Color of background for comments in Pages

In Pages 09, the default color for all comments is a yellow background. Is it possible to change that? Could one have multiple comments that use different colors for backgrounds, so that it is easier to mach the comment in the side box with the marked words in the text of the document? If not, I think this would be a nice addition.

Found it by using the search function in this forum.

How can I use an image as background for the entire page?

With CSS mill, the solid color was defined in the color.X.property file and there is no place to define an image to use as the background? Is it doable to use an image as the background for teh entire page? If so, where to add it and how to implement? Thank you!

While I have been able to add the image to a JLabel and insert it into frames, so that it looks like a suitable background, I have found it impossible to place any other component over the top of said imageDid you set a layout manager for the label?

Color or background image of a page

Hi all.
We want to have multiple pages with different color or background image in our portal.
Via the theme editor it is possible to assign either a color or an image on the background of the portal body but that only gives us one look to choose from.
We have tried creating our own page layout with a specific background image but it does not work through the portal (it works fine doing a preview of the page though).
Has any of you had the same challenge wanting different backgrounds on the portal pages and found a usable solution?
PS!
Portal version is EP6 NW04 SP12.
Thanks in advance.

I think what you want is a nice clean strip that runs the width of the page that you can place tabs on top of. To give it a really professional look. We wanted the same effect but there is no easy way. I ended up making a background image for the page with a small stripe about an 1" from the top of the page that ran the width of the page. Then when the page is rendered, the tabs appear on top of the strip. That was our workaround.

How do I change the author's name for comments in Pages?

I am a long time Microsoft Word user and am currently testing out Pages for the first time.
Something that is extremely vital to me in my line of work is the ability to track changes and add comments to the documents.
I have found how to do this in Pages with ease, but when it initially asked me whether I wanted to allow Pages to access my comments I had the thought "why do you need to access that?" and denied it. I then clicked past the option to change the name by mistake.
Since then I have not been able to find any way to reverse what I have done, the best I can find is to change the colour that I am commenting with. I want my comments to have my name rather than "author".
If someone knows how to change this can you please let me know.
Thanks

Never mind, after spending ages seaching I finally found it.
For those that may be interested, it can be changed in the under Pages > Preferences
Thanks

Can I change the background color view for SPECIFIC web pages with Safari?

I cannot read Netflix red background webpages without getting a headache/eyestrain. I know other browsers allow me to override the pages' colors but will safari allow me to specify all pages from for instance "www.netflix.com"; to have a white background while letting other pages display colors as they were created?
Will any browser do this?
It would be a cool feature.

There may be a way of doing this using CSS. In Safari's preferences under 'Advanced' there is the option to choose a user defined style sheet. I have used this since Safari came out to not display ads in Safari, and it may be well possible to use it to change certain styles (depending on page code).

Change color of Comments in Pages

I want to change the color/shading of each comment in a pages document. I would like changing the color of the comment to change the shading of the comment's anchor, its bubble and the line between the two.
Is this possible today? If not, how about an enhancement!
Thanks!
Rodger

Rodger,
You can change the color of the text you type into the comment bubble and you can even add a paragraph fill color to the background, but it won't change the yellow outlining in the comment bubble or the anchor.
While I appreciate you investing me with the power to enhance Pages, you'll have to leave feedback for the Pages development team if you want to make them aware of your feature requests.

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. I just download the recent trail version of Iworks and install it. The first document I opened it was ok. When I open the second one the problem appear again and stayed. Pls help

This behavior was described many times.
In every occurrence,the operating system was an uncompleted one resulting of the use of Software Update to update the operating system to 10.6.2, 10.6.3, 10.6.4, 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7.
In such cases, the solace was to apply a combo updater.
As you are using 10.6.7, download and apply the combo 10.6.7 :

After that, run Software Update which will urge you to apply :

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

In Pages, how can I set a background for the whole document?

I tend to regard Pages as more of a page layout program than a simple word processor, so I use it for stuff containing graphics as well as text. Now I want to put a kind of frame around every page in the document, and I want this frame to be effectively a background for everything else, with it being my responsibility for the remainder of the material to stay in the frame. I can't see any feature that allows this apart from Headers and Footers, and as far as I can see, these are not supposed to occupy the whole page, just the top and bottom.
Can anyone give a good technique for configuring a background in this way?
TIA

This forum has helped me to partially answer my own question, in that I see now that I want to create a template with a section master that contains my graphic. But when I tried to do this, the menus for making a graphic (in my case a grouped item) part of a section master just didn't work. I am trying to follow the Help page "Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images), but so far I can't get the menus to undim.
Can anyone help?

Background image for BPF web page

Hi all,
I'm building a web page that shows a BPF. I would like to set an image as backgroung for this web page.
In the BPC help I have read that the image should be located in /webfolders/<appset>AppSetPublications\BPFBackground folder on the server.
Does anyone know how to upload there the image? The only way I see is using BPC for excel, but it only allows to upload excel files, no images.
Thanks and regards,
Ana

Hi Ana,
You will have to add a new webpage in BPC Web content library.
Using the BPF object in the webpage, you can select your BPF and can also add the respective background image to it.
Hope this helps you.

Nithya

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.
