Empty pages panel

Last week my pages panel suddenly started showing up empty.
I have deleted the prefs, to no avail.
This makes it very difficult to work on files, as I can neither delete pages nor get to the master pages.
Help!

Me too. My Pages panel periodically stops working. First it just appears empty (plain grey). If I try resizing the panel, it gets even weirder. When I click on the "resize handle" of the panel, the little dotted triangle in the bottom right corner, the panel just disappears! The same happens when I try to grab either the bottom edge or the right-hand edge. The panel just disappears, and then cheekily reappears when I release the mouse button.
I can right-click on the panel and select "Panel Options", which lets me play around with some options. For example, by switching off the "Show Vertically" option, I can get some of the thumbnails to display, but not correctly. A few thumbnails appear in a horizontal row, but then the row goes off the right-hand side of the panel leaving most of the thumbnails invisible.
After a while the resizing function starts working again, but even resizing the panel to fill the whole screen is not enough to show all the thumbnails. They start OK with page 1 in the top left, but then continue in a horizontal row that disappears off the right-hand side of the panel. If there are enough pages in the file, the row reappears on the left, but the page number has jumped by about six, so six thumbnails are missing.
I have tried resetting the panel with "Window>Workspace>Reset Advanced", but that doesn't make any difference.
I have also tried resetting all the preferences by restarting InDesign with Ctrl-Alt-Shift held down. I answer yes to the "reset preferences" dialog, but this still does not fix the Pages panel.
There are several threads on this bug. One user on this forum had to reformat his computer and reinstall all his software, and the moderator closed the thread (here) as "answered". I don't consider that an "answer". Is there any solution that doesn't require reinstalling all my software?

Pages Panel Empty

I am using Indesign CS5.5 and my pages panel is completely empty. Can someone help me get it functioning again?

Missing pages panel

Please help!
I am working in CS3 InDesign (5.03 updated)and my pages panel is missing. Well missing is not right, it is there but it is empty. All other panels are working OK but pages panel is empty, no master pages, no delete page icon etc.
I have tried deleting InDesign preferences, restarting them, change workspace to default, reseting panels from inside InDesign. Nothing helps, except reinstalling. But after a while problem re appears. My "solution" takes a lot of time and ultimately does not fix the problem.
Anyone has a similar problem and how do you fix it?

Interesting. A better solution to my apparently somewhat related
unrelated problem is reproduced below:

I took that to mean delete all the files in that folder, and it worked
for me (actually my folder structure was a little different, and I moved
the files somewhere else, and then deleted them a week later, when I was
sure everything was still working).
My problem (not being able to copy and paste text out of Indesign into
other apps) was fixed by loading ID under a new account (but it came
back when I went back to my old account). But I didn't want to take the
time to make a new account look like my existing account, so I used the
solution above.
So if this comes back, or if you want to try some voodoo to try and make
sure it doesn't come back, try deleting the files in the above temp folder.

Page numbers in page panel don't match current page numbers

Hi all,
I have been working with InDesign for a decade now and never had this problem.
I created a document in InDesign CS 5.5, very simple and with consecutive pages, no sections etc.
My page numbers show up correctly on my spreads. BUT, for some reason, the numbers that are shown in the page panel, underneath the page icons, are different. The first page is named "11", followed by 12-17, then the numbers jump to 111, 112 etc. I selected all pages and chose "Numbering and Section Options", setting them all to automatic page numbering, but to no avail.
As I said, the actual page number on the page is unaffected. But this bugs me since I am afraid that the document is somehow messed up.
I am using a simple InDesign document, no book file.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thank you so much!

Thank you - I just found the solution to my problem (after playing around some more), and it turns out to be rather simple. In Numbering & Section Options, the Section Prefix was set to "1" - this field needs to be clear. That's why InDesign would add a 1 to every number.

APEX listener - empty page ??

Hi,
I have installed tomcat / APEX listener on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (with 11gR2 database)
The configuration seems to be done ... but the page: http://oel52server:8080/apex/apex give me an empty page ?
do you know what's wrong ?
Cyryl

Thanks for the answers.
I have a similar problem-- but I believe it may not be because of JDK ver. (becaue I already use ver. 6.0).
Although I am able to see the Apex login page. http://localhost:8888/apex/, but no images are displayed. Moreover it asks for Workspace, Username, Password which I am unaware of (it did not ask for any such information while installing apex). It looks like none of the buttons/links are active. Did I do anything wrong while installing apex?
This is how I installed Apex.
1. Downloaded and installed tomcat application server and Apex Listener as per the instructions given in the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_listener_install_web.html
(section B. Installing with Apache Tomcat in the installation )
2. The images are copied to the following location (as given in the instruction):
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.24\webapps\ROOT\images
3. Started both oracle db server and tomcat app. server
4. Opened the page http://localhost:8888/apex/Config
at this point I get the login page with no images and inactive links/buttons.
Appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Pravy

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 you make each page show a different name in the pages panel?

I would like to be able to name each page with a different name so they display in the pages panel (under the page icon) with a different name for each page rather than just 1, 2, 3 etc. eg. page one called 'Matt', page 2 called 'Satin', page 3 'Gloss. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes, but it might not work the way you fully intend.
On each page in the "pages" panel, right click and choose 'Numbering & Section Options'.
From the popup, select 'Start Page Numbering At' and add the page number. Eg, Page 1 would be 1, Page 2 would be 2 etc (you need to do this for each page)If you don't want numbers, you can select from their 'Style' dropdown but you must select something
In the 'Section Prefix' box, enter the text you would like displayed - Matt, Satin, Gloss etc
If you want these names to show up in the document as a page number, select 'Include prefix when numbering pages'
The result of this is that each page is now it's own section of the document.

How to print a empty page in a Layout

Hi Mohana,
Create one new page and one window of almost page size with no contents. Move that window to this page. Keep this page as first page and give earlier first page as next page to this newly created page.

Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

Hi all,
Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank). I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail. This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created. I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
I've also tried binning the preferences and this hasn't helped...
Any thoughts where to start? My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
Any help would be very much appreciated...

I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

No option to Load Master Pages on Pages Panel (Windows)

Hi there.... I'm a longtime user in the Mac platform, but am now doing some smaller projects in a Windows platform. The Load Master Pages is not even listed among the choices when I view the Pages panel using CS6. What doi need to toggle on/off and where is it in order to get this option in the menu list please? Thanks for your help as I'm really at a loss here.

I understood that is where this was being posted, as that was the forum I chose. If not, twas not intentional.

Supress empty page which is due to dynamic page (smartforms)

hi all,
i' ve got the problem that i get an empty page at the end of my printout.
the forms is defined as following:
first_page - following page: next_page
next_page - following page: next_page
and in the main window i have a dynamic page (via command node)
confirmation_page - following page: manual_guide_page
manual_guide_page - following page: first_page
the problem is the following page of my last dynamic page, but it is not possible to leave the following page in that case empty and it is necessary to use a page with a main window.
has anyone an idea how i can solve this problem??
it it possible to stop printing a page that is empty in smartforms, as i can't set any conditions for the page itself.
thanks!

you can put condition like in your program lines
DESCRIBE TABLE gt_lips LINES gv_lines.
gv_tabix = sy-tabix + gv_tabix.
in COMMAND node put condition like GV_TABIX LE GV_LINES
you wont get empty pages...

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

Can someone help me retrieve my pages panel?

My Pages panel has disappeared. It isn't an option to view it at all. I tried trashing the pages panel plugin and replacing it, trashing indesign preferences and restarting (pressing shift/control/option/command while starting indesign) and disabling/enabling the pages panel hyperlink in extensions manager. None of this has worked. Can someone help me? Very frustrated.

Yes, uninstall InDesign, but try the other stuff first. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for info on the clearer tool.
