How do I get Pages to quit printing small boxes in my text?

When setting up a small, 2 page flyer, I like change numbered sentences to a dark red, make them bold, then make them superscript. All of this is built into my Pages '09 templates and makes things easier to read for younger folks.
I created a new document from one of these templates today and it looked perfect on the screen but when I printed the document, between the bold, dark red superscript number and the first letter of the sentance, where I had left a space, I now have (only on the printed copy) a small box. I don't know why it shows up only when printed, but I'm hoping someone can help me get Pages to stop printing those boxes.
Thanks for any and all help!

You may also add OpenOffice spell checkers, there is a long list of languages, including Norwegian. These may be used with other apps too. Downloaded OO dics have the extension .oxt, manually change it to .zip, confirm when asked that you really wish to do this. Open the resulted folder and take from there .dic and .aff files, and move them to /Library/spelling. You may thus have as many spell checking dics as you wish. They may be selected in all the apps based on the Cocoa engine, including Pages.
In the attached screenshot, in the lower part you may see these dics.
P.S. I am not very familiar with Norwegian, but it seems the article does not specify how to download and install OO dics.

How to type selected pages in the Print dialog box

Hello,
I am using ID5 with Windows 7.
I need to provide sample pages on my web site of a book I wrote.
I pressed Ctrl-E, named the file, chose Adobe .pdf (Print), and then typed in all the pages:
Sec.1:1, ii-vii, Sec2:1, Sec2:20-23, Sec2:51, Sec2:72, Sec2:92, Sec2:100, Sec2:102, Sec2:116, Sec2:121, Sec2:150-156
These are an EXACT match to what's in the Pages panel, yet ID will not make the .pdf! I have tried typing the pages both with and without spaces in between, but am getting nowhere.
NOTE: The first entry correctly includes a period, unlike any of the other entries. The second entry correctly omits a section number, and the last page is indeed 156.
Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
I noticed today that site visitors are looking for this .pdf, which wasn't stored in my Media area as I thought, so I've got to get this done pronto because I'm losing sales!
Thank you!

You can also set your General Preferences' Page Numbering View to Absolute and then you can enter absolute page numbers in the export dialog, which might be easier with complicated sections and prefixes.
The sections and prefixes are still there but for exporting and printing the pages become:

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

File > Page Setup = Scale
The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.

How do we get page to flow to edges of any browser window?

How do we get page to flow to edges of any browser window? CS3 Dreamweaver: 2 column liquid,left sidebar,header,footer

With CSS divs or table widths defined in percentages instead of pixels.
#container {width: 100%}
Liquid layouts can get real unwieldy on super wide or super narrow displays. Thus, if I have a lot of content to display, I prefer to use a semi-liquid layout = % based with min- and max-width restrictions to control layout.
