How to have a text box expand to next page

I already got the text field to expand after i am able to type but when I go to preview the field does not flow to the next page. It hides behind the content I have on page two. How do I get the text field to push the content below it when it expands?

The main content area needs to be set to flowed.
If you want your content to push down as you enter text it needs to be a subform

How do i layer text boxes in the new pages?

I have the new pages, and every time i try to layer a text boxes, one text box disappears. How do i change that?

Please give the exact version number of Pages, it helps when sorting out problems.
The Textbox doesn't disappear.
The text in the Textbox is pushed away by the Textwrap on the other Textbox/es.
Generally, with the Textbox/es selected:
Toolbar > Format > Arrange > Text Wrap > None

How to make a text field wrap to next page

I've done my best to find the solution to my problem before coming here to post, so forgive me if I've missed a previously posted solution.
I am a .NET coder, using iText to manipulate PDF's. I need to create a template for a corporate invoice that will allow me to have header and footer content on a page, surrounding the invoice detail section and have the invoice detail wrap to the next page as necessary.
Criteria: All pages have the invoice header. All pages have the invoice footer with pagination (i.e. Page 1 of n). The number of pages is controlled by the number fo lines in the invoice detail text field.
For example, if the text field holds 30 lines and each line item takes up a single line. An invoice with 25 line items would only use one page. If the invoice has 35 line items, the content in the text area needs to flow to page 2 in the invoice detail area.
I have tried every combination I can dream up in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I cannot get a document set up that will flow from page 1 to page 2.
For me to be able to access invoice detail field in code, it appears that it needs need to be a Text Field. I've been able to access the fields from my .NET code and fill them in without issue.
What I cannot get is a template that will allow me to put more content in the detail area than fits on page one and have it automatically create a second page and flow the content into the detail area.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, or provide a working sample PDF?
I.e.
PAGE 1:
MY COMPANY
ADDRESS
INVOICE #20
Line item #1
Lilne item #1 detail
Line item #2
Line item #2 detail <from here, detail must flow to the detail section of the next page>
Page 1 of 2
PAGE 2:
MY COMPANY
ADDRESS
INVOICE #20
Line item #3
Lilne item #3 detail
Line item #4
Line item #4 detail
Page 2 of 2

While I appreciate the direction to the samples, that is not resolving my issue. I had already seen the samples before I posted in this forum.
None of the samples have what I've requested assistance with above.
I need a static 3" header, a 5" content area and a 1" footer on every page in a document. I want to be able to put content in the content area and have it wrap to subsequent pages if the content is more than will fit in the area. Each subsequent page must also have the 3" header, 5" content area and 1" footer.
This will not be edited in Acrobat, it will be edited in .NET code without human intervention, so having click buttons to add another row to a table is not an option.
I could create the entire PDF programmatically, but I'm seeking to find if Adobe LiveCycle Designer can make the PDF form in an easy to use GUI.
If the details of my need above do not provide a clear requirement, feel free to point that out.

How can i place text boxes closer together in pages

I have a shape in pages and I am trying to place names inside of the shape. I would like th fonts to be bigger they are too far apart. As soon as I try to make the font bigger they cancel each other out.

If you aren't seeing the Inspector window, type Option-Command-I. Then locate the Inspector Window and click on the third tab.

How can I continue text into column on next page in the new Pages?

In the previous version of Pages if your text exceeded the length of the column, there was a little icon to the right of the column where you could click to have the remaining text continue to another column on another page. I don't see any option to continue the text once you've run out of space. How can this be done in the new verio

How to have column headings re-print on next page when printing?

When I make a document in Numbers '08, that requires more than one page, how do I get the column headings to print on the other pages?
I have looked at 'Print View', but cannot edit what I see. Please help!

I no longer use Numbers '08 but if I remember well, the soluce is to activate the "Show Print View" mode from the View icon available on the left edge of the toolbar.
It offer:
Show/Hide Print View
Show/Hide Layout
Show/Hide Rulers
Show/Hide Format Bar
Show/Hide Comments

Can someome help me make these text boxes expandable?

hello,
I can not seem to figure out how to make the text boxes on the 2nd page of this 2 page document. Could someone do that for me?
Thanks

Two issues .....
1. The form must be saved as a dynamic Form. Under the SaveAs menu make sure that you choose a type of Dynamic PDF.
2. The root subform for Page 2 must be set to flowed. Once that is done everything will shift to the left. On the subform object in the layout tab you can set a .25 in margin to put the object back where they were.

How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable. How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

Hi Alan,
TextField objects can expand dynamically. There are a few things that you need to do:
1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed. This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form. If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

internet but not getting any answer.
Can anyone tell me how can i increase the size of that + sign?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Rohit,
Per my understanding that you want to change the size of the "+" and "-" when you have add drill down action in the report like below, right?
Generally, we can only show/hide the toggle and change the toggleItem, there is no properties to allow to change the size of this toggle.
You can submit an wish at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add the feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service

Thanks for your understanding.

How do I remove text boxes from Pages

I have an awful time with Pages on my lap top. I am used to Appleworks 6.2 on my older desktop (PowerMac G4 / OS 10.4.11). If I specify a US letter page I get that in Appleworks, it is then 8.1/2" x 11", without running into pre-existing formats or other similar distractions. I can immediately type a neat business letter.
Not with Pages. On my MacBookAir, with Pages 4.3 and OS 10.8.4, I can type alright, but when I want to print what I typed, only a small part of what I typed shows up in in Print Preview of my typed page. After a bit of backtracking, I notice a blue-lined rectangle on my typed page containing the portion of my typing that appeared in that Print Preview. It is apparently a self-formed "text box", that was not a part of my blank template page and was not inserted by me while or just before I typed.
I did not find any way to delete the edges of that text box. The "delete" option under the pull down edit menu is blanked out. If I click on the "Text box " symbol in the menu bar it does not let me switch off the text box, but instead gives me another text box inside the first one! I suppose this is to allow user to print only a single keyboard stroke of the entire letter. The "Inspector" seems to have no options to set text boxes.
Pages "Help" Menu has nothing of how to delete a text box, or how to prevent it in the first place from screwing up what you have typed in such manner that it becomes unprintable.
Similarly a small rectangular box formed on both the top and the bottom of each page (which could be a space reserved for a header or footer), but again I do not use these on my business letters, and they appear self-formed by Pages, and I would like to know how to prevent them, or delete them.
In other words I like to get a blank page to start with, which will only set up and type what "I, THE USER" enter on my keyboard.
Can anybody tell me how to this with Pages?
(PS. I can do it with even with Thunderbird !)

1. Open a blank Word Processing template (they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar), you have opened a Layout template that requires Textboxes for you to type into.
2. To select a Textbox hold down the command key and click on its edge or lassoo it, then hit delete.
3. If you don't want Headers or Footers, uncheck them in the Document Inspector
4. Download the Pages09_UserGUide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with Pages' basics. Also look around your Menus and Inspectors which are laid out logically from left to right from broad to details.
I suggest you click inside your textbox first go command a and copy the contents before you delete it and then paste that into a new Word Processing template.

How to place a word document that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?

Is there a way to place a word document into InDesign that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?
Example
page 1 from word doc imports to page 1 in indesign,
page 2 from word doc imports to page 3 in indesign,
page 3 from word doc imports to page 5 in indesign, etc.
Than, take a different word doc and import to the even pages of the same indesign document,
Example
page 1 from word doc#2 imports to page 2 in indesign,
page 2 from word doc#2 imports to page 4 in indesign,
page 3 from word doc#2 imports to page 6 in indesign, etc.
Thanks

I don't import Word docs... but I don't think there is a simple 1-click solution.
You probably need to set up a facing pages document with a master text frame on each.
Create the pages you need and link the left text frames to each other and the right to each other.
Importing should work from there however not sure how the page-break works (if you have that set-up in Word).

You need to make the text box float left.
