How can I customize a Pages template to include a photo frame and text area?

I am putting together a reference notebook for volunteers at our local zoo.
I am attempting to format every info sheet the same. Each page will include a photo of the featured creature along with text including description, feeding habits, range etc.
The only program I have to publish with is Pages. I've tried to put in a "photo box" so that each photo is the same size and in the same location on the page etc. I just can't seem to find all the tools I need to do this.
I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks so much.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a photo, any photo. Now select the photo & resize it using the metrics inspector. Now, with photo selected, go to Format > Advanced & select Define as Media Placeholder. Then again go to Format > Advanced & select define as default image style. While you're at it set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. You can do similar settings with text boxes, tables, shapes, etc.
I suggest downloading the Pages User Guide from the Help menu & reading more about placeholders & about capturing pages (sorry, it's not something I can remember doing).

  • How can I customize the msi file to include a licence agreement

    How can I customize the msi file to include a licence agreement and some splash screens. If i need a third party application could somebody recommend one. I have installshield development studio 9 and it crashes every time I try to add a license.

    We don't use the installation maker built into the application builder, instead we use a third party tool that is free and gives additional options; like including a license and to split the installation set to fit on floppies. It's called Inno Setup and can be found on: http://www.jrsoftware.org/. It is script-based but also has a nice wizard.
    Inno Setup does not give you much room for splash screens though. There are a number of shareware alternatives (not all free as Inno as far as I've seen) that does, if you do a search for installer makers on download.com you'll get a list of them.

  • How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

    How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

    > How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
    The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
    If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
    If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
    Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably  expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

  • How can I customize Tile Page (what's this page) to cycle on a folder?

    I love how the Tile Page ("what's this page") feature looks. But I rarely use it because it auto-populates with URLs (most visited or recent) I already have sorted in my bookmarks under folders and in the Bookmark Toolbar. I don't need a screen shot of the gmail login screen.
    What I really need, and what this feature would be brilliant for, is to cycle through the heaps and mounds of random URLs I have in my Unsorted Bookmarks folder. I just timed it and it takes me 18 seconds to scroll from top to bottom.
    I would like to have this folder of Unsorted Bookmarks populate the Tile Page, [1][2] so I can sort through them visually.
    [1]: Even better would be a text field on this page where I could enter keywords!
    [2]: Even better still, to have this page split between web page screen shots and pills of my favorite and most recent keywords which I can click on to filter this auto population.)

    Probably better trying posting to

  • New owner here.  How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages.  What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only.   Thanks much.

    New owner here.  I see that in printing I can select one page and print same.  How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time.  Thanks much

    Just change the range as illustrated below.  If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

  • How can I customize a project template?

    Sorry this seems like a basic procedure but I did not find it
    in the RH help or in the forum.
    In the RH program folder > RoboHTML > Temlates >
    Custom there are two sets of files that evidently resemble the
    project templates but I connot open these in RH to customize the
    settings.

    Hello all, I have found a way to havea custom project and
    reuse it without having to do all the importing, however, I will
    tell you upfront there is a flaw i haven't yet figured out how to
    overcome.
    So this is what I've done.
    1. Created a project (Default_Project).
    2. Added topic templates, skins, css, basic images, snippets,
    variables, etc.
    3. Placed it in it's own folder called RH Master Tempaltes.
    4. All authors go to that folder via windows explorer.
    5. Copy that whole folder to local laptop.
    6. Right click, rename folder to NewProjectName.
    7. Open folder, click File --> Rename Project then enter
    the new name: NewProjectName.
    8. Enter the name of the project. RH7 then renames all files.
    Works like a charm and I don't have to worry that someone
    forgot to import something.
    The flaw? We are using Flashhelp. I noticed after the
    flashhelp is published the following files ARE NOT being changed,
    they maintain the Default_Template name:
    Default Template.log
    Default_Template.glo
    Default_Template.hhc
    Default_Template.hhk
    Default_Template.htm
    Default_Template.ppf
    Default_Template_csh_.htm
    Default_Template_hha_hhk
    I cannot find where the project is pulling the old name from.
    I have tried deleting the .cpd and .mpj files. Doesn't fix the
    problem. I have tried clearing out the flashhelp folder, deleting
    the .cpd and .mpj file. Still no joy.
    I can resolve this issue for a WebHelp output by changing the
    .hhp file in notepad (I know, not recommended, but if you've been
    using RH as long as I have, sometimes that is the only way you used
    to be able to fix things).
    However, this is good only if you want to export to WebHelp.
    Which, we don't. We want to use Flashhelp and try out FlashHelp
    Pro. So if anyone has any other ideas as to what to look at to see
    why all the names in the flashhelp output revert to the original
    name, I'm all ears. Until then, I'll keep playing with stuff until
    I figure it out.

  • How can i customize maverick dock in the bottom to be transparent and 2D

    macbookpro, late 2011 with os x mavericks:
    i tried to get the dock in the bottom transparent and in 2D, which in ML worked fine with the small program MIRAGE. this program does not appear to work in mavericks and can also not be updated from version 1.0.1. dock left or right side are no options for me. i also tried the terminal command somebody posted, makes no difference. has anyone a solution?

    It appears that this feature was removed, the Dock you are refering to was called the 'no-glass' Dock. It was used for the left & right Dock attachments styles, but the 'defaults write' would set it to work on the bottom too.
    I'd suggest you notify Apple in the hopes they add it (or similar) back to the possible options, I prefer it too & will miss it.

    (The command was: defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES)

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

  • How can i customize portal's Approval Detail Page?

    Hi there,
    I wonder how can i customize the portal Approval Detail Page? I got to know tat the package script is wrapped and cannot be unwrapped. So I am thinking to add smth like a link in the page for the mailto function. I was asked to send an email notification to the top management whenever there's smth new added approved.
    where can i locate the page? or... where's the script to generate the page? Can someone suggest me?
    thank you for your patient wit my question..

    In SP3 you can get a DesktopBackingContext, from which you can get the desktop's definitionLabel or title. Perhaps that will work for you?
