Formatting a column in Pages

I am building a table of data with 5 columns. When adding the lines of text within a column, when I get to the bottom of the page instead of continuing to the next page the text isn't visible. Please can someone help. Apple support said they couldn't help and it was up to the customer to find this information out. Not great customer service Apple...
Thanks in advance!

lableFunction can be used when the tweaking required is very
trivial and you want to modify some text getting displayed.
(custom) itemRenderers can be used when we want to display
something complex within a cell like few controls, icons, labels,
links etc.

Is it possible to change an existing PDF from brochure format (2 columns) to single page?

I have an old PDF, but not the source document. It is in two-column format, that is, two pages of text on one PDF page. I've tried converting to Word in Acrobat Pro XI, but that still preserves the two-column format. It's too big and complex to reformat in Word. I'd like to simply have each of the columns on their own page.

You can copy the page and crop the left and the rigth column.

How do I number columns in Pages '08?

Hey all,
I was hoping you guys can help me with a very simple question I have. I was wondering how would I go about numbering an entire column in Pages? For instance, let's say I have a document which contains 2 columns and 10 rows. In this document i would like to have the left column to be numbered. So basically, the rows in the left column are numbered sequentially 1 through 10.
The way I would do this in MS Word was to highlight an entire column, then goto the formatting palette, choose "bullets & numbering" and click on the "numbering" button... Word would then automatically number every row in the selected column 1 to whatever.
Is there a way to do this in Pages '08? I've tried highlighting a column with the inspector, going over to "list" and choosing "numbers" and I'm having zero luck. What it does do, is put a number "1" in the first row of the left column which promptly disappears when I click out of the row. Help?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It sounds like you are using a table. If so, doing the numbers should be easy. Although this picture is from Numbers, filling a series of numbers works the same in a Pages table. Type 1 in the first cell & 2 in the cell below it. Now select both cells, click the tiny circle at the lower right of the second cell & drag down to fill with consecutive numbers. This also works with other number patterns, dates, alphabet, etc.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.
I have all scanned pages, but the kindle format offered on the Indesign options is bigger. What should I do? Do I start a book from scratch with the scanned pictures or do I leave the pages with the white space on them with the kindle option of Indesign.

Hi barbaraegarza,
For your situation, you could try using alternatives like PDF4Kindle, Calibre, or Papercrop. But based on what I've read and my quick experiment, depending on the complexity of your PDF, it may be more effort than it's worth to try to convert a PDF into a legible Kindle, ePub, or any other e-reader file.
I did a quick test on Calibre with a 16-page PDF that contained multiple columns and images. The results were illegible! It ran the lines from each column together, making the text difficult to comprehend. Calibre explains why PDFs are difficult to convert -- Ebook Conversion — calibre User Manual. I have not tried the other two applications that I suggested above, but I would assume that the results would be very similar.
I don't know what kind of results you got when you converted it in InDesign, but if your first test turned out fine and it was just the size of the file that you are concerned about, you could use Acrobat to reduce your PDF's file size and convert it to the Kindle format in InDesign again.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Create equal columns in Pages

Hello all,
Well once again I find myself turning to the greatest forum on the internet. HELP.....
I am trying to create columns in Pages, but when I do, they are not equal (refer to image). Whatever I do just does not work, how do I get them to be the same?
Thanks in advance.
Daniel

************ UPDATE *************
I found out that when the uneven column on the right was created, all I had to do was create a dummy bullet line above and then delete it. This allowed the formating of a new line to remain in place and therefore create even columns. It seems a bit silly that an additional step like this is required, maybe I did something wrong setting it up, if anyone has a solution to my original problem, please let me know.
Cheers

Hi Daniel,
Page 50 of the Number'09 User Guide explains how to define columns. Download the Guide from the Help Menu in Pages. Inspector > Layout Tab > Layout Button shows details of the columns.
To see the column margins, View > Show Layout:
The blue upside-down triangles on the ruler show left and right margins for Column 1 (the active column where the cursor is). If you thought they were the left margins of both columns, I can see why the columns appeared unequal.
When setting columns, the default is that they are equal. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ian.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

How do I format a document in Pages 5.2 so that each sentence automatically starts with capital letter?

How do I format a document in Pages 5.2 so that each sentence automatically starts with capital letter?

If you installed the Devon Technologies (Freeware) WordService Service package, there is an item that will enable you to fix selected content to show initial capitals in sentences. You may need to enable this feature in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services selections. This only works in Pages v5.2 (and maybe later releases).

Pages is not saving document correctly. After saving the changes either do not appear or you can not open the file. The error is "not a valid format" I am in Pages '09 4.1 (923). I also use Parallels. Anyone having similar issues?

I'm not sure that Lion AutoSave feature apply to network servers.
I'm just sure that the Versions feature doesn't.

Text to flow 1st column 1st page TO 1st column 2nd page - IS IT POSSIBLE?

Pages 2.0.1v2 en Mac OS X 10.4.7.
I would like to have a 2-column document, where the text flows independently within each column across the pages of the document. That is, when the text of the left column, first page, reaches the end of the first column, first page, I would like the text to flow to the beginning of the left column, page 2. Instead, Pages flows the text to the right column, page 1.
Is that possible.
Thanks.

I'm not a hundred percent sure that I understand you, but I'll take a stab at it. I think what you're asking for is text overflow from column 1 on page 1 to column 1 on page 2. And then the overflow from column 2 on page 1 to column 2 on page 2. Is that correct? If so, insert two independent text boxes on page 1 (make sure you use the Wrap Inspector to define them as Fixed on Page), and from them create linking text boxes on page two. I tested it and it seems to overflow nicely.
That's the good news. The bad news is that you'll have to do this manually for 400 pages, since there doesn't seem to be an automatic way to accomplish this. I even tried copying and pasting a linked box, and the resulting pasted box would unlink each time. So unless there's something I'm missing, it would seem that the process (tedious in your case) is to place two text boxes on page 1, then manually click on the blue "ears" to create the linked boxes for the next page. But I can't imagine you'd want to do this 400 times.

Carry over formatting to the next page without adding a text box

I've written 15 books on the old pages and had no trouble carrying the formatting to the next page without adding a page or adding a text box to the added page. I just kept on typing. I've added the new pages and had trouble right from the start so I went back to the old and got a good start, but going through that added procedure on every new page gets old in a hurry.
It shows the number of pages at the bottom, but a new page doesn't come on automatically when I type.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ron - [email protected]

1. Why not continue to use Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder?
2. In Pages 5:
Setup (gear icon far right of toolbar) > check Document Body
and the text will flow from page to page.

How do I format a table in Pages so that I don't have to keep reformatting every time I go to a new cell?

how do I format a table in Pages so that I don't have to keep reformatting every time I go to a new cell?

Hello Fruhulda
Clicking a Pages table don't give the same result than clicking somewhere in the table then pressing cmd + a.
The first scheme selects the table (height square handles displayed)
The second one select every cells (no handle displayed).
If we try to fill cells with a color in case 1, only standard cells are filled.
If we try to do the same in case 2, every cells (headers included) will receive the color.

How to edit the "Oracle Three Column Layout" page template?

Hello all,
My question is very simple: how can one edit the Oracle Three Column Layout page template? I tried searching the file system for a file called "threeColumnTemplate.jspx" but I cannot seem to find it. Is it hidden into a jar file of some kind? Or at least can anyone tell me the name of the nice component located in the upper right corner that displays the loading activity?
Thanks.

Extract oracle-page-templates.jar with winzip & browse to location oracle/templates
open the file threeColumnTemplate.jspx using jdeveloper.
after you open it , you can edit the logo , save the changes & create this jar again or save it to the zip which will automatically update the jar.

Conditionally Formatting One Column Based On The Value of Another Column

I have the following requirement:
I have 2 columns in a report showing Actual Sales & Budget Sales each year. I am using a bar chart to show the different values for these 2 columns.
I need to conditionally format the column "Actual Sales" so that if it is less than the "Budget Sales" it will appear in red, and green if "Actual Sales" is greater than "Budget Sales." So in a nutshell,
CASE WHEN "Actual Sales" < "Budget Sales" THEN
RED
ELSE
GREEN
END
Thoughts anyone?

CASE WHEN (COL1 - COL2) < 0 then Red else Green end
regards
John
