How do I insert checkboxes into a Pages document?

I have been trying to insert checkboxes into a document I created using Pages version 2.4.2 on my iPad Air. I would like an actual checkbox (not just the image of an empty box) so that a checkmark will appear once it has been selected. I am able to do this with the "Numbers" app, but I cannot copy and paste those check boxes to a Pages document.
I want to use this document as a form I can easily access and print with checkboxes. I have only found a way to insert bullets, but not checkboxes that you can click on with your finger and a check mark appears in the checkbox.
Thank you!

I think you are misunderstanding "Insert text at cursor". The ANNOTATIONS are not text editing tools, rather they are tools for people making comments to "mark up" documents. You use "Insert text at cursor" to tell the document author you want HIM OR HER to insert text at that point; the author reviews all the comments and changes the original.
You need to use one of the OTHER methods mentioned to actually add text. Probably simplest is the typewriter tool, which in Acrobat X is under TOOLS > CONTENT and is called ADD OR EDIT TEXT BOX.

Inserting text into a Pages document with Applescript

I want to create a Pages document from a custom template but be able to insert text at various points in the document (inputted data under headings etc). I would like to use Applescript but cannot get insertion points to work, is this possible? As usual, all help gratefully accepted.

I have made a Pages template that contains tables and I want to enter text into sections of these tables
That's a completely different story! But that's still possible using GUI Scripting. Here's an example:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    select table 1 of body text of front document
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
        set theWindow to window 1 whose role description is "standard window"
        click button "Table" of tool bar 1 of theWindow
        keystroke "Cell A1"
        keystroke tab
        keystroke "Cell B1"
        key code 125 -- down arrow
        keystroke "Cell B2"
        -- and so on
    end tell
    select insertion point after table 1 of body text of front document
end tell

How do I insert video into my webpage?

I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have taken my camcorder video and uploaded it to youtube and copied the mp4 file to my hard drive.
I have created a page with several videos on the page. I created a screenshot of the video and sized it to the appropriate size. I then created a link to the video mp4 file. However it opens in a separate page.
I want to have the video open on the same page in the same location as the screenshot. Click on the image and it just starts playing.
I notice that I can get it to do this if it is a flash (.flv) file but since all of my videos are mp4 that won't work.
How do I insert video into my webpage? Do I convert the mp4 files to flash? How? What do I do?
Thanks
Matt

Insert a numbers sheet into a pages document?

I've got a worksheet in Numbers that I would like to integrate into a Pages document. Later versions of Word allow you to actually insert an Excel "object".
Is there a similar technique with iWork '08? I tried copying and pasting the cells from the sheet and while it seems to accomplish what I need, the fact that I can't reorient the page to landscape causes the content to be pretty squished. For some reason I can't rotate the pasted content via the Metrics Inspector either.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, that fixes the orientation problem.
Once the spreadsheet cells are pasted into the pages document, can you edit them like a spreadsheet? I clicked on it and it rotated it back for me (which is nice) but I don't see how to do something like "insert row" etc.
What is the best suggested practice with iWork '08 when it comes to managing an uber-document that is really a combination of text and complex spreadsheets. Is it best to create/maintain the Pages and Numbers stuff in separate files until you are ready to publish the document? Can a Pages document "link" to a Numbers table?
Thanks,
Mike

How do I rotate a PDF that I dropped into a Pages document?

I got a PDF off the internet that is just what I need. But it is orientated incorrectly. So, how do I rotate it in my Pages document?
OR, if this is not possible, how can I rotate individual lines of text within my Pages document so that the correspond with the PDF?
Can I do this simply by using the Pages toolbar? I honestly don't know that I am capable of downloading a program off the internet, as I have tried this before for other things and the process has always gone +very awry+. Any SIMPLE solutions would be appreciated, as I am very challenged when it comes to using computers.
Thank you

Hi Tom,
Some late comments that may help.
I went to the link in your post and opened the pdf file in Safari. Judging by the icons for the available controls, Safari was using the Adobe Reader plug in, which does will display thumbnails of the original pages, but will not allow you to select or copy a single page.
I went File > Save as, and saved the pdf file to the desktop, then opened the file using Preview (control click or right click the file icon and choose Open with > Preview.
Preview displays the page thumbnails by default, allows you to select a single page by clicking its thumbnail, and allows you to Copy that selected page.
Which is what I then did.
I scrolled to Page 16, clicked on the thumbnail to select it, pressed command-C to copy.
I then went to Pages, where I had already created a new document from one of the Blank word processor templates.
I clicked in the document, then pressed command-V to paste the copied page into the document. It pasted (as expected) as an Inline object, so I went to the Format bar (above the page) and clicked Floating to change the pasted (and still selected) drawing to a Floating object.
Then I opened the Inspector and chose the Metrics Inspector (ruler icon).
At the bottom of the Inspector window, I changed the 0 in the Rotate Angle box to -90, then pressed tab to effect the change.
In the Size section, I checked that the Constrain Proportions box was checked, then used the stepper controls on one of the Size boxes to resize the drawing to fit the width of the page. As the proportions were constrained, this also adjusted the height of the drawing. While adjusting the size, I also used the steppers of the X and Y position boxes to position the drawing where I wanted it.
Finally, to ensure that text did not slip under (or over the face of) the drawing, I switched to the Wrap inspector and selected one of the Wrap buttons.
The keys here are to make sure the object remains selected through the whole process (or is re-selected if it becomes unselected), and to make sure you are working with a Floating object (the drawing) rather than an Inline object.
Regards,
Barry

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it? Thanks

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.

How can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before

how can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before.

I assume this is Microsoft Word, and you want the first six pages to have no footer, subsequent pages to have a footer showing the page number.
1. Insert a section break after the first six pages.
2. Insert page numbers. This will add a footer with page numbers to both sections.
3. Unlink the section 2 footer from the section 1 footer. [Click in the footer area, uncheck Link to Previous in the Header and Footer toolbar.]
4. Delete the page number from the section 1 footer.
Your document will now show page numbering on all pages starting with section 2.

How to decide inserting Queries into Workbooks

Hi,
I have a few doubts..pls clarify my doubts
1. How to decide inserting Queries into workbooks (How many number of Queries will be inserting into workbooks??)
2. Shall i use single sheet (or) Multiple sheets
3. We are using Hierarchy...So, How to insert a Query( How to decide which row/coulmn the Query can be placed??)
4. How to suppress Zeros and # permanently (For temporarily, i went to cell context menu--All Characteristics-Suppress zero column/Row..)
But looking for permanent solution..
Please Suggest me ...
Thanks..
Help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks.........

Hi venkat,
1.how may queries in a workbook will depend on the reporting requirement.
2. single or multiple sheet - it is advisable to insert one query in each sheet to avoid confusion.
3. If you are using hierarchies then it is not advisable to use then in worrkbooks, since the values in the cells would keep changing depending on the hierarchy and the level it is expanded etc.
4. To supress zeros you can also do a setting in spro -- > SAP netweaver --> SAP Business information warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> presenting the numeric value in the Business explorer
Standard settings
Under certain circumstances numeric values and texts for currencies, or units, in the Business Explorer cannot be determined uniquely. In such cases predefined texts are displayed instead of the numeric values, and currencies, or units:
If a Division by zero arises when calculating a numeric value then this text is output.
If a numeric value cannot be determined then this text is output (does not exist).
If a numeric value is not calculated due to numeric overlapping then this text is output.
If a numeric value is made up of several currencies, or units, then this text is output instead of the currency or unit (mixed currencies).
If a user does not have authorization to display a particular numeric value for a cell in the executed query, then this text is output in the cell instead (no authorization).
If a calculated numeric value is made up of different currencies, or units, then the numeric value can or cannot be output. If you choose mixed values then the numeric value is output. If mixed values is not active then the text is output that you entered under "mixed currencies".
Activities
1. Determine the texts that are to be output in the Business Explorer instead of numeric values.
2. Decide whether numeric values, that are made up of different currencies, or units, should be output.
If the above explanation was helpful, please assign reward points.

Copying a google map into a Pages document

I was wondering if anyone knows how to copy a google map into a Pages document? I am creating a real estate flyer, and would like to include a map on the back. I know how to insert a Google map using the Widget in iWeb, but not using Pages. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can take a screensnap of the map: +cmd shift 4+ and drag over your selection. The snap lands on your desktop named +Picture 1+ etc.
Make sure you enlarge the map as big as possible on the screen as it is only at screen resolution, 72dpi, and you need about 300dpi for printing.
Usually it is better to draw a simplified diagramatic map for directions in a vector drawing program like OmniGraffle, VectorDraw, ZeusDraw, EazyDraw, LineForm, Intaglio or Illustrator. Bring these in as .pdf files which are freely scalable.
Pages also has drawing tools at the bottom of the Shapes pulldown menu on the ToolBar but it is cumbersome compared with the dedicated programs.

Inserting Form Fields in Pages Document

Does anyone know if it is poossible to insert a form field into a pages document just like what can be done is a Word document? I would like the ability to develop a template that has some drop-down menus throughout the document (for different variables) so I can reuse the template in various scenarios by simply selecting the appropriate info from each menu.
Example:
"Your time horizon is Menu Choice (drop-down with: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, greater than 10 years).
I'll I've been able to find is the mail merge feature. But I'm not looking to merge data from my contacts.

No you can't lock the document. If you even lock the textboxes you can't type into them.
I'm a supposed expert (I use countless DTP apps) and I don't find Pages easy at all. In fact for many tasks it is quite a kludge.
But the templates are nice.

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Are we talking about a spread? ie the pdf spans 2 pages side by side? Like in a magazine centrefold.
That requires you to insert the pdf on both pages, one hanging half over to the right and the other half over to the left.
