Fixed section or layout breaks

In pages, is there a way to fix a section or layout break to start at the second page?
All I have found thus far are floating section breaks. As I type more on the first page, the section break moves down, so I later have to move it to the start of the second page manually. I would like it to be fixed to start on the second page and have the text flow around the break.

If you describe what you want to do in more detail, it's possible there may be a different way to do what you want. Section breaks are not the feature you are looking for to do this, since they pretty much define the end of text flow -- text in one section can't flow to another, and thus can't flow around a section break.

  • Headers, Sections Breaks and Layout Breaks

    I need to be able to turn Headers on and off in different places in the documents.  In Appleworks I would make a section break, tell it not to carry over the headers and footers from the previous section, and that was it.  In Pages 09, Section breaks start a new page, which I don't want.  Layout breaks don't start a new page, but I don't see I can tell it to NOT carry over the headers and footers from the previous Layout.  Is there no way to do this?

    I really don't understand where is the problem with the need to insert a section break to ask the app to use a different page header.
    The headers appear on top of pages which means that they appear after pages or section breaks.
    It seems that you did something wrong. When I insert a section break the app doesn't create a new page, it insert a forced separation between two existing pages.
    Are you sure that you used the menu "Insert a section break" ?
    My guess is that you used "Insert a Section".

  • Removing Blank Space (line) Accompanying Layout Breaks

    I've used a layout break to make a portion of text two-column after a one-column section. Whatever I do, whereever I put it, the layout break takes space. It's a farily tight document, in a 10pt. font, and the line the layout break takes screws up the layout of the whole page. How can I get it to not put a whole blank line between the one-column section and the two-column section?

    I might not fully understand the problem but take the paragraph break off the end of the line on the first section:

  • Layout Break Space Before Paragraph

    I am using a layout break in pages. I have a heading style with a background fill on my paragraph. I have a before paragraph space of 14. If I place the heading style right after a layout break (at the top of the new layout section) it eats my before paragraph space. Seems like a bug but I thought I would ask if anyone has a solution or workaround.
    Thanks
    Chris

    It may not be completely intuitive, but that is how it is supposed to work. Space before and space after apply between paragraphs in a layout section but not at the beginning or end of a layout section or at the beginning or end of a page. It is sort of like the way the last character in a word can be right against the margin and yet the next line does not have to start with a space; the area outside the margins can "count" for this kind of white space. A layout break works like a margin here, even if it is in the middle of a page (and not necessarily preceded by white space).
    If you are producing a multipage document, you normally want the tops of the text blocks of each page to line up at the margin, not jump up and down if one page happens to start with a new paragraph that has a space before set.
    To deal with your situation with needing the white space at the beginning of a new layout section, with the cursor in that section, use the Layout pane of the Inspector to set the "Before" margin of that section to, for example, 14 pts.

  • Layout Breaks are inserting a big gap in my document

    Inserting a Layout Break before and after an area of a page that needs to be in two columns leaves about 25 points of space above and below the columned area. This space is unaffected by paragraph spacing, line spacing, etc. It just occurs with the layout formatting. Why? This big gap in my document is throwing off the overall formatting. How do I make it smaller/go away? Any ideas much appreciated!

    z,
    You might try clicking on the Layout inspector > Layout button, and take a look at the Before setting. Reduce the number there and the space should reduce correspondingly.

  • How can I remove space inserted by layout break?

    Does anyone know how to get rid of the blank line added by inserting a layout break?
    I have a word processing document that has a title, authors, affiliation etc centered as a single column at the top of the page followed by a layout break and the rest of the document text in two columns. The problem is that the layout break inserts a blank line so instead of a continuous single line spacing throughout the document its two parts are separated by blank line.

    Hi MartinSmith,
    Welcome to Pages '09 discussions.
    I'm not quite sure what you're doing so here's what I did:
    1. Created a new document
    2. At the top I put Author below that Affiation then immediately did Insert > Layout Break
    3. Made the remaining of the page two columns.
    My document doesn't have the extra line feed you speak of. It most likely is I'm not following your lead. Please provide more information so we may better assist you.

    I'm editing my resume and added some columns in. The columns look nice but the layout break spacing is way to far apart. How do I modify this? Please see the inserted image for a better idea.

  • Page layout breaks when Editing page

    I've created a site for a client who wants to use Contribute
    to edit it. The site wasn't built with Dreamweaver (hand-coded).
    Pages look fine when they're loaded in the Contribute window, but
    when he goes to Edit the page, the layout breaks. it's a table-less
    CSS-based layout with some includes, but it looks fine when
    initially loaded. After editing & publishing, the page
    generally looks fine again. This would only be a minor annoyance,
    but sometimes there are blocks of text that, when Editing, suddenly
    seem to have a near-zero line spacing....so he can't see what he's
    trying to edit. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
    thanks,
    benjy

    Check out this thread, maybe you can handcode editable
    regions.

  • Fix the forced line break bug already!

    Illustrator has had the same bug since version 11. In 5 consecutive versions!
    Forced line break in a justified text behave like a paragraph ending (Enter) aligning the line before the forced line break left. It looks like a new paragraph but it is just incorrectly aligned line in the middle of a paragraph.
    Also Find & Replace recognizes only forced line break but (^n) not paragraph ending (^p) although both can be used in text.
    Since discretionary hyphens do not have an effect whatsoever it requires a lot of manual editing to make typographically acceptable text block to the back of a book jacket.
    So, Adobe. How hard is exactly fix this very annoying bug which has been reported dozens of times? It has even been demonstrated to your tech people who agreed that it really is a bug and should be fixed.

    A force line break is still the same paragraph. You won't see a difference unless there is some text change with each new paragraph, such as a style change or the addition of space before or after a paragraph. The forced line break can also be used as a trigger in a nested style to make the first line or lines formatting for a paragraph different from the following lines.

  • Div layout breaks apart

    I have created a CSS div layout contained within an overall
    div so I can syle layout to a fixed width.
    I have styled container "overflow: hidden" but internal divs
    still break apart in IE.
    I have reduced px width of center content div but that makes
    no difference either.
    Site URL is:

    Layout should look like this screenshot:

  • Using liquid on web detail layout breaks template

    I am using an if logic tag to hide text if a web field is empty in the web detail layout but it breaks the template - none of my content holders in the page template are rendering.
    The actual if tag is doing its job and hiding the text.
    If I render the webapp to a normal html page with the if logic tag, the template does not break.
    I read somewhere in the documentation that all the tags must be rendered in liquid.
    Is it not possible at this stage to add liquid to the web detail layout?

    It will not be a bug because liquid works in detail layouts and everywhere just fine.
    Can you post the code as it is likely you have an error.
    You DO NOT need to do all liquid - Please ensure your not reading old documentation about the old liquid, what we have now and what was done previously are quite different.

  • How did you fixed your headphone jack breaking since verizon sucks at customer service

    My headphone jack literally just stopped working. All the stuff I have read online is showing that most LG G2 users have this exact problem. I would like to know how to get mine fixed since verizon is sending me on a rat race to find out what to do.

    There has been no damage to the phone. I have tried four different head phones. When it started all i had to do was twist the head phone and the phone would lose connection. When that happens on the LG it completely stops playing music, turns the display screen on, and sometimes changed settings while in my pocket. I used compressed air to try to clean it and a paper clip. Shortly after it completely stopped working unless i held it in place which of course is horribly annoying. I use my phone with its million features and apps to basically make phone calls, text, flash light, and you guessed it, listen to music. Without music i have , literally, little use for this phone. Trying to contact customer service has been extraordinarily frustrating. I called the store i bought the phone and told the girl working that from what i read online, this phone suffers from this problem a lot. To me that means the manufacturer is selling faulty product that will knowingly break. And of all things, the head phone Jack? They've been around for how many years now? The girl working agreed with me that they break often and told me to remove the battery and put it back in. On a phone that doesn't allow you to remove the battery. Then she gives me a number i call that then tells me to get some other phone to call a different number which is not what i need. I need information on how to fixed or have it replaced. I had purchased insurance but when my card maxed the insurance plan was cancelled. I've had it for over a year so the warranty is gone. Now I have a phone that doesn't do the one thing i like it to do While employees admit to me they break often over the very problem i presented. Very frustrating to buy a phone, which by the way is really a great phone, that can no longer do what my 20 year old CD player can still do, connect to the headphone jack.
