Changing the 100% zoom in Pages.

When I look at my document at 100% zoom it is quite small and not the actual size of the real paper. Is there any way to fix this?

You have not said in your tagline but I assume you have a laptop.
Screen resolution on the Mac is determined to be 72 pixels per inch, but if you have a smaller high resolution screen, that can make objects look smaller than they are because there are far more pixels per inch than 72.
All the can do is make a known size object say 2" square or 10cm square, increase the zoom until it is actually that size and use that as your standard view.
If you changed your screen resolution to an actual 72 pixels per inch you would have a relatively coarse view of your work and a much smaller area on the screen.
This problem exists for all computers and all software, you simply get used tom seeing things scaled and not actual size.

  • How do you change the print zoom of a webpage for printing?

    I would like to know how to change the print zoom (the zoom of a page on the paper when it is printed) of a webpage for printing. I used to always do this when I had Mozilla Firefox on a Windows XP computer but ever since I got Mozilla Firefox on a Windows 7 computer, I could not do it. When I go to "File", there is no "Page setup" or "Print preview"; it just shows you the print preview and only allows you to alter the print, number of pages and copies, the layout, the colour and the zoom of the page (physical size of the whole page on the screen). I would be very grateful if anyone could solve this problem. Many thanks.

    orange Firefox button ''(or File, by hitting the Alt key to reveal the Menu Bar)'' > Print -> Print Preview ''(or Page Setup)''
    Adjust the '''Scale''' in the Print Preview window.

  • How do I change the default zoom for New Tab only?

    The New Tab zoom in Firefox 33 is too high to see all 12 of my thumbnails. I changed it using ctrl- but the next time I opened a New Tab, the zoom was back at 100%. How do I change the default zoom for New Tab only?

  • Can I change the background on each page of the iPad?

    I know how to set home screen and lock screen, but was wondering if there is a way to change the background to each page on the iPad. I am a teacher and would like each page to have a background set to a specific picture or word so my students know which page they use on a particular day. Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through it?

    No - you can only have one background picture which applies to all homescreens

  • How do I change the default color in pages.

    How do I change the default color in pages.  Everytime I try to copy and paste a passage, I am unable to do so because it seems that the ink is always white on white.  Sometimes I am lucky and can change it using the color box in the format bar, but it's a rarity when I'm able to do it.

    What version of Pages & what version of OS X are you using?
    A problem with an early Software Update for Snow Leopard caused a lot of problems. The problem is not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind.
    If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 (or '08 if that's what you're using) folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • How do I change the colour of a page in Pages without using a floating shape or text box?

    I want to change the colour of a page in Pages without having to stretch out a floating coloured shape or using a text box to write the text in. I have been stretching shapes and using text boxes for years but surely there is an simpler and more elegant way to do this? Plus, I want to be able to type several pages of continuous text and not have to split the text up into multiple text boxes. Any help most welcome.

    There are a whole lot more really essential features missing in Pages than this.

    You can find many themes at https://github.com/hdoria/xcode-themes  There's a download zip button on the right side of the page.
    Unzip and and copy the .dvtcolortheme files into /Users/YourUsername/Library/Developer/XCode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
    If you can't find the Library directory you can get to it by using Finder's "Go to Folder..." option under "Go" or press shift + cmd + G then type the path.

  • Ask your question.How do I change the template for a pages document

    How do I change the template for a pages document?

    Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
    If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
    The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

  • How do you change the language in iPad Pages?

    How do you change the language in iPad Pages? I tried lookin for it but I can't find it.

    What a lot of confusion in this discussion!
    The language of a text is a property of the text itself. If the keyboard or the language of the OS of the computer is changes afterwards, the language of the text remains what it was.
    Only at the moment when text is typed the keyboard settings may be used to identify the language. If you are able to imagine a text composed of sentences in different languages you should be able to understand this.
    Changing the keyboard in order to change the spellckeck only works at the moment of typing. With texts written earlier it is meaningless.
    When I import a document written in German on my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, Pages on iPhone and iPad do niot recognise that the text is German. The spelling checker underlines everything. And what people complain about here is that we do not find the place where to tell Pages that the existing, imported text is written in a certain language.
    Please stop mixing this up with keyboard issues!

  • Change the data selection tab page in an InfoPackage

    Hi SDN Community,
    Is it possible to have an Infopackage and change the data selection tab page ? Because  I would like to know if  I can change the select-options by a parameter.
    For example: Now you can enter 01.01.1950 as the start date and 31.12.9999 as the end date,
                          I only want that the user enter the start date.
    Thanks a lot,
    best regards.
    Ana

    Yes, I tried an abap routine option and the result is not good because the user can't put the information in the low (start date) parameter.
    Thanks
