Creating icon shortcuts in Pages '09

Can the toolbar be modified to add tasks such as “Spell Check” or are you stuck with the 50 or so tasks that already have pre-configured shortcuts? I know this sounds trivial, but this is a major reason I have not shifted to using Pages '09 from Microsoft Word 2008.

Hi jphoya91
Welcome to the forum.
What you see is what you get.
However you are on the Mac and it is time to wean yourself of the Windows' "interface".
Clicking on an enormous range of increasingly difficult to tell apart icons that have to to be lined up in swelling rows on your toolbar is no way to get your work done efficiently.
The Mac has long had mnemonic, mostly consistent keyboard shortcuts for most tasks.
They are worth learning because they are faster to use and once learnt can be used in most applications and circumstances.
If you don't like the keyboard shortcut you are free to change it to what makes sense to you in:
+System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts+

Hi,
I think easiest way is use list.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/nav_list.htm#sthref1856
In each theme there is some list template that shows images.
You can also customize list templates.

Is it possible to create new shortcuts for pages esp footnote

Hi
Is it possible to create shortcuts in Pages? Hidden preferences?
I'd like to have something for inserting footnotes.
Via thirdparty apps?
Thanks for hints

Martin, it's possible to create shortcuts for any menu item in any OS X application. You do this by going to the System Preferences, in the Keyboard and Mouse pane, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. See this posting for more details.
This is an extremely powerful feature of OS X, and it is unfortunate that is it not better known.

Creating Keyboard Shortcuts in Pages '09

I am wanting to create a keyboard shortcut to insert footnotes. Is this possible?

No, you can't assign a short cut for Footnote.

What's that ?
and that :
It doesn't have one from the beginning.
It's really not a problem.
I don't like to change existing shortcuts but adding new ones is really not a problem.
Read carefully the System's Help page dedicated to this subject .

I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3. I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting and I can open other documents, but not this one. Any ideas?

I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3. All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together. I can open other pages documents, but not that one. It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version. I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of. I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.
Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.

Try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

CS4-How to create a shortcut for media browser icon clean up function?

Hi again.
I recently upgraded my system, now running CS4 suite in Window 7 - 64bits. This to be able to manage AVCHD files within premiere.
I'm just starting to work with it and I'm missing the ability to create a shortcut for this function I had in PP2 cs2. I did go to the recommended reading before posing my question. There the most appropriate area I could find was about Bins Behaviours, at least I thought it was, and there was nothing in it.
I have gone to Edit / keyboard customization then each of the 3 choices, application, panels and tools. but could not see "Clean Up"
I hope someone has an answer for me as I like to use this panel as a story board and use this function often and thank those who will try to help me.
(I'm pleased that my avchd files are now coming nicely on the timeline!)_

Is this what you are looking for?

Creating a shortcut of an application on the desktop

Hi,
I've just purchased an ibook G4 running on Mac OS X (10.4.8) from apple and wanted to know how can I create application shortcuts on my desktop? Since I'm familar with Windows and Unix, I'm finding a mac a bit of a mission!
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to discussions apple freak,
You can do what Gnarlodious suggested, and it will work perfectly fine, But you should try out the dock. At default it is located at bottom of the screen (though it can be moved to either side), you can put applications there, folders, and basically anything that it will let you drag onto it. You do not need to create a short cut, or alias (basically the same thing). To place something on your dock simply drag it's icon, and let it drop on the dock. You can also set the dock to hide when your mouse is not over it, and to magnify when you mouse is over it. This is also where documents that are minimized are stored until you open them again. You may already know all (or some) of this, but if you haven't yet tried working with the dock I suggest you try it.

Creating a Shortcut on a Mac Desktop

Hi everyone. I'm sure this has a very simple answer, but me being a newbie to using a
Mac computer, I need some help. I've set up a server for my home network with a
Static IP of 192.168.2.10 .
It was simple to create shortcuts for my computer and my sister's, because I've used
Microsoft since it was DOS, and my sister's is Windows XP. I simply created a shortcut
and then typed in the network address, it being "\\192.168.2.10\Music" in Windows.
But my mom has a Mac, and I need to create an alias (I think it's called) that would lead
to the server from it. I've searched all through the internet, and all I can find is something
to the effect of this:
1. Launch your Finder and look for the program that you want to create the alias for.
2. Highlight this file and select "Make Alias".
3. Drag the Alias to the desktop.
My problem is that there is not an icon displayed that links to the server.
Is there some kind of Properties box where I can manually enter the network path?

Hi,
First off, putting stuff (links/aliases, files, folders) on a Mac Desktop is not good practice, because it leads to some extra work on the CPU, since the Desktop is a folder like others, OS X will index all its content every time your Mom starts her Mac.
This said, the best way to make an alias easy to use is to place it in the Dock via drag-n-drop, not on the Desktop. If placed in the Dock, your alias will always be within reach. All you have to do is locate the server folder you want to share in the Finder, and drag it to rightmost part of the Dock, where there are already some folders such as Applications, Documents, Downloads, etc...
Alternately, you can also create a new Shared item in the left pane of your main Finder window. In the Finder preferences, you can also choose to show all connected servers on the Desktop, which can come in handy too.
You may have to restart the Finder (or reboot the Mac, or just log out and back in) for the latter to take effect.
Oh, I almost forgot: you can also copy and paste the folder in question in the Desktop folder (left pane in the Finder main window), and it'll appear on the Desktop itself.

How can I create a shortcut to launch an external application?

Hello, I'm developing app in Swing where I want to create a shortcut for any external application, I'm able to get the .exe path, and an icon path (in .png format), is there a way to create a "shortcut" or button and assign the icon and the .exe path to run it? This is what I have to get the .exe path:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"" + jTextField2.getText() + "\"");
Where jTextField takes the value from a JFileChooser value, doing the same for the icon, then I could do this for a button to assign the icon:
ImageIcon img1 = new ImageIcon("C:\\image.png");
jButton7.setSize(64, 64);
jButton7.setIcon(img1);
But I havent' found any way to make the button (or any kind of shortcut) to execute the program, I could go and create a method to do it on click or ActionPerformed, but the idea is to do all this when I finish the create the shortcut, I hope you can understand me, I'm kinda confused, so far, I can launch the app but I want to create a new button/shortcut everytime I need to add an external app, thanks in advanced!!!

How to create a shortcut for all users in Win 7 and Win 8?

Hi,
I'll trying to make a script that will create a shortcut in every user profile account in a computer. I stumble upon the script below from
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Create-shortcut-in-your-11cfd3de/view/Discussions#content.
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim objShell
Dim objDesktop
Dim objLink
Dim strAppPath
Dim strWorkDir
Dim strIconPath
strWorkDir ="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15"
strAppPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\ORGCHART.EXE" 'you have to use your URL to Interanet site or path to specific program
'strIconPath = "\\server\Xyz.ico" 'specify the path to the icon please change to your valid path
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'objDesktop = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut("C:\Users\%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk") 'change here To your shortcut name
objLink.Description = "this is a test" 'replaec with your description
'objLink.IconLocation = strIconPath
objLink.TargetPath = strAppPath
objLink.WindowStyle = 3
objLink.WorkingDirectory = strWorkDir
objLink.Save
I did some modifications to cater to my need. Now the question is, how can I make the script create a shortcut for every user profile from the script above?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You could create the shortcut at one machine, then copy it to the target as part of the logon script. Note also that this line contains an error:
"C:\Users\%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk"
It should read:
"%userprofile%\Desktop\Org_chart_test.lnk"

Can't resize firefox so i can drag and drop to create a shortcut

I can't make my Firefox page smaller so I can drag and drop a web site to create a shortcut. I am using windows 7. I have no grippe when i point in the lower right corner. When I use zoom the page itself re sizes but not the window. I just need to see a little of my desktop so I can create a shortcut.

Could it be, you are in full-screen mode? Press F11 to check it: if you are indeed in the fulöl-screen mode, the FX window will resize and you should be able to grp the lower right corner for resizing.
Let us know if it helped.

With FireFox as my default browser, I create a shortcut on the desktop as per instructions in 'help' but when I click on the shortcut it opens in a browser which is not even running.

Make absolutely certain that FireFox is designated as your default browser.
Do this: Tools / Options / Advanced / Check Now / correct the setting
OR right click on any shortcut icon / Open With / Choose Default Program / select desired Browser / check Always... box / OK

Look like you are an Oracle employee. In this case you should post your question on an internal forum and not on the public OTN forum.
