Can't Delete Graphic or Page in Pages '08

I've got a document that is nothing more the a large jpeg on each page.
On one page I can't delete the graphic OR the page.
When I select the graphic and hit delete nothing happen. Can't even resize it. When I switch the graphic to Floating in the inspecter, it allows me to "apparently" delte the graphic. I can also resize it. But when I do, there's another copy underneath!
I can make the graphics floating and delete these over and over but there's always another copy beneath it.
I'm using 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro '09.
Thanks.

Sounds like a damaged file or software bug, close it down, do a restart and see if the problem is gone.

How can I delete tab indents created in Pages 08

How can I delete tab indents created in Pages 08. I have a 200 page document with tab indents. I need to delete all the tab indents.

Not sure how it used to be in Pages '08 but in Pages '09 you click on the Advanced button and get a menu to choose invisible characters.
The best solution anyway is to simply drag over the return tab in the document and Copy/Paste that in the Find field and again in the Replace, deleting once to get rid of the tab.

I can't delete, move or create new pages.

Hello,
I have catalogue (390 pages)
Today i cant delete, move or create new pages.
When i delete, move or create new pages - my Indesign CS5.5 program "freezes"
Only with CTR: + ALT + SHIFT i can stopped my program.
Аfter reopening everything was as before!
I try to export like a *.idml file, but my program crashes! Every time!
My OS is: Windows 7
Indesign CS5.5
Please help me
Thank you!
With kind regards,
Botev Plovdiv

Is there anything at all related to this freeze in the Windows Event Viewer?
Are you able to add, remove, or move pages in a new document? Are you able to export a new document to .idml?
Yes, it is able!
It sounds like there may be a corrupt bit of text, or an image in the file. It may be possible to isolate a page, and then an object, using "Divide and Conquer."
Start with a copy of the file, for safety. Try to export the front half and the back half separately. If either half crashes, divide it in half aand try to export those halves. Repeat the process until you have isolated a page that crashes. Now remove half the objects from that page and try to export. If it works, put those back and remove the other half and try again. Repeat as above until you isolate an object.
Thank you, I will try!
After that i will back to you with my comments!
Thank you again, Peter!

I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document. I select them in the thumbnails. But I can't delete them. The 1st pages, the ones I want to keep, are the ones that are deleted. What do I do?

I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document. I select them in the thumbnails, but can't delete them.
When I choose delete, the 1st five pages are deleted.
What do I do?

"2) The last page, p 6, is not in a Section. When I delete p 6 ....pages 2 - 6 are deleted.
Only page 1 remains."
Every page in a Pages word processing document is "in a section". It may be the only page in its section, or it may be in the same section as several other pages. From the behaviour you are describing, I'd suspect your document has two sections: section 1 contains only Page 1, section 2 contains pages 2 to 6.
When you click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar to the left of the page, you'll see a yellow border around all or part of that page icon.
If the yellow border contains only page 6, then Page 6 is in a section by itself, and pressing delete will delete only page 6.
If the yellow border contains page 6 AND any other pages, then all of the pages within that yellow border are in the same section, and pressing delete (while the icons are selected) will delete all of the pages in that section.
To delete only page 6 (the last page in the document) you need to either:
Delete any text content (including invisible characters, and preferably including any other objects) on that page, following the suggestions by Peter above,
OR
Click immediately after the last text character on Page 5, then go Insert > Section Break to place Page 6 into a section of its own. Then click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar, check that the yellow border encloses only page 6, and press delete.
Regards,
Barry
PS: It's pretty easy to add extra pages to a document without seeing the invisible characters that cause the page to appear. Not as easy as it was in Appleworks, fortunately where the personal record for one of my Grade 5 students was a 3 page document with over 1000 extra blank pages sent to a printer. AppleWorks read the enter key as a column break (which acts like a page break on a single column document). On a keyboard with a number pad, enter is in a very convenient location to rest a book (or an arm) while thinking about your writing (or chatting with your neighbor).

I can't delete just one symbol in Pages

When I place a marker on the right of a symbol I want to delete and then press Delete an entire word is being deleted. Also when I want to mark just one or several symbols an entire word is being marked as well. I'm using the template "Storyboards". I feel it's going to occupy a big portion of my time trying to figure out on my own how to make this to act as I want it to, so I'd be grateful if you told how to delete characters one by one.
Pages 9.1
Thanks,
I.S.

It might be worth checking the User Guide section on Placeholder Text which begins:
Using Placeholder Text
Templates contain placeholder text, which shows you what text will look like and where it will be placed in the finished document. Most placeholder text appears in Latin (for example, lorem ipsum) in the document body, text boxes, headers, and elsewhere. Other predefined text, such as the title of a newsletter, appears in the language you’re using.
You click to select the placeholder text and then type your own text to replace it. The text you type keeps the same style and formatting as the placeholder text. If you don’t want to use the style and size of fonts the placeholder text uses, you can change the selected text by clicking the font family and font size controls in the format bar.
Here are ways to work with placeholder text:

How can I delete a custom template in Pages 09

I have just bought Pages 09. I creates a custom template , however I would like to delete it from "My Templates" . I am using Lion 10.74 and am new to Mac.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list.

How can I delete my dysfunctional Google home page and return to the Firefox default home page?

Gadgets on my Google homepage recently stopped functioning. The website or blog headings are still there, but the articles listed under the headings have disappeared (except for New York Times and NPR). The controls which should open a window of options no longer function.
Recently I switched from the free Avast to the paid-for version. Could this relate to my problem>

You can install the Stylish extension from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
Once you have that installed (and restart Firefox if that's required to get it running), re-visit the above userstyles page and you should be able to install the rule easily.

I can't delete section breaks in page,

Hi there, this is my first time using sections in Pages. I've tried your online tutorials but I don't seem to be able to combine two sections together, because I can't work out how to delete the section breaks without deleting the document.
The dotted blue line, which I imagine I'm supposed to be fn+delete-ing deletes the substance of the page also. I'm not sure if it makes much difference but the pages I'm working on are only using pictures.
I need to get the sections right for my TOC.
I really appreciate your help. I'm loving my mac, but this bits giving me a headache!
Cheers, S

Hi poolpony
I suspect you have a lot of pictures mixed in with paragraph returns.
When you have a combination of images with the default word wrap on, not quite filling up the width of the page they can interact in unpredictable ways. This can make them pop and disappear when the page they are on disappears from under them.
Select the images and:
+Inspector > Wrap > Object Placement > Floating+
also:
+Inspector > Wrap > uncheck Object Causes Wrap+
Since there are many ways your returns, inline graphics, wrap and section breaks can interact, if you still have problems email me the file by clicking on my blue name and I'll fix it.

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

I want to pare down my inbox mails. Can I delete more than one page of inbox multiple mails, e.g., all mails from an address that number in the hundreds, all at one time?

I only know to delete emails I want to discard, after search and finding hundreds, by the page (up to 50). How can I delete all at one time, to save me hours of tedious work?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

How can I delete an old web page ??

How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

Delete the web page where it is published.
If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
It really is not hard.

This sounds crazy, but I can't delete a document in Pages. How do I do that? duh.

How do I delete an entire document in Pages? I've tried and it won't go away! I've used every key word/phrase I can think of to get an answer. Thank you.

If you have never saved it just close it and don't save.
If you saved it, go to Finder where you saved it to (probably in your Documents folder), and drag the file to the trash.

I can't delete a page in Pages. In Thumbnail is grouping pages together and won't let me delete it from the group

How can I "de-group" pages in Pages. I want to delete a blank page, and it refuses to let me.

This answer applies to Pages 4/iWork '09 or earlier. I don't use Pages 5 often enough to understand how it handles pages in the sidebar in 5.2.
Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them.

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

Hi Doctoromaka,
Are you unable to delete pages from any PDF, or is the problem specific to one file? If it's just one file, is it possible that the document has permissions applied that would prevent you from modifying the file? (You would see "SECURED" in the title bar of the PDF if it's been secured.) (Also, make sure that the file is open in Acrobat Pro, not Adobe Reader--I always have the two open simultaneously, and sometimes don't realize which one I'm working in.)
If the problem is widespread, what's changed on your system?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

I can't delete bookmarks page in my bookmarks list on toolbars, maybe there is a little bugs. Thx.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
