How do I break a large table over several pages?

I'm sure I used to be able to show a large table (more than one page long) over several pages. Now, when when the table grows to the bottom of the page the whole table is displayed on a new page. How do I get it to break so it shows partly on one page and partly on the next page?

Not sure how to add a comment to my own question...
I am working in Pages 5. I tried to break a table over more than one page in an existing document and just couldn't get it to work (still can't). I tried it in a new document and it worked, no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I had to export my original document to Word and then had to open it again in Pages. There must have been some corruption.
I'm happy again... only wish that I could live within the Mac world and not have to deal with the PC world. Sigh.

I have no data link in this table, it should only be filled.
Thanks.

Sorry but I do not understand what you are asking ...can you elaborate ...or provide some examples of what you are looking for?

How do I split a large image over multiple pages?

I need to produce and A1 sized retail poster, but do not have access to an A1 large-format printer.
I currently have an Epson Stylus R1800 A3+ printer, once I have created the A1 image in PS CS3, is there an effective way to split my image into four-separate A3 pages for printing?
Any help greatly appreciated :)

You could do it in a Page Layout program like InDesign or Quark or an illustration program like Illustrator (I believe) or Freehand.
But look at all your Printer options first. Many printers have a Poster or Tile option that will do this.

How do I run a table over multiple pages?

Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
many thanks

At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

How to generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??

How can I generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??
e.g. Page1 1-35
Page2 36-...

Hi Labrat,
My suggestion would be to create a Template in the Page Layout mode. This template would have a 1-column Table to present the line numbers and a Text Box for the Body Text. If you want the Line Numbers to stay in alignment with the Body Text, set the spacing for both to Exactly. Set the Table Cell Borders to None. The faint cell borders that you see in the following example are there because I am in View Layout mode. They will not show when printed.
For my example I have used Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to create a Pull-down +Page option for a Numbered Line Page. You can Capture as many versions of your numbered pages as you like to avoid having to modify the Line Numbers on successive pages.
Here's my example:

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

How do I output a large pdf into single pages for press?

It is certainly a good point that, if they need the files separately, and don't even know how to use Acrobat to split it themselves, it might lead one to question their expertise in the PDF field.

How can I create 2 columns that go over several pages? f.e. Contract with 2 languages.

I need to create 2 columns over several pages.
Target is a bilingual german/english contract.
All paragraphs side by side. Left side german right side english.
My problem is that if I use standard columns the text flows on the next column of the same page instead of same clumn on next page.
Example:
I do not like
EN     EN
EN     EN
EN     EN
EN     EN
I need.
EN     GER
EN     GER
EN

Can anyone help. Do I have to back to MicrosoftWord.
Please not. Thank you.

HI,
You could use two sets of linked text boxes, as I've done here.
The text layer of this document contains only a series of Page Breaks, necessary to create the pages on which the Text boxes are placed. The illustration shows parts of pages 1 and 2.
Create the series of text boxes that make up the left column, then Select All and Duplicate to create the second set.
I found alignment a bit of a hassle, and that alone might be enough to convince you to use MS Word (or the word processing module of one of the free Office applications) for this task.
You might also use the Provide Pages Feedback menu item in the Pages menu* to make a feature request to Apple.

Barry

Can I build a test over several pages, and give instant pass/fail feedback.

I want to build a test over several pages. I would like to have buttons where you click on the answer, and at the end of the test show pass/fail and answers to failed questions. I also want to show the percentage to the test answers, such as 76% out of 100%. I would like to adjust the percentages depending on the amount of answers per questions. Let's say there are 7 questions for the test, a passing score would be 71%, if there are 5 questions, a passing score would be 80% and so forth.
I am sure there are many questions regarding this, feel free to ask any and I will answer as much as possible.
I have Keynote 09, Numbers 09 and Pages 09, I would prefer to work with Keynote and hopefully use the other two as needed.

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

Printing using Mail - Vertical printing over several pages error

Hi All.
Wonder if anyone can help here?
When I want to print any email from Mail, for some odd reason the email gets spread out over several pages or more depending on the size of the email. The text is printed in one vertical line consisting of one letter per line, like this:

Hi Steve,
I have the same problem with the text in Mail printing very narrow like what you described. Did you ever get a resolution to the problem?
It seems like it was never answered in the forum replies.
Hope you can help out if possible.

How do I split a table over two pages in Pages?

Hi
I'm trying to split a table in Pages so that the text in the two adjacent rows will fall on two separate pages but I cannot find a way to do this. This was something that is easy to do if using MS Word so I can't believe it would be a feature missing from Pages?
The document I'm working with is my resume and I had my jobs nicely formatted in a long table so it was easy to work with (job title, dates, achievements etc. in different cells). Since updating to Yosemite and Pages 5.5 I've noticed that I now have my career summary and 'Professional Experience' title on the first page but the table with all my job information is now starting on the second page - leaving just a lot of blank space on the first page. One of the jobs on the second page now also splits across pages 2 and 3. I can see that it is trying to keep everything in the table together and that what I need to do is just split the table at a certain point so that I can put the first part of the table back onto page 1 and the second part of it on page 2 - but it won't give me any option to do this.
Any ideas?

Although this thread is several months old, I felt compelled to reply as I have just encountered this gaping hole in Pages functionality. Jerrold Green 1 is incorrect in asserting that the OP's problem is that Pages won't split a cell across pages. The OP clearly indicates that Pages is not moving rows that won't fit on the first page of the table, but rather it moves the whole table to the next page.
So for example, if I have a paragraph of text at the top of page 1, and then insert a table under this paragraph that contains more rows than will fit on the remainder of the page, rather than the rows that won't fit being moved to page 2, Pages moves the entire table to page 2 leaving a big blank space on page 1. But bizarrely if the table contains more rows than will fit on one whole page, then it will move the overflow rows onto the third page, making you wonder why it didn't just do this on page 1.
This is with the table arrangement set to Move with Text. If I set it to Stay on Page, the end of the table just flows over the footer and off the page into oblivion. If I set Text Wrap to None, it just plonks the table right on top of the other text. So it gives you the option to do something silly, but not the most sensible option.
If I am missing something, then can someone please correct me. Without this basic functionality Pages cannot be considered a professional Word Processor. I'll unfortunately have to go back to MS Word.

How to print large image across several pages?

After using Appleworks for years I finally got Pages 09. In AW I used to be able to use drawing app to print large (36 x 36) images over several pieces of paper, simply by adding pages to the document. I would then tape the pages together to form the large poster. I can't see anyway to do this in Pages. It won't let you print any larger than 11x17, nor let you add pages to a layout to print a large image. Anybody know how to do this, or did I just waste my money?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Yvan Koenig discovered with iWork '08 that you can span images across pages in a Numbers document as a substitute. Select & delete any tables & then treat the Numbers document as a draw document. You shouldn't need to add pages like in AppleWorks as Numbers adds them as needed to display all of the content.

How do I make a one row table across several pages?

Hi,
I would like to create a one row two columns table, but to have this table with text flow on several pages.
But I don't know how to do this. If I enter many lines of text, the table will not go on next page, and the extra lines are lost somewhere in the void.
I can do this in NeoOffice though, and in MS Office too.
Thanks

Hello Julien,
yes, I believe I can help your brother with a solution. First set your document to a two column layout in the layout inspector in the "Layout" tab panel. It's good to see the layout guides and hidden signs for better layout creation, so make them visible (menus: "View/Show Layout" and "View/Show Invisibles". To have an appropriate distance between the the rows of text, set the number field "After" at the bottom of the same panel to a value so the distance is ca. 1,5 line spacing or whatever your brother like to have.
Now write the text you want to have in the left column. To place the translation in the right column, choose the menu item "Insert/Column Break". Now the text cursor jumps into the right column and you can write the translation. To type the new text in the left column, choose the menu item "Insert/Layout Break". The text cursor jumps from the end of the right text under the text in the left column, and you can go on.
I know that the use of the menu items is not good for the workflow, so do the following:
Open the Sytem Preferences and choose the panel "Keyboard & Mouse". There click the tab button "Keyboard Shortcuts". Press the "+" button at the bottom of the list field. In the appearing sheed select the Pages app in the pull-down menu "Application:". If you can't find it there, use the last menu item "Other..." to search for it. Now type the EXACT menu item title in the text field "Menu Title:". Here it is "Column Break". Than activate the field "Keyboard Shortcut" and press the key combo you want to have for this function like "optionshiftc" or whatever. Press the "Add" button and repeat this steps for the menu item "Layout Break".
Close the System Preferences and start Pages. Now you can use the key combos for the break insertions.
I hope whith this your brother gets the document he wants to have. But if there are more questions, feel free to post them here.

Form spread over several pages. How?

I have a large table that I would like to use buttons to navigate to subsets of fields. Here is a link to a sample app.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=29570
When I click the edit or add create new item button, it takes me to the form with only a sub set of the fields shown as I want.
But if i make a change and use the buttons to naviagate from General, to Home, to Work - it looses the changes I made.
How can I accomplish this functionality.
I am not savy on Apex, so please try explaining with details or a sample app working would be great.
Thanks for your help

Two things
1) As the two posts above hint at, you need your buttons to submit (such that the values of your page items are kept in session state.) There's a big difference between a redirect and a submit and I'd guess that you are using the former.
2) You also need to check that when navigating back to your page to you aren't overwriting the values in session state through the use of an automated row fetch or PL/SQL process. Take a look at the source option of your page items, checking that you aren't refreshing your items state every time.

How to show master and detail tables in different pages?

Hi,
Can somebody expalin me how to include or bind the master and detail tables to different pages which are included at runtime.
thnaks,
Naresh.

Hello!
you have ti create a Master/Detail data structure.
In the first page drag the master table, on the second drag a detail table.
It should work out of the box. Selecting a record on the master table selects
the details on the detail table automatically!
