How do you create an Index in Pages?

Hi all,
I can see how you can create Headings but I can't see how you create an Index! Surely the point of creating Headings is so they can be referenced by an index, so if anyone's got any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them
ciao

Thanks Muhammad. As you say, this is okay for a table of contents, but not for an index.
The only option seems to be to create one 'manually'. I have found two suggestions to use a search to assist with this:
• one using find: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com.au/2008/01/how-do-i-create-index-in-pages.html
• another using Applescript: http://superuser.com/questions/84580/making-an-index-in-apple-iwork-pages
Perhaps this will be one of the pieces of functionality, along with other things like easily merging to labels, that will be added to the next version of Pages (please Apple)?

How do you create an index in Pages 08?

Can you create an word index at the end of a research document in Pages 08? I've done this using Microsoft Word, but I can't find the function in Pages.
I'm brand new to the Mac world, btw.

This function is not available in Pages 08.
There may be a third-party application that can do this.
Good luck,
Terry
You might want to give Apple some feedback on this feature using the 'Provide Pages Feedback' option in the Pages menu.

How do you create hanging indents in Pages?

How do you create hanging indents in Pages?

Look at the left hand margin indicator -
Compare it to the right-hand one. You'll note that it is actually two stops, instead of just one - a small bar on top of a triangle.
Split them by careful dragging, and you can get what you want -
You may need to do a bit of fiddling until you get it just the way you want it.

If you are asking about Pages 09 on your desktop, you can download a copy of the user guide under the Help Menu, and the Pages 09 forum is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1302
(this one is for the ipad version, which is different in a lot of ways)
From the Pages 09 help files:
+To set paper size and orientation:+
+Choose File > Page Setup.+
+In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” pop-up menu.+
+Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.+
+If you want to set a custom paper size, choose Manage Custom Sizes from the pop-up menu. Otherwise, go to step 7.+
+Click the Add button, and then enter values in the Page Size fields.+
+Either choose your printer’s default margins from the pop-up menu, or enter your own values for margins in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom fields.+
+If you want to change the custom size’s name, double-click the name in the list and enter a new name.+
+Click OK.+
+Choose the new paper size you named from the Paper Size pop-up menu, and then click OK.+
+Select an orientation option using one of the buttons at the bottom of the Page Setup dialog.+
+To make an image larger or smaller to fill more or less of the paper, type a percentage value into the Scale field, and then click OK.+
+A value less than 100% makes the image smaller; a value greater than 100% makes the image larger.+

Newb question: How do you create a new wiki page?

I've found out how to make Belkin F6 series USB wireless dongles work in Arch. A wiki page would be of much help for people with these devices!
I've written it out in the forums already:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 10#p800110
But a more detailed page that works for similar devices would be of great benefit to some Archers.

haha sorry. I actually did search the wiki and the forums for "new page" but it didn't occur to me to try "create page" or "creating a page". That's late-night creativity at it's finest.

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09?

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09? I can zoom in or out, but I can't figure out how to make a photo smaller. Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout? I'd like to work with maximum flexibility, like starting from the blank template in iWeb, where I can add any number of photos, text, and change all the sizes. Is this possible? Thanks.

You resize the photo by clicking on it and zooming
You can not resize the photo frame
Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout?
No they all work the same - see Liz Castro's page - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/ - for a detailed description of iPhoto '08 layouts - all of those carry forward to iPhoto '09 plus there are new ones that she has not documented yet

Not in iWeb but you can do pages in any page layout program (word, pagemaker, pages, etc) and print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a totally custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - for directions

In LiveCycle Designer ES4 how do you remove tabs within a page once they have been created?

Emma,
Take a look at the troubleshooting tips on this page from the Infosemantics website:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/drag-and-drop/troubleshooting-widg et-issues
Pay particular attention to the section entitled: "My drag and drop question works correctly sometimes, but not other times. "
From the appearance of your slide, it looks like you may have removed some of the components from the quiz slide that are necessary for it to function correctly. Try the test that this section of the troubleshooting suggests so that you can see if this is the case. If it turns out that you have deleted some items, you'll need to recreate your quiz slide to get them back again.
Hope this helps.

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
Thanks.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc?

How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc. I would like the movie to play on any DVD player.

Do you want the pdf available to view or just for copying from the disk to a computer for viewing.
To view a PDF you can do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto which will create a jpg of each page of the pdf and save it to iPhoto. From there you can send the PDF jpegs to iDVD to make a slideshow of the pages. It's the same principle as used in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
If you don't have the Safe to iPhoto workflow in your HD/Library/PDF Services folder you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

Hi
As my topic says
How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
Al

Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
show with Photoshop Elements 8?
In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
select the crop tool.
Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
create a banner.
Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
the original.
Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
the slideshow editor.
