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.
A crutch for life only helps you limp better.

    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.

    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.

    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 can i set the item properties at top level

    Dear all
    i want to set the responsiblityname and operating unit name at the top of the page
    is there any specific regions are there to set at the top level of the page(Image region)
    Regards
    Sreekanth

    FND Framework Compataibiity Mode is a Profile Option you can set the value as 11.5.10.
    And instead of creating product branding progrmatically create product branding and incontextbranding at design time.
    Also, for both of these items we have View Object and View Instance properties...
    For this you take two transient attributes in VO and then as you have grabbed the responsibility name and operating unit...
    then you can set these values on these Transient attributes and then they will be visible on Top region of page.
    Associate these transient Attributes on product branding and incontextbranding items.
    Thanks,

  • 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,

    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.

    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 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.

  • How to set the bind variable on page load and execute query ?

    Hi All,
    I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
    I have a table called "Employee"
    Columns :- id , name , location
    Data :- 1, ,james , chicago
    2 ,Raj ,capetown
    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 ??
    Please suggest !!!!
    Thanks.

  • How to set the show properties as  a default in KM

    Hello All,
    I am trying to upload the documents in KM repository using File-> Upload. If I click this Upload button, it will open a new window, it will show (show properties) this properties. But I want this one as default. Can any one help to set the (show properties) as a default? 
    Thanks in  Advance.

    Hi Gowsika,
    I'm sorry, but you seem not to get my explanation.
    First, there is no such "switch" for "Show Properties" or "Hide Properties", and there is also not Resource Type "Show Properties". It is hardcoded in the UICommand "upload" (so in the Screenflow implemented by com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIUploadCommand), that if the ResourceType "normalrt" (http://sap.com/xmlns/cm/framework/normal-resource-type) displayed "Normal Document" is selected, you will see the "Show Properties" link. Only by changing the implementation of this UICommand you could change this behavior, but it's not recommended because you have to make sure on upgrades that you don't overwrite it again.
    So again my suggestion:
    1. Go to KM->CM->Configuration->CM->Global Services->Resource Types
    2. Duplicate the Resouce Type "normalrt" changing:
      Name: my_normalrt
      Resource Type ID: http://sap.com/xmlns/cm/framework/my-normal-resource-type
    3. Go to KM->CM->Configuration->CM->Global Services->Property Structures->Property Structures
    4. Duplicate "DefaultPropertiesStructure" changing:
      Name: My_DefaultPropertiesStructure
      Resource Types: http://sap.com/xmlns/cm/framework/my-normal-resource-type
      Structure Items: "Input_here_your_properties_and_property_groups"
    BTW: If you want to have the same properties as in DefaultPropertiesStructure you might be obligated to remove some of them from the original Property Structure.
    5. Go to KM->CM->Configuration->CM->User Interface->Commands->UI Commands
    6. Duplicate "new_file" changing:
      Alias: my_upload
      Parameters: ResourceType=http://sap.com/xmlns/cm/framework/my-normal-resource-type,standalone=true
    7. Go to KM->CM->Configuration->CM->User Interface->Commands->UI Command Groups
    8. Edit AdminNewResourceGroup by renaming upload to my_upload in the "Commmand List" parameter.
    BTW: It's advisable to duplicate the whole Command Group and use it in your Layout Set and not to change the standard configuration, but I will not describe the whole process here
    9. Now go to KM Content and use the menu Folder->New...->Upload
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9?

    How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9 in Adobe PE12?

    PulcinellaNM
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so. That is all background information for now.
    As for the question that you are posting....
    I think we need to go a lot deeper into what you are doing. Here are some considerations
    The aspect ratio setting is in the import settings. In Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, the project automatically sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If your video's properties include a 16:9 flag, then the project settings will have a 16:9 flag (aspect ratio). If you do not want the project to set the project settings automatically, you can set the project settings yourself manually with File Menu/New/Project and then import your source video.
    If a problem exists where imported 16:9 video is presenting in Premiere Elements as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (typical of the JVC .mod file issue), then you can set the pixel aspect ratio under Interpret Footage feature inside the project workspace.
    At this point, I think it best for you to give more details and background behind your question so that we can be sure that we are giving you the information that you need to succeed in your projects.
    If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
    Thank you.

  • In EIC, how can we set the SLA of a subcategory to none SLA-related.

    Hi Experts,
    This is our current setup in EIC...
    Category 0501 has an SLA of 8 hours. Subcategory 050101 has to be none SLA relevant. But if we put zero or blank to the SLA Target Value field, it will automatically have a due date defaulted to today. If we will not indicate 050101 on the configuration, it will have the 0501 SLA of 8 hours.
    How can we set the 050101 SLA off?
    The path: IMG --> Personnel Management --> Employee Interaction Center (EIC) --> Interaction Center Web-Client --> Application Functions --> Activity --> Service Level Agreement (SLA) --> Define SLV Properties
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Harish and Jarret.
    @Harish, I already tried unchecking the checkbox of the Display field but the problem with this is, it will also apply for the rest of the categories. It should only be for this specific subcategory.
    @Jarret, apology, but can you explain to me further about your instruction/advise? I get the feeling that we're on to something with your advise but I didn't quite get it on how to exactly.
    1. You should build the SLA from the lowest level up...
                        -I'm not really sure how, actually.
    2. If you have 8 subcats... will put the 8 entries in the table...
                        -where do I put the 1 subcat? This is because if I don't put that "No SLA" subcat in the table, the due date of that specific subcat will automatically appear todayu2019s date.
    Thanks for both of you. I really appreciate your help.
