Can the proofreading tools in Pages be altered?

Is it possible to alter the proofreading items flagged by Pages. When I write technical documents it is tiresome to have Pages repeatedly flag the same word as jargon; in a technical document jargon is useful and intended.
My favorite irritating flagged item is 'adapt.' Pages is of the opinion that I really mean 'adopt.' I don't mean that and would like a way to tell Pages that I no longer, maybe never, needed that advice.

Do you really mean proof reading? It sounds as you mean spell checking. Proof reading has a green under line and Spell checking a red one.
I myself don't use proofreading in any language. I find it not helping much. I do use spell checking and if a legitimate word gets a red line I let the Pages learn it. I don't think proofreading have a learning ability. You could turn it off and when you are done writing turn it on and see what to correct.

  • Can the Admin Tool be run as a standalone app?

    Can the Admin Tool run without logging into a Dispatch Workstation?

    Yes it can.
    In fact you actually side step licensing issues by doing this because "technically" you are
    not running a dispatcher workstation and therefore don't need to pay for another license.
    The file to run is usually located in: DispatchStation\AdminTools and is called: ResourceManager.exe
    You would need to take EVERYTHING from the AdminTools directory to run the tool.
    You'd also want to make sure that the config file: ResourceManager.exe.config still makes
    sense for the machine that you are on.
    One word of caution: Running the Admin tool stand-alone is not really encouraged. Not a lot
    of testing has been done in this regard and you may run into issues that have not been
    seen when the admin tool is run as part of the dispatcher workstation.
    I'm not sure if the stand-alone admin tool is even officially supported.
    I CAN say that much of the functionality that you see from the too when it is run as part of the DW
    does work when it is stand-alone, just don't expect 100%.

  • How can I fine tune what the Crop Tool crops (page, not image)?

    When cropping a page using the Crop Tool, it seems to snap to preset dimensions, so that I can't crop to exactly the area I want to crop.

    I did... and that fixed it... thanks!
    Take care,

  • How to use the design tools in pages 5.2 on Macbook Pro

    How do you use the alignment tools for placing and inserting images in pages 5.2?

    Hi Ivy Janelle,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    In Pages 5, you can insert images using the Media browser at the top of the document window. Once you insert them, you can edit and arrange images using the Format inspector--the paintbrush icon in the top right. You can find detailed information about inserting and using images at these links:

  • Actually I have two questions one, can the lasso tool be anti aliased? And is the Wacom creative stylus 2 supported on the app

    iI'm thinking about buying the app, but I NEED to know if it's gonna work for me

    ps touch has stylus support, but the only stylus I know that definitely works is the S-pen.
    as for the lasso tool: it can be done indirectly.
    make a selection using any selection tool, and then use the "feather" option to soften the edges of your selection.

  • Can the crop tool resize resolution be changed?

    When using the crop tool, and resizing it via the mouse, the dimensions tend to jump by 6-15 pixels depending on the phase of the moon (or more likely which dimension I am changing).
    It would be nice if I could get LR into a 1-pixel movement mode or otherwise be able to set an exact pixel size for the cropping.  Putting my mouse into high-resolution mode does not help.  The crop tool always runs in a "fit" zoom mode so cropping at 1:1 zoom is not an option.
    The "custom aspect ratio" dialog does not get me there because it does not do pixel dimensions.
    I am aware that after doing the crop, I could use the export tool to get the exact pixel dimensions, but that is not what I am looking for.

    When you email a picture from Photos, you can choose the size.

  • I simply can no longer locate the T, the text tool icon on the tool bar in PSE 12

    I simply can no longer find the T, the text tool icon.  In fact the whole tool bar seems greatly altered and reduced. Adobe help states that I need merely to "select the Horizontal or Vertical Text Icon" but they are nowhere to be seen, thus cannot be selected.
    There must be some different view option, I assume.
    I also assume that this is an easy fix.

    Are you sure you're in Expert mode? If not, click the word Expert at the top of the PSE window.

  • My pointer, becomes a hand and it will not activate message in email when I scroll over the message I would like to open. How can I eliminate the hand tool?

    Need help with deactivating this feature. The pointer becomes a hand, when I hover over email messages. What can I do to eliminate this situation?

    The answer depends, in part, on which website you use for email. Volunteers often have accounts on Gmail, Yahoo mail, and Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail). Other sites might require more guesswork...
    Meanwhile, here are some general suggestions:
    '''Clear obsolete files and data'''
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove your mail site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    '''Bypass possible problem add-ons temporarily'''
    Firefox's Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Has the recipe template for Pages been removed?

    Since updating to the latest version it seems to have disappeared both on iOS and on Mavericks.

    Apple removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and changed the file format.
    Pages 5 alters/damages older Pages '09 files which is why Apple removed over 2/3rds of the templates.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • I got the new version of firefox and I have lost the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh butten. how can i get this back

    I downloaded the new version of firefox. I restarted my computer. I no longer have the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh button. I need help getting those buttons back.

    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.<br />
    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Can't use the Zoom Tool to set the Magnification level of pages to diff sizes from the preset ones

    Hi, I am trying to use the Zoom Tool and "Set Magnification" on my Dreamweaver CS5.5 in order to view my pages at different magnifications when working on them.  My problem is that I need to use different sizes than those sizes that are available under the preset magnification levels list (which are for example 100%, 150% or 200%).  These are the ones that  come up on the zoom pop-up menu.  The dreamweaver tutorial says that I need to type in the size I want (e.g. 115% or 130%) in the "zoom text box" and it will then apply that size to the page but the box does not let me change whatever size is currently in it.  I can’t override or delete whatever preset size is in the box or do anything to change the zoom from the pre-set levels! I would really appreciate some help with this thanks

    Hi Ben, thank you for the reply, unfortunately that was one of the pages I was looking at to try and fix this issue but it is of no help. 
    The page says for zooming in and out of a page to "Type a magnification level in the Zoom text box.".  My dreamweaver will not let my type a manficiation level in the zoom text box.  It just won't let me override whatever is in the box (e.g. 100%) so I can't change it from the default pre-set magnification levels. It is so frustrating!
    Does anyone else have any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • I can't get the hand tool to move around the page by using the spacebar?

    This has been working for me for ages but it has just stopped working an hour ago... Have I accidentally turned off a setting somewhere?
    Newsgroup_User

    If the type tool is active with a blinking cursor, press Alt/Option to activate the hand tool.
    With no blinking cursor, press Alt/Option + Spacebar.
    If this is not the issue, try replacing your preferences.

  • How do I print just 1 web page in FF 29 ? With 29 you can only change the first field ( 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, etc. ) That means I can only print all 5 pages,

    So I cant seem to print just the 1st of 5 pages. The default setting , 1 of 5, will print all 5 pages. The 2nd field can not be altered, as it could in previous FF versions, to 1 of 1. Therefore, I can only print all 5 pages, 2 through 5, 3 through 5, etc. WTF - I keep wasting print paper. I got the print edit add-on but that doesn't seem to help. I have been through several FF versions and do not like the format of 29.

    Actually, with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit addon], if I click the down arrow I get the old print format options and can do it.
