How do I minimize a section in Pages 5.1

I simply want to add a page to a Pages document.  When I add one, for whatever reason it adds a page, but puts the yellow box around it and the prior page, then has another page after that section.  Why is it doing this, I just want to add one page.

Yeah my question is, how do I minimize that section down to one page, not two? All I know is, the older version of Pages was much easier, when I laste updated, it changed functions and made things more difficult. Frustrated!!
JH,
Put the cursor where you want to end the first section and Insert > Section Break.

  • 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 do I move a section of Pages within a document ?

    Hi there,
    I am writing my thesis and I want to move a group of 6 pages (representing a chapter) from one area of my document to another. I inserted a 'Section Break' at the end of the page preceeding the first page of my grouping, and inserted another at the end of the 6th page of my grouping. I've done this for all the chapter groupings of my document.
    When I look at the thumbnail view on the side of the document, I can see that each chapter grouping is enclosed by a yellow line box if I click on a page within the chapter grouping. So far so good, I think. Except now when I click of one of those groupings and try to drag it and insert it in between two other other chapter groupings i.e. I'm trying to reorganise my chapter order, it doesn't move the section I want to move at all.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.
    Matt.

    Thanks for your advice Peter.
    I continued to play around with trying to move the sections around (I didn't change any sectioning to what I had previously done). I found out - and I don't know why - that I could not move sections upwards as I was trying to do...only downwards.
    So I eventually reorganised my sections by strategically moving them downwards until I had the document looking like I wanted it to. Still strikes me as odd. It was like doing one of those puzzles, deciding which block goes where without moving up, in as few moves as possible - but I eventually got it done.

  • How do I add a section in the latest pages with out it appending to the end of the document

    Hello to   all. I'm trying  to figure out how to add a section between pages 14 and 15 in my document, but when I do this it adds a section brake between the last page of said document which is around page 31 or so. I want to remove a whole section and this seems to be the only way to do this.
    I'm running osx10 Yosemite with pages 5.9. Any help here?
    Take care.

    In TestStand 2012, the ReportHeader string no longer contains a <body> tag, so you can directly append the extra HTML to the parameter without needing to do a search and replace.  The following expression worked in my case:
    Parameters.ReportHeader = "\R\N<IMG src=\"C:\\NI.JPG\" ALT=\"NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS\">" + Parameters.ReportHeader

  • How do I remove or delete a page from a Section?

    How do I remove or delete a page from a Section in Pages?

    The blank page is not blank, there is something on it like a return or word space, or a page break or return on the previous page that forces over to the "blank" page.
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles and delete it.
    Think of a word processing document like a scroll which you view through a set of frames (the pages).
    The scroll is filled from the front and flows through as many pages as necessary to accomodate the text in the main text area between the margins.
    Pages has one quirk however which catches out many users. Floating objects stay on their absolute page, the one where they were placed. If that page no longer exists because the text no longer flows that far, the floating objects are no longer visible. They are still in the document but off the end page, much like objects moved completely off the page to the right or down are still there but not visible.
    So if you want to make sure floating objects are entirely removed from the document delete, or move, those first, then select the text on that page by dragging over it or shift clicking from top to bottom and hit delete.

  • How do I name or rename sections in Pages word processing mode?

    How do I name or rename sections in Pages word processing mode?

    Those pages/sections you see in the when clicking on the Section button are Captured pages that you can use if you like. You can read about Captured pages and all about sections in Chapter 3 of the Pages User Guide. The Guide is downloadable from your Pages Help menu.
    To delete sections you delete the section break. To see the sections break turn on the Invisible characters by going View menu > Show invisibles. Text in the section will stay if you don't delete it.
    Add sections you do by adding section breaks. To name them you have to learn about capturing pages. Read about it on page 60 and 269.

  • How do I break up existing sections in pages

    My entire doc is one big section and I need to be able to break them up...how can I add new section in order to delet one or two pages.  Because it is in one big section...it will delete everything.

    I think what you are seeking is "Section Break" (Pages > Insert > Section Break).

  • How do I create sections in page layout mode?

    The "section break" option is always greyed out in page layout mode.
    But I want to create a newsletter with a cover page and then the other three pages will have different headers and footers and I want repeating images on them. This would seem to be quite normal for newsletters. Even the template newsletters do this, but they do do it manually, repeating the images for each page, and manually creating a header and footer for each page.
    I can do it word processing mode, but this is a page layout task - as indicated by Apple including the newsletter templates in the page layout templates.
    Is there anyway to create sections in page layout mode??

    If you compare Page Layout mode with Word Processing mode, you'll see that every page is a separate section.
    In Page Layout, you've got headers & footers, although it's possible some of Apple's Page Layout templates have it turned off, and you can turn off "Use previous headers & footers" on the first page after your cover page, so it seems to me like it's possible to do what you're trying to accomplish.
    A "section break" is a special character you place in the body text of a word processing document to force a new section (see also: page, column, layout, paragraph, and line breaks). In Page Layout, there is no body, and sections/pages are controlled by the Page Thumbnail View.

  • JDeveloper Team: How Do I minimize the number of Oracle Sessions using Data Tags?

    I am trying to create a stateful application thru my JSP pages. Everytime there is a reference to the application module using the data tag, it looks like it creates a new Oracle Session. But thats not what I want to do.
    I have a module in which my first JSP page allows viewing of the data and in subsequent pages I allow insert, update, delete, commit etc.
    My Questions:
    1) The problem that I am encountering is that every new page that I go to creates a new Oracle session even though I specify the "Stateful" release mode.
    How do I avoid this?
    It looks like , if one browser user can potentially create 10-20 oracle sessions thru one module, imagine what the impact will be when we have hundreds of users.
    2) The sample JSP pages I saw has the username and password hard coded in it every time. Why? For a stateful application can I not specify the username and password just once and have the other JSP pages use the same userid and password.
    What are the pros and cons? I thought if I don't use the username and password in all the JSP pages then it probably will not create additional Oracle sessions but that is not true!!
    3) If it creates several Oracle sessions , will it not cause locking problems? If so, How do I minimize locking problems in a stateful application.
    JDeveloper Team Please advise!!
    AM I missing something? I would appreciate if someone can help me out!
    null

    Thanks a lot for the information. That thread was indeed very helpful. But it still didn't answer all my questions:
    1) In the thread you mentioned, it mostly talks about Web beans. In a jsp page (using Web bean) we need to first invoke setReleaseApplicationResources(true) and then invoke releaseApplicationResources().
    Does this apply to data tags? I mean I have a tag <jbo:ReleasePageResources releasemode="Stateful" />. Is this enough to release the application module back to the pool or do I have to have something equivalent of setReleaseApplicationResources(true)?
    2. In a stateful application, the state of an application is maintained between requests via a browser cookie. For each browser, you can have one state per application module class. I was attempting to run "several browser sessions from the same machine" and the end result was that I got errors and unpredictable results ie it returned me far fewer rows then I saw originally. Should I be actually be running the browser session from different machines?
    3. In JDeveloper Documentation (section About Application Module pooling) there is a note section : "If the application module is not recycled the data stays the same. However if the application module was recycled and then activated through a failover, the activation logic re-executes the view objects, so it may bring in more or less rows then originally seen by the clients due to any database updates that have occured."
    This is exactly what is happening to me? How do I get rid of this problem? I want to be able to see all the original rows + any new rows That have been committed. Please advise!
    4. Are the JDBC connections tied to application module instances? Is it one JDBC connection per application module instance? So, in a stateful JSP, if I end up using a different application I also get a different JDBC connection. IS this true?
    5. Does the no of application module instances depend on the no of available JDBC connections? Because it looks like if you set the max no of connections to "5" and set the max no of application module instances to "10", It will be able to instantiate only "5" application module instances due to the limitation set by connection pool.
    6. At times I get errors which indicates that the row in view object does not exist. Is this something familiar? Or is it the same problem that John discussed in his thread.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to suppress printing trailer section in 6i

    Hi all,
    I have a report which has a trailer section but in some cases I don´t want to print the trailer section. When I use a format trigger and return false then I get a blank page at the end of the report. How can I disable this last blank page.
    best regards
    Thomas

    Hi,
    there is a problem, I can´t put this fields in the main section because there is a footnote and a logo in the margin. On the last pages are signatures which have to be on blank pages (without Logo and footnote). Furthermore I´ve tried to to hide the logo on the signature pages but the problem is that I can´t know before the report is printed how many pages are before the "signature section".
    I´ve found something about report customization at runtime with xml and if anybody has tipps how I can add a trailer page with this method, I would be pleased :)
    Best regards

  • How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.

    Hi,
    How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.
    i am able to print ( two sets ) ...
    up to last page ( one template ) and for last page ( another template).
    i want to change the footer information based on the group value printed in the report ( it might be 5 to 6) In every report run.. can you please check and let me know do we have any feasibility to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    KAP.

    You can remove all other logic, like last page only contents (start@last-page:body), etc and section breaks if any you have inserted manually.
    Just have for-each@section logic.
    It would be difficult for me to guess what you have done without looking at your RTF or describing here.

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.
