Creating business cards in Pages with background image

I am trying to use the Pages business card template and background image function of pages to create a business card that has an image on every business card on the sheet. I can't seem to find out how to do that. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jim

Here is the basic method of having white text on a colored background: Insert a shape. While selected go to the Graphic Inspector and select a Fill color. Re-proportion the shape as needed. Insert a text box (or boxes) and type your text. Drag it (them) over the shape and change the color of the text to white (or any other color you desire). Select all and group. Duplicate as needed. Apply this procedure to your business cards or anywhere else.
Another method for applying a colored background to a text box: select the text box and Fill it from the Graphics Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin in the Text Inspector.

Info on creating business cards in pages

In creating business cards using pages, how do copy and paste? Doesn't seem to work as normal.

Fruhulda,
I was too impatient to wait for your solution and finally figured it out for myself. But I came up with a different method of dragging the one master card to the other blocks and that was by using the "option" key on the Apple key board. Apparently, it does the same as Cm + D. It's strange that we can't just copy and paste as normal.
It's a shame too that we don't have a "how to do things" directory for our keyboard.
But I want to say thanks for being a good Samaritan out there willing to help people like me and Samdelrussi.
Have a good Holiday Season.

ADF mobile: page with background image

Hi,
Jdev 11.1.2.3.0 + mobile extension.
I want to have a background image on my amx page and used following code:
<amx:panelPage id="pp1"
inlineStyle='background-image:url("../background-land.png"); background-repeat:no-repeat;'>
I have created this inlineStyle using the property editor where one can browse the file location --> the image location is correct.
But at runtime I do not see any background image.
Any hints what's wrong ?
regards
Peter

Hi,
Can anyone please elaborate above statement with a code snippet.
I want to set background image for all amx pages in my mobile application.
Thank you in advance.

FF36: Sites with background image flickers/flashes when going back to tab after 2 minutes.

Figure I'll mention this here as well.
When viewing websites with background images, such as twitter.com or my own website at www.markheadrick.com and I change to another tab for 2 minutes (this amount of time is repeatable anyway) I get a flicker of a black background before the page is fully drawn. If I have multiple tabs with the same background image, only the first tab will show the flicker. It's like it's loosing the image in memory or something. It has done this with Firefox in Safe Mode and with a new, clean profile. It has also done this with Hardware Acceleration off.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit w/ NVidia 550ti and 314.22 drivers. Newer drivers are more problematic which is why I have stayed with these.
Again, only pages with background images seem to show this flicker. Did not happen with Firefox 35 on my system.
I created a bug for it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137082
Thanks,

Business Cards in Pages

I am trying to make business cards in pages, and have one done. I would like to have the rest the same, and copying and pasting all the parts is too time intensive

Hi Sweetpea,
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank Canvas
This is portrait format. The canvas will allow you to place and move Text Boxes (it mimics a drawing app).
Menu > Insert > Text Box. Create one business card.
Menu > View > Show Layout. Drag the Text box to just inside the margin (grey fill):
With the Text Box selected, Menu > Edit > Copy (command c). Then Paste and drag the second business card to the right. The blue alignment guide will help you. Now two business cards:
Select both and Menu > Arrange > Group. Copy then Paste. Drag the copy down and paste repeatedly until you fill a page. Dragging the first pasted pair sets the spacing for subsequent pastes.
Regards,
Ian.

How to create Business cards in Iphoto

Hi There:
Would anybody know if it is possible to create business cards in Iphoto. If not any ideas. Thank you.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You need a layout program like pages or pagemaker or InDesign

PDF printing of web-pages WITH background?

How do I make it possible to have the background image/pattern/colour etc. of a web-page included when I "print" to PDF?
Whenever I print a web page with something in the background other than white it's missing in the PDF file. This happens in my daily-use browser (Seamonkey), but also in Safari. However, in iCab (http://www.icab.de/) the background is included in the PDF file, so at least it's possible in MacOS. I just can't find any settings for it.

Yes, this worked! Thanks!
Another neat trick I found is that you can save the different settings. Just go to the "presets" part of the print menu, then save the current setting. For example by naming it "PDF printing with background".
Then turn off the background colour/image/pattern and save it as a new preset (e.g. "Print (to paper)").
That way you don't need to waste lots of ink, but at the same time you'll get the complete web-page with background and all when you save it as a PDF file. Just remember to select the right preset before you "print".

Creating a list in Pages with hierarchy

How do you create a list in Pages with hierarchy?

Hierarchy is just a matter of indent levels.
Pages works by example so having set up the initial one level list, hit a return after one of the points and tab to move to the next level.
Then apply settings in:
Format > Text > Bullets & Lists > to each level if it isn't already an indented List
You can save the final set of hierarchical list as a List Style for reuse.

Hmmm,
I don't want to be the one to put you off. I'm in over my head too but I really enjoy the pain of grappling with Dreamweaver. It isn't really for the novice user and unlike any other app I know, it will be of greater benefit to those who have some knowledge of the underlying languages it deals with. i.e. HTML, CSS and some others. Strangely, I also hear from people that know the coding well, that they don't like/use/need Dreamweaver.
If you only want one site, and don't really need to wrench your own unique identity from what you are doing, why not look at a free site from Wordpress.com? I am sure you can use your own domain, and as you get proficient at it, you can expand what's there by paying for it.
Just a thought

Create custom web-part page with OOTB page layout using CSOM (Javascript)

Hi,
I need to create a custom webpart page with a OOTB page layout (eg. Header 3 column footer) using JSOM.
I found a link to do this using CSOM: http://spdevlab.com/2013/03/28/creating-wiki-web-part-and-publishing-pages-via-csom-in-sharepoint-2010/
But here i have to copy the page template from 15 hive and store it in a resource file and I am also getting error as "The request message is too big" and to fix this I need to run a powershell script but I need the code to run in SharePoint online
also.
Isn't there a simpler piece of code in which I can enter the name of the page layout(OOTB/Custom) while creating a page in JSOM as we have in SSOM?
Thanks for the help

How do I add a business card to a signature without image

Hi everyone,
Please forgive me if the answer is here, but I could not find it.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and Outlook 2010. I’d like to add a Business Card (vCard) to be included with my signature but this also adds an image of it in my signature which I do not want.
Is there any way to create my signature with the vCard attachment but without the image of it? I found an article that looked promising, but I could never get it to work.
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/487
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Terry

Save your signature with vCard and exit Outlook.
in htm file in Signatures directory find above sentence and delete it.
<v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:187.5pt; height:112.5pt'>
<v:imagedata src="Kind_of_signature/image001.jpg" o:title=" "/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=250 height=150
src="Kind_of_signature/image001.jpg" v:shapes="_x0000_i1025">
Sentence: Kind_of_signature can be deferent for you.

Trying to create index cards in pages

Hello,
I am trying to create a 3x5 flash card template to study, and can't find an easy way to set this up on Pages. I need to make about 150 double-sided cards with text on the front, and text wrapped around a small picture on the back. So I need to create an efficient system to plug in data as well as a picture for all of these items. I've tried several things so far:
1) Create a blank document 8.5x11 landscape orientation, then pull the guides down to fit 4 cards on a page. I would then ideally enter the info, print double-sided, then cut with a paper cutter. This formatting works fine for the first page, but I can't seem to replicate this page or the guides onto subsequent pages (guides can't be made to master objects I guess). If I try to select all 4 text boxes, copy, then paste them into the next page they for some strange reason scale down in size, so I lose the dimensions and placement of the boxes.
2) Create a brand new template with aforementioned guides and text boxes. And again, when I tried this I couldn't get the page and formatting to be replicated to subsequent pages. When I made the text boxes into master objects to try and achieve this, all text I enter into them gets replicated into every subsequent box, which is not what I need because I need unique text on each card.
3) Create a 3x5 page size document, which works ok but I cannot get a placeholder image to be replicated to subsequent pages. That means I need to drag the pictures on and format them one by one, which is again time-consuming. This is also tricky because I need to find a printer that handle printing directly onto index cards, which is a little specialized compared to printing on standard letter paper.
I've also searched the forums and google to try and find add-ons or shareware that can do this, but haven't come up with anything!
This is weird because surely I am not the only student who wants to create index cards on the computer rather than by hand! Please help..my final is next week..
Thank you.

Try to "capture" your first page thru the menu Format > Advanced > Capture Pages"
Then you will be able to insert a new page with the defined attributes from the menu entitled "Sections" in the toolbar.
