Duplicating page layout

I created a series of reports using the import spreadsheet wizard. After modifying the content of the reports (SQL), I added another report that I developed by hand. The wizard added a top navigation bar, a breadcrumbs trail, and a sidebar with a list of the reports.
I figured out how to add the top navigation bar and breadcrumbs, and how to add the new report to the sidebar, but I can't get the sidebar to show up properly on my page. I have tried to duplicate all the region settings and sequences, but the sidebar continues to show up below the report with white text on white background (ie invisible until hovered over), instead of white text on blue background to the left of the report.
I have compared the settings in my page to the settings in the wizard-based reports page, but I can't seem to find the one I need to display the sidebar as desired. Any suggestions?

Ok, I found the problem. For some reason, the two reports pages are using DIFFERENT page layout schemes, so I can duplicate the settings and it still won't show up correctly. The problem is in the original page design template, which somehow is being overriden/replaced in the page I created with one of a different design. I verified this by opening two reports pages in different windows, then viewing the Dsiplay Region help.
So where do I go to eliminate this discrepancy?

How to duplicate a page layout\

I'm having trouble duplicating a page layout. Normally in Microsoft Word when you went to the next page, the prior layout would be duplicated. Not so in Pages. To be specific, I created a tables page to use with Avery/Staples address labels type 5160/8160. It works for the first page, but I have to keep re-creating it for subsequent pages and I know that there has to be an easier way, but that I just cant find it.

So are we talking about Pages 5?

Problems duplicating pages in CS5

Hi,
I'm having big problems with certain basic operations involving copying pages. Here's the first problem: I'm unable to duplicate a page by dragging and dropping. The manual says that to duplicate a page, you merely hold down Alt, click the page icon or page number, then drag and drop. When I do this, all that happens is that it moves the page rather than copying it. I can, however, use this method to duplicate two or more pages. But that creates a mess and wastes time. Anyone else have trouble doing this?
The second problem occurs when I use the Duplicate page command. I can indeed duplicate a single page by selecting the page icon, right clicking and choosing Duplicate Page. I can do the same with multiple pages. The problem is that it corrupts the positioning of the layout by shifting everything left or right by a half inch or so. This occurs when the duplicated page is added to the end of the document. As I duplicate pages through successive generations, these shifts accumulate over time. It seems like a code bug where it's trying to shift the page left or right to properly position the gutter yet it misidentifies an even page as odd or vice versa and shifts in the wrong direction.
A partial work-around is that I can successfully duplicate two or more pages by dragging and dropping (instead of the Duplicate command). As long as I don't move them to the end of the document, it's OK. The problem is this won't work for single pages because dragging/dropping won't copy single pages (as I mentioned above). So I still can't just simply duplicate a page when I need to. Argh.
Comments anyone? Am I doing something wrong or does ID have serious shortcomings involving page duplication?
I'm running XP Pro SP3 on a 3.4 GHz P4, 4GB, Intel chipset, NVidia GeForce 6600. I ran the latest Adobe update to ID CS5 7.0.3.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses, folks, I do appreciate it. It definitely looks like a bug to me.
Here's an example. I create a new document. I hold down Alt, click on the page, drag and drop. It copies it OK. I now have two separate pages, neither one of them is a spread. I alt-drag-drop one of them again, this creates a third page, now part of a 2-page spread. At that point, the code starts to fail. I can continue successfully copying page one, but none of the other pages. For example, I can try either of the two pages in the spread and all that happens is they move - not copy. I can select a pair of pages, or 4, 5, 6 or any other number, drag and drop to copy them. This only works around half the time. For example, I select four pages, alt-drag-drop and all that happens is they move and I'm left with two pages selected (instead of four), now in a different location. I can repeat this experiement again and again selecting, alt-dragging and dropping. I may do 5 or 10 in a row which only MOVE, not COPY. I may then get lucky and get a string of them that do copy successfully. Or sometimes it alternates randomly.
It doesn't matter if I use the Alt method or drag the pages to the icon at the bottom of the pages window. Same statistical results. In no case will the software ever copy (drag) a single page which is part of spread. And once again, if I select one page from a spread and say "Duplicate page", it typically puts the dupe at the end of the sequence with the content shifted left or right some random distance, corrupting it.
I tried upgrading to 7.0.3, I tried trashing my prefs, I've tried many things. I'm not crazy nor do I need a book, but thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps I'll pick one up down the road. I confess I'm not a graphic artist and I'm only in my first month working with InDesign. But I recently worked a decade at a leading (rival) multimedia editing software manufacturer after 22 years in the biz and I write C code during the day to pay the bills. I know how to test code and I know when something is working inconsitently or not as specified. I may not have all the answers but all I can do is report what I observe and hope someone can solve the mystery. This would help me (and any others with the issue) as I'm doing 250+ page books and could really use a feature where I can copy a page. Not play a silly game of roulette trying to copy spreads or groups of pages. Just one page would be nice. And once again, thanks for the suggestions, I do appreciate it.

How to remove blank pages from WebI Report in view page layout option

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.
Thanks in advance.

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

I have the same by clicking on "check assignments"
Any help ?
Thanks

Hello Jego.
We faced the same issue after upgrade to EHP1 SP07 last week and managed to solve it by modification of layout.jsp and com.sap.nw.wpc.layoutmanager.LayoutBean within com.sap.nw.wpc.designtime.par. SAP's code requires an additional catch handler, so it is better to rise an OSS message.
As a workaround you may change a default layout for wpc main page (good for new pages) or manually edit output.xml for existing pages.

Custom page layouts are not getting displayed in ribbon

Hi,
I have created a custom page layout under welcome category. This is getting displayed in pages library while creating a page and also in page layout option from site settings which is fine. But when a page is in edit mode if we click page->page layouts
from ribbon, all the default page layouts are getting displayed except my custom page layout.
Please advise.
Regards,
Chaitanya.

you have a subsite in a site collection •the publishing feature is activated in the subsite, but not in the site collection •you want to edit/add page layouts on the site collection level, to be used within your subsite •when you open the site collection
in SharePoint Designer, you can't see Page Layouts in the Site Objects panel You now have 2 options: you can either activate the publishing feature in the site collection (and the Page Layouts link comes back), or you can use the All Files link and browse
to the master pages and page layouts library (_catalogs > masterpage.) Either option will do, unless you really don't want the publishing feature in the site collection.
To fix the issue go to Site Actions -> Site Settings in the upper left corner.
Under "Site Collection Administration" click on "Site Collection Features".
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.
Next return to "Site Settings" and click on "Manage Site Features"
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.

I really want more options for page layouts.

I am enjoying iphoto11, but sometimes wish for more page layout options. Is it possible to flip an entire page layout - like the option to flip a photo? I am currently working with a Photo Essay theme and in most of the layouts the text box is on the same side of the page. When I preview the book I see that I have many parallel layouts which looks a little stiff. Any ideas?

1 - there is no option to add layouts or modify existing layouts - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
2 - I understand that Aperture offers this capability
3 - you can do pages in any program you want and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and then use that image as a full page photo in a book - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more info

OOTB Left Navigation error in Page Layout SharePoint 2013

I created a SharePoint 2013 master page through Design Manager in Sharepoint 2013 and created a page layout like we do trough sharepoint designer as in sharepoint 2010 steps are below
SharePoint Designer--->Page Layouts---->New Page Layout
now i want to insert left navigation in the page layout ,i tried to insert the following snippet in the page layout
<div data-name="QuickLaunch">



<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">





































<hr />





</div>

</div>
but i get the following error when i create page through this page layout
"Content Place holders are only allowed in master page"
Can anyone tell me how do i insert left navigation in page layout which is created through sharepoint designer (.aspx file) but master page is created through design manager

Hi ,
As the error says, you need to add Content Place holders to Mater Page not the Page Layout.
For inserting left navigation, you can add Vertical Navigation SharePoint component to the master page using Snippets manager:
1.
Open the site then click design manager link from right top corner "Settings".
2.
Click “Edit Master Pages” link.
3.Click your custom mater page. It will open preview page.
4.
Once open the preview page then click Snippets menu from top right side. It will open “Snippet Gallery” in new tab page.
5.
Click the Vertical Navigation menu item in “DESIGN “tab.
6.
In this page we can easy to configure component properties.
After customization must click the update button then only the changes are reflected in the component snippet.
7.
Once click the update button the HTML code automatically generated in the “HTML snippet” box and click “Copy to Clipboard” button.
8.
Open the mapped network drive then open the Mater Page HTML file and paste HTML snippet where you want the navigation to show.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Dynamic Page Layout - Opportunity Product Revenue

Hi gurus,
I am trying to setup a dynamic template for "Opportunity Product Revenues"
I set it up successfully in the object. However, this data is exposed only as a related list of Opportunity and not directly. Now, when I go into the "Opportunity" customization, it only allows me to set up static page layouts, with no option to setup the Dynamic page layouts through the Related list.
Please help..

Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks for your response.
Our CTE is already on R19. We want to experiment and be ready when our PROD is upgraded to R19.
Can you help me with the requirement, if you have an idea please? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks

In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
Cheers.

Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
3. Click Section. (Check!)
4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
I really appreciate your insight.

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - how to repeat page layout in the form?

How would you repeat page layout design randomly in a form, means how the same page layout can be repeated on non-consecutive pages of an LC Form? For e.g. I want to repeat Page1 layout on Page 5 and Page 6 of an LC Form. How to do that. Please reply.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Which one is the Right Approach - Re Using Page Layouts or adding Web parts directly to pages instead of page layouts in SP 2013 online site ?

Hi Team,
I am SharePoint 2013 developer. Before asking question I would like to explain the requirement in clarity.
We are developing one O365 SharePoint online site which is having 10 different page layouts with different and some common webparts and we are reusing these page layouts by deploying a sandboxed solution which is having page layouts. These page layouts contain
filter and query to display data using some condition and predefined values. By using these layouts we have to create 100+ pages. All pages will show data according to that page name and category (if it belongs any). We have not written any code to develop
the site, everything is OOB feature.
We have used below feature/list/lib of SP Online 2013:
- Document Library
- Survey
- Calendar
- Lists
- Discussion forum library
- OOB Search feature
Now, I would like to know whether this is the right approach to reuse the page layouts. Or can we add webparts directly where the logic resides in the webparts and add them to the pages instead of page layouts?
Also how to deploy page layouts/pages from one server to another? Currently we are deploying everything as a feature using sandbox solution.
Could you please let me know the right approach to follow. I am asking this question because we are facing below issues:
- Sometime page layouts gets corrupted, showing nothing.
- All written filters/logic disappear when we open layouts in Designer
- Deployment is pain using Sandbox solution
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in Advance,
Shifa Mittal

Interesting question, to which i do not know a definitive answer.
Output Caching is used to increase performance and to reduce load on the box. However since you're in the MS Cloud you don't need to worry about the latter and MS do the worrying about the former. I wouldn't be surprised if MS have updated the behaviour
for O365 and not updated the documentation. That first office.com article is using 2010 screenshots which doesn't fill me with confidence about it's continuing relevance. Don't forget that SharePoint 2013 and O365 are technically different versions and have
very different behaviour in places.
Generally i'd say not to worry, but in this case if you do find any more information i'd love to see it.

Can you make a mail merge from a page layout? I can successfully do so from the word processing section of pages

I am trying to mailmerge to a form and need to center certain sections on the same line. Impossible to accomplish in the word processing portion because it wants to center the entire line. I would like to use the page layout section but the "enter merge field" is gray.
I have been able to accomplish the task using Filemaker but some of my constituents do not have Filemaker and I would like to make a template for them to use with numbers, excel,etc.

Can't see what Layout mode could possibly offer that you don't have in Word Processing mode.
Tried using centre tabs? You are using tabs, and not just hammering away at the spacebar?
