & footers" on the first page after your cover page, so it seems to me like it's possible to do what you're trying to accomplish.
    A "section break" is a special character you place in the body text of a word processing document to force a new section (see also: page, column, layout, paragraph, and line breaks). In Page Layout, there is no body, and sections/pages are controlled by the Page Thumbnail View.

    Here you are in a forum dedicated to Pages for OSX.

  • Can you set a web page as a 'home page' on the i phone safari as you would?

    Can you set a home page or will the safari button always take you to the last web site you were on?

    You cannot set a Home Page in Safari but if you save your favorite bookmark to the home screen, you can use that to open the browser on iPhone.
    To do this:
    Open Safari and open the page you want for the "Home Page".
    Tap the "+" at the bottom of the screen and select "Save to Home Screen"
    You can then name it whatever you wish and tap Save.
    This will create an icon on the home screen that you can tap on to always open Safari to that page.

  • How can I set default values for Allocate Mode in AO config?

    Hi, How can I set default values for allocate mode in AO config. To be specific, in the attached vi, I need to set the Allocate Mode in AO Config to 'Use FIFO Memory (6)' if the value inside my case structure is false and to 'no change (0)' if the value inside the case strusture is true.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.

  • Re Setting up document from scratch using Page Layout Mode

    I want to design a page from scratch. However, the column mode is grayed out and the program won't let me create columns. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You need to add a text box first. Then, with the cursor in the text box, you can change the number of columns. Without a text box, there is nothing to apply columns to in a page layout document.

  • Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

    Greetings,
    I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
    A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
    I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

    Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
    I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
    I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
    Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
    It all really depends on your demographic audience.
    Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
    I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
    And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

  • I would like to change the project page layouts, but setup option in Project Superuser are not available. How can I change the selected page layouts?

    Hi
    I updated the page layouts for a project in Project Management. Now I woujld like to change those chosen page layouts, but the setup options for the project are no longer available for me to change. How can I update the original chosen page layouts (for performance management) to different layouts or change the chosen layouts to the default (blank) layouts?
    Thanks

    AppleMan,
    It all began inside the settings of my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A when somehow the selection got switched from 1280 x 720 to that other setting with so-called 25fps. Also, I don't know whether the mishap occurred before or after I took my new footage.
    I edited the clips last night and now they are on my blog and channel and they seem ok but slightly fuzzy.
    I used a Sanyo VPC-HD2000A .7x wide angle lens with macro and I notice that when I zoomed in to the little sun conure, the picture blurred. I think that might be something that happens when one zooms the focus.
    Also, I was born and raised to a teenager in Hawaii, but now Southern California has me in its grip.

  • Basic question .... How can I set up a page for visitors to enter data?

    Is it possible in iWeb 08 to set up a page that visitors enter data in specific fields and allow me to retrieve that information? Like filling out a form, then emailing the form to my .mac mail.
    Thanks.

    Yes Douglas you can set up a form that collects information. Use an html snippet and get the form code from such places as
    Wufoo.com
    Formlogix.com
    Createforms.com
    bravenet.com
    and others you may find by googling it.
