How do I get a section break/page break when the item is greyed out?

I've created an A4 document in word processing mode, with four identical A6 text boxes covering the entire page. Then I've created a second page with four more A6 text boxes so I can print a postcard on both sides of the card. Trouble is, Pages has made two extra text pages that I don't want, the first is linked to Pages 1 and 2, and the second is separate. I can't create a section break or page break because the command is greyed out, so I can't delete page 3. When I try and delete page 4, which is a stand alone page, it also deletes pages 2,3 and 4, leaving me with just page 1!
I don't have any problem with page breaks or section breaks in an ordinary A4 document with just one text box on a page, but I often want to create multiple text boxes and when I do I have always had this problem, ever since Pages was first introduced. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?

Thank you, Yvan, but I've tried that. Firstly, I unchecked the headers and footers tick box in the Inspector because I want the postcards to be exactly A6 size, that is, one quarter of A4. I've tried making the lower two text boxes slightly smaller (which I don't really want to do, because I want them A6 size) but I still can't get the insertion point to appear below the text box – it stays resolutely in the next page and won't go back up to the previous page. Any further ideas? Thank you.

  • How can i turn off passcode when the option is greyed out

    how can i turn off passcode in iPhone 4S when the option is greyed out?

    You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

  • How do I get my registration benefit?  None of the items shown are selectable

    I have just upgraded my copy of Adobe Master collection 4 to Master Collection 5.5. on a 64-bit PC running Windows 7
    After starting up Adobe Photoshop I went to Help/Complete Update Adobe Profile where I was told "Claim your exclusive benefit today". Choices were offered and I clicked on the free font. All it did was display information about the font.  There is nothing on that page that says "Give me it now"!
    I copleted the registration hoping there would  be a link at the end of that. There wasn't.
    I found others having a similar problem on the forums "Where's the free gift?" but the solution (go to Edit your Adobe Account information/Personal Info) doesn't work.
    How can I get my "exclusive benefit"?
    On top of an installation failure which told me I'd have to reinstall (which Adobe Analyzer tells me is because my new laptop apparently has a more recent version of Flash Player than CS5.5 and isn't anything to worry about) and then a check for updates that revealed the package delivered by Adobe just yesterday actually requires nearly 1GB to be downloaded, this doesn't give a great initial impression of quality. :-(

    Irascian I apologize for the inconvenience.  We are currently experiencing difficulties with customers claiming their benefits online.  I would recommend reviewing and following the steps in Complimentary benefit claim document.

  • With some (not all) sites that require passwords, how do I get Firefox to resume saving passwords when the site is not in the exception list?

    For some banking sites that require passwords, I am 99.3% sure I at some time said "never remember passwords." Now I want to change my mind. When I go to Options/Options/Security/Remember.../Exceptions, the sites are not listed, but I still am not asked the question 'Want to remember....'

    Thanks for your help and your quick reply, cor-el!
    I did install the view passwords bookmarklet; it worked properly. I installed the saved-password-editor, and I think I entered all fields correctly, although (1) I was not sure of the meaning of the field 'submit prefix' and used the 'guess from current page' button, and (2) I winged it using the default on both the username field name and the password field name because the guess button simply said 'fill this form based on a likely login form on the current page.' [Does the button pick up that name?]
    After fumbling a while, everything got to working! So, THANKS! Although I'm still not sure what the 'view passwords' bookmarklet does for me, since I do know the needed passwords.
    I'm going to leave this open for one more day, since as a first-time user I don't know whether messages are added (such as explanations to my above minor issues) after I acknowledge the problem solved. I'll do that tomorrow.

  • How do I enable my camera when the option is greyed out in iChat?

    This may be a dumb question, especially as I only 'converted' to Macs 3 days ago... but when I start iChat the option to enable my camera is greyed out (it wasn't this morning when I checked) - what have I pressed to disable it and how do I re-enable it?
    I have a MacBook Pro with a built-in camera (bought 3 days ago strangely....)
    Thanks for any advice you can offer

    Two Places to Check
    In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
    Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
    If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
    Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

  • Stupid question but how do I get my mac web page to extend the first page?

    sorry about the ignorance... i'm sure it will be simple. but I want to have a long page rather than many seperate ones on my opening web page, and I don't seem to be able to extend one.... it just goes to the end of the first page and stops. and I want to be able to just navigate down for a 'longer page' if you see what I mean. is there a trick?

    Hi,
    The length of the page adjusts itself to the length of the main textbox on that page. Thus while you write the page the length will adjust itself.
    However it's not recommended to make such a long page due to loading times especially if there is a big amount of graphics.
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • I settup Bootcamp drive on my Macbook pro retina.  Loaded Windows 7.  The necessary drivers to communicate with Win7 did not load. How do I get drivers for flash drive, etc. when the keyboard et. all do not work on Windows side?

    Can't get Windows 7 to recognize my keyboard, usb drives, nor the mouse pad on my MacBook Pro.  Have settup Bootcamp division and loaded Win 7.  Apparantly the needed drivers did not load.  How do I deal with this issue?
    Thanks.

    Got it working! 
    First off, I found out if you use a 32GB Flash Drive or larger, you need to format it with EXFAT format, not MS-DOS FAT.  I was also trying to use USB 3.0 Flash Drives which may have something to do with my problems.  I was successful in my installation attempt when I used an 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive formated in DOS/FAT.
    Also ensure when you install Windows, that Windows 7 Premium (NOT Basic) is selected for installation (also had the option to install Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate but do not have the license for them).  I did not see that window with all the options on any of my three previous installation attempts.  I noticed that Windows 7 Basic is the default which may have been part of the problem.
    Happy and safe New Years to all,

  • How do I get my phone back up running when the restore from back-up cannot be performed due to an error?

    I attempted to update my software on my iphone 4.  The screen now says either set up as a new iphone or restore from back-up.  Each time I choose run back-up and press continue it tells me "itunes could not restore the iphone "Sarah's iphone" because an error occured.

    That's literally all it said "the back-up could not be restored because an error occured".
    Anyway I did the old trick of shutting down the pc, rebooting & trying again.
    Then once phone connected & iTunes up it stated my software was up-to-date but the phone was still fairly empty. Then my husband had a look & sorted it all out. Not sure exactly how.

  • How do I get my songs to another device when the links are not working?

    I am having an issue with songs that I have purchased.  They will play on my phone but when they are in a playlist they will not play and I cannot put them on another device.  I have downloaded them to the computer from the iTunes store but same issue.

    When you play a song, tap the album art to bring up more options. The repeat button is the one furthest to the left (looks like two arrows in an oval). Tap it until it is not coloured anymore.

  • How do I turn location services on when the option is greyed out?

    I cannot turn the setting on. I have tried adjusting the restrictions settings as well. Help?!?!?!?!?

    I had the same problem.
    Going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    re-enabled the location services.  You'll have to go disable manually the ones you don't want on, maybe to save battery power, but this worked for me.

  • 2 minutes ago I was on a page in the community that had content 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago etc. Now I can't find it. I see 1 hour ago, 4 hours ago... How do I get back to that page.

    Hi Terry,
    2 minutes ago I was on a page in the community that had content 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago etc. Now I can't find it. I see 1 hour ago, 4 hours ago... How do I get back to that page.
    When you say "2 minutes ago" was that literally 2 minutes ago, or did the page stay idle for some time? The page does not automatically update and continues to show the times of posts when last opened. If you leave the page and return to it, it will then update (reload) with new elapsed times.
    Questions and replies come thick and fast. Perhaps the thread has been pushed down the page by newer posts. It could have been pushed to another page. Click on the Next button (top and bottom of page). "Next" is actually older posts (they are stored in descending time order).
    Have you followed suggestions by b j t and ~Bee?

    Ian.

  • Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...
