Formatting a document in non-book layout

How can I go about formatting a document so that the pages are in (say) a 4x3 grid, or whatever, instead of a typical facing or non-facing book format?
Thanks!

Thanks for your input, everyone.
I am creating a set of 24x36 inch presentations sheets, which will be arranged on a wall 4 wide by 3 tall. Should have specified this in the first post. Creating a 144" x 72" sheet would work, but at print time, I'd have to then take the content from each of the 12 sections and move it to a 24x36 document for plotting, correct? That wouldn't be too much work, and in reality, having the individual sheets next to each other, with no pasteboard in between would be nice, as they'll be trimmed and positioned thusly when I plot...
Thanks very much.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can't format tables anymore in a CSS layout

Why can't I insert a regular table, and be able to select a
cell, row, column, whatever, and change the cell color like I did
before CSS? If I have a DIV, I'm supposed to be able to insert
regular html content inside it, right?
I have a DIV with a red background color set. I insert a
small table for some data, and the table punches a hole
(figuratively speaking) in the red background. Okay, I try to color
the table background cells red, and it doesn't matter. I then setup
a style sheet (class) just for that one table, and give it a red
background, and again, no go.
I'm about ready to abandan CSS for layout, I really am. There
are no declarations in my body tags or anywhere else that says what
to do with a table.
What do I have to do to be able to color cells and format a
table like non-css pages? I have many legacy sites with charts and
data in regular tables (I'm not talking about for layout, but for
regular tabular data), and when I try to copy and paste these into
a new page, the table and data comes, but all the coloring is gone.
This seems very dumb. Any insights?

Copy and paste the following into a new DW page - you will
see that you can
have coloured cells and or rows. At least that's what I
believe you are
trying to do.

[Solved]Ctrl+V not working in libreoffice on gnome(non-latin layout)

When using gnome-shell&libreoffice or calligra, universal keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+v or ctrl+z don't do anything while on a non-latin layout(hebrew in my case).
If I want to paste something with ctrl+v I have to change layout to English and only then will it work.
Under MATE the shortcuts work fine regardless of the layout in both applications(and all others i have tried).
Under GNOME Shell all other applications I tried accept the shortcuts regardless of the layout(Firefox, gedit, Empathy, Nautilus)
Anyone has an idea as to what might cause this behavior when using GNOME?
Thanks.
EDIT: Solved for libreoffice by removing the package "libreoffice-gnome". UI is not as pretty now but at least the keyboard shortcuts work.

After months of switching layouts and banging my head against this bug, I thought I should check LibreOffice settings (I'm using 4.1.5.3 now). What figures? I did find something. And in just a few clicks.
This is not a bug! It's simply a matter of configuration.
For the regular keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.) to remain operational in LibreOffice applications while using a non-latin keyboard layout (like Greek or Russian), go to Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages, check the Ignore system input language option, save, and Bob's your uncle.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
PS
Technically, though, shortcuts still remain language-dependent. This means if you enable this option, you will have to set your document languages manually.

Printing document as a "book" with two images per page

I am a new user and am struggling to take a 100 page text document with imbedded photos and print it like a "book." What I'd like to do is print using 2 images to a page (the same image) and duplexing, so that I essentially print two "books" that are duplexed (I will then cut the document in half) and then bind. I have not been able to figure out how to print 2 page 1's, then two page two's, etc., as a single print job. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Not sure if I fully understand what you are trying to achieve, but this may help.
When you are in the book layout page over to the left you will see thumb nail images of your book layout. Starting with the cover and then inside cover and pages etc etc. Below this to the left are a row of icons, choose the plus "+" then scroll down to the bottom where you get a choice of "Duplicate page." Hope that helps?

[BUG] Upgrade corrupts photo book layouts!

Here's something to add to the plethora of bugs in iLife'11. Whenever I open a photo book that was created with an earlier version, I briefly see the "Upgrading photo book…" message, and after that, all photos are default-zoom and centered at their spots in the book layout!
I have >20 books in my library and a lot of effort went into making their layout just perfect. The problem does not yet appear in iPhoto 8.1.2, I have been experimenting with several "upgrade paths" from iPhoto 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.0.1 now. It is clearly a problem in iPhoto 9.
When going directly from iPhoto 7 to 9, by the way, you lose all the key photo selections that you have done in your events (>200 for me…), as already reported here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12495859&#12495859
So if any of you are also keeping their photos in nicely layouted photo books, I strongly recommend waiting with the upgrade to iLife'11 until Apple fixes the upgrade process to NOT destroy any data.

Same problem here with all photo books!
iPhoto '11 does in fact display a warning after the update, something like "update successful, but please check before ordering". Well, I checked, and I found all books are corrupted (zoom and offset are wrong as described above).
This dialog however is a pathetic way of dealing with the (apparently known!) problem, Apple!
Even worse, I noticed that TimeMachine backup (inside iPhoto) does not list photo books, so the only way back (after wiping iPhoto 11 from the hard drive and re-installing the previous version) seems to be to replace the whole iPhoto Library manually (I sincerely hope that the photo books are stored in there and not anywhere else - does anyone know for sure?)
There also is no way to export a photo book (apart from non-editable PDF) and to re-import it on another MacOS installation (with an earlier version of iPhoto), is there? So until I find a solution and the time to try it out, I need to keep my pre-update backup of the whole iPhoto Library. And I must not make any significant changes to the new library, because there very probably is no way of merging those changes into the old one.

Setting margins using format and document

I am using Appleworks 6.2.9 with OS 10.6.8. I tried to change the margins on a document by going to format then document on the drop down menu as I have down a million times before. This time when I tried to enter .75 for the top and bottom margins, a message popped up which said it was in invalid #. I also tried .5, 1, .33. None of these worked. They have all worked in the past.
What form does the # need to be in to be able to change the margin width at the top, bottom, and sides? Nothing I entered worked.
Thanks!

There are a lot of things that don't work in Snow Leopard as they used to in earlier versions of OS X. The only thing to do to get all of the functionality of AppleWorks is to use an earlier version of OS X, perhaps Tiger, 10.4.11.

Change book layout master

i have searched and seen this question asked, but not answered. i want to change the book layout so that it starts up with the metadata format that i want rather than having to change each page. there must be a way to do this permanently rather than changing the masters when i start a new book.

Without doing a lot of experimenting with this, I presume a workable solution is to create a dummy book that has your custom settings. Then duplicate that book whenever you want to start a new book project.
Otherwise it probably requires using BBEdit to amend the book layouts in the Aperture Package folder and I wouldn't know where to begin with that (well, I have changed fonts that way).

Displaying a document in Excel planning layout

Hi,
I have attached a document in ALV Planning layout. Then I changed the format of the layout to Excel. In ALV I could see the cell as highlighted when a document is attached to it but in excel I can´t see the highlighted cell or icon to mention that this cell is having some document attached with it.
Can anyone tell what setting are required to display the icon or highlight the cell in the excel when a document is attached to it.
thanks

Hi Ravi,
Thank for answer me. But , yes.. I have set "display document". I can see the icon for Open Document, Delete Document and Create a Document in the header. But I still not see the icon over the cell where I can distinguist if exist or not document attatch.

Share Formats and Variables Across A Book?

I'm sure this has been discussed before but search didn't turn up anything. Is there a way to share paragraph and character formats, variables, etc across a book? It's really cumbersome to have to reimport them across all the documents whenever I change something, and that often leads to confusion.
Thanks!

I wish Adobe would just add a "master document" format or something where you could make all changes and not have to manually re-import.
Ok, now imagine the case where you want Variable "FileVersion" to have the same name but different values in each component file .
Using variables does indeed not auto-update across a book, but sometimes you don't want it to. Cross-references do auto-update across a book.
Anyhow, with the standard scripting now available in FM10, I suspect your "one-button" wish may already be granted.
It may easily be possible to add a "propagate variables" operation to a script for the overall work flow.
hmmm. I could use a script that propagate variables, sets condition codes, applies master pages, updates the book, sets color view, selects PDF options and renders to PDF ...

Switching back to Book Layout Editor

As I'm arranging my pictures in my first Aperture book, there are a couple of photos that need a few simple adjustments. For the most part, this means lightening some of the darker, shadows, areas. I'm editing my book in "Split View" mode of course, within the Book Layout Editor mode. If I double-click on a picture thumbnail at the bottom and switch from the Library to Adjustments tab on the left-hand side I can make my simple changes. When I'm done, how do I "escape" the adjustments window? If I click back to the "Library" tab my book is already highlighted. If I double-click the book under the lists of projects in the Library tab, it edits the name of the book but I don't return to the Book Layout Editor mode. My single picture I just made an adjustment on remains on the screen. If I click the "Split View" icon in the toolbar, I get back to the split view of all my pictures in the book but there's still no Book Editor Mode... What am I missing? I can get back to the book by selecting another project (or book) and the re-selecting the book I was just working on from my list of "Projects & Albums", but this seems really klunky. Depending on which project I choose, this takes a moment as well. How do I return to my book after making an adjustment on a picture?
-Doug

Thanks for that. I thought I had clicked on every icon possible already. To get that icon back, though, I still have to switch from "single" image back to "split view" first. Is there a keyboard command for that besides cycling through the views?

Help please with Page Numbers & Facing Pages in Book Layout

I am having some dramas with my book project which is 168 pages including cover. I have created 22 different documents for the chapters and other pages. I had everything in a book and have been able to create a PDF, but then I needed to remove the cover so it can be printed separately and to change the page numbering to start at 1 after the contents page.
When I added numbers after the Contents page, it pushed all the pages out of order - ie what was previously sitting on the left was now sitting on the right etc.
Removing the cover also impacted on individual spreads.
Since then I have:
- Updated my program to resolve an issue where Indesign kept shutting down when I tried to change page numbers.
- Recreated the book twice, but find the spreads are all out of whack as I add them - doesn't appear to be auto paginating.
- Called Adobe and got given tutorials that have not helped me resolve the issue because I have followed the tutorials but it hasn't resolved the issues I am having.
Is there a way that you can stop autopagination and tell the pages which side they need to be on? I currently have one chapter finishing on an even number of pages and the next starting on an odd, even though there are an even number of pages in that chapter, which is bizarre? How do I fix this please?
I would sincerely appreciate anyone who can tell me how to fix this. I have read and watched so many tutorials showing how to set it up but there doesn't appear to be any that help with trouble shooting when you have followed the process but something bizarre happens.
Is there a way that you can dictate the sides that the pages should be on? Can you turn off the auto pagination anywhere? This is an urgent request.
Thanks,
Hayley
PS I started in CS6 and am now using CC.

A few things to consider:
Not all books are the same, but many begin on page one, which is a right page, and as it follows, all odd pages will be on the right with even pages on the left. If your book had the cover as part of the book, I wonder if that meant that your first page was on the left?
Books leaves hold two pages (front and back), and therefore book page counts need to be divisible by two. You say your book is 168 pages including the cover, which you moved to another document, leaving 167 book pages. If you were counting the back page, that might make for a 166 page book, which would be OK, but depending on how it will be printed, the page count may need to be divisible by 4, 8, 16, or higher, and the printer may need to add blank pages to get to the correct page count. Can you tell us how your book will be produced?
Many people like to keep their chapters in even-numbered page count, so that new chapters may start on the right. This sometimes requires you to have a blank left-sided page at the end of some chapters. This blank page is sometimes labeled "This page intentionally left blank" or some such wording (so as to let the reader know there wasn't a misprint), but isn't strictly necessary. Sometimes an ornament in the center of the page will do the same job.
Do you think these are things you would like to have in your book, or are you opposed to them for any reason? The answers may narrow the advise you get from the forum users.

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).

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

What is the shortcut key to select all documents in the book panel?

What is the shortcut/hotkey to select all documents in the book panel?

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.
