Deleted pages move instead of being REmoved

In my current document, I have Preface and Acknowledgements spreads that I'd like to get rid of. I'm using a template from another site that's setup for a specific book size, so since I didn't set up the document myself I'm not really super familiar with InDesign. When I highlight the spreads as shown in the screenshot and click Delete Spreads, it will remove the pages, but it takes the content from them and moves them down, changing the spreads from viii-ix, x-xi to viii-1, 2-3. The first chapter starts on page 1, where it should, and I'd like to remove these 2 spreads and keep everything else where it is. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

It sounds like the text in frames on those pages is threaded into the same story as the body of your book. For someone with no ID experience, the easiest thing is to just delete the text you don't want from those frames after you remove the spreads (removing threaded frames does not remove the text inside them).

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.

  • (php) Delete being performed on page load instead of on submit-button click

    I'm building a Delete Record page in PHP using Dreamweaver's server behaviors, following the instructions in the DW Help.
    It's working - except the delete seems to be happening upon delete-carpet.php being loading, without the Submit button on that page being clicked.
    I have a page (choose.php) which allows the user to locate the record he wants to delete. Clicking on that link is supposed to take him to the Delete page (delete-carpet.php), which I built following the directions in the DW Help.
    I can see that the URL parameter is being passed, and in fact, the delete is successful. BUT, the Delete page itself, with the hidden form field and server behavior, doesn't even appear - only the "success" page that it re-directs to.
    In other words, when I click the "Delete" link, which looks like this:
    <a href="delete-carpet.php?carpet_id=<?php echo $row_GetCarpets['carpet_id']; ?>
    I thought that I should be getting a URL like this:
    delete-carpet.php?carpet_id=9
    But instead, I get this:
    success.php?carpet_id=9
    It seems to be just performing the delete without needing the user to click the Submit button.
    I've read through the directions and re-created this so many times that either I'm still missing something, or else the instructions are missing something. Any help is much appreciated.

    I think your delete link was okay, maybe there might be some mistakes on delete-carpet.php page. Okay, on that page, choose delete record (Insert > Data Objects > Delete record) and popup window will appear and choose data as below.
    First check if variable is defined: Primary key value
    Connection: your database
    Table: the carpet table
    Primary key column: carpet_id
    Primary key value: URL parameter > carpet_id
    After deleting go to: this one u can choose same page(choose.php) or other page except the delete-carpet.php

  • I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

    I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash bin but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate the bin?

    You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

  • I have learned to love PAGES, but I can't figure out how "sections" get linked together and how to unlink them so I can move pages or delete pages with a whole bunch of pages (a section) going away.

    I have learned to love the PAGES program but I will add a new "section" or page to it and then when I look at thumbnails and try to move pages around or delete pages, it treats them as a section of many pages and will only delete several of them together or will add extra blank pages that I don't need. It is very frustrating but must be something I am doing to cause this.

    It is the '09 version. I went on the boards and found out that by inserting a page break after each page as I go, I can make each page act individually instead of as a group. Then I can move pages around or delete them through thumbnails. The online manual didn't really help with how to avoid having them act as a group.
    A Page Break pushes the next text to the next page, it is still part of the same section.
    You need to insert a Section Break.

  • Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  Help!

    Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them.  Help!

    Good morning Old Toad.
    I did as you suggested:
    1) Booted from install CD.
    2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
    3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
    4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
    5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
    So there's no change in my status.
    I'm trying to delete the files because:
    A) They already take .5 Gb.
    B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
    C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
    D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
    Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Hello. I have two version of Office for Mac. 2008 and 2001. I want to delete the 2008 version. If I use the removal tool within the Offie 2008 folder, is there any danger of the 2001 version being removed too.  Thanks Dave UK

    Do you mean Office 2008 and 2011 or do you really want Office 2001? I think you mean 2011 since Office 2001 wouldn't make much sense.
    The Office uninstaller should be able to identify there are two versions and allow you to delete either one or both.

  • Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

    We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
    1.  Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
    2.  Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
    3.  After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
    The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro.  It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    1- Thank you
    2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
    Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense.  Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle.  If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
    3- This also totally sucks.  In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
    So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
    And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
    We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums?  Really?

  • How do I delete pages from my iPhone without it being deleted from my macbook pro as well?

    how do I delete pages from my iphone without deleteing it from my macbook pro as well?

    Hold you finger down on the iPone App icon until it starts shaking then hit the x to delete it.
    Pages does not get deleted from your Mac because they are 2 separate applications on two separate operating systems, that just share a same file format.

  • How come i do not have the ability to delete books movies etc from iphone

    i was unable to install or reinstall itunes on home computer after crash so instead i am using laptop running win7 and the most current version of itunes but it wont give me to option to see whats on my phone or delete anything from my phone but i can add things to my phone witch is now full     please somebody help

    Hello dazgremlin69,
    It sounds like you are trying to delete music, movies, and books from your iPhone to free up some space.  You don't even need to use iTunes to do this.  I found some steps to help with deleting content directly from your iPhone in the iPhone User Guide.
    You can find steps to delete a song or album on page 62:
    Manually remove a song or album: Swipe sideways across the song or album, then tap Delete.
    The steps for deleting a video are on page 78:
    Delete a video: Swipe left or right over the video in the list. Deleting a video (other than a
    rented movie) from iPhone doesn’t delete it from your iTunes library.
    Steps on deleting a book is on page 111:
    Delete items from the bookshelf: Tap Edit, then tap each item that you want to delete, so that a
    checkmark appears. Tap Delete, then tap Done.
    Delete this copy: Removes the item from iPhone, but it still appears on the bookshelf and can be downloaded again.
    Delete from all devices: Removes the item from all of your iOS devices and from the bookshelf. You can download it again from Purchases in the iBookstore. See At a glance on page 109.
    You can find the iPhone User Guide here:

  • My Apple TV deletes downloaded movies/series before I've watched them. How do I stop this?

    My Apple TV sometimes deletes downloaded movies/series before I've watched them. How do I stop the episodes /movies being deleted before I watch them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Downloads are deleted to make room for something else or when the device is turned off, if you don't want your downloads removing, you need to avoid doing one of the things that will cause this.

  • Drag and Drop (Trying to do a copy but it does a Move instead)?

    I have implemented drag and drop throughout my application and it works fine as long as I drag from a non-editable component (Table, TextArea, etc.) to an editable component (TextArea or TextField). However, When I drag and drop from an editable component to another editable component it does a move instead. How do I force it to do a copy? I looked at the description of exportAsDrag(JComponent comp, InputEvent e, int action) method and it even says for the action that no matter what you put in there "...the value may be changed during the course of the drag operation". What exactly causes this possible change and how do I prevent it from happening?
    This is the constructor I currently have:
    public TextAreaPanel(Document doc)
      super(doc);
      setMargin(new Insets(12,12,12,12));
      setDragEnabled(true);
      addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
        @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
          if(e.getButton() != MouseEvent.BUTTON1)
            TextAreaPanel area = (TextAreaPanel)e.getSource();
            area.getTransferHandler().exportAsDrag(area, e, TransferHandler.COPY);
    }I forgot to mention before. The location of the component having the text copied into it is in a different JInternalFrame than the one where the text is being copied from (not sure if that matters or not).

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Problem with CS5 crashing when inserting or deleting page

    I have a legacy file (educational textbook) that was created in CS2 and has been edited and updated over the past couple of years with no problems. The file is approximately 360 pages with around 30 illustrations, a ToC, and large index. When updating the material today, I went back to insert a page due to overflow text and InDesign crashed. This happens every time I try to insert or delete a single page. I can insert a single page on pages i through viii, but when I try to insert a page beginning at Sec2:1 InDesign crashes. I can open and close the file and edit it anywhere with no problems.
    If I insert 2 pages at a time, it works fine and I can flow the text into the page. But, when I go to delete the extra page I don't need, it crashes. It doesn't seem to be specific to any particular master page in the file. I tried several times to export to an IDML file, reopen and save it to an InDesign file but the same problem occurs.
    The same thing happens with the file on the same verson of InDesign that is on my laptop. This problem does not occur with other InDesign files that I have created in the past. I need some help. Thank you!

    I think Steve was looking for a bug that affects new Macs, which we can rul out at this point.
    I suspect some corrupt text of some sort, but that's just a guess. Ther first thing I'd do is make a copy of the file for backup, then start trying to find the problem.
    You mentioned this was a CS2 file originally. What was the last version, and how much editing has beeen done in CS5? Do you have the old file and can you add pages in that version?
    In the CS5 version, are you able to select half of the pages at a time in the Pages panel and use the Move Pages command to move them to a new file (you need to make the new file first)? In the new file, before you move the pages, rename Master Page A to something that you didn't use in the file that is giving you trouble so that it isn't applied to any of your pages when they are moved, and open the Paragraph Styles panel flyout menuand choose Load Styles. Load the [Basic Paragraph] style from the problem doc and replace the existing one, then you are ready to move the pages.
    If you are able to move the pages, move half the pages into one file, and the other half into a second file. Save both files with new names. This is a divide and conquer search technique to see if we can isolate a problem page. With each half document, see if you are able to add or delete a page. Hopefully the answer will be yes for at least one half. If it's yes for both, move the pages from one of the new docs into the other to recombine them (you may have broken a text thread when moving the pages, so check for that at the point where the two were originally separated), save As with a new name and you should be good to go.
    If only one half is working, repeat the exercise with the bad half, moving halves to two more new files. Continue to do this until you are down to a single page from the old file, then remove half the text (or illustrations) and try the test again. You should be able to isolate a problem very quickly this way -- about 8 steps to get a 360 page book to down to one page.
    If NEITHER half doc works, it might be a corrupt style (and that may be the problem even if one of the half-docs is OK if that style is rarely used and doesn't get imported). When you move pages to a new doc, the styles will travel with them unless there are same-named styles already there. If you suspect a bad style, you should make a new blank doc, then define, not load, duplicate styles for all of the styles in the problem file, before moving the pages. This may be a lot of work, so an easier alternative might be to place your cursor in each story, then export that story to InDesign Tagged Text (If you ask over iin scripting, someone may have a script to export all the stories at once). You can then place the tagged text into a brand new file and see if that works.
    Keep us posted.

  • Can't delete pages in a book

    I can add pages---but the minus sign is greyed out; and hitting "delete" does not work either. I'm mystified (and irritated, I'm just have a couple of pages to delete to complete the project).

    Hi lachanel5,
    Not sure if you found this in iPhoto Help yet, but it says (red highlights mine):
    To delete a page from a photo book:
    Books require an even number of pages. If deleting a page creates an odd number of pages, iPhoto automatically adds a blank page to or deletes a blank page from your book to keep the page count at an even number.
    Open the book project.
    The book pages appear in All Pages view.
    Press the Control key while you click the page that you want to delete, and then choose Remove Page from the shortcut menu.
    Note:  You can also delete a page while viewing a page spread.
    A message appears asking if you want to delete the page.
    Click Yes.
    The Note about deleting a page means pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.
    Note there is a 20 Page minimum to the Books so if you have less than that, it won't let you delete pages, the Remove Page option will be dimmed. You need to change them to something else instead.
    Hope that helps,
    ivan
