Changing individual cell sizes using Table

Has anyone yet figured out how to lengthen or shorten a single table cell in Pages 'o8. This was easy to do in Pages '06 , but I've tried every key combination I could think of in Pages '08 and have not yet succeeded in making this desired change. Some of the cells in tables converted from Pages '06 have suffered width changes, and the columns are misaligned. If no one can help, I'll inform Apple about what must be a bug, and perhaps the people in charge will do some thing helpful. Louis Kuslan

Hello
The explanation is quite simple.
Tables in Pages '06 where tables.
In Pages '08 they are full spreadsheet tables built with the same piece of code used in Numbers.
This is why the inherited the specs of spreadsheet's cells.
You may *go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu*, and describe what you wish.
But to be fair, I would be surprised if this feature was seriously modified.
Maybe the minimal width would be smaller but the max width will not evolve (only my guess).
Which values where you trying to use?
On my screen is a sheet whose cell A7 is 11" in height and 15" in width.

Can a link only change one cell in a table?

I've been learning Dreamweaver from a textbook, but I'm still pretty new to it, and I'm not sure what terminology to use here. I want my site to have a link that just changes one cell in a table when you click the link, rather than having it go to a whole new page. For example, you click a link and a picture changes but the rest of the site stays the same. So far, I've been doing this by just making several duplicates of an html file, and then just changing that one cell in each copy. It works, more or less, but then whenever I want to make a change to my page, I have to make the same change in all the copies. There's got to be a better way, right?
If this is too complicated to explain in a forum, perhaps someone could just tell me if there's a term for what I'm trying to do, and then I can just look for it in my book or search for it online.
Thanks for your help. Oh, and the version I'm using is CS5.

What you are asking for is called a 'disjoint rollover', which means 'something happens over here, and the effect is seen over there'. It's simple to do even manually. Take a look at this page -
http://www.murraytestsite.com/locrian.html
The code on the page is this -
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('image').src='_img/masthead-logo1.jpg'">link</a></p>
<table width="347" border="1">
<tr>
    <td>  </td>
    <td>  </td>
    <td>  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>  </td>
    <td>  <img src="_img/masthead-logo.jpg" width="347" height="120" alt="" id="image"/></td>
    <td>  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>  </td>
    <td>  </td>
    <td>  </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I used a table because you specifically asked about tables, but I wouldn't recommend using them for anything other than tabular data, and certainly not for general layout. The code could be re-written like this to completely eliminate the table -
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('image').src='_img/masthead-logo1.jpg'">link</a></p>
<div><p><img src="_img/masthead-logo.jpg" width="347" height="120" alt="" id="image"/></p></div>
</body>
</html>
Better, huh?

Using a javascript to change the font size used by the measurement tool

A couple years ago I saw a javascript written that would allow me to chang the font size used by the measurement tool in Acrobat 9. When the IT department deliverd my new laptop with Acrobat X Pro, they had wiped out the script and I am not expert enough to recreate it from scratch. Any suggestions? I believe it was in an older post by Dave Merchant, but I truly can't find the post or a way to recreate the script. Thanks for any help.

Executing this code from the JS console will change the font size of all the Measurement annotations to 20. You can change the value in the first line to use a different font size:
var newTextSize = 20;
this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i in annots) {
    var annot = annots[i];
    if (annots[i].type=="Line") {
        var richText = annot.richContents;
        for (var i in richText) {
            richText[i].textSize = newTextSize;
        annot.richContents = richText;

Adding Effects to text in individual cells of a table

Hello every one,
I am creating a five day calendar for a larger day timer. I have used a table to format all my information now I just wanted to add effects to some of the text( drop shadow to the name of the month and what not). Is there a good way to add effects to just one cell of a table? So far I can only add effects to the entire table. I am using Indesign cs5 on a Mac. Also does any one know of a good calendar creating script or template? I am currently using calendar magic but it is a little limited and cant make independent mini calendars or weekly calendars.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
I tried with your suggested solution.
The text was hypertexed but when i click to display the text which is linked to it is not shown.
In general text i had linked the Text to a file to open after click on the hypertext by using Append Hypertext Link Anchor to Report.vi by stating the URL or the File Path to its input.
I am attaching the VI for your reference.
Thanks & Regards,

In InDesign, how can I name individual cells in a table for interactive PDFs?

Hi, I'm creating interactive PDFs for a client that include tables with empty cells that will be populated afterwards (depending on what information a customer puts in on a form).
The forms are created in InDesign and exported as interactive PDFs, but I need to be able to name the live fields (in InDesign) before I export the Interactive PDF, so that I don't have to select each indivual field in the final PDF and rename them.
The reason I want to be able to do this pre-PDF production, is because the forms will be rebranded over and over again and I don't want to have to rename hundreds of cells time and time again in Acrobat Pro.
The deveopler who's populating the cells already has predefined names for them, so I can's simply give him the names that Acrobat automatically defines.

What version of InDesign are you using? If CS6 or CC, you can add fields and enter a name for each in the Name field of the Buttons and Forms panel.

How can you increase/change the font size using window.print

We don't use BI/XML Publisher.
I have a button with an URL Redirect to print.
javascript:window.print();
How can I give the user the option to print with a different font or larger size or optionally to set it the same for everyone?
thanks
John

Hi,
I would think that, generally speaking, users would print from a Printer Friendly page. This is a page template that has most of the top and bottom (that is, the tabs and footers) of a normal page removed. You can switch a page to a Printer Friendly one fairly easily - see: Re: Print Report without Template for an example. As this is a separate page template, you can use printer-only styling. The downside is that you can only have one Printer Friendly page in your application, so you have to be careful to make any styling generic.

How do you change the picture size using airplay? The image is small

Using the mirror feature, the image is not filling up the screen on a 48" 1080p TV any ideas?
Thanks in advance..

Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

Re-using table cells

If I deque a cell for reuse, will it retain the CGRect? using which it was initialized earlier...
here is the code ...
CGRect *frame = CGRectMake(10.0, 0.0, 220.0, 25.0);
UILabel *value;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"someID"];
if (cell == nil)
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:frame reuseIdentifier:@"SomeID"] autorelease];
value = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
value.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
value.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
value.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
value.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
value.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];
value.text = @"old text";
else {
value = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
value.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
value.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
value.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
value.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
value.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];
value.text = @"new text";
[cell.contentView addSubview:value];
The problem in my app is when it reloads the table, the contents' positions gets changed.

Using table cells as nav buttons

Hi to all
I manage a fairly large website that I have generated from
scratch a few years ago. I have always tightly controlled the
layout and text formats through CSS, but am now being
‘forced’ to use a corporate-type template with an
incredibly slow and cumbersome online editor. I am in the process
of re-creating the template with DW so that I have local control
and much easier design/coding tools. One of the thing I need to
re-create is a rollover nav bar that re-sizes when the text size is
increased by the user and stretches with different window sizes and
screen sizes …etc. I propose to use a table layout to allow
this re-sizing to happen, but can find no way of using individual
cells within the table as rollover buttons. I’d appreciate
some help in trying to figure out how best to achieve this effect.
Thanks in advance
Doc

How do you change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?

How do you change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?
Note- I am trying to figure out how to create and format tables in the latest version of the Pages app on an iPad air (iOS 8.1.1.1) . Creating tables, adding or removing borders for individual/all cells in a table seems straight forward. However the default border style seems to be a heavy black line. How do I change this?
I found the option add or remove borders for all/ individual cells in a table, however I can't find any option within style/format dialogue screens for changing colour or line thickness for table cells. Likewise I can't find any clear instructions on how to do this in apple help pages or support website
Btw- I'm assuming it is possible to customize/adjust the colour & thickness of selected lines in a table created in this app (it's fairly easy to do this word processing apps like MS Word) please let me know if this is not actually possible in Pages

They know perfectly well what they took out of Pages '09.
Well over 90 features.
Do you think you posting feedback is going to remind them of what they did?
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Change cell size in book module

I would like to change the cell size in the book module, not altering the cell padding which just adjusts the size of the photo within the cell, I want to edit the actual cell. Is this possible?

I believe that Cell Size is fixed for any of the template pages in LR.
However if you choose the "Full Page" template, you can unlink the "padding" sliders to size and position a cell where you wish, along with zooming the image size. But limited to only one image on the page!

Change font size using code

I would like to change the font size using the xml code.
<?draft?> is the field I am using and would like to define the size of the field / text by code.

<fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red">
Your test or your field
</fo:block>

Protect individual Cells?

Can you protect individual cells? I am trying to make an invoice. I want to make sure that when values are entered in a cell that they can not be changed, but you can change the quantity etc.
I know I can do in excel, but I am trying to convert my business to mac. I really need this to work on my mac as well as my Ipad. Help!

Protection ("Lock") can be set for only a whole table, not for individual cells.
One workaround is to use one table only for calculations, including transfers of values from a second table, used exclusively for data entry.
With some planning, it may be possible to incorporate both tables into a single invoice page.
OTOH, the ability to lock individual cells on a table seems a likely goal for a Feature Enhancement request. Go to the Application menu ("Numbers") in Numbers, and choose Provide Numbers Feedback. Be prepared to wait until at least the next version of Numbers to see any results.
Regards,
Barry

Unfortunately, once you make the copy, the only way to remap the items that it references is to do it manually.
However, in the extended copy wizard, you do get a chance to keep this from happening at the time the copy is made. By default, as you've learned, the new copy wants to continue to reference the items that the old copy referenced.
But there are two other options, which are selectable for each of the referenced items. The checkmark will be on "Leave" - i.e. leave the references as is. You can check "Copy", which will make a copy of the referenced item and point the reference at the copy. Or you can check "Remap", which will re-map the reference to a different existing item. Remap will lead you to another screen, where you can choose what existing item each remapped item will now reference.
