Drag and drop to re-arrange pages

how do I re-arrange page numbers?
I have tried to drag and drop from the left pane (page thumnails), but when I do this it grabs a group of pages and tries to move the whole group.(3 to 4 pages at a time)
I do not have the option of unchecking "Ungroup" under the Arrange tab.
Using an OLD Version 2.0.2
Sorry if this a duplicate question, but it did not come up in the search field.
Thanks for any help in advance.

@Jerrold Thanks for the feed back, this did seem to work for me, but sometimes creating a section break, also creates a new blank page in between sections, so then I had to delete that page.
I agree with jamills, it seemed like the old version worked fine, from what I remember, although I dont use Pages very often and it has been a while since I have created a document that was more than a few pages and had to re-order them. so I could be wrong on that also.
Thanks Again for the feedback,

  • Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

    I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011.  I can paste from Photos into Pages.  How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

    Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
    I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.

  • I would love to be able to drag and drop items from one page to another from the plan window. Is that possible?

    In desiging my website, I would like to be able to move items from one page to another by dragging and dropping from the plan architecture screen. It might also help if the window could have a zoom in and out feature to facilitate that.

    I just tried zooming in the plan window and discovered it works.

  • Upgrade from eprint to hp connected - can't drag and drop apps to arrange them like I did before!

    I upgraded from eprint to HP Connected today.  Now it won't let me back into eprint website (and, yes, I would not have gone back if something didn't work right at hp connected).
    I could drag and drop the placement of my apps to arrange them as I want them on the printer display touchscreen at eprint.   However, I can't drag or drop anything at hp connected and I don't see any help on managing the placement of apps on your printer.
    How can this be done?  It was easy before - just drag and drop and website updated printer.  I have a officejet 7610.
    Thanks in advance!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for trying but your answer is incorrect, according to an email I received today from HP Connected:
    "I have reviewed your email. I understand that you have questions related to rearranging the order of the apps on the printer. I know this can be frustrating, and I want you to know you're certainly valuable to us and I want to do everything possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. The following information should provide the answers you need:
    1) Unfortunately when HP launched the new website (www.hpconnected.com) they did not include a method of rearranging the apps on the printer. They may include this feature in a future update, however as this time it is not available.
    2) If you have made the upgrade from eprintcenter to HP Connected you do not have the option of returning. Eprintcenter is in the process of being eliminated and unfortunately retuning to the old site is not possible."
    I hope <<S-O-O-N>> HP fixes this new website -- it's crazy to take away any controls like this from their customers and not either embellish them or at least leave them be.
    I may take this 7610 OJ back for a new Brother 11x17 all-in-one --- they look nice )

  • How to drag and drop images on html page?

    Is there a simple way to drag images on your webpage so that they are positioned at different coordinates?
    I have an img whose CSS position is set to absolute and top and left are both set to zero. I would like to simply drag the image to another location in the design view and have it update the tag's style with the new coordinates.
    The types of web pages I am building must use abosolute positioning extensively and having to hand code each position would be very inefficient.
    Thanks!

    If you are using CC then you can't;  If you are using CS6 then:
    Insert >> Layout Objects >> ApDiv
    See this picture:
    Once the APDIV is inserted, you can drag it whereever you it to be.
    Good luck.

  • UNABLE TO DRAG AND DROP SONGS TO ARRANGE MUSIC

    OK i have a bit of an issue and so far no-one has been able to help me, in my library i cannot arrange songs, i used to be able to but now...no
    when i click on a song and go to drag it, the outer perimeter of the listing highlights in blue and i can't move the song, it's like all the songs are stuck permanatly in the order they are in.....can some one please help me,

    As the previous poster has pointed out, if you are trying to drag songs from one position to another, that can only be done in a playlist. You can't do that in the iTunes Library list view, all you can do in there is re-order the songs by clicking at the top of any column. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A)
    If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click at the top of the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

  • Illustrator Default PDF, if open in Acro Pro, drag and drop other .ai files, will they also....

    Hi! I'm trying to archive (for myself and others for easy access) about 50 fairly complex .ai files in a single Illustrator Default PDF and maintain editability and preserve layer and grouping integrity for every separate file, and, i'm probably going to have to do this hundreds of times (at least!) in the future. Once i save the initial first pdf file through Illustrator (wish didn't even have to do this, but seems no way to do in Bridge), then open the resulting pdf w Acrobat Pro, can i then just select an entire folder's worth of ai files in Bridge, drag and drop them into the pages panel and still have the dragged and dropped files also preserve all their AI info and layer/ group integrity? An if not, thinking if not based on 20 similar experiments, what's a fast way to do this. Doing this manually each time: opening each file in AI then saving as AI pdf, then combining and arranging them all after the fact, would be, well, fairly effed in terms of time, carpal tunnel, arthritis etc. Experimented w Bridge PDF Output batching (terrible rasterized lo-res results, but great for its intended purpose) and just dragging and dropping into Acrobat (lose complicated layer names and info, all flattened to single layer). Any help most appreciated, and as i do not have regular access to das interwebs  (i live on a boat) would appreciate and heed gentle admonishment if i've misposted or broached any community etiquette here. I've researched this as well as i can but can't find anything efficient/ elegant not involving InDesign, and even then the details are skimpy. Thank You! Getting mentally exhausted and not a little loopy. Keep in mind had to teach myself both Illustrator, Acrobat etc with access to the very limited offline help menus (the boat), so a complex answer involving learning InDesign would be learning curve can't even imagine with everything else struggling to do. But if you're willing to babystep diagram it out for me or can find me a link that does i will not only be eternally grateful but will do my durndest to master it and pass it on....Thanks Again! lil mc szpf
    PS If it helps I'm running the diligent dogged dusty beloved workhorse CS4 Design Premium on 27" monitor 2010 Mac (OS X 10.6.8), and took advantage of rare housesitting net access to install all most recent updates of everything, i'm barely competent w AI, PS, BR and been tackling Acrobat for past couple of months now....

    im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
    i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
    1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
    2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
    3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
    4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
    5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
    6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
    its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
    i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.

  • Drag and Drop Funcionality

    I would like to build a web page that supports drag-and-drop functionality ... e.g. drag an image from one area of the page to another. I have read that JSF supports drag-and-drop and was looking for ways to implement this functionality using Java Studio Creator. So far I have not found anything in the tutorials, and when I search in these forums for "drag and drop" I get lots of descriptions of dragging-and-dropping components onto a page (i.e. building a page) but not implementing drag-and-drop functionality itself. Any tips on where to find this information is appreaciated.

    Thanks for the link about dragging and dropping Swing objects.
    Now I am stuck, because it seems the only kind of ojbects that can be dragged-and-dropped are java.awt.Component obects. All the cool objects from the Creator Palette are not java.awt.Component objects so it appears I cannot implement drag-and-drop for those?
    The below works okay, because btn is a java.awt.Component object.
    Button btn = new java.awt.Button();
    dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer( btn,
    DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE, this);
    But if instead of btn I try to use one of the objects from the Creator Palette (such as a Button which is of type com.sun.web.ui.component.Button) I get an error.
    So then is there no way to implement drag-and-drop functionality with these cool new Creator GUI objects? Thanks.

  • Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

    Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP.  My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves).  The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later.  If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great.  Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

    Not that I know of.

  • Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

    Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

    If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered:  Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
    This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.  Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
    Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

  • Pages: I want to reorganize items in folders, drag and drop is not working. So how can I do this?

    Pages: I want to reorganize items in folders, drag and drop is not working. So how can I do this?

    This is the very top of the documents view in the Pages app. If you don't see this, swipe down in this window to reveal the Date and Name tabs like you see here. If you tap on - Name - that arranges all of the documents in alphabetical order in this view and it also arranges documents in the respective folders alphabetically. If you tap on - Date - that will arrange all documents by the date that they were created or last edited. You want to make sure that you keep Name as the default at the top.
    Trust me, this does work. If you name the chapters alphabetically .... Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, or if you simply name them A, B, C, D, etc. they will be arranged in that order using the Name button at the top, which uses alphabetical order to arrange the documents.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

    I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
    I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
    The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
    In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
    I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
    So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
    Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.
    Sue

    Susan,
    Try out the following things. These suggestions are
    sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
    behavior in iWeb.
    1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
    /"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
    2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
    aBrowser.plist"
    3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
    Utility
    4. Reboot machine
    5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
    Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
    iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
    directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
    These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
    kind of positive results from people having similar
    problems.
    I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
    Hope you can help. Thank you.

  • I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

    I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
    When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
    Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
    Thanks
    Mandy

    for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
    I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
    The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

  • Cannot print with a Samsung ML2160 printer (mono laser) and Pages. Print function doesn't work, only drag and drop in printer's queue

    Hello,
    I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
    If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
    Thank you in advance

    Do the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
    Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:
