Does pages have a search feature on documents
Does pages offer a search feature for documents. If I have a document and want to search for a specific word or phrase how can this be done?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try a Spotlight search?
If you've never used it, Spotlight is the 'sort of magnifying glass' icon at the upper right corner of the top menu bar.
Click on the Spotlight icon.
In the box that opens, type in your search term(s), a space, and .pages, and click on Show All
Spotlight will open a Finder window.
You can refine your search results including where to search This Mac or "Desktop" for example, and whether searching for Contents (words or strings embedded within documents) or Filename.
Now you can choose a document from the results displayed.
Clicking on a filename and pressing the space bar lets you view the document without actually opening the program that created it.
You can control what kinds of documents are/are not indexed by selecting from the top menu bar, then System Preferences, Personal, Spotlight.

Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?
Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?
With online layout you can have the page of your document fill up as much of the screen as you want while being able to zoom the viewing of your text or words to any percentage you want. In pages, I can zoom or stretch the document to fit the full width of the screen, but the view the actual text or words themselves correspondingly enlarges as well.

HT4641 Does pages have a document password protection function
Does pages have a password protection function since adobe PDF for IPhone3gs or IPad2 does not?
If you were to think laterally about this, you could also create encrypted archives for just those folders or files you were interested in to minimise the possible harm. Similar to the disk images Magnus suggested, but slightly less trouble. Modern Macs are very fast at unarchiving these files so you can work on them then archive them again without too much trouble.
I am a great fan of those tiny USB harddrives and thumbdrives, which easily slip into your pocket so you can take them with you.
My backup consists of a set of three 4Gb USB thumbdrives for my documents and 3 differently colored USB harddrives for my larger material.
If your work is on these, you simply detach them from your computer and keep them locked up or on your person.
Nobody will be able to access those without bailing you up.
… And of course you can use a combination of any and all of the above suggestions. -
Does Pages have a mirror margin option in formatting?
Does Pages have the formatting option called Mirror Margin?
We have no idea because we don't know what version of Pages you are using.
In Pages '08/'09 Inspector > Document > Document > Document Margin > check Facing Pages and adjust the inside/ouside margins
In Pages 5, no because Apple has removed this along with 100 other features.

Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
and can i specify a default save-as location?The default save location is the one used to open the document.
The default save_to location is the last used one.
Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

OT: Does Quark have a book feature?
I have to export (or print?) close to a thousand Quark documents to PDF.
It's about 30 books split to 20-30 documents. Does Quark have a book
feature or something that would allow me to export whole books at once?Yes, I wouldn't suggest using GREP styles to set up huge kerning tables, but let me give you a couple of examples. The first isn't actually a pair, but my client likes to have some air around em-dashes. So, I have set up a character style named Tracking75 and a GREP style that does this:
Apply Style: Tracking75
To Text: .~_
This actually applies +75 tracking to any character that is followed by an em-dash and the em-dash that follows it, thereby giving the em-dash some air.
I also have a CustomKernPair'" character style that I use to add 50 units of tracking to the pair :
ApplyStyle: CustomKernPair
to Text: ~](?=~})
In this case, the tracking is applied to just the single right quote when it is followed by a double right quote because of the use of the positive lookahead to locate the second character.
This could be extended as far as you like, but it would quickly get unwieldy if you tried to apply it to more than a handful of pairs; there's also a potential performance issue if you go crazy. And there's no method (other than Based-on inheritance) to quickly get a bunch of these out of one style into another -- but a script could help with that.

Does Pages have the robust grammar settings that MS Word has? I can't find them. Word identifies run-on sentences, possessives and plurals, subject-verb disagreement, passive voice, split infinitives, contractions, excessively wordy sentences, etc. Does Pages have those capablities? If not and I buy MS Word for mac, does it perform well on the Mac?
If you would like to check out what sorts of issues people have with MS Word for Mac, you can have a look a the forum run by MS for that:

New classic does not have voice memo feature
Greetings.
My new 120gb classic does not have voice memo feature. The other 120gb classic I have does have this feature. Any ideas why this discrepancy exists? How do I get voice memo feature installed?I'm skeptical of this notion, that a microphone must first be connected. This is my second 120gb ipod classic, both brand new, or seemingly....First one has never had a mic connected to it yet still displays "voice memo" menu feature. Unless, of course, someone before me had plugged a mic into my new classic ipod? Will try to plug mic into it and see if feature option appears though.

I movie 11 does not have a special feature for subtitles?
i movie 11 does not have a special feature for subtitles?
No, not like you would find on the Windows PC for example Aegisub. That is a very well made open source sub-title editor. What iMovie has are embedded or hard coded subtitles burned right into the video frames after you Share the movie (exporting it really) to the Desktop. There are some title choices that can mimic the sub-titles you see in the movies, but you don't get the timing accuracy required to to real sub-titling, and that's what a program like Aegisub provides, timing, two rows of text, all kinds of different options to not just add but refine the titles.
The closest you can get to a sub-title in iMovie '11 is Lower Third, and Lower options unde the Titles toolbar. (the letter T tool) -
I need help installing Lightroom 5. I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature. Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results, and very difficult to get help.

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then? -
