How do I set the document language in Pages '13?

In Pages '09 it was possible to set a document's language by going to the More tab in the Text menu of the Inspector and selecting the language from the pull-down menu.
In Pages '13 this has disappeared from the text format More sidebar, and I cannot find any way to set the language at all. It is possible to alter the spell-checking language in the Spelling and Grammar menu (under Edit in the menu bar), but this also indicates that the document language is set somewhere centrally. See this screenshot, where I have a document that was obviously set to Br. English and I want it in Am. English:
I have to work in multiple languages and various flavors (it's the same in German). My system language is set to English and my keyboard to Am. English.
Any idea of what to do?
Thanks,
Pato

That is all you can do at present with Pages 5. Like Peter said, if you want something more, you need to go back to Pages 4.

The only choices you have in the iPad itself are to change the keyboard or change the user interface language. If that doesn't do what you want, probably best ask the people who make Papers.

How to set the document language based on the contents of a text variable?

In my Indesign documents, I use a text variable in which I type the abbreviation of the document language according ISO639-1 (e.g. EN, DE, ES, ...). I'd like to have a JavaScript that checks this text variable every time the document is opened and then sets the Language property of my Normal paragraph style, but I don't have any experience with JavaScript.
Can someone help me please?
PS: I use InDesign CS5.5.

Hi Todd,
I believe ES4 sp1 allows you to do this, but I don't have that version so aren't sure. I follow the steps described in this blog, LiveCycle Blog: Gesperrte PDF-Eigenschaften in XFA-Formularen ändern//Edit locked PDF properties in XFA forms seems very hacky but does work (the English version comes after the German).

How to programmatically set the value to current Page layout property?

Hi,
How do I set any text value to the current page layout [comment] property and save it.....here my current page is using a custom page layout called spPageLayout1
To be very much generalized how I can set and save any value to current page property programmatically....on load event I need to set the value.
It is a publishing page layout.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the value to current Page layout property.
To get current page property, you can refer to:
How to get current Pages details in SharePoint2010 publishing site
Get Content Field Value in Article Page
To get current page layout property, you can refer to:
PublishingPage.Layout Property (Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing)
PageLayout.Title Property (Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing)

Setting the document language in a pdf for accessibility

I have created a form in livecycle and ran the full accessiblity check in Adobe and it says that 'All of the text on this page lacks a language specification'. I tried to go into the document properties>advanced and set the reading options but everything is greyed out so I can't change anything. I am the form author so I don't know why I am unable to change this. Can anyone tell me why I can't set the language or if there is another way I could do this?
Thank you!

Sorry, I don't know. But bear in mind that the accessibility checker in Acrobat is not relevant to you at all. An XFA form looks like an empty PDF to accesibility rules. I really don't know if there are accessibility rules and tools for XFA forms.

How can I set a different language in Pages

How can I change the language in pages?
I'm editing a document in French, so want the spell checker to check in French, not English !

OK, solution is simple : Inspector - Text - select language.
(need to 'select all' text first for the change to effect existing text, obviously)
This works fine, but I still find it cumbersome : do I need to set this language again for every new document, or create a new template in the right language ?

How do I set the grammar properties in Pages?

I would like to change the setting on what grammar the Apple Pages proofreader checks. How can do change the settings in the proofreader?
The two biggest annoyances in Pages proofreader is "Complex Word Choice" and "Wordy Expression". Depending on what is being written, there is sometimes a need for using "complex word choices" or "wordy expressions." For instance, I recently wrote "proceeded" and Pages marked it as a "complex word choice." It suggested that I use "continued" instead. First, I do not see "proceeded" as a complex word. Any sixth grader should understand the word "proceeded." Second, varying word choice makes a document more readable in my opinion. Since I used "continued" in a previous statement, I prefer not to use it so soon again. When I provide a direct quote from a source, which I often have to do, I get a lot of "Wordy Expression" marks from pages. Being a direct quote, I can't change what was said.
I do not want to turn the grammar checker off, but I would like to disable these two specific checks within the proofreader.
Thanks.
James

I agree that your choices are superior to the programmed suggestions.
Since I am grateful for the education that I received, and have yet to meet a computer that can write, I never, ever use the grammar checker.

Stru,
You posted your question in the Pages (word processor) discussion area. Hope you can find your way back to Excel without any difficulty. The answer wouldn't have been much different had you posted in the Numbers discussion.

How do I change the text language in Pages 5?

I'm working hard on a project since July in Catalan, everything was going well while I was working with iWork'09 but when I updated to Pages 5.0 the spell checking had changed the language to Spanish and doesn't check it in Catalan. What can I do to change it? Thank you.

Did you go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar and change the dictionary to Catalan?

How do I set the starting or opening page?

When a user first opens an ibook, is there a way to set which page it initially opens to?
(I'm creating a book that opens right to left and I'd love the reader to start on the last page.)
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Is this your experience?
I think what is displayed (first page/first chapter) on the first use depends on the template and orientation. In any case, the flow is still right to left....first to last.
What if the last page was labeled page #1?
Is this the same question? If so, same reply as before.
If you want stylistic control over your content in a non-standard IBA way, you may want to consider making an app where such fluid navigation can be applied.

Hi All,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
I have a table called "Employee"
Columns :- id , name , location
Data :- 1, ,james , chicago

Now i have another webservice(created as a webservice dataControl) which sends me the "id" on each time my page loads.Now the id which has been returned by webservice should be incorporated in my VO Query as in where clause to fetch the data for the respective "id" in that "Employee" table and should be rendered on form.
Eg :- Id "2" has been sent by the webservice then the record should be fetched from database should be "2","raj","capetown".
I know that there would be necessity of bind variable , but how do i set the bind variable on page load ?
How can i use the bind variable appropriately ??

Hi Jaime,
Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Hi,
Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.
