HOW can I reduce space at top/bottom of inline or floating objects in text?

To fit space horizontally (left and right) works fine, but vertically (top and bottom of object) does not do much to match (text is 10-on-11pt, object abt. 2 x 1 ins).

An AppleWorks trick that may work in Pages as well:
Start by setting the original object to NOT cause text to wrap around it.
Create a second floating object the same width as the object you want text to appear to wrap. Make the second object the same width as the original (or very slightly narrower), and somewhat shorter vertically than the original. Place the new object on top of the original with their centers aligned both vertically and horizontally. Adjust the object's size until the text wraps around the underlying original with the clearance you want. When the adjustment is completed, Go Arrange > Send Back and repeat until the new object is behind the original.
Optional alternate last step: Use the Inspector to set the new objects Opacity to zero percent.

Barry

    How can I reduce space on the startup disc to enable the download of Mavericks?  I have enough overall disc space but the update won't download and tells me to reduce "startup" disc space.

    How much free space do you have?
    This warning usually indicates, that your free disk space is critically low.
    Empty you Trash, delete files that you do not need at all, and move large media files, like iPhoto libraries or videos to an external drive.

  • How can I eliminate the pointless top bar, close up the spaces between bars that are wasting space and reduce the depth of the tabs so that I have the space I had before for the websites I am looking at?

    I have updated to the latest form of Mozilla Firefox, and the top of the screen is altered so that it occupies far more space than it used to do, leaving far less space for what I want to look at. Why are there spaces between bars? Why are the tabs deeper than they used to be or need to be? How can I eliminate the pointless top bar which merely duplicates the information in the tab bar? Is there any way of simply restoring the previous arrangement?

    Okay, I accept that this is just how it is, and there is nothing to be done about it, because no-one except me thinks that the icons and toolbars should be organised to take up minimum space in order to allocate maximum space to the page.
    The crowning irony of all this is that, having updated to the latest Mozilla Firefox and consequently having this arrangement at the top of the page which I don't like, the middle of the page now comes up with its old message, 'You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade now.'
    Computers are very odd. :(

  • How can I reduce the size of "Others" in iTunes' information bar for iPhone usage at the bottom of the "General"-screen?

    When I open iTunes and attach my iPhone to the PC, click on "iPhone" and then on "Overall-view" (the leftmost Item at the top bar, "Übersicht" in German), I see on the bar at the bottom of the screen from left to right: "Audio - Fotos - Apps - Documents/Data - Others - Free". Now my question: What does "Others" include and how can I reduce "Others"? At my iPhone it takes 2.5 GB. I have cleared all my e-mails, how can I reduce it further in order to get more free space? Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi Hans,
    “Other” space has several sources. Some ways of removing unneeded files from it can be found in this article -
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
    Specifically -
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally.  With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner  hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

    How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY?  With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.  

    You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
    PSE has a specific feature just for that function.  I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How can I reduce the size of some apps like Facebook, Twitter,whatsup..etc..as they eat a lot of space on my iPhone 4s ?

    How can I reduce the size of some of the key apps likeTwitt Facebook, whatsup etc..I have a iphone 4s 7 GB?

    Its frustrating. I also have this problem with Dropbox, a great service but they dont have a 'delete cache' button. Dropbox told me to log out and back in again but nothing. If i delete the Dropbox app (And Facebook app and Twitter) and then re-install its back to its original size
    If you go into settings/general/usage and see all the apps, press the app for Twitter (Or Facebook) and you'll see how much extra the app is keeping under 'Documents & Data'
    Delete those apps and re-install and the documents and data will be 0 and the app back to normal.
    Its frustrating as some of these apps can get huge, after viewing a video my facebook app went up to 450 meg ! Same for twitter. I tend to use 'Twiterrific' as the app size doesnt get silly unlike the official Twitter app

  • "Other" storage 261GB, how can I reduce this?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2008 2.4GHz with 4GB memory and a 500GB hard drive, running Mountain lion 10.8.
    When I entered the "Storage" section in "About This Mac", I found out that 261GB are in some yellow bar called "Other", and another 85GB are in the "Backups" category. This is srtrange because I don't have any backups on my computer, and I've never backed up my computer using time machine or any other software.
    44GB are movies, apps, photos, etc...
    I ran the OmniDiskSweeper and it only found 137GB in my hard drive. That means it didn't find 255GB of storage.
    How can I reduce this "Other" storage? and where can I find those backups?
    Thank you,
    YanivWolf.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to

    At the moment i can only fit about 1300 songs on my iphone and also have used up half the space on my 120gb Classic with 7000 songs which is a lot less than what i was told would fit on. so............
    How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to fit more songs onto my iPhone or iPod Classic.. and what is the minimum rate that i should stick to in order to retain good sound quality.

    For existing tracks, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    For CDs you import in the future, change the Import settings in the iTunes -> General preferences.
    As to what will be a good bit rate, that's going to be up to you and what quality you find acceptable, but many people find that 128 kbps AAC is the optimum balance between small file size and quality.

  • How can i reduce the size of Images  in MIDlet

    Hi all,
    How can i reduce the size of Images in Form,bcoz they are covering lots of spaces in form due to that other items are not displaying in specific order.

    Better you can use Canvas class and using drawImage() function you can show the image. Before that you have to Get the maximum size of your phone screen using the following:
    x = (width/2) - (image.getWidth()/2);
    y = (height/2) - (image.getHeight()/2);

  • How can I reduce the size of "Other" usage?

    I  unable to update my IOS because "Other" memory usage is too high and I have insufficient memory available for the upgrade. What does other include and how can I reduce its size?

    You can update using iTunes on your computer, which will bypass the space requirement that is imposed on over the air downloads.
    To reduce the size of other, back up the phone, restore it using iTunes, then restore your backup. That should get it down to a reasonable size.

  • How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

    I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
    I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
    I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
    How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

    patrick
    in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.

  • How can we reduce compares Database size in express edition

    Hi,
    for client we use SQL server express edition. express edition has limitation of 10GB of database size.
    please help me how can we reduce/compares DB size.
    Regards,
    Manish

    Data or page compression feature is not available in express edition so you cannot use this feature to help you.
    You might be lucky to reclaim space from shrink operation but eventually data file will grow again. So your best bet is using licensed version.
