How to Insert a Page Break and Duplicate a Page in Pages 5.1

Pages 5 deprecated the "Word Processing" and "Page Layout" styles of document creation, but in 5.1, they have returned.
It seems that the DEFAULT is to "Word Processing," however it is possible to convert the document to a "Page Layout" document: In your open document, click File, then Convert To Page Layout.
So, for a Word Processing document, one only needs to click Insert and then Page Break, while in a Page Layout document, click Insert and then Page.
Unfortunately, the Duplicate Page function has NOT returned, but you can still select the entire contents of a page and copy it to a new page. Unfortunately, your perfect page layout won't copy over exactly, and guides don't copy over either.

Actually, I had an entire page worth of content that didn't change at all, but now that I think about it, that was probably because I had all of my content in boxes.
And I was careful to specify Pages 5.1 in my post heading to avoid confusion. It is VERY WELL documented that Apple removed loads of features in their new iWork apps - including all over this support forum.
Your obvious disdain for Pages 5 notwithstanding, the return of the Page Layout mode is a BIG DEAL to me, as Pages was otherwise just a word processor without it. Prevously, upgrading my Pages 4 documents to Pages 5 would render them un-editable.
So, instead of the seemingly default answer of "delete Pages 5 and use iWork '09" that I saw on just about every post regarding this particular issue, I'm offering a tidbit of information for those who actually want to try and use the current version the way it is.

  • How to insert a section break without a page break on Pages 5? Is it possible?

    I would like to begin a page with a page-wide paragraph, then continue with multiple columns. Can I insert a section break and stay on the same page, making the second section three columns? I haven't found a way to do that, and it seems it's not that unusual a format? It was easy with Pages 4.

    You mean a Layout Break.
    This is one simplification in Pages 5.
    Just select the paragraphs and change the number of columns in the Format sidebar.
    The only problem is vertical and horizontal indents, there are none.

  • RH8 for Word - Strange page breaks and non-scoll headers

    RH8 and Word 2007 generating WinHelp 2000.
    Normal page breaks are full page width.
    When I insert one in manually, it shows as only 2 inches wide.
    A tiopic with this short break does not show as a non-scroll header and does not get included in the browse sequence
    Any ideas folks?

    Funny you should ask as I've been trying to figure this out too!
    This is a Word 2007 issue - I assume you are using Office 2007? I am using RH7, but I believe my solution will work for you because it is Word, not RH.
    Anyhow, assuming my Word 2007 assumption is spot-on, you need to change word options.
    Go to the Office button, select Word Options.
    Select Advanced.
    Scroll to bottom of the window and look for Compatibility options (very bottom of the window).
    Expand the layout options.
    Check "don't split apart page break and paragraph mark". (You can apply this to the current open doc you see or all docs - if all docs, you will probably change the global normal template, which you may not want to do.)
    Click Okay.
    Note, if you go to recheck the setting, the format is now listed as "custom".
    Specifically, what was happening is the page break was taking on a "normal" style with 0pts before and after. This caused for me a big gap between the top of the help window and my heading 1 style. (I have my Heading 1 style set to 6pt before and 2pt after and font is 12pt.) Changing the above makes the page break itself take on the Heading 1 style which then also expands across the draft window instead only a couple inches. Other than affecting how the Heading 1 might appear in the compiled help system, I don't see any probelm with using the page break with the normal style applied to it, however, it is a little disconcerting. I noticed this particularly in the Outline view as I sort the pages in my the doc alphabetically based on Heading 1 so I can locate info easily by client name. When I used the "normal" or should I say "abnormal" style page break, these page breaks were excluded from the sort and I had no page breaks! (At least there is still an undo option!)
    I'm not sure, but you may need to modify the robohelp.dot template to keep this permanent for your robohelp for word help systems.
    In addition, your heading style probably does not have the paragraph format setting set to "keep with next", so change the style and that should add the non-scroll to the header.
    One final piece of advice, have the "developer" tab showing in the ribbon. This allows you to access the template and see the styles in your doc. I would  uncheck the "automatically update" option so that when you reopen the doc, it doesn't lose any doc specific style changes you made.

  • How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

    How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?

    Put a section break at the bottom of page 1
    Then insert your page number in the footer of page 1.
    Go to page 2 and click in the body of the text;
    Inspector > Layout > Section > uncheck Use Previous Headers & Footers > click in Header on page > insert > Page Number

  • Using Page Breaks and Template Shifting

    I'm working on a book.  The book is in a word formate.  I'm taking the text and porting it into InDesign with page after page being connected. There are 73 pages in total of pure copy once ported in.  Now I'm going in and laying the media into the text.  I have two basic master template designs that I use based on the content being talked about in the text.  Example is Master Template A has a white background, and Master Template B which has a black background. 
    Since the book is alternating between templates depending on the content on the page the pages might look like this:
    Page 1: Template A
    Page 2: Template A
    Page 3: Template B
    Page 4: Template A
    and so on.  I have a question about page breaking.  I'd like to always keep the content on page 3 on a master template B background. 
    However, if I add more content to A, or if I use a page break, the content on all subsequent pages gets pushed down (all pages are connected).  So if I page break on Page 1, my content from page B gets pushed onto a template A background.  This is obviously not what I wanted.  Should there be another function besides page break that I should be using to put separaters?  How can I make sure that my content on page 3 stays on a template B background?

    Right now your text is threaded in one continuous story. When you add new text inthe middle, anything following that point is going to move. To prevent that you need to break the text into separate stories for eac type of content.
    This is basically the same thing as dividing the chapters of a book so that each one starts onthe correct master page, which is didcussed at some length here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3993405#3993405

    Hi,
    According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
    is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
    as a new version.
    I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
    http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
    In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

  • How to insert a simple page break in an eBook while using pages to make the ePub?

    Hello,
    I am using pages to make ePubs.
    I have a problem: if I insert a page break in pages, it is deleted when I convert the file to ePub.
    So I do not know how to start on a new page without adding a new chapter....
    Do you have a solution?
    best regards
    MD

    You are taking about Pages '09? because this has been removed from Pages 5.
    Clunky as it may be it does have some very powerful features.
    You can capture as many pages into a Section as you want, which automatically sets up a document in depth. Once you have done the work, it is super fast to compose a new document from all the parts.
    It is a shame that Apple didn't simply fix what needed fixing with this model, instead of ditching it, because I am really stumped how to set up documents in the current version.

  • How to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page? I want to control the TOC numbering so that page numbers don't break at the hyphen:
    In my reference page, I have the following TOC definition:
    <$paratext> <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
    Replacing the hyphen with \+ doesn't seem to work.
    Thanks!
    Sue

    Sue,
    The sequence \+ is used in dialog boxes. Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as
    Esc hyphen h
    Press the keys in sequence. Do not hold the Esc key down while you type the others.
    A nonbreaking space is
    Esc space h
    OR
    Control+space
    Hope this helps,
    Van

  • How to influence Page Break and Keep Together options

    Hello,
    we are using Crystal Repost 13.1 and generate Reports via C# Code and ADO.NET Data.
    Now to the problem.
    We generate Invoices that show the detail position in several Detail sections. After the Detailsections there are Reportfooter Sections for net and gross sums, VAT info, payment terms, delivery adresses and so forth.
    My problem is now that I always want the three report footer sections that show the net sum, VAT and gross sum on one page. But the Keep together option can only be applied for the entire report footer. if that option is set, due to lots of other text following the sums, it all is shown on the following page, although on the first page there would be enough space to print the sections displaying the sums...
    Hope I made myself somewhat clear. Does anyhone have a suggestion on how to handle this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Merge the 3 report footers into one section and set it to keep together.

  • HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

    Hello,
    My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
    We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
    We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
    There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
    <A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
    <A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
    Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
    I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
    Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
    Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
    header1
    header2
    header2
    header1
    header1
    header2
    Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
    Please excuse my English.
    I am looking forward to your response,
    Lucas

    Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

  • Page breaks and 'Fit Page in Window' option

    This may seem a stupid question but indulge me: when I add a page break InDesign is only showing me the very top of the text frame on the page the cursor has moved to. How do I get InDesign to honour the 'Fit Page to Window' option when I add page breaks? Do I really have to keep hitting command-0?

    It does like to go exactly to the first line of the next page. It's not very intuitive.
    However, you can hold down Alt and scroll the page up.
    Or while holding alt - click and hold anywhere on the page. It will zoom out. Move the red box where you want to Zoom to, then release the mouse.
    Or you could press Return a few times then delete the returns.
