How to insert a templated page into an existing Pages document

I'm sorry if this is a low level question.  I'm new to using Pages.  I have a word processing document started.   I want to add pages, or I guess they call them "sections" in this form (why?).   I have saved a page that I created as a template.  It exists in my template folder.   But when I go to add new pages to my document I am only offered the option of adding a text document or a blank page.  It doesn't give me the option of adding the template that I made.   Everything I've tried results in opening a new document or making a copy of the template.    This does not feel very intuitive to me.
Thank you in advcance!

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 image file into oracle database

    hi all
    can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
    i have created table using

    but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

    Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
    Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
    out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
    out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
    out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
    import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
    private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
            boolean result = true;
            String fileName = null;
            byte fileData[] = null;
            String fileUploadError = null;
            String imageType = "";
            String error = "";
            DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
            List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
            Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()){
                FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
                if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                    fileName = fileItem.getName();
                    fileData = fileItem.get();
                    // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                    if (fileName != null) {
                        int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                        if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                            imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                            if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                                imageType = "jpeg";
            String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
            session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
            session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
            session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
            session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
            return result;  
         } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
    private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
            //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
            //save it into the database via a pstmt
            String sql = "";
            UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
            Connection con = null;
            int signatureID = 0;
            PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
            try {
                udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
                con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
                con.setAutoCommit(false);
                if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                    sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                    while(rs.next()) {
                       signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                        sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                        InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                        pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                        pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                        pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                        pstmt.executeUpdate();
                        pstmt.close();
                        con.commit();
                        con = null;
                if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                    signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                        sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
                        InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);

  • How to insert a tumbler blog into muse web site?

    Hey I was wondering if you know how to insert a tumbler blog into adobe muse? I have a tumbler account but would like to use it in adobe muse. how can I add it to my blog page in muse for desktop?

    Goto your Tumblr account and then view it when you're logged out ... the URL link should look something like this?:
    http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com
    Now copy & paste that URL link and insert it into this code snippet:
    <iframe src="http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com" onLoad="calcHeight();" scrolling="YES" frameborder="0" width="660" height="950" name="resize" id="resize"></iframe>
    Now copy and paste this edited snippet into the Muse page where you want your Blog ... set the correct width and height in the code (see above) to fit your page ...
    Cutomize it:
    I would suggest customizing your Blog with the built-in customize HTML section to tweak the embedded Blog page ... i.e. turn off some of the Tumblr sections like Header, Description, etc, if you don't want them ...
    Better still go over to this Tumblr Theme site and create a nice custom theme where you can do it all yourself ...
    Then after that still use the snippet code above once you have copied & pasted the new customised Tumblr HTML into you Tumblr Blog:
    http://www.totallylayouts.com/tumblr-generator/
    The art is to streamline your Blog as much as possible so you get the most screen estate shown in Muse, because as an inserted iFrame widget you do lose a bit ...

  • How to insert watermark in pages

    Hi, want to know how to insert watermark like "Confidential" into pages.
    Thank you.

    CD,
    This is done in Pages with a Text Box. 
    Insert > Text Box
    Type the word Confidential into the Text Box.
    Size, Position and Rotate the Text Box, and then adjust text size to fill the box.
    With the box selected (not the text inside the box)...
    Arrange > Send Objects to Background
    Format > Advanced > Move Objects to Section Master
    This all assumes that Pages, printed to paper or PDF is the target. Text boxes don't translate well to Word if you are planning to export.

    To enable the form to be signed in Reader you will need to open the form in Acrobat; goto Advanced>Enable Usage Rights and then save this copy of the form for sending out to the users.
    The user should then be able to edit and digitally sign the form. They can then email the signed/saved pdf as a browsed for attachment or via the email icon in the toolbar. Note - if you have created an email submit button on the form, then unless they have Acrobat they could only return an xml file.
    The other way to do this however is to create a dataset by 'distributing' the form. This time the Email Return button will send back a full version of the form. During the distribution setup you will have the option to email the form directly or to save it and send it later,so you can send to users as and when or even post it to a website or intranet.
    When you receive and open the returned form it will ask whether you want to add it to the predetermined dataset (or if you want to categorise the returns into geographical areas for example, you could create new additional datasets at this point). If the form is data heavy however, the dataset will become very large and unwieldy pretty quickly, but you can export the data from it (including signatures) in xml format and import this into an Excel spreadsheet.
    To simplify the Excel xml import process I'd recommend you carefully structure your form in the hierarchy (LiveCycle) into the order you would want the data items to appear in your spreadsheet and switch off those data items that you will not need by setting the default binding for the irrelevant fields to "None".
    Clear as mud? Hope this helps.

  • How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

    I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format.  How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
    Is that what the export feature is supposed to do?  I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

    You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
    Pages ’09 v4+
    Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
    Pages v5+
    Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
    Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
    Backup your work.

    You could read about that in the documentation which is available online.

  • Could someone help me out how to insert a Node properly into a DOM?

    I am trying to insert a Node built from a String to a DOM.
    Here is how I created the Node
                   Detail = "<Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail>";
                   prolog = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>";
                   Node DetailNode = null;
                   Document DetailDoc = null;
                   if( Detail != null ){
                        Detail = prolog + BiometricDetail;
                        DetailDoc = xp.XML2DOM( BiometricDetail ); // transform a XML String into a DOM.
                        DetailNode = BiometricDetailDoc.getDocumentElement();                    
    Here is how I created the DOM
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory factory = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   Document document = builder.newDocument();
                   Element beeE = document.createElement("BeeSets");
                   Element grpE = document.createElement("Group");          
                   bioE.appendChild( grpE );
                   // the document looks like "<BeeSets><Group></Group><BeeSets>";
                   // After inserting the Node DetailNode, I want it to look like
                   // "<BeeSets><Group><Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail></Group><BeeSets>";
    Now when I tried to insert the node DetailNode to the DOM document, I tried
    1) document.importNode( DetailNode, true );               
    No exception was thrown. But when I transformed the DOM document back to a String, I could not see the information from the newly imported Node DetailNode.
    When I tried
              grpE.insertBefore( BiometricDetailNode, dataE );
    I got the following exception.
         org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
         at org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.internalInsertBefore(Unknown Source)

         at com.jadcs.bioidentity.role.base.RP.getNodes(RP.java:497)
    2) document.adoptNode( DetailNode );
    I got the following exception.

    3) detailStr = "<Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail>";
    Element detailE = document.createElement("Detail");
    detailE.setTextContent( detailStr );
    grpE.appendChild( detailE );
    This way gives result like "<BeeSets><Group><Detail><Detail><Flash>On</Flash></Detail></Detail></Group><BeeSets>";
    The content is messed up.
    Could someone help me out at how to insert a Node properly into a DOM? Thank you very much.

    Said another way, importNode actually only makes and returns a copy of the node you gave it (it will be a deep copy only if you pased true as the second parameter), but where the new dom you called import on is owner.
    So what you need to do is more like this:
    Node tempNode = domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.importNode(node2copy,true); //true if you want a deep copy
    domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.appendNode(tempNode);You can also traverse to any point in the DOM and insert the node there with the same method, but you always have to import first so that the DOM has a copy of the node that it owns.

  • HT4641 How do I save a pages document into a format a pc can open?

    How do I save a pages document that a pc can open.  eg jpeg, rtf pdf etc?

    I assume you're using Pages on an iOS device since that is the forum you've posted in.
    Tap on the wrench/spanner at the upper right & choose Share & Print. From there you can choose to e-mail or save to iTunes & then choose a format such as PDF or Word.
    If you should be asking about Pages on a Mac, use File > Export & choose Word or PDF.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • How do I save a pages document as a pdf to iPhoto?

    I recently purcahsed a new imac and have upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Under my old system: Leopard, in Pages 07, I was able to complete a document and then save it as a .pdf to iphoto.  When I upgraded to Lion, I lost this capability.  It was my understanding with the upgraded system (Mountian Lion and Pages 09) that I would once again have this feature but I don't see that option now.  Does anyone know how I can get a Pages document saved into iphoto?
    Thanks in advance:)

    Pages does not export to .png. You can export as a PDF then open the PDF in Preview & export as .png. A better way would be to select the content you want & copy then switch to Preview & go File > New from Clipboard & save that as a .png. You'll get a better result with the second method.
