Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels?

Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels? I've tried to adjust the margins and the cells to sizes listed on the package, but I can't get them to fit properly. Also, when I try to copy information (return address with three lines of data) from one cell to another to fill in the page, the information ends up with one line each in three different cells. How do I keep it all together?

I'm sure it can be done in Pages but I find it easier to use the Mac version of Avery Design & Print software which can be downloaded free from http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m
It will import information saved in Excel or csv formats which you can do from Numbers or other spreadsheet software.

I have created a table on pages. Somehow I have set something so a blue dot appears every time I press he space bar. How did I do it? and how do I get rid of it?

two questions-- I have created a table on pages. Somehow every time I press the space bar, I get a blue dot between words--How did I do it? and How do I get rid of it. Also, I created a template on pages--How do I "save as" for a new file using that template?

All you are seeing is the word space (from the spacebar).
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles you had Show Invisibles on.
When you are using a template it should be named "Untitled" and it will ask you to save when you go to close or you simply go to Save under the File menu.

Can tables in Pages be numbered across pages?

Hello,
I often work with long tables that span more than one page.
Pages automatically repeats a table's header row on each page. Does anyone know if it is possible to append notations, such as "[TABLE NAME] (Continued)", to the second and subsequent pages of a table without breaking it into multiple tables or effecting the header of the first page?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Whatever you have in the table's header row(s) will repeat. But, if that is a Page Number Object, the proper page number will be reported. Other than that, if you want substantial changes in what in in the header on the first page vs. other pages, you can't do that in the table. You would have to use the Page Header.

Pivot Table, "Insert Page Break After Each Item" Setting Only Works for the First Item Change

I have a flattened pivot table generated from Powerpivot and I would like to insert a page break for each change in the row item.
When I use the pivot table Field Settings>Insert Page Break After Each Item, Excel inserts the first page break then returns to normal pagination for the rest of the output.
Is there another setting required to maintain the page breaks after the item change?
Thanks.

We are experiencing the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Can't add rows to a table in Pages 5.1

I started my table in Numbers but it defaults to huge margins top bottom and on the sides so I can't get much on one page and it won't let you change the margins - one of the huge advantages Excel has. So I copied and pasted part of my table into Pages which does allow you to change the page margins. When I tried to paste or add more rows into that Pages document, the cells below row 120 remain black. Whats keeping me from seeing or working with more rows at the bottom of this table in Pages?

Hank,
The previous version of Numbers had the ability to manage margins, and to view the margins while editing the content. This version, 2.3, is still available.
Whenever you paste a table into Pages, or when you insert one, you must be aware of what part of the document it is in. If it Moves with Text (formerly known as Inline), it will flow from page to page. If the table Stays on Page (formerly known as Floating), the table will run off the bottom of the page and the lower portion will not be displayed.

Can I have variable widths of columns in a table in pages for ipad?

I would like to make a table in Pages that has a larger column for the first column than the others so I can put labels in this column. Is that possible on the ipad? I know I can do this in Pages on a computer.

Yes you can:
Select the column in question by tapping on the very top bar.
Drag the || handle to the left or right to change the width.
You may need to reduce the width of one or more other columns to do this if the table is already the width of the margins.

How can I change the thickness of the cell border of a table in Pages for iPad ?

Hi,
i want to change the thickness of cell borders in tables in Pages for iPad to at least 2pt, better 3pt.
How can I change the thickness in the iOS Version of Pages ?
Thanks

try this ...
In ur table call this
ColorRenderer cell=new ColorRender();
// for(int i=0;i<table.getModel().getColumnCount();i++){
// TableColumn mod=this.getColumn((this.getModel().getColumnName(i)));
mod.setCellRenderer(cell);
And ur ColorRender calss should override DefaultTableCellRenderer like this
class ColorRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
protected int align;
public ColorRenderer(int align) {
this.align=align;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
int column) {
setHorizontalAlignment(align);
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected,
hasFocus, row, column);
if(col==4){
setBackground(Color.cyan);
return this;

I have a one-column table in pages. Each cell has text and a number separated by a colon. Can I automatically make it two column with everything to the right of the colon in the second column?

I have a one-column table in pages. Each cell has text and a number separated by a colon. Can I automatically make it two column with everything to the right of the colon in the second column?

Here's another way that is pretty quick to do.
Formula in Column B is:
=LEFT(A, FIND(":", A))
Formula in Column C is:
=RIGHT(A, LEN(A)-FIND(":", A))
You can eliminate the colon from the result in column B by writing:
=LEFT(A, FIND(":", A)-1)
Once you do the conversion, you should freeze the result by Selecting columns B and C and then Command-C, Edit > Paste Values.

Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
eg:
If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
address added because of business I describe above
Any ideas how I can implement this?
Appreciate that
Regards
Mohsen

Hi,
from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

How can i combine pages in potrait and layout orientations in one document in Pages '09?

Hi all,
I am a new user to iwork '09. Previously I had been using Microsoft office for Mac, but I recently downloaded iWork as i believe Apple designs hardware and software which has better performance.
So far i am happy with using pages'09, but recently I have gotten frustrated. I do many project documents which have narrative sections which are usually done in portrait orientaion, but these documents also have rather wide tables which are best presented in landscape orientation. I could switch page orientation in word, but in pages, I have not been able to do so. This alone makes working with pages rather difficult and not appropriate for quite a few of my proposals.
Would anyone be able to advise me on how I can make documents in pages which have some pages in portrait orientation and other in landscape orientations within the same document?
Please help!
Ayaz

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate the time you have taken out to attend to my query.
The document I am working on is to be shared with a team for further inputs. Its frustrating how they can all mix page orientations as they use word and I cannot because i use pages. In essence I will also have the final input on some of these documents and then forward them to coleagues internationally, hence they must look presentable and easy to read.
Do you have any tips I could use? I could use word, but I love the look of my documents when done in pages, its a fantastic word processor, albeit this limitation.

How to resize a table in Pages 5?

Using tables in Pages 5.1

Using tables in Pages 5.1 is a pain in the neck. When I create a full page table the mobility arrows disappear into the space above the page and effectively become inaccessible. I personally don't understand the need for this function and wish the designers would remove it as it really slows down productivity.
I've tried to increase the size of the window around the pages document but only the sides and bottom allow for this to happen. The top border automatically aligns with the top of the window and I can't figure out how to seperate them..
Does anyone know how to divorce the top of the document from the window? Or know of any other ways to work with full-page tables in pages?
Many thanks

Trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 09.

Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
Any idea?

You are right with floating / inline.
But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...
