How do I create a common background image in Pages?

The Pages Help has NO RESULTS for "common background". The support site:
http://www.apple.com/support/pages/setup/
has a link to this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Pages/2.0/en/slng411.html ) but the link is dead.
Grumbles:
This "discussions" change is awful. The frame scroll is a pain. Doesn't Apple know iframes are unsupported now in HTML 4 Strict? The "more options" search found no results for this topic. It DID find lots of results for "crashed" and "quit unexpectedly". Here's hoping Apple knows the database doesn't work and can fix it. The "Product" drop list below is not alphabetical.

I agree that the forum changes are not all to the better and nowhere where we can tell our views about it.
About the Background. If you use the Pages User Guide and search for background you'll find the answer.
Pages User Guide is free to download and use from the Help menu in your Pages application.

How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

V.V.

How do you create a transparent background in AE

Hi--I'm using AE CS5 on a MacBook Pro and I'm brand new to using AE.
How do you create a transparent background?
I need it because I'm creating a shatter effect on a photo and want to import the AE movie into FCP and have it play on one layer while beneath it another image will be seen when the shatter effect takes place.
He'p me, cap'n!
Thanks!

Hey Guys, thanks for your replys!!
Wow, there's a lot to check out there--great!
I hope I'm on the right track, I just watched the video about preserving transparency and maybe I'm stupid, maybe cause I'm new, but I just want to be sure I'm on the right track. Sorry if my question was confusing, maybe cause I am a bit new.
To reiterate: I want to export a short AE movie of a shatter glass effect on a picture. The background needs to be transparent because I will import the AE movie into FCP and place it as the top layer. On a layer beneath it will be video I want to seen as the shatter glass effect creates a 'hole'.
I believe this url tells me how to do that: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/930588
Thanks again!

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion?

How do I create a bootable snapshot image of Lion? In the past, I used disk utilities - restore to create a copy of current hard drive on an external drive. If there was a problem, kids could boot to external and work until internal drive was fixed. This proved to be a great solution. On a new Macbook Pro with Lion, I get an error when I try. It says to do a restore from the recovery disk, but the recovery disk says it is a limited function OSX. I would like a full OSX so they can continue to work and even copy files over if the internal disk is suffering intermittent failures enough not to boot but not enough to keep from copying files. A few years ago one of the kids had a disk/boot failure duing finals but was able to boot from the external hard drive, copy over what he needed and access the internet so that he could finish the exams. Time machine is great, but there are instances where you need a quick fix to keep going until the new hard drive arrives.

I do not run Windows, so I have no idea how to handle that type of situation.
But, just to be clear: disregarding Windows, the recovery option downloads the OS and installs it. Technically, that is not a clone unless you copy the installer and create a bootable OS with it. A clone is an exact copy of your system including all your apps, user settings, files, etc, etc and will exist on an external hard drive in addition to your system on your internal - that is done with CCC or SuperDuper.
And, a GUID partition is created in Disk Utility > click on the drive > choose Partition > choose a layout other than what you now have > there will be a clickable Options button below. Click on that and you can choose GUID. Note: partitioning your drive will erase everything on it.

Create repeating / tiled background images

I may have missed this in the previous versions of Adobe Photoshop.
Is there "a way / or method" to create repeating / tiled background images in photoshop?
Many times a "tile" for a tiled background is quite small at around 150px x 150px.
1:
It would be very nice to be able to work on the tile, be able to zoom in and out of it, and actively see a functioning live tiled background.
Yes it might be a bit like a kaleidescope, but it would be live and you would see any harshness in the pattern and can remedy glitches it in real time.
2:
It would also be very nice to be able to "draw / paint / edit" off the edge of the tile and have the effect carried over to the other side...
Yes just like in Asteroids.
I think creating Tiled BG's is a very strong contender for being one of the more frustrating things I do with Photoshop. I hope the above ideas can be added to PS6.
Just to you you know... DPaint IV for the Amiga did this very well back in 1990'ish.

There will not be any substantial changes to CS6 to add new features beyond the beta. We are too far along in the process for that. To accomplish what you desire, can you use the pattern feature to tile? For any new features you wish to request, you can to to this website http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family people can vote on the favorite features.
Pattie
Use the Rectangle Marquee tool on any open image to select an area to use as a pattern. Feather must be set to 0 pixels. Note that large images may become unwieldy.
Choose Edit > Define Pattern.
Enter a name for the pattern in the Pattern Name dialog box.

How do i create a common master record

how do i create a common master record. thanks!

hi,
seems you are trying to say how to maintain a customer for multiple sales areas.
we have common distributin channels( t.code VOR1 ) and common divisions (t.code VOR2 ) to do it.
so when you create a customer, select the sales area as
s.org + common dist chan + comm div.
Now assign the rest of the dist chan and div to comm dist chan and comm div respectively. now your customer is automatically available for all these sales areas.
also check this link :

How do I create a direct link to a page in the secure zone?

Is this possible?

How does labview create a hyperlink in a web page?

Hi
I was wondering, how does labview create a hyperlink in a web page?
Thank you.

Hi,
What do you wish to do?
The most primitive way is to generate a .HTML file.
Type your HTML codes (Using string constant) and save it using "Write Chars To File.vi" using a filename with extension .html
Hope I am addressing your question.

How do I keep the body background-image centered?

I have a body background-image that does not fill up the
entire window on the tops and bottoms of most monitors (it
strectches to the left and right just fine) and so I would like to
have it centered vertically with equal amounts of the
background-color #ECE5C8.
I assumed using background-position: 50% 50% would do the
trick and it does until switching to full screen mode and all the
content jumps upwards and messes up the whole site layout (IE
only-in friefox, the background-image still doesn't center) so
instead I have the background-position set to: 50% 0%.
Thanks a million to anyone who can help me get it centered, I
know there has to be an easy fix but I sure can't figure it out!
The site can be found here:
http://www.lightspacewebdesign.com/sacredsolas

There would be only two ways to make this layout 'work'.
1. Just make everything on that page a graphic. Then there is
no
possibility that resizing the text in the browser will blow
the layout.
This is a very bad idea for obvious reasons.
2. Have the text containing 'graphical box' built in pieces
so that as the
text expands, it can cause the box to expand as well. The
easiest way to do
this is with a top a middle and a bottom image of the box,
using each as the
background image of three stacked containers. Place the text
in the middle
container and as it expands, it will tile the middle
background image
vertically to give the impression of the box expanding. This
approach
doesn't lend itself to your background image, since there is
no way to tile
the background image to fill the newly created space.
Beyond that, I think you are a dead duck. The problem is not
that this is
what you were given to work with - it's that you didn't
understand how
unusable the design was when you accepted it. I think your
best option now
is to go back to the designer and explain to them how this
lovely layout
only works well in print, and not on the web. Show them how
it fails.
Solicit suggestions from them for how to make it work in a
medium where
there is no way to control the size of the text.

How do I create an Array of Images

Hi,
I'm creating a program that basically is a slideshow. It has buttons that allow the user to switch from image to image, and has some audio in the background. I was wondering how I might create an array to store the images. I'm very new to Java, so please no detail is too small. I've just started using arrays, so I'm not sure where I would store the files or how to call the images. Please be descriptive and as dumbed down as possible :)
Thanks for the help!

I like ArrayList
ArrayList<BufferedImage> myPics = new ArrayList();then just dump them in with add(myBufferedImage)
If you'e not using BufferedImages then just change the BufferedImage to Image.
to get, say the 6th image back out, then use:
myBufferedImage = myPics.get(5);the index starts at 0 and should be addressed as 0 to (myPics.length - 1)

How to specify relative path for background image in xsl

Hi,
I am generating a PDF from Apcahe FOP. I have an xsl for that, in the xsl fo:block I am displaying a background image. When the image path is absolute like..C:\image\logo.png it works fine. But I want to have the image in my WebContent\images folder and my xsl file is in WebContent\xsls folder. So when I try giving the relative path as ../images/logo.png, the image is not displayed.
Can anyone tell how to do this???
Thanks,
Sanjeev.

I have a fo:block like this :
<fo:block border-style="solid" border-width="0.2pt" text-align="left"
                         background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
                         font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold" color="white" padding-top="1pt"
                         padding-bottom="1pt">
                         <xsl:value-of select="tr/td/span" />
                    </fo:block>In the above code you can see that the the background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
has been given as absolute. The images folder is in my WebContent directory. I want this path to be relative to the context of my application , something like background-image="url('../images/table_header_center.png')".
Thanks.
sanjeev.
