How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How can I make a check box active ONLY if another check box is activated?

How can I make a check box active ONLY if another check box is activated?
I have an editable PDF for a client, which contains text fields and check box fields.
There are three main check boxes (let's call them A, B and C) that the user is required to choose from, and I have given all three the same name in the Name tab of the General tab menu but different export values in order that ONLY one of the boxes can be checked at any time. Ticking one will deactivate another if it is already checked, etc.
However, I then have a further two check boxes which I wish to become available ONLY if the second one of the above three boxes is checked. Other than that I do not wish the user to have access to them.
I'm guessing it requires some kind of Action Script or Javascript, which is not my forté! Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Tony

How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please? Please don't tell me there is no labels facility!!

If you have your addresses set up in Address Book, the logical place for them, that is also the logical place to print them from.
Pages will only use one data set per page, although there are ways around this. But then that wasn't your question.

How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made?

The only way I know of is to take a screenshot of the Photo mode with the View ➙ Show Event Titles selected. That will give you a list of sorts. Might take more than one screenshot per library.

How can i make voiceover read paragraphs than reading the entire page

how can i make voiceover read paragraphs than reading the entire page of an ebook

If you are using rectangle as layer or accordion menu then you can use 100% width for these page items.
In control strip options , when you select the rectangle you can view 100% width button which would make it browser width.

How can I make the annotation box show in the printed word version on the pages app?

I want to insert annotation box on the side of the text. But I found that i cannot do that, and the annotation box disappear on the printed version of my document. How can I make that appear on my printed verison? Thank you!

You are referring to Comments and Apple has removed the old method from Pages 5.
If it is important to you go back to using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

How can i make a connection between an application and a database over net

dear sir
how can i make connection between an appliction and a database over internet while the client side appliction is behind proxy and firewall
for example how the live update of norton antivirus makes connection to the data server to make comparetions and get new virus definitions
does that depend on sockets technology ?
what references can guide me to the solution please?

The ability to do so depends entirely on the JDBC driver implementation having some proxy method. It needs to recognize the HTTP or SOCKS proxy and use them to connect, and the firewall and proxy need to allow those specific port connections.
To the best of my knowledge, all of these update utilities, e.g. live update for Netscape, Norton, etc., do not connect directly to the database. As it is, no sane security person would allow a database to be exposed to the Net. Rather, they connect using HTTP or HTTPS, which normally traverses firewalls just fine, to connect to a Web or application server on the far end. That application server then parses the request and retrieves whatever it needs to from the database.
In other words, you cannot have a 2-tier client/server application. You need a 3-tier application:
your client -> Web/app server -> database
where the connection from your client to the Web/app server is over http or https through the firewall and proxies.
Hope this helps.

How can I make a color box indicator transparent?

All, I would like to make a color box, which is part of a cluster in an array, transparent programmatically. Instead of appearing transparent, it shows up with a LARGE "T" inside the color box, with a white background. Because it is part of a cluster within an array, it will not work to use a property node... and because I would like to programmatically change the color, having it permanenty transparent (as proposed on another discussion topic) will also not work. Can someone please help me turn a color box transparent programmatically?
Thanks.
Anthony

The problem is that arrays of clusters cannot be passed into property nodes as falkpl has previously said. The attached jpeg shows how you would programmatically break the arrays into cluster, into elements, and then manipulate that color box to a transparent one. The T within the white color box indicates transparent though. If you were to attached that to a color attribute then you would see that object disappear (well I guess not since it's transparent )

How can I make a dropdown box populate with values from other fields?

I am trying to create a NCAA bracket where they select teams from a dropdown menu. For example, they choose which teams win in game 1 and 2 through a dropdown box. The winner of games 1 and 2 then play each other, so how can I populate the dropbox with their selections for game 1 and 2?
Game 1 winner --
(game 9) |--- Game 9 winner
Game 2 winner --
Game 9 winner needs to populate with their selections from game 1 winner and game 2 winner.

I would look at using the setItems Acrobat JavaScript method.
Have you considered using a Mouse Up action for "Game 1" and "Game 2" to fill "Game 9"
