How do i make a "fill in the blank" line????

I am making a questionnaire and need to have lines/spaces that can be filled in.
When i use the underscore it does not work bc it moves the lines and words. I need something that when i send the document to a client they can fill it out and e-mail it back to me with out messing up the entire format of the document.
how do i do this? please help!
thank you!

Hi, and welcome to Apple discussions and the pages '09 forum.
Check the article _Creating Placeholders in Custom Templates_ in Chapter 13, *Designing Your Own Document Templates* of the Pages '09 User Guide.
The guide is can be downloaded through the Help menu in Pages. The article is on page 267.
You may have to put the placeholder into a Text Box to retain the position of other text on the page.
Note that the client will require Pages '09 on his/her machine to open a Pages file.

  • How can I make a fill-in-the-blank question with partial score?

    I need to make an evaluation test with some questions. Some of them is a fill-in-the-blank question and it has to have partial score.
    I have:
    4 fields (text entry boxes) with: retain text, validate user input;
    also checked include in quiz, with points, add to total and report answers;
    an action that disables the 4 fields when the student is on review mode (otherwise it would be possible to change the answer after submitting the answers);
    Problems:
    I can't give feddback to the student: if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering, if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer. I tried to use a shape to hide captions but the captions are always in front of the shape;
    When reviewing the test something happens and the second time we see the results slide it assumes that the fields in the FIB question are empty;
    Notes: it will be used in Moodle, as a scorm package
    What can I do?

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms

    How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms in Pages 5

    Pages does not do it like Word, best you can do is tab over a space and leave that space for the user to type into.
    Perhaps putting a small label under to indicate what is required.
    A fill in the blanks form made in Pages however really defeats the point.
    Who out there has Pages, particularly whatever incompatible version you are using?
    Pages has trouble opening Pages files thanks to Apple.
    Use standard file formats either pdf (created in Pages, turned into a form in Acrobat Pro or their website) or Word .docx.

  • How do I create a "fill-in-the-blanks" worksheet?

    I am a teacher that works with students who have various needs - some of them have a difficult time writing with a pencil. There are tons of great teacher resources out there that I can print and use for students to write on. However online worksheets are another story. I came across the idea of using AdobeForms as an adaptation to writing.
    For example...
    Yesterday was _____________________. Tomorrow will be _________________.
    Or even:
    My n__me is _____________.
    Can anyone help me? Right now the only way I can do a fill in the blank is to have a field below a blurb of text, but I don't know how to do a field in between text.
    Help!

    If I were doing this I wouldn't use FormsCentral. I would create the layout in InDesign or a word processor and convert to PDF using Acrobat. I'd then add the form fields in Acrobat where the blank spaces are. You can limit the number of characters in a field and a lot more. Do you have Acrobat available to you? If not another option is to use the free OpenOffice /NeoOffice and create your layout and form fields and then export to PDF.

  • How can I make Color Tags color the whole line?!

    All,
    I have been using Color Tags every since they first  appeared on the Mac. It WAS great to color code files and folder of which I now have hundreds done that way. Problem is that now Apple has done away with the easy to see, easy to use colored line and replaced it with a stupid tiny dot. How can I get my colored lines back? Why does Apple keep changing things that have worked for year into things the are HARDER to use?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    "Labels" has been changed to "Tags" in Mavericks. It appears that you cannot modify the appearance of Tags in Mavericks at this point.
    There have been several threads on the subject in this forum, and the some of the suggested solutions are to revert your OS back to the system you had prior to Mavericks, or investigate 3rd party software such as Pathfinder, which allow you to modify the  presentation in the finder -

    Apple does not monitor these threads, so the only way to make sure way to make sure Apple hears your opinion on this is to give your feedback directly to Apple:

  • How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

    i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

    If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
    You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
    More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

  • "Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

    In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
    I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller. 
    As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
    Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

    HI Velders,
    Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
    Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
    Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How to create a fill in the blank program?

    Hey everyone,
    So I am working on a new program that requires a fill in the blank section. I am loading the data via xml as a paragraph, but what I am wondering is how to take this data and make a simple fill in the blank section where if it is right, it turns green, if its wrong, it turns red. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Linda,
    I will try this.
    I tried too.
    I started with a blank Page Layout document in Pages (File > New From Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas.
    I added four Text Boxes to that blank canvas:
    In my example, the Text Boxes all have black outlines for clarity in that screen shot (select the Text Boxes, then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > Line and set the line style, colour and width).
    Then File > Print...
    and on the bottom left of the Print dialogue:
    Save with a suitable document name in a convenient location.
    Then open that PDF in Preview and type the word DoubleClick in each user field:
    Double clicking will select that "word" and it will act as the Place Holder Text that Peter referred to. The user can begin typing to replace that "word".
    Please be aware that this PDF is not a locked form with fields that users can enter data. Here, I show how to select (and possibly vandalise) the Name box:
    It all depends upon how well you can trust your users!

  • How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

    How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection?  I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
    pshultz

    It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
    If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

  • How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

    how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
    have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
    to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
    How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
    "Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • How do I download a pdf, fill in the blanks and then email

    How do I download a pdf file, change it so I can fill in the blanks, then email?

    If the form doesn't have any fillable form fields, then you could use the text tool under "fill and sign" in Adobe Reader XI.
    If you have an older version, you cannot do this.
