Dynamic Text in Apple Pages

I know that it's possible to create Placeholder Text. However I'm looking for dynamic text. I frequently deal with documents where I need to update 30 fields with the same information. Rather than going 30 times and replacing the Placeholder Texts with the correct info, I'd love to be able to just fill out a couple fields and the remaining ones to populate dynamically. Kind of how you can create cell references in Apple Numbers and Excel, I'd love to create references for text.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Pages does not have Dynamic Text.
Use a marker placeholder eg «example1»
Then use Find and Replace to substitute what you want.

Adding dynamic text to SharePoint Pages

Hello all,
Our SharePoint developer has quit and not his "duties" have been "pushed" onto me. While I am no developer, I can hold my own on certain things.
Basically I have been asked to add "dynamic" text to our pages that will "read" a field in our "project information list" - project name, client etc.
Is there a way to "read" a field in SharePoint and add this information dynamically to a page? Our project pages will be around 20 and to do it manually for every page would be a bit of a bear.
Lastly, we have a documentation library with folders in it. Is there a way to display the "folder" the user is currently in? Right now, when the user clicks on "procedures", there is no visual indication on the page they are in the "procedures"
folder.
Thanks all for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi,
It would be easier for communities focus on one question in one single thread, if you may have more than one questions, it would be better to post one question in one single
thread.
For the first question, you want to display values from a column of a list in a page, what’s more, the values will be changed along with the changes in the corresponding list.
Content Query Web Part would be a good choice without coding.
You can specify the column you want to display, the style of the content and you can even filter the values you got. All you need to do is add this web part into your 20 pages
with some necessary settings, then you will get a dynamic view of data on your page.

Dynamic text based on page number

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to place a dynamic text on an hrform. The form is displaying wage types and when there are more than 2 pages, the values on the first page need to be summerized into a variable with the text subtotal in front of it. When we are on the last page, the text total with the total of all the wagetypes needs to be displayed. I tried to use the sfsy-page and sfsy-formpages variables to know on which page i am but the strange thing is that when i use in in program lines and i use debugger to look into the variable i get this:
First page:
sfsy-page = 1
sfsy-formpages = 1
Second page:
sfsy-page = 2
sfsy-formpages = 2
But when i place it into a text element to test i get 1 of 2 on page one and 2 of 2 on page two. How is this possible?
Also i want to display a subtotal of the displayed wagetypes per page. Anyone an idea how i can do that?
Thank you!
Lars

Hi,
The reason you get 1-1 ,2-2 in debugging is because, the pages are added dynamically,depending on the length of your main window.Which doesnt get captured initially,but can be used in text element.
As far as totalling on every page and at the last page is concerned ,try teh following link:

Dynamic Text in the Page Header

Hi Gurus,
     I have a small requirement i.e., changing the text of title on page header UI element based on condition. if create then create data else if it is display then display the info some thing like that.
   Kindly can some help me regarding this....
Regard
Sankar

Hi Sankar,
Create on eattribute of type String and bind to title property of page header,
and your WDDOINIT or any event write code to set title for PG header,
You are using different buttons, use this code in your buttons and change text.
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->Element_context.
DATA lv_pg TYPE wd_this->Element_context-pg.
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
data pg1 type string.
pg1 = 'selected the record'.
lv_pg = Pg1.
* set single attribute
lo_el_context->set_attribute(
    name = `PG`
    value = lv_pg ).
In button 1..
lv_pg = 'Enter the entries'.
* set single attribute
lo_el_context->set_attribute(
    name = `PG`
    value = lv_pg ).
Cheers,
Kris.

How do I move text in apple pages for icloud

I'm trying to highlight text and then click and drag it to another location in my document. Doesn't work. Does the icloud version work differently than the download program? Thanks.

double click selects a word
triple click selects a paragraph
Once selected you can hold down the cursor momentarily and drag and drop it or you can command c copy, command v paste to where you want it.
Move the cursor with the arrow keys.
Add option to jump words/lines.
Add shift to select as you go.
command shift down arrow selects to the end of the document
These are all standard Mac keyboard shortcuts so worth learning, they become second nature.
Look under the Help menu for a full set of Keyboard Shortcuts.

Displaying dynamic data on every page of standard text

Hi All,
I m using standard text (created in SO10) in smartform . I want to display dynamic data on the top of every page of standard text.
Displaying the dynamic data is not the problem, but how would i know where is page finished(or started) as Preview in SO10 may not look the same as smartform output.
I dont want to do this manually by adjusting the size of window. Is there any other way to do the same??
Vanita.

Try to create a text in your SF and write the dynamic data.
To know in which page use &SFSY-PAGE&
this system fields may also be helpful for dynamic text on each page
&SFSY-COPYCOUNT0&   "COPY COUNTER( 0 = ORIGINAL, 1 = 1st COPY)
&SFSY-COPYCOUNT&   "COPY COUNTER( 1 = ORIGINAL, 2 = 1st COPY)
Still you can called DYNAMIC text through your standard text.. but place your conditions.
Regards,
SaiRam

Apple Pages 5.0.1

Why are there columns in the header that block text in Apple Pages 5.0.1 and how do I get rid of them?

In working with headers in Pages 5.0.1, there are columns that did not exist in previous versions. These columns appear to truncate and/or block text. Is there a way to clear them so that the running header reads something like this:
HUMOR AS AVOIDANCE 1
As opposed to
HUMOR AS A| | 1
Thanks again...

Problems with a MS Word doc that was converted from Apple Pages

Hello. I am writing a book and after completing most of the text in Apple Pages, I had to convert to MS Word to use the sidebar feature. The MS Word document that I am working with has some very strange attributes. Where quotation marks were used in Pages, the Word document substitutes material from a nearby page. Where sections are underlined, it again mixes some of the original material wtih material from elsewhere in the book. I have attempted to fix these issues by retyping the incorrect text, but when the document is saved, the next time I open it, more horrors lurk in the same places.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have done this, repeatedly, using OSX 10.7.6 & 10.9.2, Pages 4.3, and Word 14.1.0. I did not experience the hassles you report, but then, perhaps my docs were simpler than yours. But I did retain list features & outline structures from Pages to Word, and Word to Pages. In-line graphics remained as such and as I recall, underlines, italics, and section lines remained intact as well. Transferring both ways.
If you were doing your transfers using Pages 5.2, I recommend that you delete 5.2, revert to 4.3 if you possibly can (get an old .dmg copy from deep backup, a friend, whatever it takes)
I loved Pages 4.3. I have removed Pages 5.2 from my system, best I can.

Dynamic Text in Pages using Numbers file as input

I was wondering if it is possible to have cells or text boxes in Pages that are dynamic and are filled
in automatically using a source cell from a linked Numbers file as the input.
I have proposals to write that always use a specific Numbers file to crunch the math, but I want
to present certain parts of the Numbers file in a formal written proposal and don't want to redo
everything by hand when I make small changes to the projects financials.
Thanks!!! So glad I switched!

There is no feature allowing us to link two different documents.
You may try to achieve your goal creating the Text document in a Numbers sheet using text boxes.

How can I copy text&image from a website to Apple Pages at once?

I'm using Apple Pages 9.1, I can't copy text and images to pages at once. When I paste the copy contents to it, it just only shows text. With Safari, this functionality seems normal. I could copy and paste what I want to the pages.
What can I do now? I don't want to open Safari just only to copy and quit it after that. :D

Does it matter how widely you select? Firefox may be somewhat stingier in what it includes in a selection than other browsers. For example, I suspect you would have better results if you select the entire page and copy and paste it compared with a section of the page. But that's just a guess, I've never used Pages (or any of iWork).

Way to copy text only from Adobe and paste into Apple Pages?

I tried upgrading to Adobe ExportPDF and exporting to Word in hope that it would translated OK to Apple Pages. It did not, but I don't think it was because it had problems converting from Word to Pages. My guess is that it's because most of the text was wrapped around images. I know this because on the text that was NOT wrapped around image, I was able to paste it, though it was not a smooth convert in the sense that some fonts were substituted, certain characters were smooshed together and the spacing was uneven. That part was a conversion issue; however it is still more preferable than having to retype all the text.
Unless I can come up with another alternative this is what I will be forced to do on many, many PDF's that I need to convert (or successfully paste) into text-only documents.
It's weird because back in the day, I recall being able to simply highlight text that I wanted in a PDF document and then paste that text into a Pages document. Then it all changed and Adobe doesn't seem to allow you be able to do that.
Can anyone come up with a workaround for this problem? I don't have hours upon hours to convert all my PDF writing work into text only docs (to put on my online portfolio to make it easier for clients, etc., to read).
Any help with this problem would be most appreciated.

I don't know what "Apple Pages" are, but since you talk about ExportPDF, I will move your post to the appropriate forum.

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??

How to link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

How do you link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

Thank you for your help; it is appreciated. I suspected that, but am still disappointed. I am finding myself getting more and more disenchanted with Apple products in the past few years. I've been a faithful fan, user and promoter since the 1980s, but I am starting to seriously doubt their competency in the past few years with the Pages 5 version as well as what iOS7 continues to do to my iPhone (as my prime examples). Instead of enhancing my life and work, Apple is beginning to waste my time -- a lot of it! Perhaps it is time for a change.... I don't want to, but I am starting to look for other alternatives.
