Do others have issues with Pages' autocorrection/word completion?

Does anyone else out there have an issue with OS X Pages (5.1) trying to autocorrect or autocomplete words that lead to errors? For example I could be typing the word 'specific', but by the time I get to the 'specifi...' it corrects it thinking that I want to type 'specify'. As I continue to complete the word it leaves me with 'specifyc' that it flags up as a spelling mistake. Other times it tries to complete a work while I am still adding to it. Wishing to type 'shark' I type the 'shar...' but Pages then assumes that I wish to type the word 'share' and sticks the 'e' on the end even though I have not pressed the space bar. I therefore end up with 'sharek' that it once more annoyingly flags up as a spelling mistake for me to look at when I typed s-h-a-r-k and it messed it up for me!
I'm not a super fast typist - mid-forties per minute with a healthy smattering of mistakes on a good day. I've tried repeatedly typing some of its 'corrections' at different speeds and there seems to be a threshhold. Below a certain rate it lets me finish 'shark' properly above a certain speed it will 'sharek' me every time. It may be connected to the erratic way in which I burst-type some letter strings - I found the above error more apparent when I did the 'shar' fast then paused infintesimally before the 'k'.
I like the way that it is very good at correcting my genuine mistakes but the number of false positives is starting to annoy me. I know that I can turn it off, but is there anyway of adjusting the rate at which it decides to kick in and change a word? That way I can get it to chill a while and let me finish my words, yet help me for when my fingers do mess up...

Es,
You could open Pages in the Guest account and it would display everything as when first used, since the guest account has no memory.
There are Apple Tutorials here.

Many thanks for your help in this instance. The command-option-shift-esc and force quit solved the problem for me . Now I can get back to using my computer once more

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

Smartform issue with page break

Hi All,
I have an unusual issue with page break. Here is my scenario, I have a group of items in my table main area and for each group there is sort of header that prints. Similarly there are multiple groups needing a header whenever there is a new group printing. So far it prints fine. But whenever there is a page break and when items from the same group also print on the next page the same header needs to print on the top of next page similar to how the header area repeats on each page. Unfortunately I did not see any page break event for table main area.
Here is an alternative I have tried but having issues: I have created two rows for this group header one printing from header and another printing from main area. Whenever there is a page break the same group header prints as part of the header and on the rest of the page it prints from the main area. But in a particular scenario, there is a new group starting at almost bottom of the page but as there is not enough space left on the same page (page protection) jumps to next page. In this case there are two group headers printed one coming from the preivous page main area and another coming from the next page header. I hope my explanation is clear enough to understand.
Please suggest if there is any basic feature of smartform that I have missed out can solve this issue or if there is another alternative you can think of. I appreciate your responses.
Thanks..

I was able to solve this issue on my own.
Instead of checking for a page break on header line I am using a flag that is prepopulated in the table. I set this flag whenver a new group of items starts. If the flag is set I print it from the main area and if it is not set I print it from the header. This helped in avoiding the multiple header lines..

Hot mail is not working after firefox upgrade. I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week .

I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week after firefox upgrade. After entering login the page freeze. I am not able to continue.
I reviewed the thread. I am not using Foxit.
I reviewed hot mail forum. They suggest firefox upgrade causes this issue.
I tried after clearing my browser's cache and cookies. The situation remain same. Any idea?
What is the workaround?

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

Does any1 hav issues with not being able to send pic from the camera roll. I've already had issues with over exposure that the new update fixed but it left me with this issue.

Since getting my iPhone 5 I've had camera issues. To start with it was over exposure, the camera was flashing too early and leaving me with dark pictures. After a failed reset I visited the apple store, where they told me it was a known problem and apple were working on a update to fix the issue and it was just a
waiting game. Once the update was available I did it immediately and the problem seemed to be fixed. I've now noticed that from the camera roll I carnt send a picture to mms. It gives me the option but the screen completely freezes after I've chosen it. The only way to access my camera roll again is to completely close the camera roll down and reopen it. The strange thing it it will let me send it as an email and upload taught to Facebook etc just not as an mms. The other strange thing is if I go to msgs and add a photo I'm successful but if I try to edit the photo I want to send 1st then I get the same issue as the camera roll. I also have issues with the shutter taking ages to open. Is anyone else havin these issue before I go back to the apple shop. A complete reset hasn't worked

Photo Stream only handles images and your videos are not uploaded or shared with other devices.
Use iPhoto to import from your device. It can bring in the videos and image files.

Anyone have issues with Sata 3 SSD in the 2011 Macbook Pro

Hi Guys and Gals.
Does anyone have issues with the Macbook Pro 2011 Model with a Sata3 Solid State Drive ?
I have issues and have a Vertex3 made by OCZ. I am in active discussions with OCZ to find a resolution on their end. I have also contacted Apple Care and Intel and have run into dead ends.
However I am bringing my MBP for a repair, logic board replacement and will post the results after they change the logic board for me.
Check my thread on OCZ: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?89970-A-call-to-all-Macbo ok-Pro-2011-Users-with-SATA3-Issues
Regards,
Jase

Well, my My Genius appointment went very much as anticipated - it might well be a SATA III connection but Apple they do not support SATA III drives - least of all other people's.
Furthermore, they do not actually support anything other than the original configuration as sold - so given that I bought a 750 GB HD version, that is what I am stuck with - I asked Apple (London Regent St) if they could upgrade it to one of their own SSDs if I paid for it - they could not. They can only repair the machine to its original condition. They could not even advise me as to what Apple co-branded SSD I should look for to be compatible with this model - 512 Gb drives do come up on Ebay - Apple / Toshiba seems to be the normal one - but they couldn't advise if that would work or not. So it could be good money after bad.
Anyhow, they finally agreed to swap the cable, for a charge, so that will take two or thee days, plus the 5mins to do the job. I will post the results of the cable swap when I have it. They could not tell me whether it would be a different version of the SATA cable to the one already in the machine - but I asked to keep the old one so I can see if there is any visible difference.
It does seem strange that Apple support thunderbolt drives - which you can't even buy yet, but don't support SATA III in either Mac Pro or MAcBook Pro given that the full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
Two and a bit years is a long time in tech terms.

Hotjase, have you come to understand that the issue lies with the logic board? One would hope that Apple would owe up and come forward if there are in fact faulty logic borards. I have read that Apple have gone from 6/3 to 6/6 and then back to 6/3, though I do not know if this is applicable to all MBP models, or just some. As I sayed, I have the 13" model.
SdeS, what was the result of your talk with the Genius? Did you receive a new cable? If so what result?

Do others have issues with Pages' autocorrection/word completion?
