Drag and drop to replace pages

In version 8 I could drag a page thumbnail from one document to another to
replace a page (you positioned the dragged thumbnail over the page
thumbnail's number to replace it). But in version 9, the page is no longer
replaced by the dragged thumbnail, it can only be dropped before or after a
page, then I have to tell it to delete the old page. Is there a way to get
this feature back?

But I was able to do it in version 8. You have to hold the page thumbnail
from the source document over the other destination document's page
thumbnail number, so that the number is highlighted. Then when you drop the
thumbnail it replaces the page with what you dropped.

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.

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.

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.

I used to drag and drop photos into pages. Recently updated to iPhoto 9.4.3 and now Pages doesn't recognize the photo?????

I use iWork Pages '09 to create my images. I normally drag and drop photos from iPhoto directly to Pages.
With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt". This doesn't happen with every photo from the same event and doesn't get corrected after running 'Repar Permissions'. I can Export to desktop then drag to Pages but that is stupid. What's up???

With iPhoto 9.4.3 I now get an error: " The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt".
This looks like previews of some of your photos are missing or corrupted. Did you run a cleaning application, like "clean my mac" or move your iPhoto Library? Where do you store your iPhoto Library?
I'd try to repair the database or rebuild the iPhoto Library in addition to repairing permissions with the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools. Launch iPhoto with the command and options-key ⌥⌘ held down at the same time to get to the First Aid Tools.
Back up the iPhoto Library before you try rebuilding.

Can you drag and drop contacts into Pages template?

Older versions of Pages allowed you to drag and drop contact information to a document or template, Can this still be done in newer versions? If so, how?

No.
Someone has created an AppleScript to merge your addresses however.
Why not just use Pages '09?

Drag and drop text to Pages doc without formatting

Pages '06 allowed me to 'drag and drop' text from another application into a cell in a Pages table, without disturbing cell formatting. i.e. the text would lose all its own styles, and take on those set for the cell. This is just the same as using the Edit item 'Paste and Match Style', but avoids several intermediate steps. This doesn't work in Pages '08, so my question is:
Is there a modifier key or some other way of setting Pages '08 to work the old way?
I would also like to do the same thing into main body text, but even Pages '06 wouldn't do that -- not for me, anyway. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

What you can do is right-click on your selected text, choose "Copy" from the contextual menu, then go to the app where you want to paste the text and right-click again, choosing "Paste and Match Style" from that contextual menu.......no keyboarding involved, no modifier keys.

Cannot load ipage drag and drop site builder page

The only thing that loads is the header. ipage help thought it was a problem with adobe flash player. Plugins manager indicated I had Shockwave player, no Adobe Flash listed. Tried downloading Adobe Flash, appeared to download and install, but did not show up in plug in manager, even after rebooting. Uninstalled Shockwave, rebooted and downloaded Adobe Flash. Shockwave player showed up again in plug in manager, not Adobe Flash. Not sure if they are now one and the same. Checked permissions for the page and allowed everything, still no help. Tried clearing the cache and cookies, no change. The page is fully functional in Explorer. Could use some help, please. Running version 9.01. Thanks

Do you mean that you want to be able to drag and drop between sections within the page, drag and drop within the same section, or drag and drop across to a different page?

Can`t drag and drop foto into pages document, it bounces back

trying to drag and drop a foto from iphoteo to pages document, it doesn`t work properly and steady.
Eventually it bounces back. I repeated to do so few times, sometimes it works into an blank page or into a fotoframe, sometimes it doesn`t.
I checked camera type and other informations of the pictures,seems to be not part of the problem.
I can drag and drop fotos to the desktop without problems, all jpg.
I did drag and drop a few pictures succsesfully onto the same document or into the same fotoframe and suddenly, again it does not work.
Any help?
Andi

Try making a direct shortcut to the Organizer and then the Editor.
You should then be able to drag and drop on to the desktop icon.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails - could be different in PSE5 but look for the exe file)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application.

Why can't I drag and drop to the pages icon?

My MacBookPro is 2 yrs old. Pages is 5.2.

Sounds to me like you are talking about .rtf files. Pages 5.2 does not support .rtf.
TextEdit works with .rtf and iCloud, what is your exact problem?
Please try to be specific. We can't test "things" and "anything".

ExtJS Drag and Drop Tree Implementation

Hello!
I found this wonderful example of a drag and drop tree, with the ability to save the changes, but I'm not quite sure how to go about implementing it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Tammy

Hi Tammy
My example uses drag and drop also, so the details are there.
Regarding your question on how to get started:
Really it's just a case of breaking the problem down into managable parts until you have solved all the pieces.
Start by implementing the "AJAX form using globals" at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=200801:2011
It shows you how to pass data back to the database using AJAX with the WWV_FLOW variables, which are there for exactly that purpose.
Make sure you also understand the response Ext is expecting, use Firebug to examine the responses in both examples.
Once your comfortable with that, try loading a tree using an application process.
You can create stubbed responses initially for the application process, e.g.
htp.p(^'[{
    "text": "adapter",
    "id": "source\/adapter",
    "cls": "folder"
    "text": "dd",
    "id": "source\/dd",
    "cls": "folder"
    "text": "debug.js",
    "id": "source\/debug.js",
    "leaf": true,
    "cls": "file"
}]^');From there, add drag and drop calls, replace your stubs with production code...
I use application processes as a gateway, simply passing requests through to a database package.
It's not a small task by any means, so allow plenty of time for learning and understanding.
Regards
Mark

Adobe will not allow me to drag and drop.

Adobe will not allow me to drag and drop.

Ok, yes, you are correct. Adobe Reader has never allowed you to re-order pages by drag and drop of the pages.
This feature is found in Adobe Acrobat.

Some iPhotos pics in media browser of iWeb won't drag and drop

I am trying to add some pictures from the iphoto media browser in iweb and haven't had a problem until now. Some pictures will drag and drop to the page and others will not. I thought it might be a difference in size, but these are equal size and still some with drag and some not.
I did notice that when I drag some to a photo box, the + sign in a green box appears and those will go. The ones that won't, have a curvy arrow (like the hyperlink symbol).
I'm just learning about all of this, but this one has me stumped... thoughts?
Nicole

I know we talk all about iWeb here but iPhoto has had its fair share of problems. Have you installed the latest iPhoto V 7.0.2(341)?
I've had a few bizarre things happening in iPhoto '08 but not since the latest update.

Can't Replace Pages (via drag and drop in Pages panel) in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, PPC G5 PowerMac.
I'll have two PDFs open and I'll want to replace certain pages from document A with certain pages from document B. Rather than using the Replace Pages command from the Document menu, I prefer to visually see what I'm changing. For this reason I've always preferred the drag and drop method, where one selects a page thumbnail from one document and drops it onto a page thumbnail in another document. This only seems to be a problem in Acrobat 9. This works fine in Acrobat 7.1.1 and 8.1.6. Drag and drop will allow one to insert pages but the replacement of pages is not working. As described in Acrobat Help, under "Replace pages using a page thumbnail," I try to drop the page thumbnail onto the page number as prescribed but the page to be replaced never highlights like it should. It will only give the insertion highlight between each page, indicating that it is about to insert a page.
Other macs exhibit the same behavior -- it always works in Acrobat 7 and 8 but not 9.
Thank you for your assistance.

I'm using the Windows version of Acrobat Pro 9 and found this thread with the same problem. (Key command to replace on Windows is: Ctrl + Alt).
Anyway, to answer the how to disable the warning, go to the Acrobat Preferences. In the General category under "Warnings", check the setting "Do not show edit warnings". There should be a similar setting on the Mac version.
(Now I wish replacing pages didn't require a key command like in previous versions.)

Drag and drop Contact from Address Book to Pages Document on iPad

On OS X MacBook and iMac I can use Drag and drop Contact functionality from Address Book directly on a Pages document. In Pages I have setup Merge fields to merge values from my Contacts. This works great!
I would also like to use this in Pages on my iPad mini. I know Pages on iOS are different from Pages for OS X, but I wonder if there is any possibility for me to open OS X created Pages document with Merge fields on iPad's Pages and replace existing Contacts values with new one from Address Book?
It seems like Pages on iOS even don't recognise Merge fields that I have created on OS X at all.

Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?

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.
