How do you number each line in pages?

I would like to number each line I a document t I am writing how is it done in pages

Pages has no numbering facility as such. The work arounds are extremely clumsy.
Try iText Pro and LibreOffice instead.

  • How do you draw connecting lines in Pages?

    I'm trying to draw an exercise: connect the nine dots. I can get the dots—but can't connect them!!
    Any ideas?? (I know HOW to connect them, but can't get the lines.)
    Thanks

    I used the line tool, but can't make it work!!
    Clicking the line tool at the bottom of the Shapes button menu brings up the grey box shown above.
    Following those instructions to draw the three connected line segments shown:
    Place the mouse pointer (pen nib) at point 1. Click (and release).
    Move the pointer to point 2. Click (and release).
    Move the pointer to point 3. Click (and release).
    Move the pointer to point 4. Click (and release).
    Press the esc(ape) key.
    Done.
    My guess is that you either missed the 'and release' part or the 'press escape to finish' part.

  • How do you specify a line number with getline() (c++)

    How do you specify which line for getline() to read with c++ similiar to how awk uses $1, $2, $3 , etc etc...
    Example:(Ignore the underscores)
    Line1 Line2
    10____10
    20____20
    30____30
    40____40
    if I were making a program to remove 10 on the first line and 20 on the second line how would I tell getline which line to read
    Example source code:
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    string line;
    string line2;
    ifstream in("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/infile.txt");
    ofstream out("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/outfile.txt");
    while( getline(in,line) )
    if(line != "10")
    out << line << endl;
    while (getline(in,line2) )
    if(line2 != "20")
    out << line2 << endl;
    in.close();
    out.close();
    remove("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/infile.txt");
    rename("/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/outfile.txt","/Users/lundquisted/Desktop/inf ile.txt");
    return 0;
    }

    store the output of a system() command within a c++ program to a string and/or variable
    A number of apps call Unix utilities and capture both stdout and stderr, typically for viewing in a log window, but for other uses as well. Xcode, for example, starts up gcc and does various things with the text that gcc might otherwise print in a Terminal window. Most apps that rely on Unix commands that way don't use "system()", which is a rather crude way of launching utilities that leaves the parent program with very little control. Usually, the best way to manage helper utils from a Cocoa app is by using NSTask and NSPipe. If you spend some time with the two following pages, you'll learn how to do almost anything you want with command line utils from inside a Cocoa app:
    [http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000025.php]
    [http://macosx.com/forums/archive/t-3927.html]
    The first link goes to a great tutorial on using NSTask. Capturing stdout and stderr are only covered briefly towards the end, however. Note the last comment explaining why "system()" is a bad idea.
    The second link goes to a forum thread. Scroll down to the code posted by "blb" for some very clear examples of launching with NSTask and reading the output with NSPipe.
    If you really want to use a shell command, you could give NSTask a command like ' +bash -c "ls -lt | grep drwx"+ ' (see how setArguments: is used in the tutorial).
    If you just want to do something cheap and dirty with "system()" so you can see some awk output while you're learning how to do things the right way, I guess you could do something like this:
    system(" cat ~/random.txt | awk '{print $2}' > MyFile.txt");
    NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:@"MyFile.txt"
    encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    Of course you can just read MyFile.txt into cin if you're not using Cocoa.

  • How to give no of lines per page in alv report

    hi
    could anybody tell me
    how to give no of lines per page in alv report
    i need bottom of page too
    if possible plz send the code too
    it ll be very helpful to me
    thanx
    kals.

    Hi,
    This is possible, using some of the events in the ALV.
    You could use AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT event and call you form after say, a certain line count is reached on the list output.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-name.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-form.
      APPEND gw_event TO gt_events.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
           EXPORTING
                it_events                = gt_events[]
    and define the form for each event as follows - this would be a dynamic call by the ALV.
    *&      Form  after_line_output
    *       Form for the After Line Output Event in the internal table
    *      --> rs_lineinfo
    FORM after_line_output USING rs_lineinfo TYPE slis_lineinfo.
      IF sy-linno eq v_linno.          "Defaulted value for line count
        perform write_footer.
        NEW-PAGE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.                    " after_line_output
    For lines per page:
    rs_lineinfo-tabindex would give you the index of the current line in the list, which you could use to read the t_outtab table, and reduce the line count of items displayed on the earlier page.
    There are a few other events too, like BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT and END_OF_LIST which you can use as required and print the data.

  • How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

    How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
    Good afternoon everyone...
    THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
    HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
    If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
    A……………………… B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
    A……………………………………………………B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYY
    And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
    A………………………. B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
    A………………… …B…
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    ………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
    My SPECIFIC CASE
    I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
    My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
    Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
    The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
    On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
    On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
    On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
    The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
    All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
    The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
    Can the line be made to WRAP????..
    In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
    1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
    2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
    But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
    I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
    I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
    We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
    Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
    Tony Calabrese.

    Steve,
    you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
    This thing is SO frustrating!
    Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
    I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
    So it looks like:
    &col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
    And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
    And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
    The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
    So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
    ...................................ppppp
    AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
    So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
    I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
    Have you ever come across anything like this?
    Thankyou again,
    Tony Calabrese 12/4/2007

  • How do you type multiple lines on a path? (label for top slope of bottle)

    Ill describe the best I can...
    I am making a label that will wrap around the top half of a bottle, the part that slopes to the spout.  Because of this, the label is actually shaped more like an arch so when it goes onto the bottle, it will look more straight.  The top part of the label of course will be a tighter arch than the bottom half.  This is part of why its hard to make things look right.  I know I can bend a line at the same angle and type on it and it looks right but I have a paragragh I have to do this with, about 5 lines worth.  I dont want to have to make a different path line for each one because that would be a nightmare to get each line perfect with each other.  Is there a way to do the "type on a path" to work with multiple lines at once?

    Scott Falkner wrote:
    You can't. Each line of text requires an explicit path. You could draw the top line and the bottom line, then make a three-step blend between the two. Expand the blend then link the paths so that text from path 1 flows to path 2, and so on. In the example below each path is linked to the one below. I only needed to paste text into the top path. I was able to link to each following path by clicking on the red + at the end of the previous path, then clicking on the path below.
    You could also design the label flat and use a distortion envelope or Warp effect to bend it. This is how I have done such labels in the past. That method requires more experimentation, but makes edits easier.
    That seems to be something that might work out.  How do you separate each of the strokes from the blend to make them typable though?

  • I want to number each line on my spreadsheet

    I'm trying to number each line on a spreadsheet, I thought I could put in a formula and copy down the column but that's not working. What am I doing wrong?
    thank you,
    Jackie

    Hi Jackie,
    One formula is
    =ROW()
    Another formula is (say you have typed 1 into A1) then in A2
    =A1+1
    and Fill Down.
    Another way is to type the numbers of the first two rows, select both cells and drag the Fill Handle down. This won't work if you are trying to Fill Down from a Header Row. It works with Body Rows.

  • 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.

    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.
    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
    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?
    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

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

    How do you delete a document in Pages? I keep trying to and it's still there...very annoying. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Where have you saved the document, or are you talking about a template?
    You do not delete any documents inside Pages. You must locate them in Finder (probably in the Documents folder) and then drag them to the Trash.
    If you need basic help with using a Mac, Apple has helpful videos and tips in their Support section of their website.

  • 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.
