How to set zero point at upper left corner of page

In my document, I have tried to use the "Units & Increments" preference settings to make the upper left corner of my pages be the zero point for the x and y coordinates. But, if I draw a box on the page then type in the coordinates as zero, the center of the box will align with the upper left corner of the page. I need for the upper left corner of the box to align with the upper left corner of the page. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Frozen warning located at upper left corner of pages app which says "There aren't any warnings for this document".

Frozen warning located at upper left corner of pages app which says "There aren't any warnings for this document". Cannot seem to be able to close this window. It interferes with my ability to use pages, as it always remains in front of all documents I am working on. Any suggestions on how to remove this frozen warning?

Usually it is not frozen as such it is just waiting for you to click on OK somewhere.
Check if there isn't a button or window somewhere or whether Enter will clear it.

How do I remove in the upper left corner the Firefox logo which is followed by text describing the web page. Want to declutter the screen and gain space.

Right above the Menu tool bar, (File,Edit,View, History,etc.), in the upper left hand corner is the Firefox logo followed by text..as I'm typing this, it reads "Ask a Question|Mozilla Support-
Mozilla Firefox". Since I already use the Navigation tool bar, find this information redundant and most important want to regain some real estate on my small screen by removing it if possible. Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you want - if you want an overview of all open windows, use the F key.. Otherwise please post back and be more specific.

How do I get rid of yahoo toolbar and get back my orange firefox button in the upper left corner of screen so I can use my stuff again?

Yahoo toolbar suddenly imposed itself as my log on screen whenever I booted up my computer and clicked on Firefox. Now I can't get to my bookmarks even though it told me that if I activated the new bookmark system it would transfer my old ones. It didn't happen. The toolbar has no bar for typing in a www.http address. I cannot use it and don't want it. I am using Explorer just so I can access my bookmark address, but don't like Explorer. I want my old Firefox screen back that has the little orange button in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get there? My computer use has been highly curtailed by this unrequested invasion!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How to display a frame at the upper left corner of each screen?

hi,
below are 2 ways to display a frame at the upper left corner of each screen (i have 2 monitors).
both work but the 2nd way is much slower. which, if any, of the 2 approaches is "more" correct?

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
// the thing that matters in here is setting the frame's location: xCoord
// is incremented in each iteration by the current screen's width and
// is used to set the frame's x-coordinate.
public static void main(String args[])
      GraphicsEnvironment gEnviron = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
      GraphicsDevice[]    gDevices = gEnviron.getScreenDevices();
      Color colors[] = {Color.blue, Color.red};
      for(int i = 0, xCoord = 0; i < gDevices.length; i++)
         // set panel's size and frame's size to take up the whole screen
         DisplayMode didsplayMode = gDevices.getDisplayMode();
int screenWidth = didsplayMode.getWidth();
int screenHeight = didsplayMode.getHeight();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(colors[i % colors.length]);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(new Dimension(screenWidth, screenHeight));
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
// set location of frame.
frame.setLocation(xCoord, 0);
xCoord += screenWidth;
frame.addMouseListener
new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {System.exit(1);}
frame.setVisible(true);
// this is a lot slower and may not be correct: it sets the frame's location by calling
// getConfigurations() on each screen device but using only the 1st configuration
// (it returns 6 on my computer) to get the bounds (for the frame's x-coord).
// a screen device has 1 or more configuration objects but do all the objects
// of the device report the same bounds? if the anwser is yes, then the code
// is correct, but i'm not sure.
public static void main1(String args[])
GraphicsEnvironment gEnviron = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice[] gDevices = gEnviron.getScreenDevices();

panel.setBackground(colors[i % colors.length]);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(new Dimension(screenWidth, screenHeight));
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
// set location of frame: getConfigurations() is very time consuming
GraphicsConfiguration[] gConfig = gDevices[i].getConfigurations();
// on my computer: gConfig.length == 6. using the 1st from each set of configs
Rectangle gConfigBounds = gConfig[0].getBounds();
frame.setLocation(gConfigBounds.x, gConfigBounds.y);
frame.addMouseListener
new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {System.exit(1);}
frame.setVisible(true);
thank you.

Two buttons in upper left corner , arrow pointing upwards with a tail & tw

Real simple and quick question in a lot of logic windows in the upper left corner I see these two buttons.
Once is a arrow pointing upwards with a tail that goes to the right, and turns at a right angle.
The other question is what is the button right next to it that looks like two paper clips, or two links in a chain. Often this is shaded meaning that it is enabled correct?

That's the hierarchy button, useful for moving up in the display levels - for navigating up and down within folders, for example.

That button links windows. Control-clicking sets the way the links are established. Useful for updating (or not) displays of regions - for example, linking a specific region to the piano roll.
There's another useful link button on plug-in windows, which allows you to switch a plug-in display to show another plug-in in the same window, or with it off, display separate windows each time, so you can compare one to another.

How to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the application?

I want to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the pages on application?
I don't want to put one page by another.
Thank you.

If you put it in a region on page zero, it will be inherited by all pages of the application.. Literally in the upper left corner? Even the login page? You could also modify the template page that your using from your theme, so that all pages would have this attribute, whichever you are more comfortable with..
Thank you,

Illustrator CS 6 won't paste into a text box/paragraph of text, instead pastes a new line of text in the upper left corner of my document. How can I get it to paste into the selected paragraph or highlighted text like normal?

I've done it a million times, I copy a selection of type...I select the type that I want to replace it with, and then I paste. Now, Illustrator will only paste the text as a "point text" (a single line) somewhere else on the artboard—it seems to always be the upper left corner of the art board.

peg,
In cases of sudden appearance of strangenesses, the list may be relevant, hopefully the easy part at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How to set up an automatic upper case at the begining of a sentence

Can someone help me if or how to set up an automatic upper case at the beggining of each sentence. I am doing huge amount of writing and just got fed up with it.

What application? Pages? If so, that option (and many others) is not available in the current version. You can use the previous version which should be in your application folder. Or you can do what I finally did and use Open Office or Libre Office.

What version of Pages?
What instructions? It sounds like you have got the wrong ones and are trying to delete a page in the Thumbnails, which will delete th entire section.
If you have a blank page in a Word Processing template, it is because there is some text on it, even a return, tab, space or page break:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles > backspace over whatever it is to get rid of it

Are you sure you have a PowerMac? They can't run Mac OS 10.6.8. Maybe a Mac Pro instead?
Can you post a screen shot of that portion of the screeen for us to review? Does the question mark replace the Apple that's at the left end of the menubar?

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.

One website appears small and in the upper left corner of the screen - how do I fix

A website that used to appear normal on my screen now has shrunk and is at the upper left corner of the screen. It is too small for me to use. How do I get the website to appear normal size again? I already tried "Full Screen" option and that does not fix the problem. I am using Firefox 16.0.2 and Windows 7.

@jack, resetting the zoom level is already covered in the help article ;-)
