Delete a "page" within pages

I am desperate to delete several pages within a saved Pages document. The problem is: it appears all my pages are "merged" or something. When I click "View - Page Thumbnails" the thumbsnails do appear on the left. However, I cannot select ONE page to delete. Whenever I attempt to click on ONE page it selects all of them. There is a bold yellow line that wraps around all of the pages preventing me from deleting one.
So I attempted to delete manually by going into the document and selecting the text. However, that ultimately selects the design aspects and then it deletes the designs on every single page throughout the document.
HELP! It can't be that **** hard to delete something.
Thanks.

Select and delete the content of the pages and the document will shrink accordingly. You don't actively add pages when you write in the document (in Word Processing documents that is) nor do you have to delete "pages". just delete the content you don't want just like when you delete one word you don't want.
With adding section break you are at risk at getting blank or near blank pages if you add content to a section.

  • Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel

    running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel

    Hello march67,
    Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
    We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
    We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
    Sorry for the trouble.
    Thanks,

  • Is there any way to do pages within pages?

    This is the best way I can describe what I'm trying to do.  I am creating an 8.5"x11 manual.  Each page is broken into 4 separate squares (cards? tiles?), each with content about a particular product my company sells.  The manual is in alpahabetical order, so when I have to insert a new product, I end up having to move around every tile that comes after it.  I was wondering if there was any way to set up those tiles to behave like pages in InDesign, where I could just create a new one, and all of the others would automatically make room, by moving down the page and onto the next.
    I have done them with a Data Merge before, but that seems needlessly difficult.  I should also mention that I have other content on the page instead of just the cards, so I can't just have the pages be the size of the tiles and print 4 to a 8.5" x 11" page.

    The short answer is no. What you can do is create a flow using linked text boxes and then insert elements into this.

  • How to skip to a new page within Pages?

    This always used to work with ''Ctrl + Enter'', but now i've upgraded to the newest Pages, this doesn't work anymore, this is actually driving me mad and i can't find anywhere how to skip to a new page.. this is really anoying when working with big files where i have to change things on certain pages.
    Thx in advance

    Pages 5.1 is a bug - ridden disaster lacking about 100 features present in Pages 09. There are many complaints of data loss, corrupted Filene, docs that can't be opened etc.  do not use it for any serious work. Pages 09 should still be on your system. Use that instead

  • Nesting pages within pages?

    I really like iWeb. Already I have redesign my .Mac homepage and created a new podcast site. However, I can't find any way to nest pages. In other words, I want to have a Photos page, and then put various albums inside that page. I dont want a new photos page for every set of photos. Rather, I want the top navigation to show Home About Photos Movies, Etc. Then when you click on Photos, you have options as to which albums you want to view. I am at a loss right now as to how to do that.
    I suppose there are workarounds like publish a photo cast and then create a link to them...but that's not really what I had in mind.
    Any ideas?

    hi Randy,
    You can try it this way...
    -Highlight the Album page in the left hand column of iWeb
    -Go to view>show inspector in the menu bar
    -In the inspector window click on the second icon for "page"
    -uncheck the box that says "include page in navigation menu"
    -do this for each album page
    On your Photo album menu page:
    -Click the "T" in the toolbar to add a text box
    -Drag the text box to where you want it and resize it
    -double click in the box and type your album name
    -now highlight the text and go to Insert>hyperlink>webpage
    -The inspector will change to the Link menu
    -check "enable as hyperlink"
    -In the drop down menu, go to "one of my pages"
    -choose the page and the hyperlink will be added
    -do this for each album page
    Example:
    http://web.mac.com/loridilo/iWeb/

  • Simple button action that goes to a page within the same doc

    I can't figure this out. I have a button I want to use that takes a person back to the first, or second page of the same doc. It's a catalog section with a table of contents. I need to make links for the pdf that takes people to certain pages within the same document.
    In the Buttons panel, I see how to make the button, but when I assign an action, the only choice that makes sense is "Go To Destination", but I don't get or see any way to choose "page 2" of the document, or another selection method.
    I did this before a few years ago on hundreds of pages, and when I open those old documents up to copy/paste the same buttons, they don't even appear to have actions on them anymore, as if it never happened.
    So, what's the secret? Certainly there's a way to link to another page in the same ID file, no?

    Finally figured it out. I do NOT use the button panel at all. No buttons needed. Just select the grouped object that I want for my button, and hit the "add hyperlink" button in the Hyperlink panel. Then choose "Page" from the menu that opens up and be on my way. What was throwing me for a bad loop, was that I had copied and pasted the button graphic form another document. Well, since the link made previously was broken now, I had the red flag in the Hyperlinks panel...and thus, the "new hyperlink" button was greyed out, sending me in circles. The minute I deleted the old hyperlink it carried over from the old document, the new hyperlink button worked again and all was well.
    Thanks.

  • How do I delete an empty icon page on my iPhone

    I have somehow inserted an empty icon page ahead of my normal first page of icons on my iPhone 5. iTunes shows the page at the end of the others, but even after syncing, the empty page is at the beginning, ahead of my search page. Does anyone know how to delete an empty icon page from the iPhone 5? It is so illogical to me that it can't be done from within iTunes by just hitting the Delete key, the way you'd expect it to work!
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings -> icloud and then you should see your icloud id, scroll to the bottom and select delete account, you are then able to add your new one.
    Hope it helps

  • How to delete duplicate templates in pages 09?

    I want to delete duplicate templates from "My Templates" but can't.  Tried to drag them to the trash bin but they won't budge.  Can't find a delete command on the menu bar, either.

    You can't delete templates or any file from within Pages, it's done from Finder. Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

    IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

    From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).

  • Can I use CreatePDF to switch around the pages within a single pdf document that scanned wrong?

    I understand CreatePDF would allow me to combine documents into a single pdf file.  But, (1) can I move around (switch/correct the order of) pages within a single PDF file?  (2) Can I delete pages from a single file or a combined file?  (3) Once created, can I edit the file in any way?  If these services were available, I would likely subscribe.  I don't want to subscribe without knowing.

    Thanks for your reply.  Pardon my ignorance. Acrobat would allow me to move pages around?

  • How to Change the order or location of pages within Chapters

    I am using the iBook Author very often. Right now I'm confronted with the problem, that I want to change the sequence of Pages WITHIN Chapters.
    Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
    Let's say you have a book with 10 Chapters and decide afterwards, to take 2 Chapters to be part of new Section (which is in new Chapter).
    So the questions are:
    1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
    2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
    3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
    ... hope someone has the solution

    >Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
    I'd like to caution your that such non-liner editing can be a quick way to corrupt a book, so try to resist doing that as much as possible.
    So the questions are:
    1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
    2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
    3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
    You can only copy/paste content from one page's content into another in those examples, either by replacing existing content, or by inserting a blank page in the new target location and then deleting the source page when done.

  • Report Row With Detail (IFRAME) - How to reload Main Page within iFrame

    Hi,
    Based on Carl's example - Report Row With Detail (IFRAME), i.e:
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:17
    Within my scenario, I have a button within the iframe section of my report that calls a pl/sql process that performs some database processing.
    What I basically need is a means of performing a page refresh of the main page, when this button within the iframe is pressed. In Carl's example, that would be page 17.
    As mentioned, I call a PL/SQL process within the iframe, but unsure how to then refresh the main page - parent page.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Tony.

    Tony,
    you could insert the following script to the region footer of a region located on your "iframe"-page.
    <script>
    parent.location.reload();
    </script>
    But this is dangerous because everytime the parent is being reloaded, the iframe is loaded, too. Risk of loop...
    A possible solution is to conditionally display a html region (with the script) on your iframe-page basing on a request. You could post the request as a result after your plsql processing in a branch.
    Regards,
    Jens

  • How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

    How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.
