How do I create a table that breaks for new pages?

I'm running Pages 5.5.1 on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and am having difficulty understanding table behavior.
Scenario 1 - I create a new file and insert a table at the top of the first (blank) page.  It automatically is selected for Object Placement>Move With Text.  If I add rows to this table, Pages automatically adds a new page and breaks the table so that additional cells appear on the new page.  All well and good.  If I change the Object Placement to Stay on Page, the second page and those cells disappear.
Scenario 2 - I create a file and first add a few lines to the top of the first page.  Then, I insert a table below those lines.  It is also automatically selected for Object Placement>Move With Text.  When I add rows, the table does not break for the second page, but the entire table jumps to the second page.  If I change the Object Placement to Stay on Page, I can then slide the table back onto page one, but as in Scenario 1 the portion of the table which would continue onto page two disappears.
So, how do I create a table that I can add to a page which is not blank (as in Scenario 2) which will break automatically onto page 2 instead of jumping, and so the rows appear on page two (not disappear as I describe above)?
Thank you for your help.

The inline table is supposed to break but like most things Pages 5 it is buggy and erratic in its behavior.
Use Pages '09.

    How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather than to delete?

    From your question I'm going to guess you are talking about Mac Mail.
    If you are talking about a RULE then the "Perform the following actions:" would be to select "Move Message" to mailbox "Junk" instead of "Delete Message."
    If you are talking about something else then please give more information.

  • How do I create a template that will update all pages when it is updated?

    Hi everyone, I am a complete InDesign newbie, as this is my first project with it. I was wondering if there is a way to create a generic template in InDesign that, when updated, would also update all the pages made from it. The behavior I am looking for is similar to the way Dreamweaver does templates... when you create a new page, you can tell it to make the page from the already created template. That template has been pre-configured with editable regions. Anything outside the editable regions cannot be modified unless editing the template directly.
    Does this functionality exist in InDesign? I am running CS5.
    Thanks!

  • How do I create a macro that allows for the columns to be dynamic

    I've created a macro in my workbook which is a very simple division of one cell by another.  However when they use the filters to add or delete columns my macro isn't dynamic so I need to some how use a dynamic column reference.  Is this possible and if so can you supply some example code.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What BI version are you in? If you are in 3.x, you can check the resultArea variable in the VBA code. That will give you an idea on the size (height, location, width) of the result area of the query.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

    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.

  • How do I create a table of content in a Pages Template (lay-out) document?

    Dear all,
    I recently started designing a brochure in Pages, using a lay-out document. The document counts over 100 pages. Now I need to make a table of contents and I just don´t get how to do this...
    Any help is more then welcome!
    With warm regards,
    Nina

    That sounds more like a book than a "brochure".
    You can not make a TOC in Layout mode. The TOC only scans the styled text in the default text area (between the margins) of Word Processing documents and ignores everything else.

  • How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

    How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub? 
    Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
    OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
    Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf>  but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
    Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
    However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
    (Thank you so much in advance for any help).

  • How do we create a CURSOR that consists of two TABLES

    I would like to access a cursor that has columns from two tables.

    How do we create a CURSOR that consists of two TABLESA cursor does not consist of data. A cursor is not a result set that is created in the memory of the database server and populated with "+results+".
    A cursor is source code (SQL or anonymous PL/SQL block) that has been compiled into an executable program. The execution plan (see the EXPLAIN PLAN SQL command) describes the structure of this program and how it will be executed.
    When you fetch data from a cursor, you are receiving the output of this executable program known as a cursor.
    So as the other respondents explained in this thread, you need to create SQL source code that joins tables. Then you send this SQL to the server, where it is parsed and compiled into a cursor in the database's Shared Pool (together with all other SQLs that the database received - all SQLs are compiled as cursors).
    Once this is done, you can open the cursor (execute the cursor program) and fetch data from it.

    How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
    I currently run OS X 10.10.1
    Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
    Here is an example of what i want to happen.
    I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
    Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
    for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
    Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

  • How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?

    How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
    When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title.  Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

    You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
    Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
    Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
    You can do it manually though.

  • How Do I Create A Table?

    I will admi9t that I am the newest of "newbies" to SQL Server so I pose the basic question : How Do I Create A Table in SQL Server? I read in a book fairly recently how to do this but have forgotten.
    Steve R. Burrus

    "SQL Server 2008 supports the creation of tables using T-SQL, the SQL Server
    Management Studio (SSMS) Object Explorer and the SSMS Database Diagram Editor. Regardless of the tool you choose, creating a table involves naming the table, defining the columns, and assigning properties to the columns. The visual tools (such
    as Object Explorer and database diagrams) are usually the best starting point for creating tables.
    Using Object Explorer to Create Tables
    The Object Explorer in SSMS has a Tables node under each database listed. You can add tables via the Object Explorer by right-clicking this Tables node. As shown below the
    New Table option displayed after you right-click the Tables node in Object Explorer. The top-right side of the screen shown in bleow.it is the table creation screen that allows you to enter the column name and data type and to set the Allow
    Nulls option.
    The data entry area under Column Name is a free-form area where you can define a column name. You can select the data type from the Data Type drop-down, which displays
    the data types available with SQL Server. The Allow Nulls option is Boolean in nature and is either checked or not checked. For each column selected, a Column Properties section is displayed in SSMS, providing a myriad of additional properties that you can
    assign to each column.
    Using T-SQL to Create Tables
    Ultimately, all the tables created with the visual tools can also be created by using T-SQL. As with many of the SSMS tools, database objects can be resolved or scripted into T-SQL statements.
    Let’s examine the T-SQL syntax to better understand some of the table creation options. so let's create a Table name
    test.Customer which has a 5 columns of CustomerID, LastName, FirstName, CreditLine, and CreationDate. so when you execute the bottom code you will have the table. 
    --START with USE command to tell the sql server which database you want to create the table on, this case we want to create the table on Adventurework2008 (it’s a Sample database)"
    USE
    Adventurework2008
    CREATETABLE test.Customer
    (CustomerID
    INT IDENTITY(1,1),
    LastName
    VARCHAR(50)
    NOT NULL,
    FirstName
    VARCHAR(50)
    NOT NULL,
    CreditLine
    MONEY SPARSE NULL,
    CreationDate
    DATE NOT
    NULL)
    GO
    I hope this helps answering your question more or less. Goodluck

  • How do I create this table?

    When I paste the buy/sell ticket (table) from this page http://www.globalfutures.com/resources/order-placement.asp into Pages, everything comes out fine except the top - the five columns and split row above Buy and Sell labels.
    Any idea how I can create these five columns without adding new columns that go down the length of the ticket? Same for the top row that is split by columns (one box has "ticket #" and the other "Global Futures Exchange & Trading Company, Inc.").
    I don't know how to create the type of independent columns and rows they are using.

    If you're a client of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc. (as opposed to being an employee/associate of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc.), is there a need to copy the table?
    As I read the page, the table is a ticket produced after an order is received, not a form on which to place an order.
    All that's needed to place an order is what's described in the section above the table, and illustrated by the single line example:
    How to Place Orders
    The first thing to understand about order placement is that there is a standardized way in which to place an order. When placing an order, there are several pieces of information that need to be conveyed.
    • Name
    • Account Number
    • Order Type (Day, Open, Option)
    • Buy or Sell
    • Number of Contracts
    • Month
    • Commodity
    Here is an example:
    "This is John Smith, Account 650-12345. Day Order: Buy 10 March E-Mini S&P at 1285.50"
    The table appears to be an illustration of the ticket produced by the associate/employee receiving the order.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: I'll skip instructrions for constructing the table, as my instructions would be essentially the same as Peter's.
    I'd add a note that having the table model wouldn't particularly simplify the task of copying a similar table (and its information) from the web.

    DC,
    If you want to use Copy/Paste, you should use the Edit > Paste Values version. Or, you could simply add references in the Yearly table to the monthy tables.
