How to activate pages(+) tool in toolbar

I am in a document, with the pages drawer open; I need to add new pages to my document, but the pages(+) tool in the toolbar remains dimmed, and I have not yet found any way of making it active. All the other tools are active or can be activated. Since I have not seen this problem mentioned in the forum, I must be missing a simple trick, I wonder what it is?
Alternatively is there a way round the problem?

JBod,
welcome to the Discussions.
Which template do you use? I guess it's some kind of self-defined template, maybe based on the Blank template.
You can add template pages, thus activating the icon, this way:
* Mark one page in the Thumbnail drawer.
* Choose Format/Advanced/Capture Pages…
Pages will ask you if you for a name for the template pages and offer to choose all pages or only the first page, the first two or the first three pages of your section (if they exist).
However, you should only do this with a file that you want to use as a template for other documents. Capturing pages in an ordinary document is (in my opinion) a waste of time.
To add a new page, follow either Dennis' advice or just keep on typing your text. Pages will then add a new page which is treated together with its predecessor as a so-called logical page. Pages will draw a yellow frame around a logical page when you mark it in the Page Thumbnails drawer.
If this information is useful to you, please mark it as "helpful" or "solved" using the little buttons in the titlebar of this message. Thank you.

  • How to activate Pages demo

    I just purchased iWorks from Apple Store online, and received my receipt, but would like to begin using Pages immediately (rather than waiting for the package to arrive in the mail). How does one request the activation key?

    Here is an enhanced version of my uninstall iWork '09 script.
    I discovered five files which I missed in the original version.

  • In Safari why dont I have icon in toolbar that shows how many open pages I have?

    Apparently when using Safari on the iPad there should be a little icon in the toolbar that looks like a rectangle and has various numbers in it. Apparently this shows how many open pages you have. When you tap on that icon, you are shown a page with thumbnails of the pages you have open. Unfortunately my husband's iPad does not have that tooblar icon. I cant seem to find any answers on the internet, from friends, from the IT people at work, the local people who sell iPads. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    That was the case in iOS 4, but its not the same in iOS 5. Apple moved to a tab-based interface for the iPad in iOS 5. The old thumbnail view is no longer included.
    Regards.

  • How do I activate AUTOMATIC superscripting for numbers / dates; e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc .... It used to do this in all PRE-5.0 versions of Pages; now, it is GONE from Pages 5.0, and I cannot find out where / how to activate it !!

    Whilst I appreciate your responding - I do not think this helps with what I was enquiring (at least not without further explanations anyways).
    I am aware of, and do use, the function - System Preferences > Keyboard > Text - for various replacements like (tm), (c), etc .... and also for fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/3.
    However, my question was in relation to SUPERSCRIPTS for dates / numbers - namely, superscripting numerical suffixes for things like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
    So - please help - HOW do I set this up ? If indeed it is possible without System Preferences > Keyboard > Text ???

  • How to activate video calling from account page?

    On a new computer Windows 8.1  can sign into my Skype for Desktop Account using skype name and password. Also have same email address as before.  Account page comes up but dont know how to activate Skype so I can video call.  Tried to instal Skype & got as far as Save Skype to File box, clicked on this, then was expecting to see Run Installer but nothing happened. Was previously using Windows XP. Have the original Skype download filed. Plus several more where I have been attempting to resolve this problem. Am all ´skyped up´ but cannot use it !!
    Absolutely desperate have been trying to remedy this for ages. can anyone help please. Thanks Deborah
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, if it hasn't successfully installed yet, then you won't be able to uninstall it.  So with that in mind, if you are able to uninstall it then that would explain why you can't install it again.  The program won't let you install it if it's already been installed.  So if you'd like to try again you can uninstall it and reinstall from one of the files you downloaded.
    So, the first step would be to see if it is currently installed.  To do this, right click the Start button in the bottom right corner while in Windows desktop.  You will see a context menu pop up.  From there, choose Control Panel, and within Control Panel choose Uninstall a program.  You will see a list of currently installed programs.
    If you see Skype in the list, uninstall it.  If you don't, then don't worry about it - it's not installed.  Now try to install it again.
    With regard to User Account Control, don't worry about that at all.  It is safe to click Yes, and once you do that should initiate the installation process.  User Account Control (UAC) is a warning that something want approval from a computer administrator, which gives it access to parts of the computer it would not have otherwise.  You probably don't want to give administrator access to programs you do not trust, but Skype is made by Microsoft so there is nothing to worry about.
    Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
    P.S. You said the Skype installation file came from your XP computer - that may be a problem in itself.  When you download Skype from the website there is a pretty good chance that it checks the version of your operating system before downloading, meaning that if you downloaded it on a Windows XP computer you may have downloaded a Windows XP version that will not work on Windows 8.1.  So, if you are using a file you downloaded from that computer, just download it again from the new one.  You can use the link I put in the first post.

    There is no brightness toolbar unless your iPhone is jailbroken.  If so, you can try to restore to remove the JB.
    The only place brightness exists is under Settings.

    When I play an iMovie at full screen, how can I remove the bottom toolbar?  It shows up on the projector screen and I don't want my audience to see those tools at the bottom quarter of the screen.

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.

    ? how to add page numbers in pages 5.2, starting with page 2.  Pages '09 had an option to not show folio on page one.  Also any idea how to do left and right folios for a Tabloid?  Many thanks  . . .

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

  • How to activate Events Calendar Sample Application's Weekly and Daily View?

    Does anyone know how to activate the Weekly and Daily View for the sample calendar application called "Events?" I am trying to generate, or incorporate, a calendar application based upon the sample application provided by Oracle. I have installed the sample application but I am unable to view the calendar in daily or weekly formats. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in-advance.

    Hi,
    If the calendar was set up to only use the Monthly view, then you will be missing a number of items on your page.
    The simplest thing to do would be to create a new calendar page in your copy of your sample app and then identify those items that are missing from your original page. These should be Monthly/Weekly/Daily buttons, Adjust Calendar Date - Monthly/Weekly/Daily processes and a hidden Pnn_CALENDAR_TYPE page item that holds the currently displayed type.

    I have an issue with FF. Whenever I have my mouse on the page (not the toolbar area) any selection I make gets altered in the following way:-
    Text boxes - The cursor keeps moving to the left.
    "Radio" buttons - Selection keeps moving up.
    This is only happening in FF, I am not seeing this behaviour in Chrome or IE.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
