How do I use a scanner in Pages?

I am a new user of Mac and Pages. I have a Brother scanner MFC 8840D that is networked. I installed the TWAIN driver from their website and it mentions that I can use it with Microsoft Word. However, I'd like to see if I can use it in Pages...that is the only way I can get rid of Bill Gates.
Any help will be appreciated

I have a Brother scanner MFC 8840D that is networked. I installed the TWAIN driver from their website and it mentions that I can use it with Microsoft Word.
TWAIN is a third party application programming interface for colour capture hardware and colour correction software. However, TWAIN has had no ICC colour management support.
The operating system is colour managed from the ground up, and hence also Pages, iPhoto etc. For instance, a search for iPhoto and TWAIN on the Apple web shows no hits.
It may be that TWAIN has been upgraded or that other issues weigh in. Otherwise, for a scanner driver that works see SilverFast from LaserSoft Imaging in Kiel, Germany. (If memory serves, these are people who split out from the LinoColor development team.)
Best,
Henrik

I cannot begin to express my level of frustration. I have been trying to use the composition widget light box display for some time now. I drag the widget to my document. The default widget has three small trigger boxes and a large area made up of a forward and backward button, a background, a text box and a frame for your image.
My steps have been …
I click on the little trigger box.
I click on the frame that holds the main image.
I go to the fill menu and browse my computer for my image and then click OK.
IT shows up on my screen. Yay
I attempt to continue using the next two trigger boxes provided in the widget.
After that, I add more by clicking on the little plus sign.
This is where all heck breaks loose.
Every single time I attempt to add thumbnails, something messes up. When I go to preview, either not all of my main images show up, or it starts with the wrong one, or some are missing. I have looked and looked for help on this and the only thing I can find is how easy it is to create a great portfolio lightbox display. But as we know, that only works when your thumbnails are the same image as the images in your lightbox. If you want something different, you have to use the composition wizard. I am finding it extremely difficult and confusing to customize.
Is there an exact sequence you need to use to add images to the slideshow? I am my wits end.

How can we use this Windows Genuine page ?

How can we use this page after the Firefox developers remove the "Enable Java" option?
Now I've downloaded this tool to check whether the Windows Genuine or not! But kept get the error message while installing the application!

The javascript option is NOT disabled by developers.
*Maybe this helpful explanatory article is worth reading http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
Maybe it helps if you give the links to the tool and pages you are talking about, along with a screenshot of any error messages.

How can I use a scanner connected to my old PC?

Hi!
Aside from my iMac, I have a PC to which a printer is attached. I used system preferences to connect to that printer (it worked just fine), and now when I click "print" on the mac, the printer starst printing (as long as the PC is on).
Now, I would like to do the same thing with a scanner, also connected to the PC. How do I do it? (I confess I forgot exactly what I did to connect the printer, as this would probably help.... hehehe.. but I remember typing the name of the PC workgroup and it's IP address somewhere.)
The scanner is an HP 2400 and USB.
Thanks a lot for the help!

How do I do it?
You would have to contact the manufacturer of the scanner to see if their software allows for sharing the scanner, as Mac OS X has no built in support for that.

How can I use metric units in Page Setup dialog box?

When I go to my Page Setup dialog box, in Margins tabs, I see that I can specify the margins in inches. However, in my friends PCs, I have seen Page Setup dialog boxes that use millimeters for handling margins.
How can I make my version of Firefox to use millimeters instead of inches? Using this obscure unit is inconvenient for me. I prefer to use the internationally-accepted metric unit.

I can't find documentation about the settings, so you'll need to experiment a bit. I hope you're using A4 paper size instead if US- Letter, because I suspect that you will find out that the length of the paper won't be able to be set to Letter if you use the metric size unit setting.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref name = print.printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_size_unit 
and maybe 
print.printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_size_type 
Try setting the '''Value''' to '''1'''
There's a support thread about metric settings here.

How do I use the Scanner class to read in sentence as 1 string?

From my code:
Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
String message="";
System.out.println("Enter message: ");//get message to transmit
message=scan.next();
System.out.println("Message: " + message + " will be used for the simulation");I would like to store the user input as 1 string in the variable message; even if the user enters an entire sentence with whitespace. However, using next() does not do this (I believe it auto delimits at white space) and using nextLine() does not let the user even enter text. The command line looks like this:
Enter message:
Message: will be used for the simulation
I tried fiddling around with setting the delimit but the program would then hang after the user typed something. I'm assuming there's a simple way to do this that I'm missing.
This is part of a larger program which expects String message to be one string with all the user input. Thanks.

Maybe you are confusing things somewhere but your code runs fine replacing next() with nextLine()
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String message="";
System.out.println("Enter message: ");//get message to transmit
message=scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("Message: " + message + " will be used for the simulation");Mel

How can I use a different web page in the tabs

I'm getting this bing thing and I cant remove it and change it. Ive tried going to "about:config" and changing the browser url and keyword.URL but it wont change.. Very unhappy and thinking its time for a change.

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. It is quick to change, even though it takes a long time to explain it.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Two gotchas:
* If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page: orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
* If the change works but at the next startup is back to Google, you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

How can I use documents created in Pages 08 with the most current version of pages?

I just upgraded to the most current version of Pages from Pages 08. However, none of my files created with Pages 08 will open. I am told that I first need to save them with Pages 09, but I don't have Pages 09. What can I do to convert these files into a format that works with the newest Pages?

I have the same problem. There are a couple of clumsy workarounds. One is to open your file with Pages 08 and export it as a Word document, then import it into Pages 5. The second one is to open the file in Pages 08, copy the contents to the clipboard and paste it into Pages 5.

How do i use Connection pool in JSP pages

Hey everyone,
I am using a connection pool in my web application. I am using DbConnectionBroker from Javaexchange.com. It has a class that creates a connection pool available for the servlets. I am trying to figure out that how to use connection pool within the JSP pages if I want to connect to the database. In the servlets i am using DBConnectionBroker pool = (DbConnectionBroker) getServletContext().getAttribute("dbPool") to get database connection. How Can i use this in JSP page to get a db connection.
Thanks

If the reference to the connection pool is already stored as an ServletContex attribute, try:
<jsp:useBean id="dbPool" scope="application" class="com.javaexchange.dbConnectionBroker" />
<%
Connection con = dbPool.getConnection();
%>

How can I use fonts found in iDVD 08 in other programs?

I created a DVD using 6.0 Themes, Pass Through in particular, by exporting a slideshow movie from iMovie 06 and it looks great. Thank you's to forum members for the help I needed to resolve issues. Deleting the plist files and burning at 2 times speed did the trick to problems I encountered. But here's one I've been spending lots of time on: I used the font, Humana Serif Md ITC TT, on the DVD and I would like to use it on the printed cover, however, I can't access it from any other program. I've used Spotlight to no avail and it does not present itself on the list of available fonts on any other program I have. How can I use that font in Pages to use on my printed DVD cover?

Kool! I just learned something new myself. (thanx Niel)
It's essential that you do exactly as stated above while holding down the option key in the instructions that were kindly provided above. The option key serves to copy these files to an alternate location if I'm not mistaken. Holding down any other key but Option may have an unintended effect on the application itself.
So please do exercise caution while working within the Resources folder / showing package contents.

Using a scanner

Trying to use a scanner with Pages...
Have not found a way to activate the scanner to insert material...

Assuming you refer to a Mac, scanners do not in themselves produce text, they produce
images of text, etc. Many come with software that will do Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and
produce some form of text file, such as .rtf. Pages could open that, but be aware that extensive
proofreading may be necessary. They don't read as well as we do!
If you don't care about editability, your scanner software can probably produce a .PDF consisting
of the images of the pages, which should be good enough for a human to read.
Notice all this relies on the scanner software. I see no sign that Pages would try to do OCR.

I have a Lexmark multi function printer with a scanner it in. I downloaded the installer icon from the website which said it was compatible with OSX 10.3 or later. When the installer showed up on my desktop I clicked it open and then a picture of the printer went into my applications folder. So when I want to use the scanner I go to the Application folder, click on Macintosh HD and then scroll to applications on left hand side. Then I find my printer button which has a little Lexmark icon image and click on it and it opens right up and offers me an option to scan or copy.
Hope this helps you out,

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.
