How do you make the top margin .5" on page 1 and 1.0" on all of the following pages?

I have been a PC user since 1987 and find the iWorks programs far less intuitive than the MS Office products.  I have been using a Word doc template, which I customized back in 1990, and all of my client records use this template.  So, as I am converting to Apple, I need to find a way to adapt the iWorks Pages to accomodate my doc needs, if that is possible.  As indicated in the question, I need to set the top margin on page 1 to .5" and, using either a section break or a page break, enable the top margin to be 1.0" on all of the following pages.  I read somewhere on the net that this might be accomplished by using a layout break but, when I tried that, the margins on all pages seemed to still be connected to each other.  Is there a way to accomplish my objective?

Okay, narrow is narrow.  Just need to make sure we're clear on the point that we're discussing the top and bottom margins. 
I just found another post that led me to "Defining Layout Margins" in the Pages help files.  Between that post and the information in this help message (specifically item #4), I was able to deduce that Pages does enable me to do exactly what I need.
1 - set the page margins on page one;
2 - create a layout break at the bottom of page 1, which will effect the next page;
3 - with the cursor on page 2, open the inspector;
4 - go to the layout inspector;
5 - change the "before" margin.
In the layout inspector dialog box, "before" = "top" and "after" = "bottom", not as in paragraph or line formatting.  I don't know why it couldn't just say top and bottom.  That would eliminate a lot of confusion.
This has enabled me to have one top margin on the first page and a different top margin on all other pages. However, as nothing is perfect, this process must be repeated on each page.  A little more work but definitely worth the effort, if you need this type of formatting.  Better than not at all in other words.
Thanks for your time and help.

    how do you make room on your start up disk.  i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space

    Try this:
    1. Open "Finder", then navigate to "Movies" on the left side. Click on "iMovie Projects"
    2. Move desired movies and clips to trash, or your flash drive.
    *PS* Its dangerous to have a full hard drive, I would recommend either trashing, or transferring files to another computer. Trash applications you no longer use as well.

  • How do you make multi day events show as such in iCal? It only shows the first day of the event in the monthly overview.

    I'd like to be able to view these events from the monthly and yearly overviews.

    I have this same problem with my iPad and iPhone. I don't want all of my events to be set as all-day events, as some have different start or finish times. Why (Apple) do you think that when we set an event that spans over midnight, but does not last all day, we don't want to see it when we check our month view or list view??
    Come on Apple. We want to see all our events, shown on every day that they feature. You must be causing some people real problems when they glance at their month view and end up double booking an appointment because it doesn't show.

  • How do you make a jumpt to URL with RRI and multiple values (RSBBS)

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I would like for a user to run a query on my sap portal. Put in a few restrictions, that could be multiples, example ZipCode 33333,45852,15454, CustomerAccounts = 'X', BusinessType = 'Y' etc etc...
    When I use the RRI with a URL link it only sends one value per parameter at a time example
    mybsppage.sample.htm?zip=33333%CustAcc=X&BusType=Y.
    My problem is that I need all three Zipcodes, not just one. Has anyone found away to send values to BSP pages or anyother url, using a form post anything... Help...

    You are correct in understanding that
    OWSM Templates cannot be modified after its created.
    You cannot change policy at one place and have it applied to all the services.
    You can however use the template and create policiies and if you want to change any values for a particular service, you can do that.
    Templates are more for combining individual steps into one template so that you can apply that to request or response pipeline and then add ore modify steps.
    Since there is no default way to apply policy to many services, One work around i can think of is to look into content routing.
    Thanks

    I see that you added this information manually via the clipboard.
    You appear to have installed quite an impressive amount of extensions, both enabled and disable extensions, and that could be a possible cause or there are otherwise problems with gathering this information.

  • How do you make XML tags display differenty than content?

    I am using Structured FM for the first time (prior experience is Epic Editor) and I am using it with SiberSafe.  I cannot locate anywhere in Help or on the toolbar a feature that enables me to "turn on/off" tags from displaying.  What I see is all text, with no font/color differentiation for the tags.  Does FM 9 enable users to do this?  And if so, how do I do this?  Thanks!!

    What I mean, what I am looking to do in Adobe is discern actual content from tags, as displayed on the screen.  Currently in FrameMaker, and unlike Epic Editor, all of the tags and content appear the same - same font type, same font color.  This makes it harder to read and differentiate between the tags (even though they are in brackets) and content which slows down my progress.  If I could make all tags a different color, that would help tremendously.

    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • How can I make a top layer "transparent" to the end-user?

    Hi guys,
    Got a quick question.
    I'm working on a custom card builder and was wondering if there was any way I could keep an uploaded image editable to the end user. The end-user will be able to choose what template they'd like to frame the image with. The problem is, even with transparency that chosen frame acts as a layer, and once the uploaded image has been placed onto the staging area, the end-user loosing the ability to edit/scale/skew that image. I'd like them to be able to still do that even with the template above their image.
    Can anybody think of a solution to this? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

    You'd literally need to chop each frame up. To keep things reasonable to update you can use Photoshop to slice the graphics, saving them to external PNGs to import in. If a frame has 4 edges, you cut out the 4 sides, import into Flash and reassemble them inside a single Sprite or MovieClip. Any area inside that sprite that has no actual objects will be true transparency and won't invoke a click action.
    Keep in mind, hitboxes are rectangular. If you have an oval frame where the edges require you to create bitmaps with transparency on their edges, that will be clickable. If you don't immediately understand what I mean by that just draw a circle in flash, convert to clip. Now draw your cursor around what you consider the 'top' portion of that frame and notice how much of the inner fill you also capture at the same time. That will all be clickable. So the user may "see" their picture behind the frame but when they click they accidentally get the frame instead.
    Picture worth a thousand words (random net image):
    If you cut this oval frame into 4 pieces (this being the top obviously), the transparent area you see in the frame will need to be part of the hitarea for the frame. That can be just as confusing to customers in this situation. If most of your frames have little to no transparency (very squared up) then it won't be a problem. Although just like the problem you're having now, any bitmap transparency WILL be clickable even if you cut the sides up. The center where there is no bitmap can be clicked through to mess with the picture behind the frame.
    This sort of makes the transparency detection a bit more desirable.

  • How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

    How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

    There is some instability in  iMessage.  It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use. 
    I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone. 
    ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
    On the iPad 2, same thing.  Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
    On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage.  That fixed it.   Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
    I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
    If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it. 
    Why?  (beware, some of this is guesswork)
    iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network).  It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi.  If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message.  If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line.  If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up. 
    In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses.  That is where the problem happenes.  zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem.  Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem.  I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'. 
    To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8    Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen.  Now go run iMessage.  After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank.  Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

  • How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    If someone sends you an attachment, it's going to show up where they attached it in their message to you.
    Messages with attachments show a paper clip icon in two places, in the middle column of the Mail window, next to the senders name, and next to the sender's name at the top of the message itself.
    One way to make messages with attachments show more clearly is to create a Mail Rule, like this:
    By setting a colored background to the messages that contain attachments, they'll stand out pretty clearly in the message list.
    Note that there are several different types of attachments in the dropdown menu (where you see Document and PDF above). Keep pressing the plus sign to add different attachment types to your rule so that all will stand out on your list of messages.

  • How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

    How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

    Go to your contacts, find the contact that you wish to text, hit 'edit', and move that contact's numbers around until the mobile number is at the top. Arduous I know, but it works. Now when you go to text that person, the mobile number should be the default.
    Best.
