Font and page layout

All-in-one PSC 2355 had for several years trouble free, lately have printed screen shots on web and in email and the result is a reduced font and smaller layout. unable to find a solution on tech help pages or help in installed software. My PC is Packard Bell imedd, operating system Vista basic 32bit. Also use the wireless connection through my hub to print from a laptop.
This question was solved.

Hi - A couple of things to try. If you're using Internet Explorer, try these steps:
- Depending on the version of IE, click File, Print Preview and change the "Shrink to Fit" option to a different percentage.
- Click View (or Page, depending on the version) and Text Size. Change it to one of the larger sizes.
Hope that helps.

Combining word processing and page layout templates

Does anyone know how to (or if it's possible at all) merge or combine a Pages 09 document set up on the "Pages Layout" template with one set up on "Word Processing" template properly? Can these two templates "talk to each other"?
I'm trying to combine some of my separate class notes for my students into one file, and some were created in Page Layout, with visuals, charts, pics, etc. I also have some Word Document notes that I'd like to merge with the other notes to create one "class notes" file for my students. But I can't seem to do that, for some reason. I can copy individual pages from the Page Layout notes and paste them into my Word Document notes, but they paste as two pages (one page is blank). When I delete that page, the other one is deleted, too. I can't copy and paste from the other direction (word doc to page layout) at all, and like I said, the other way is a little off, as well.
Any ideas, or is this just not possible in Pages 09? Thanks.

Re: Jerry
I'd like to stay in one or the other, but I just like features that are only in one or the other. For example, I like in WP mode that when I get to the end of a page of writing and keep going, a new page appears (with formatting and layout intact on the next). If I'm in PL mode and writing in a text box, it just goes beyond the viewable screen. I also like the ability to select and move around individual pages in PL mode, and that doesn't seem to be available in WP mode (they're all stuck together and move in clumps). But you're right, I'm just going to have to stick with one and figure out some workarounds for some things I like. Since I think I'll be more in WP mode, I'll try to move stuff over from PL.
Re: Peter
Thanks for the advice... it's already helped me try to come up with some ways to fix things. The whole click away thing to give me floating objects has been great! You're right, this does seem like a design flaw, but I suppose Apple can't be all things to all people. Still, I'd like a little more...
Re: Yvan
Hang in there! You're right, Pages is tough when trying to use created projects in other apps! Like you said, I'm working to rebuild the layout. By the way, my PL document was 16 pages, which when transferred to WP mode doubled in size! Sheesh...
Thanks to all—I think I'm going to be able to work through this "issue" after all. I appreciate everyone's help.

File/Import and Page Layout not working anymore

I have a question about old software: FrameMaker 6.0 on a Mac. (While Adobe encouraged me to purchase this in 2001 for the chemistry textbook I am writing, I had invested to much to abandon it when Adobe abandoned the Mac version a few years later.)
I have imported dozens of images files into the 750 page book and FrameMaker has accepted both tif and jpg formats. The way I did it was to create an anchored frame in the textbook, click on it, and then File>Import and select the image file and then choose whether I wanted it to be referenced or actually in the text. All of this worked fine... until a couple of days ago.
Problems
1. I no longer get Import as an option under File and
2. FrameMaker no longer recognizes tif and jpg files under "All Readable Documents" when I do File>Open. I have to click on Show All Files to see them.
As a result I am unable to import any tif or jpg files into the FrameMaker textbook.
What's curious is that I have 6.0 installed on both a G4 and a PowerBook and this problem has occurred on both at the same time.
3. And I just discovered that when I do Format/Page Layout the half a dozen or so custom formats that I had are no longer listed.
So what has caused this loss of memory for Framemaker that it can no longer do what it has done for me for years. (I am somewhat sympathetic to it's memory loss myself as a 78 year old user.)
The G4 has been unplugged recently but in the past it has been unplugged for a week or so and there were no problems.

I don't know if read-only files are recognized by FrameMaker to the point where it will dim commands that need to write to the files.
It's always a good idea on Mac to repair permissions with Disk Utility - make sure you have good backups, just in case.
Have you tried saving a file that can't import as MIF, then opening the MIF version to restore the file, and perhaps lose any corruption in it? This is called the "MIF Wash."
I think the latest Mac OS that FrameMaker can work with is system 9, or the Classic simulator that runs on the OS X release called Tiger. I'm sure you'd know if you changed operating systems in this period. Classic won't run on Intel Macs.
I have no other clues about what might cause this, except the general thought that something has changed on your systems or in the files you're working with. Does the problem persist in a brand-new file you create on your local drive? If you're working with FM files on a network, have you tried the process with files on your local computer drive? Have you quit FrameMaker and restarted your Macs? Any change? If you have a cloned bootable backup of your stuff from before the problem arose, you might want to try cloning your problematic drive to a new bootable backup, then restoring the known good clone, to see if it works.

Working with master pages and page layout, what I have been doing wrong

I have worked on customizing the page layout and the master pages for a couple of site collections.
But now I read two restrictions which I was not following 100%:-
I should avoid directly modifying any default templates, and instead of that I should take a copy and modify the copy. So that any future updates will not override my modifications.
Also I should avoid directly modifying the .aspx files, and instead of that I should edit the html file which will automatically reflect on the .aspx files.
So currently I have these cases inside my SharePoint sites:-
Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I have being modifying the Enterprisewiki.aspx page layout, for example I added new columns such as Page title and I remove the page rating, also the chnaged the color and format for the page fields.
Inside my team site I took a copy of the seatle.master master page (I name it seatle_copy.master)and I apply my modification to the seatle_copy.master directly and not inside the .html file. Even I do not have a html version for the modified seatle_copy.master?
So can anyone advice how I can fix these two issues. For the first issue how I can make sure that my modifications to the EnterPriseWiki.aspx page layout will not get override during any future update.
also how I can generate an html version for my current seatle_copy.master file so that I can modify the seatle_copy.html instead of the seatle_copy.master in the future?
Please can anyone advice?

Hi johnjohn123,
1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
master page gallery.
2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
modify the default.
If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.

Transferring Custom Master-Page, Custom Page Layouts and Pages created to a new SharePoint Site.

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 Publishing Site for testing named 'Test'. In the Test I have created a Custom Master-Page and several Custom Page Layouts. Also using them I have created several pages. Now they all are connected to the navigation. Now I want
to transfer all the pages, custom master-page and custom page layouts to a new site (a publishing site) that will be used as production. Will I able to do this or not. Please advice me with best practices.
Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi Chiranthaka,
thanks for posting your query, The master page can't be copied in designer and pasted into the new site collection. A better approach would be to bundle it into a feature and deploy it to the farm where it can't be activated and used.
If you want to copy your master page to another site collection you can download your master page from the master page gallery and upload it to the the master page gallery of the second site collection. From the root site Site Actions > Site Settings
> (Galleries)Master pages and page layouts
If you want to deploy the same master page to multiple site collections using a feature, create a module in Visual Studio, add your custom master page to the module, and create an element manifest something like this:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Master Pages" List="116" Url="_catalogs/masterpage" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Path="Master Pages\MyCustom.master" Url="MyCustom.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary"></File>
</Module>
</Elements>
The basic idea is to have your site-scoped feature include a module that copies your custom master page from the file system to the masterpage gallery. Since the feature folder is shared, the same master page gets copied to the site collection master page
gallery whenever you activate the feature.
I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

Subsite not picking page layout and masterpage

I have migrated from sharepoint 2007 to 2010 , everything looks fine , but when i am creating publishing subsite master shows broken css and it has wierd look,
how can i have same look and feel like parent in sub site including mater page and page layout?
Thanks,

1)
<site url>/_layouts/changesitemasterpage.aspx
this should give you a page where you can tell all subsites to inherit current master page, css, etc...
2)how many web parts are on the page?
the ribbon is "context sensitive" meaning if there is more than 1 web part on the page, you have to highlight the web part you want to edit in order for the ribbon to show up.

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"

SharePoint Bug? Conflict Error when saving a Page with a "Required" DateTime field in the page layout

Hello,
I've just recently encountered a weird error / bug in SharePoint. Here is the scenario:
- I have a custom column "Test Date" that is of DateTime field type. The field is configured as REQUIRED.
- It is added to a custom Content Type "Test CT" that is based on a "Publishing Page" content type
- I have created a Page Layout "Test PL" which is based on that particular content type.
Now here is what happens:
1. I try to create a page based on both that Content Type and Page Layout in the Pages Library. I manage to create it successfully.
2. However, when I go to try and edit the page, fill-in the required values and try to save it using the PAGE TAB -> SAVE BUTTON, I get the below error/s. Note that this happens no matter what I choose in the drop-down menu for Save Button.
"The file XXX has been modified by USER on DATE"
But I know I am the ONLY user modifying the page.
If I try to save again it gives me options to whether Discard my Changes, Keep Editing, Overwrite Changes, or Merge.
3. HOWEVER, if I use the Save button on the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen (the shortcut). I am able to save successfully without any errors!
The only thing I've tried that made it work was if I made the DateTime OPTIONAL. But I need it to be REQUIRED.
Is there any workaround to this error / bug?
Thanks

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

Designer 2013 - Design Manager: Page layout created is not showing up in Designer

Hello everyone,
I greatly need assistance. I have wasted over 1/2 a day trying to fix this issue.
I have a site with a subsite. I'm customizing the subsite using the Design Manager. I've been through all of the steps and now I've created a Page Layout (step 6). I created the html and it generated the aspx. I have a drive mapped to the master page
gallery. The files are showing up in the mapped drive. However, when I go into Designer 2013 and click Master Pages, the files aren't there. This happened to me last week and then suddenly, almost magically if you will, the files were there. This was after
refreshing several times, closing Designer and opening it up. All the little tricks you have to use with Designer every now and then. So today I was repeating the process and the files aren't showing up again. I've been refreshing for 4 hours, closed Designer,
even rebooted. To no avail. I disconnected the mapped drive and reconnected. Nothing.
I have the correct permissions. I'm not only the site collection administrator but I'm also the SP Admin.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa

Master Objects in Page layout

It seems from a number of archived posts that Master Objects dont work when in page layout mode. The help menu says its possible but doesnt say how.
I think this should be considered a bug as Page layout needs master as much as word processing.
Any thoughts?

I was hoping to use Pages for a relatively simple newsletter. Today, I started trying to learn Pages. What a disappointment! I wish to prepare a simple multi-page newsletter. master pages, and the ability to place small master objects such as logo's are important. The job really needs to be done in layout mode. And the Pages' limitation that there be one and only one page in each section of a layout document is a show-stopper. This seriously cripples the utility of master objects, and thus the whole Pages program.
To make matters worse, the Apple documentation is, I believe, very misleading. It clearly implies one can do things such as have different master object positioning in facing pages of a layout document. But, it appears one simply cannot do this with any degree of ease. (I've copied relevant text from the Pages Help documentation below, so you can judge for yourselves....)
Apple: you need to update this program, and until you do, you need to be sure the documentation accurately reflects what the program can and cannot do.
Someone please let me know if I'm wrong!
From the pages help menu: "You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in the same spot on every page of your word processing and page layout documents. These repeated graphics are called master objects.
If your document is divided into sections, you can put different master objects in each section. Within a section, you can put a different master object on the first page of the section and on right and left pages in the section. See Setting Up a Unique Format for a Section’s First Page and Formatting Facing Pages in a Section for more information."

Is Unicode Bangla Fonts and Unicode Bangla Keyboards are compatible with Mac OS 10.4.11?

Hi,
Please let me know if those are compatible with my MB.
I also need to know the process or method of removing or uninstalling the bangla fonts and keyboards from the system. Please guide me.
I deleted few files in removing the fonts and keyboard layout, but the Unijoy and Rapali layouts remain in the input source. Is that gonna clash if i reinstall the fonts and keyboard layout again.
After removing the fonts and keyboard layout, I opened the preference pane, then i checked the box from the input menu, then i opened the MS Word to see if the fonts and layouts are removed properly or not, i thought i won't be able to type, but i was wondering that what files i removed.
Actually I was facing trouble in typing the Conjunct bangla words since the installations, conjunct words not working as per the typing guide says. That's why i tried to remove it and install again. Now i am confused.
I look forward to your help.

Hi Omar,
I'm not familiar with hose but try thee steps...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Then open Fon't Book & Validate all Fonts & check for duplicates.

Saving a brochure that it is in page layout

Please, please help.
I chose the landscape brochure in the 'template chooser' in pages. Made all the changes that I wished to make - put in photos in the photo areas and text in the text areas and then proceeded to save it as 'brochure.pages'. However it would not save as a .pages or as .template. What am I doing wrong please? I have to close all down now and am going to lose all I have done.
deirdre18

deirdre,
Just to get the terminology straight, Pages Templates come in two types: Word Processing and Page Layout. It's not clear to me from what you have written what your end goal is. You talk about having difficulty saving to certain filename extensions, but what is your objective?
If you are making changes to a template and you want to save the result as a custom template, do as Brie suggested: Make you changes and then File > Save As Template...
If you just want to save your work which began as a standard template so that you can retrieve it later, make your changes and then File > Save.
There's no bug here that I'm aware of. Don't worry about the filename extensions. They will take care of themselves.
Jerry

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

How do you set defaults in pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template). I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

PFD's -- can 'font size' and 'page formatting' be user-controlled?

Can the *font size* and *page formatting* -- including *page size* -- of a PDF document be altered for printouts?
Also, does this vary from one PDF reader to another, or is it pretty much standard?
Thanks.

Can you explain why you want to do this? There may be a solution.
One reason is that many PDF's print in a larger font than I would like. I was imagining having control of the page layout and appearance the way you do in most situations, and wondering whether PDF's could be similarly controlled by the user -- at least in those respects (I know they are not designed to be 'edited').
