Formating in Pages

Can you format individual pages differently in Pages...using different margins, tabs, etc?
Thanks.

Yes, you can. You need to set the document margins in the inspector to the largest you will need. Then you can set lesser margins & any tabs using paragraph styles.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

    That is not the issue.
    Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
    It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
    It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
    It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
    A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

  • Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc

    Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc. When a page is added/removed, folios and rules remain in right page orientation even if they've just become left hand pages, and vice versa. Forced to keep taking the additional steps of applying master to pages which is incredibly annoying/did not use to happen.

  • The infamous Conditional Formatting and page numbers

    I've been digging through these posts and I see that conditional formatting and page numbers is a common topic, but none of the posts I've seen seem to come up with an answer to my suituation:
    (Apologies in advance, I know this has been covered in many previous posts, just don't seem to be able to decipher a clear answer...)
    I have a client who wants a boilerplate item - the word "OVER", to signify a miltiple page report - to be printer on the botton right of the page, BUT as usual there are seeveral conditions when they want it NOT to show.
    First, they wnat it to only print when a specific Source is selected. That's a database field, and I have that conditional formatting piece working,
    Second, they only want it to print on ODD numbered pages, I think I can use something like MOD(SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(x),2)=0 to determine whether or not it's an odd numbered page, but havn't been able to try it yet,
    Third, if the report is only a single page they don't want it to print at all. Not sure how to accomplish this, since the holy grail of the conditional formatting seems to be the total number of pages, and none of the posts I've seen have been able to get this.
    Any ideas?

    The "Select All" button selects all cells that have the format you are looking at. It makes it so you can easily modify them all at once.

  • Formatting from Pages to Word- Headers

    I'm trying to format my Pages 09 document into a Word format and can't figure out the headers. I want to include name, title and automatic page number on each page, except for the cover (first) page. It seems my previous Pages settings are not allowing this? Can anyone help?

    Anne
    I have received your document.
    Here is how to achieve what you want:
    *First so that you can see what is happening:*
    +Menu > View > Page Thumbnails/Show Styles Drawer/Show Layout/Show Invisibles/Rulers+
    You can turn these off later by doing the same in reverse: +Hide Layout/Hide Invisibles+ etc.
    *Click at the foot of the first page:*
    +Inspector > Document > Documents > Document margins > Uncheck Headers and Footers+
    +Menu > Insert > Section break+
    *Click at the top of the 2nd page and delete any unwanted returns:*
    +Inspector > Document > Documents > Document margins > Check Headers+
    +Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > uncheck Continue from previous section/check Start at > "1"+
    +Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Uncheck First Page is different/ Check use previous Headers and Footers (because you will want this to run right through the document)+
    Click in the Header (the skinny box at the top of the page) and set up tabs.
    Click in the middle of the Ruler and a tab will appear. By default it is a left tab. Right mouse Click on the tab and choose the centre tab (a diamond).
    Click in the right side of the Ruler a little in from the right margin. Right mouse Click on the tab and choose the right tab (a triangle pointing in to the left).
    Click in the Header and type your Name (tab) The Title Tab (tab) +Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…+
    Select everything in the Header and make it a small font of your choice so that it fits.
    *To help with your general formatting.*
    You should use Styles by fixing the Header1 style the way you like it including:
    +Inspector > Text > Text > Spacing > After Paragraph > 58pts+ No more need to add multiple returns after.
    With the Header text selected, click on the red arrow next to the Header1 style (highlighted) in the *Styles Drawer* and choose *Redefine Style from Selection* .
    Click in the body type and slide the flat blue bar to the left a bit more, this sets your first line indent and you won't need to type a tab at the start of paragraphs. Redefine this as your Body style Currently everything is in your Header style.
    If you have any further questions just ask and have a look through this site:

    Best of luck with the book.

  • How can I use other endnote bibliography formats in Pages '13?

    It's really stupid program. In my uni, we use our own reference style, and I'm using endnote X7. I have used whole time today to change endnote format in pages'13. But, I could note change. the bibliography formats are fix to some popular referencing style. it's really rubbish program to uni studnets. I have wasted 1 day. do you have any ideas?

    yep I tried everything what I can do.
    I have iwork '09. so, I uninstall iWork'13 and reinstalled iWork '09. but, iWork '09 is not working on Maverick.
    So, I have checked any update for iWork '09, but Apple does not support uptating for iWork'09. only ungrading to iWork'13 is possible.
    Endnote and pages both companies, they don't have any soultion for this problem.
    (even though I installed 2.0 endnotepages plug in, still I cannot change bibliography format).
    So, I'm gonna back to Ms-word. Pages'13 is not ready for uni students.
    Pages is just another notepad app for IOS. it's not for Mac user.

  • How to set paragraph format in Pages?

    I'm a novelist.  I have had trouble setting and maintaining a paragraph format in Pages.  I've manually created a format then copied and pasted that format, but it doesn't maintain the indentations and spacing I want. 
    I've completely left Word, although it's quite easy to set paragraph format and indentation there.
    I want to write my new novel exclusively in Pages.  Can anyone help?

    See Chapter 6 of the Pages User Guide PDF. You can download it from the Help menu.
    Once you have mastered Styles, you should be on top of this problem. You may have some specific questions on formatting along the way, and there are lots of experts here to help you.

    Newest compared to what?
    There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
    Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
    The answer varies.

  • I am a teacher and I would like to format my page in PAGES to have lines...similar to that of lined paper. Is this possible?

    I am a teacher and I would like to format my page in PAGES to have lines...similar to that of lined paper. Is this possible?

    Hi Jay,
    I've played with this before, but I was never happy with the result. I gave it another shot to answer your question, and I'm pretty pleased with this result. I'll say that you have a lot of latitude for adjustments in this template, so don't take it as being restrictive to what I'm illustrating. For instance, you can easily vary the line spacing, the weight of the lines, the color, etc.
    In this example, the pitch of the lines is 32 points per line, blue stroke, and I placed a light yellow shape in the background. Here's the approach...
    Open a blank Word Processing Template.
    View > Show Layout.
    Pages Preferences > Rulers > Ruler Units: Points.
    Insert > Table.
    Set the Table to 1-column, 0 Header Rows, and Footer Rows, Row Height = 32 points.
    In the Wrap Inspector, set the table to Floating, and Does NOT cause Wrap.
    Align the Top Left of the Table with the top Left of the Text Area.
    Increase the Column Width until the single column extends all the way across the Text Area.
    Increase the number of Rows until the table just fills the vertical Text Area of the page layout, plus one row..
    Set the Outside Cell Borders to None.
    Set the Mid Horizontal borders to Blue.
    With the entire Table Selected, Arrange > Send Object to Background. Format >Advanced > Move Objects to Section Master, Arrange > Lock
    If you want the colored background, Insert > Object > Rectangle. Graphics Inspector > Stroke > None. Color > your choice.
    Stretch the Shape to cover the entire page size. Arrange > Send Object to Background. Format > Advanced > Send Objects to Section Master.
    If the colored object is obscuring the lines, then: Arrange > Send Backward. In either case, Arrange > Lock.
    Paste a good size paragraph (several lines) into the document.
    Select the text. In the Text Inspector, set line spacing to Exactly and 32 Points.
    Inspect the alignment of the Text and the Lines. If you are not pleased, Select the Table and bump it up or down with the vertical Arrow keys.
    If you are satisfied, with the overall effect, Select all the Text and Type: Click here and enter text. Select the text "Click here and enter text." and Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
    As I mentioned at the outset, you can easily modify these instructions to increase or decrease the number of lines per page, the type size, etc.
    If you want to email me, I'll send you a copy of the template I displayed here.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • How Do I Avoid Losing Formatting When Pages documents Are Converted to PDF Files and Emailed?

    I put together a presentation piece with Pages, converted its 19 pages to pdf files, emailed the folder of pdf files to Staples for duplication, collation, and binding, and was disappointed to see some of my graphic frame formatting lost. 
    Can anyone please tell me how to avoid the loss in the future?  'Sure would appreciate it. 
    I was "raised" on Microsoft Publisher, then worked with Adobe Elements before switching to Mac.  For the most-part, I find Mac OSX 10.7.5 a joy to use, but it takes me quite a while to figure out how to bridge differences between PC and Mac applications.   Even though Mac applications tend to be straight forward, I loften find myself shaking my head and wondering how I could have been stumped so long by a little thing such as instant alpha.  I don't want to chalk up this difficulty in adapting  to old age, but could! (--Which translates:  Please be easy on the old lady!)  Thanking you in advance for such assistance as you might provide ...

    Upgrade to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, much better than Lion.
    I take it you are talking about Pages '09?
    Your problem is probably with anything that has transparency eg fancy frames, 3D charts, shadows, reflections because Pages exports all these to too low 72dpi resolution in .pdfs.
    Prepping files for commercial print is always a concern and you need at least some Pro skills, but Apple has made life even harder with key missing settings and inferior presets.
    The subject of preparing for print is rather broad and detailed.

  • Export Book as SWF - formatting (single page on screen at start)

    Was this book created in InDesign? http://www.qub.ac.uk/edu/Summer%2010%20Newsletter/
    I am currently working on an annual report and when finished want to save it in various formats, one being export to SWF with page turns. I successfully tested this earlier. The cover and subsequent pages of the report are all A4 size, however when exported as SWF it shows on the screen in my browser as landscape with a white A4 page next to the cover (to the left) and at the end next to the back cover (to the right). Why is this?
    Is there any way of exporting it so that as per the link above it starts of as a single page of just the cover and then goes into side by side pages when you turn the cover over and start reading?
    Also, different to saving an INDD as a print quality pdf, when I export to SWF the quality seems reduced, especially with the images (I used original tiff images as it will also be printed and saved as press quality pdf). Is there any way of keeping it as sharp as if it were being saved as press quality pdf?
    Finally, like the link above, can we add sound in InDesign to the swf page turns?

    That example you linked has most certainly been done from PDF file by using some commercial service which converts PDF file to digital magazine. You can do similar publications from InDesign CS4 or CS5 too. Check out http://www.prepress.fi/eDocker_eng ....
    If you want to get rid of that white area next to cover/backcover, simply draw a rectangle that overlaps a little with cover/backcover page, and color it gray. Just make sure it´s little bit bigger than your page size. InDesign exports it along SWF and if you use exactly same grey that has been used in background of html, nobody can see that empty area any more... here´s a sample: http://www.prepress.fi/e_newsS10
    Color values for that grey box are (in CS5) R153 G153 B153 (see images)
    If you have InDesign CS5 in use, you can add sound files to you indd. I have never used a page turn sound, but in theory it should work if you put a sound effect to every page and make it play automatically when page is opened... is it fast enough or is there some lag caused by loading..? I don´t know but if you have a sound file in right format, it´s easy to test.... and remember to test it also from server, not just locally...

  • How to insert different headers/footers according to recto/verso format in Pages 5.0 ?

    I formatted a document on Pages '09 with two different headers and footers because I print it recto/verso. When I opened this document with Pages 5.0 my headers/footers do no longer appeared and when I try to re-put it, I did not find where I could make them different according to a recto/verso format. Previously this function was situated in the section tab of the inspector. Does this function still exist ? If yes, where ?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Alizé. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You can still format headers and footers in Pages 5.0.  Here is the self help guide that walks you through this process.

  • Trying to split a table (so I can format across pages)

    Hi, I'm fairly new to a Mac and to using Pages 09 (I picked a great time to change systems when writing up something important!)
    How do I get a Table to split (as you can easily with MS Word) so that I can easily format my tables and text across multiple pages? At the moment I either have the title of a cell and then the text linked to it split across two pages - which looks silly - or I have to insert returns into the cell above it so the heading of a cell and it's contents both appear on the next page - but which then also makes the previous cell look silly with so much empty space.
    I can find all the options for splitting cells into more rows or columns but not an option to just split a table. Am I missing something or have Apple missed something?

    You missed nothing and Apple missed nothing too.
    The engineers are free to make the choices which they think beeing the best ones.
    It's really easy to achieve your goal.
    Activate the mode "Preview"
    The slider which is at the bottom of the window allow us to adjust the table width so that it fits in the page.
    In the Table inspector, we may adjust the rows height so that the wanted number of them appear in a single page without the holes generated by empty rows insertion.
    Oops, I wrote my response for Numbers, not Pages.
    but what I wrote may be done in Pages too.
    For the width, we have no slider but we may adjust it thru the Inspector of Measures.
    For the number of rows same scheme in Pages and Numbers.
    Jean-Marie … was inserted in the table to illustrate a script which may easily remove unwanted rows and, from my point of view, this one was unwanted
