Creating a Continuous table in Pages

I am a designer, so exuse my ignorance of Pages, I hardly ever use it... I am setting up a template for myself... It is a table and will be sevaral pages long. Depending on the project it could be from 20-80 pages long... This is a dual language setup (Arabic/English in this case)... What I would like to be able to do, is to get to the end of the page, hit return and continue the table on the next page (header in place).... what I can easily do now, is to get to the end; stop; duplicate the page; clear the text and start over on the new page. Problem is, if I need to add more information to a page above it will just try to add rows to the bottom of that page, not flow to next page. I tried to check the Inline box in the Wrap Inspector, but it is grayed out.... as is Text Link in the Text Box area.... Is my only option to remove the table and just have text? In the past I have used InDesign, but this is not working for sending overseas to get Translations added to the document.... Thanks for any input....

"Is there a way to have two headers? One on left justified and one right justified?"
Layout Inspector > Section
Check Left and Right Pages are different.
Footer for page 1 and Header for page 2 are shown. Enter the format and content for Right pages onto any odd numbered page in the section. Enter the format and content for Left pages on any even numbered page in the section.
EDIT) Pages are stacked as I neglected to check Facing pages in the document Inspector. Using that checkmark allows setting "inside" and "outside" margins (in place of "left" adn "right" margins.

Error when trying to create 2 Forms on same page on 2 tables with ID as PK

Hi all,
here's the error message I get: "ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Error page=1 item="P1_ID" id="509501514227854745" ORA-20001: Error page=1 item="P1_ID" id="509501514227854745" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion"
What am I trying to do:
I try to create 2 forms on the same page, each one based on tables that have PK column named "ID".
From what I understand, HTML DB is trying to create for both forms the same "P1_ID" (P[no_page]_[column_name], right ?) hidden item in order to keep the value of the pk column...
I think this is not right...what do you think ?
Thanks,
Andrei

You cannot use multiple automated row fetch or automated DML processes on the same page where any table column names are in common between them.

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

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.

Creating long articles that continue to next page

What is the best way to create a news page where the articles may be long and continue to "next page " or 1,2,3
within MUSE
I am trying to trick the blank composition, but wonder if Iframe would work better with a small sized frame?
or inserting a php which I'm not sure about......
Anyone else have articles that "continue" to next page within a frame/box/div/ without leaving the overall structure?
Thanx
David

Hey Dave,
What you can do is just fill a webpage with content until you want it to goto the next page, duplicate the page and add the rest of the content. Then at the bottom just add a number navigation or 'Back page / Next page' buttons. It is bascially what a blog does except you won't have database and PHP to automatically populate pages, you will just do it manually.

Help! Using "Create" action in insert jsp page vs in submission page.

This is regarding creating a new record using data TAGS:
I'm in a dilemma as to whether I should use the data source tag <jbo:Row id="myrow" datasource="iss_vo1" action="Create">
in my first jsp page ( which accepts input from a user) or in the 2nd jsp page (which does the actual commit).
If I actually create the view record n the first page itself then I get into all kinds of problems if the user decides against saving the record and backs out.[because there is a null hanging record out there]
But if I don't use it, then I am unable to use my LOVs in the html form.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Currently I have used the data source tag
<jbo:Row id="myrow" datasource="iss_vo1" action="Create">
in my first JSP page.
Below is my complete source code for both the JSP pages:
Source Code for iss_add.jsp:
======================
Please note that in this JSP , it creates a new record and then the user has to click on the "SAVE" button (which calls another jsp "iss_add_post.jsp") to save the changes. But what if the user does not click on the save BUTTON and instead click on the "back" tab. This is where all the problem occurs. How do I get rid of this problem?
If I try to just use an HTML form without creating a record in this page then how will I use the LOVs?

I can't actually see any LOV's on your first page so I am not completely sure that I understand your situation. However if you are talking about using the InputSelectLOV datatag, there is no reason why you cannot use that within a html form, without having to create a record in the RowSet.
The Insert page is by default created without any datasources - just a standard HTML form. The form is submitted and the InsertSubmit page reads the values from the request object, matches the parameter names with your VO attribute names and does your create.
Your LOV data will be coming from another table so doing a Row tag Create on your Insert page won't make any difference to it. Have I misunderstood something here? I have used LOV's on my Insert pages and I definitely have not created a row in the Rowset anywhere but the Submit pages.
There is a problem on both Edit and Insert pages whereby if there are no rows in the table for which you have a datasource defined you can get problems, but it doesn't sound as though that is your problem. Maybe I need some more information from you?

How do I get a table in Pages to extend across pages?

Every time I create a table in Pages, it's fine until it needs to continue to the next page. The table does not go to the next page it just disappears. Help!

Cells will not split in Pages.
You should be able to organise your layout without using tables, not that tables are bad pre se, just that they are not an option here.
If this is important to you, try LibreOffice [free].

Tables in Pages working properly.

Hello Apple Support Community. I need your help.
About the document: I've created the document in Pages 09 using Word Processing layout, and added a table with table headers and footers, used the Wrap inspector and ensured my table is set to "Inline".
I have two issues:
1. Issue: A table in my document does not extend on to a second page, instead the entire table moves to its own page. Desired Result: The table headers continue on to page two, and I can keep adding rows to my table where it uses the table footer to calculate the total at the end of my table.
2. Issue: The table "object placement" is set to inline, however I can not get the curser to move below the table, instead the table responds as if it's floating and I have to keep hitting enter to get the curser to move below the table. Desired Result: I want my curser to move below the table without adding extra 'returns'
Hope you can help me resolve this. Thank you.

I really wish you would not have taken this offline and never come back. This is the exact issue I am having. My table is set to "inline" but all the text that should be below the table comes up and overprints on the table. If I set it to "floating" the text move down because of the text wrap on the table, but it makes editing the text a real pain in the butt.
If you could follow up here for the rest of us that are finding this thread as a top search on Google, it would be much appreciated.
What is the resolution?

The table when it is inline has all the attributes of text. In your case you need to change your line spacing and it would seem add a return after the table with maybe some space before.

Insert Numbers Table Into Pages

Is there an equivalent to the "Past-Special" command found in MS Word/Excel? I want to link a Numbers table into a Pages document and have the Pages document automatically change when the Numbers table is changed.

Hi, I think there might be some misleading information about this.
You can highlight a table in Numbers, copy, then paste it into your Pages document. It moves and resizes like an image, and you can directly edit any cell in the table. You can add rows, columns, etc the way you can if you create a table through Pages. The functions all remain the same and change automatically as you change the information.
While you may not be able to link so that changes in one program affect the other, I find I don't need it to change in both very often. If it ever does become an issue, I just copy/paste whichever is "complete" into the other and continue.
Hope it helps!
(Incidentally, you can do the same thing to take tables created in Pages and put them into Numbers)

Creating automatic sequential lists in Pages for iOS

Maybe I'm crazy, but I am having difficulties with creating lists that work in Pages for iOS.
I am a teacher, and I have been trying to use my iPad in the classroom more. I have been trying to make simple multiple-choice review quizzes using Pages.
It seems that when I create a new list, the numbering works fine. 1, 2, 3,... No problems. When I try to add an indent with A, B, C,...etc., the number I had completely reverts to the 1. It doesn't continue to keep the sequence. And I have no control over what number comes next like on the desktop version. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Thanks.

Tables in Pages are actually spreadsheets and would appear to be your best choice.
To create a sequence of numbers input two, one after the other in adjacent cells, select both and pull down the small white dot in the bottom right corner of the selection. This will generate a continuing sequence. It is quite clever and works for all sorts of number patterns, days of the week, months, years etc.
The spreadsheet can calculate your VAT etc.
If you don't want them in a spreadsheet you can export them as text.

Table Overflow - Page Break - Multiple tables in Body page in Adobe forms

Hi,
I have to do a payslip in Adobe forms. I am using only Adobe for print forms.
Please redirect me to correct category if this is wrong category.
I am customizing standard form PYXXFO_SAP_PAYSLIP_IN01. (payslip for india through hrforms)
The standard form is entirely positional. So, if the contents of the table overflow, they are overwritten on the contents below.
So, I have to make corrections to adjust the payslip for table overflows.
My changes:
1. There are total 8 tables in form. I created content areas for each of them and assigned the subforms/tables to those content areas.
2. I converted the body page from positional to flowed, and applied the related pagebreak settings.
The problem I am facing:
When the earnings table overflows, the rest of the content is displayed on second page, in a continuous manner.
eg.
The structure of the form is:
Header details
earnings table   deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
now, if the earnings table overflows -
page 1:
Header details
earnings table (page break)
Page2:
(continued)earnings table
page3:
(continued)earnings table   deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
In this, the deduction table and form16 table is shown on 3rd page. I wish to show them on the first page as they have not overflown.
I am sure, I am missing something very small, but I am unable to understand what.
I tried all the possible combinations.
Does the main subform needs to be "positional"?
They way I expect it is:
page 1:
Header details
earnings table (page break)    deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
Page2:
{Header details - It would be great if I could have this}
(continued)earnings table
page3:
{Header details}
(continued)earnings table
Also, If this is successful, I would like to apply the same feature to rest 6-7 tables.

This was a duplicate question.
Kindly remove this thread if possible.
The solution for this thread is as follows:
I was sort of hoping that there should be some standard functionality available for this, it being Adobe, but there is not.
So, I had to run a work around. Quite a lengthy one.
What the problem was:
I needed to print around 4-5 tables adjacent to each other in single page and in verticals. What Adobe does is: it fills 1st table, then 2nd then 3rd and so on. So, if there is a page break due to large entries in the adobe, the contents breaks with rest of the tables being blank, but the content being filled sequentially.
What I did was:
I created a grand table with the structure having all the tables embedded in it. eg.
data: begin of grand_table occrs 0,
table_A type table_a_table_type,
table_B type table_b_table_type,
table_c type table_c_table_type,
end of grand_table.
Hence, I could include all the data in a one single grand table, and put the data in sequential manner.

Saving Tables in Pages '08

Hi,
I hoped that someone may be able to help with this. I wondered whether it was possible to create a table that could be saved and inserted simply into documents. I have created a 'template' table, i.e. inserted a table into a pages document and added some text headings and formatted the size etc, but this is a table I would like to continuously reuse throughout the document.
Is there anyway to save this as the default 'insert table' or something along those lines? It would make my life a lot easier!
Thanks

You can create a default table style for a document & then save the document as a template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & it will be available in the Template Chooser. If you want, you can set that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.

Table in pages need text in a column to carryover to next page.

I created a table in pages and as I type, I have exceeded the length of the column. The text is hidden, how do I get it to carry over to the next page. I tired "insert" but the split column option is not available........ thank you

Problem described and answered several times.
A cell can't cross pages boundaries.
