How to float a picture over several pages....?

I am brand new to Adobe InDesign but I am using it to create a newsletter. I have a jpeg that I was hoping to use as a subtle background for my whole newsletter which will end up being 4 or 5 (non-facing) pages. So far I have not seen a way to do this. It looks really easy to do with a text box where I see a "+" sign at the bottom of the page that I can simply click on and continue the text on the next page. I'm hoping there is something as simple as this to extend a graphic file from one page to the next.....please help!
Also, When I am done I will need to copy and paste this into an email so I am curious how I should go about exporting my file once it is complete. Thank you for your help!!

I get the sense that you want different portions of a very large image to be on different pages. If that's the case, putting it on the master page will not work. Images on the master page will appear identically on all pages to which that master is applied.
To have a different part of the image on each page, the easiest method is to place the image across pages making up a spread. You can assemble non-facing pages into what "looks like" a spread on your screen by opeing the Pages panel flyout menu and unchecking Allow Document Pages to Shuffle (this will keep all pages from shuffling, or you can select individual pages and uncheck Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle). Once shuffling is turned off, you can drag the page thumbnails in the panel and stick up to ten pages together horizontally edge to edge.
Regardless of how pages are arranged in the panel, they remain individual pages until output, and will only be combined at that point if you export to interactive PDF or specify "Spreads" in the PDF (Print) or Print dialogs. There is a script floating around the forum that will toggle OFF spreads for export to PDF(Interactive) as there is no option in the interface to do that.
The second part of your question is more difficult. There is no way to copy from InDesign and paste into an email and get anything that resembles the ID layout. You can export to HTML from ID, but that is essentially raw code that will require further processing to create a finished layout in HTML. You could export to PDF and add that to an email as an attachment, or put it on a server and include a link in the email, but if you want to have the newsletter itself be the layout, ID is NOT the program to use for building it. An easier solution would be something like MailChimp or ConstantContact.

How to generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??

How can I generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??
e.g. Page1 1-35
Page2 36-...

Hi Labrat,
My suggestion would be to create a Template in the Page Layout mode. This template would have a 1-column Table to present the line numbers and a Text Box for the Body Text. If you want the Line Numbers to stay in alignment with the Body Text, set the spacing for both to Exactly. Set the Table Cell Borders to None. The faint cell borders that you see in the following example are there because I am in View Layout mode. They will not show when printed.
For my example I have used Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to create a Pull-down +Page option for a Numbered Line Page. You can Capture as many versions of your numbered pages as you like to avoid having to modify the Line Numbers on successive pages.
Here's my example:

How do I break a large table over several pages?

I'm sure I used to be able to show a large table (more than one page long) over several pages. Now, when when the table grows to the bottom of the page the whole table is displayed on a new page. How do I get it to break so it shows partly on one page and partly on the next page?

Not sure how to add a comment to my own question...
I am working in Pages 5. I tried to break a table over more than one page in an existing document and just couldn't get it to work (still can't). I tried it in a new document and it worked, no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I had to export my original document to Word and then had to open it again in Pages. There must have been some corruption.
I'm happy again... only wish that I could live within the Mac world and not have to deal with the PC world. Sigh.

How can I create 2 columns that go over several pages? f.e. Contract with 2 languages.

I need to create 2 columns over several pages.
Target is a bilingual german/english contract.
All paragraphs side by side. Left side german right side english.
My problem is that if I use standard columns the text flows on the next column of the same page instead of same clumn on next page.
Example:
I do not like
EN     EN
EN     EN
EN     EN
EN     EN
I need.
EN     GER
EN     GER
EN
EN
EN
EN

EN
Can anyone help. Do I have to back to MicrosoftWord.
Please not. Thank you.

HI,
You could use two sets of linked text boxes, as I've done here.
The text layer of this document contains only a series of Page Breaks, necessary to create the pages on which the Text boxes are placed. The illustration shows parts of pages 1 and 2.
Create the series of text boxes that make up the left column, then Select All and Duplicate to create the second set.
I found alignment a bit of a hassle, and that alone might be enough to convince you to use MS Word (or the word processing module of one of the free Office applications) for this task.
You might also use the Provide Pages Feedback menu item in the Pages menu* to make a feature request to Apple.
Regards,
Barry

Can I build a test over several pages, and give instant pass/fail feedback.

I want to build a test over several pages. I would like to have buttons where you click on the answer, and at the end of the test show pass/fail and answers to failed questions. I also want to show the percentage to the test answers, such as 76% out of 100%. I would like to adjust the percentages depending on the amount of answers per questions. Let's say there are 7 questions for the test, a passing score would be 71%, if there are 5 questions, a passing score would be 80% and so forth.
I am sure there are many questions regarding this, feel free to ask any and I will answer as much as possible.
I have Keynote 09, Numbers 09 and Pages 09, I would prefer to work with Keynote and hopefully use the other two as needed.

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

Hi Steve,
I have the same problem with the text in Mail printing very narrow like what you described. Did you ever get a resolution to the problem?
It seems like it was never answered in the forum replies.

How to print large image across several pages?

After using Appleworks for years I finally got Pages 09. In AW I used to be able to use drawing app to print large (36 x 36) images over several pieces of paper, simply by adding pages to the document. I would then tape the pages together to form the large poster. I can't see anyway to do this in Pages. It won't let you print any larger than 11x17, nor let you add pages to a layout to print a large image. Anybody know how to do this, or did I just waste my money?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Yvan Koenig discovered with iWork '08 that you can span images across pages in a Numbers document as a substitute. Select & delete any tables & then treat the Numbers document as a draw document. You shouldn't need to add pages like in AppleWorks as Numbers adds them as needed to display all of the content.

Report Layout split over several pages

Hi,
I am trying to design a report which will print a three page application form. But I am unable to design the format of second and third page as in layout model we can design the format of single page. So, Plz advice me how can switch to second and third page while working in layout model?
Thanks in advance, Khawar

Extracted from Oracle Reports Help:
"A boilerplate object is any text, lines, or graphics that appear in a report every time it is run. Reports Builder creates one boilerplate object for each label selected in the Report Wizard (it is named B_columnname). For example, if a column is named ENAME, a boilerplate object containing "Ename" is generated for the column. For some report types, Reports Builder also generates lines under the labels. "
Creating a boilerplate object for text
To create a boilerplate object for text:
1. In the Paper Design view, Paper Layout view or Paper Parameter Form view, click in the tool palette.
2. Click and drag a rectangle.
3. In the new boilerplate object, type the desired text.
The text you type is composed of paragraphs which are separated by new lines. Text within a paragraph is word-wrapped inside the boilerplate object's horizontal size.
4. Click outside the boilerplate text object.

Form spread over several pages. How?

I have a large table that I would like to use buttons to navigate to subsets of fields. Here is a link to a sample app.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=29570
When I click the edit or add create new item button, it takes me to the form with only a sub set of the fields shown as I want.
But if i make a change and use the buttons to naviagate from General, to Home, to Work - it looses the changes I made.
How can I accomplish this functionality.
I am not savy on Apex, so please try explaining with details or a sample app working would be great.
Thanks for your help

Two things
1) As the two posts above hint at, you need your buttons to submit (such that the values of your page items are kept in session state.) There's a big difference between a redirect and a submit and I'd guess that you are using the former.
2) You also need to check that when navigating back to your page to you aren't overwriting the values in session state through the use of an automated row fetch or PL/SQL process. Take a look at the source option of your page items, checking that you aren't refreshing your items state every time.

How to divide RTF data to several pages?

Hi everybody,
I created an RTF file from rdf. In my rtf,
<?start:body?> For
<?if:GROUP_NAME1 = ‘C’ and GROUP_NAME2 = ‘B’?>
<?NAME?>
<?SURNAME?>
etc.
Here a text which contains the number of table data for these groups such as <?PERSON_NUMBER?>
person_id
address
post code
<?end if?>
<?if:GROUP_NAME1 = ‘C Grubu’ and GROUP_NAME2 = ‘B Grubu’?>
For - a different for here
<?PERSON_ID?>
<?ADDRESS?>
<?POST_CODE?>
<?end if?>
End
<?if:GROUP_NAME1 = 'A'?>
Different text here accordingto group name.
<?split-by-page-break: ?>
<?table-footer?>
<?end if?>
And here is the question. The data in the table (for group B and C) can be several numbers which I can not fit to one page so it continues to second or third pages, or more pages. But in those new pages, I also want to put the upper side to that page. I mean, I want to divide my data, with it's header side. But there is also a problem which is about <?PERSON_NUMBER?>. Because it has to be equal to number which those page include.
I wish I can tell my problem.
I will be very very greatful if anybody can help.
Thank you so much.

PSE 8: How to create a pdf with several pages?

I want to deliver DINA4-Sheets (thats bacic European standard size of a sheet of paper for let's say writing an official letter) to print out in a copy-shop. Now the copy-shop-owner says, for him it will be much easier if I hand in my 10-20 pages in one pdf-file with 10-20 pages and not 10-20 single-paged pdf-files, cause then he only needs to do the colour-routines and adjustings once and not many times. Now there is the problem, in Elements 8 there is the option to save a psd as a pdf-file, but I don't know how to add the other files and make a pdf with more pages than just one. May be I need to do that with Scribus, a freeware prog.

Hello Barbara!
Your answer just proved extremely helpful. It worked that way. I first created a pse-file in the right document size. Then with copy and paste I imported the first page and flattened it to one layer. Then I chose to create the second pse-page, that shows automatically in the menue then with the pse-file open. Into the second page again with copy and paste I imported the second single sheet and flattened the second page too to one layer and so on. That way it works. Finally I first save in the pse-file and then save the whole thing as pdf.
Very easy to do. Thanks a lot!

Float expanded picture in photo page

I've decided on the "Fine Line" template since it lets me put text down the left hand side.
So I have the thumbnails to the right that open when clicked.
Is is possible to have the window they open in float down the page while you scroll down to read the text?
example:
http://www.widman.biz/test/test/Month_29.html#grid

Here's a possible workaround...
1. Get to the page on which the button IS NOT visible.
2. Unselect the button to remove it from the page (in the Insert>Buttons menu
3. Go to another page where the button IS visible.
4. Select the button and copy it (Edit>Copy)
5. Go back to the problem page.
6. Select Paste (Edit>Paste)
The button should be pasted in the same location on the page as the page where you copied it from.
Let me know if this works for you.
