Format Bar is incomplete

Why is the Format Bar in a document lacking the icon for alignment? Because of this, I cannot center the page numbers in the footnotes of that doc. & Pages cannot explain this. Thanks for some help &
understanding.

If you are forced to work with a very narrow window hiding the 'center' button, you may center text thru the menu item :
Format > Text > Center
or thru it's shortcut cmd + | (vertical bar)

In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

Where did the format bar go? How do I change a column to currency/percentage/ etc...?

The format bar in numbers 3.0 has been removed. I need to change a column and/or row to either currency, text, percentage, etc...

Hi jshmo,
You can do it this way. Select the cells you want, click the Format brush upper right and this will appear in the panel at the right. You may need to click the Cell tab.

Where is the Format Bar in 5.0?

Where is the Format Bar in Pages 5.0? It would also appear that some of the tools such as list styles that were formerly available are missing as well.

You can archive (compress) Pages 5 after exporting all the files back to Pages '09.
I suggest rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store, to slowly hammer home the message to an Apple that is largely deaf to its users.
Apple may be regretting its own reviewing system, as users tell it just how much they hate what it has done.

Hide Format Bar, and or Ruler on Start:

I've tried looking through the forum here, and in the help files, but I must not be using the right words because I haven't found it yet. And I know it can be done because I've done it before.
I would like to have pages (numbers too, I guess), when it opens a new, blank, document (and all others, really) to not show the Format Bar, Tool Bar, Rulers and etc.
It was working, now all of a sudden...
Any ideas?

Rob,
I can't really address the "It was working, now all of a sudden..." part, but the other part is do-able. Since Pages doesn't offer global preferences to control the appearance of the format bar, tool bar and rulers, the way I'd approach it is by creating a blank template with all the stuff turned off that I don't want, with the styles I need, and the type face that looks the best. Then I'd do a File > Save As Template. You can go into Pages' preferences and have that template always start up whenever you load Pages.

Problem with "Show Format" bar in Mail

The bold, italic, and underline buttons are not working on my "Show Format" bar in Mail. NOTHING will make them work: clicking on a button before I type: selecting/highlighting and then clicking on a button after I type; choosing command+I, command+B before or after, etc. No problem changing font size there, or with any of the other features of the bar. I there a bug in Mail???

Hello Audric. Try this first:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

How can I turn off automatic right side format bar?

Using Pages 5.0 + Mavericks: When I open any Pages document (new or old), there appears a format bar on the right. It's a nuisance to have to manually close it each time. Is there some way that I can turn off that format bar so it won't appear unless I choose it?

Thanks for your reply...at least I'm not alone in failing to find a cure

Just got a new Macbook Pro with Maverick. In Mail, how do you get the format bar to show?

Allow Customization of Format Bar

I think I know the reasons why Apple does not "want us" to customize the Format Bar (because it is contextual, which is a good thing) but I sure would like to at least rearrange the items that appear.
For example, the increase/decrease decimal points are just in the wrong order for me. I would prefer fewer decimals to be on the left and more decimals on the right.
I am glad to see the past sort of repeating itself - I basically used Trapeze waaaay back in the late 80's while in college. Great piece of software for an engineering student! Anyway, some minor "improvements" I would like to see are the ability to dynamically change the size of a table and to perform matrix operations.
Thanks Apple.

Make sure you send your suggestions to Apple. You can do this through Numbers' Main Menu "Provide Numbers Feedback."

Quickaccess and Formatting bar both missing in 7.2

I was wondering if anyone had encountered this before:
I just recently re-installed FrameMaker 7.2 on a XP SP2 machine and I am unable to get both the Quickaccess and Formatting bar to display. Both are set to "on" in the .ini files and when I try to access them under View nothing happens at all. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sheila,
I actually thought about that last night after I posted this. I'll give it a try and let you know. I am expecting that might not be the case, however, because the check mark never shows up for the bars in question under view and I seem to recall that happening before when they were active?
To answer your question about the 2 maker.ini files, yes I checked the one in documents and settings and the one in program files.
Thanks for your help so far.

Firefox blocks email features when using dotEasy email. The formatting bar is not available when trying to write a text. If I open dotEasy in Chrome it works fine. Why?

I'm using Windows XP. When opening dotEasy.com with Mozilla Firefox and password into my account, the email account opens but the formatting bar is missing. When I open dotEasy with Chrome, it works. Why?

You can try to modify the user agent to Firefox/9.0.2 in case it fails on browser detection.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues
*User Agent Switcher: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
If that works then you can contact the website to inform them that they need to revise their browser detection code.

Why won't the font formatting options appear in the format bar in full screen mode?

The font formatting options (bold, italic, and underline, and left, center, right, and justified) do NOT appear in the format bar in full screen mode.
I'm running version 2.2 of iBooks Author and 10.10 of the OS X.
I've included screenshots bellow.

I think you need to ask Apple to fix that

Format bar woes

I like the way in which the format bar changes depending on the context.
However, is there any way to change the items that appear on it? There are three different buttons that select bold/italics. This seems like a waste of screen real estate.
In particular, I'd like to get rid of the unnecessary 'character style' and 'typeface' buttons.

napauser,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
When you say it's inactive, do you mean that clicking on the icons produces no effect, or that the icons are grayed out?

Format Bar inquiry

I am new to Apple and iWorks. I just bought a used PowerBook G4 with 12.1" screen for use at school. I am using Numbers '09. Each time it opens up, the format bar is so long that it is off of the screen. Can I adjust the format bar to show the whole format bar on my 12.1" screen? Or, is that a future feature in Numbers '10? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple forums
Unfortunately, the format bar cannot be edited at all, only the tool bar can.
Or, is that a future feature in Numbers '10?
Anyone who knows if it will be in the next version, whatever the name, is under an Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) & can't say. I certainly hope the ability to change the size of the icons have it wrap to a second line does happen. I suggest you leave feedback for the Numbers team regarding this. You can find it under the Numbers menu > Provide Numbers Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.
