How to vertically align text in Pages?

I finially finished a HUGE paper and I'm trying to create a table of contents. The table looks messy with the "Pages" unaligned. How do I fix this?

Are you creating a manual table of contents? TOC's usually only have tha starting page number for a chapter or heading, not and ending number too like you have it.

How to vertical align Text Layers at baseline

Hi,
what do i have to do, to align a few Text Layers vertical, based on the baseline of the text? I have my Text Layers for a Navigation and can't use "Align bottom edges" because one word has a "g". I've a screenshot attached. I didn't find a solution when searching the web.
Mario

Only thing I can suggest is to create a guide and then you can move the text block to the guideline, and it will snap to the text baseline.

I searched for a solution to this myself and missed this thread before i posted my own thread. but I find it odd how when this is asked for people are asked to give a good reason to use the bounding box, or like here told that there is no reason to need this. Well here is my current situation.
I have a project that has 500+ peices. I am using data sets and variables.xml to create them all quickly.
Each one consists of a 1 of three logos and 1 of 500+ lines of text and all the lines of text are different lengths
Now the problem I am having is getting the text to wrap properly instead of running off the art board. This was easilly solved by using a text box. Now I am faced with a new issue, One line texts are all sitting really high on the artwork.
So I would like to center all text vertically inside the box

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

How do I highlight text in Pages?

How do I highlight text in Pages - none of the menus, nor the 'Help' function seems to help...

It's tough searching for something when you can't guess the terms to use. It's called a "background color." You can choose a color from the format bar.

How can I align text in Acrobat 8.1 Professional?

Okay this is quite silly, but seriously how can I align text in adobe acrobat? I could not find a way other than creating a new document file which allows me to use alignment options automatically (example below), however does not allow me that when I reopen the same file (alignment and text options just dissapear on the bars, funny). Help anyone please? =/
http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=examplemo2.jpg

Not that silly; but you ideally shouldn't be trying. Although there are some rudimentary (and sometimes unpredictable) editing tools in Acrobat, (I presume you are trying with the TouchUp Object tool as well as the TouchUp Text ?) much better to get it right in the source application and think of the pdf as what it basically is...a print.
For whatever reason, v5 could edit text positioning rather more easily than the later versions.

How to reformat a text in Pages?

Does anybody know how to " clear format" a text in Pages? You can do in Word. Thanks a lot.

Happily, Pages isn’t a clone of Word.
It’s not supposed to replicate its features.
Here is a slightly modified version of a script posted about a month ago.
Open the Pages Word Processing document to treat then apply the script.
As it was written as a demo of what may be done, you will have to edit some instructions to get the exact wanted format (mainly those applying colors).
--{code}
--[SCRIPT clear_Pages_format]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : clear_Pages_format.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrez un document traitement de texte de Pages.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “clear_Pages_format”
Le script appliquera la police Courier et quelques autres attributs au texte du document.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: clear_Pages_format.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open a Pages Word Processing document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “clear_Pages_format”
The script will apply the font Courier and some other attributes to the embedded text.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

How can I insert text in Pages so it flows to the next page?

I try copying a block of text into Pages but it cuts off at the end of the page instead of flowing to the next page. How do I fix this?

You have probably started with a Layout mode template instead of a Word Processing template. See the sidebar in the Template Chooser for which is which.
Alternatively you may have pasted an object (possibly from the Internet), not text into a Word Processing template. Click inside the object and copy the text, then delete the object and try pasting again.

How to vertically align Prompts on the same line in OBIEE

Can we vertically align "Product Line (Owned)" and "Product Line(Not Owned)" in this Prompt on same vertical line?
so that "Product Line(Owned)" can start from the same vertical line where "Product Line(Not Owned)" starts
we tried few options by adding a text element in dashboard and playing with td.GFPFilter
but couldn't find a solution to it.
we were looking into this thread
Dashboard Prompt Alignment
Currently we have it like this, alignment is not same due to "Not Owned" text being longer than "Owned" text
"Product Pillar (Owned)"--------------"Product Line (Owned)"---------------------"Product (Owned)"
"Product Pillar (Not Owned)"--------------"Product Line (Not Owned)"---------------"Product (Not Owned)"
we want to have it like this,
"Product Pillar (Owned)"--------------"Product Line (Owned)"-------------"Product (Owned)"
"Product Pillar (Not Owned)"---------"Product Line (Not Owned)"--------"Product (Not Owned)"

Hi Rupak,
I just tried it and it the solution is pretty easy. Just add a text-box to your dashboard holding the following:
<style>td.GFPFilter {width: 200px}</style>You need to check "Contains HTML markup"

How can i wrap text in Pages?

Hello,
I am having a hard time finding out exactly how I can "wrap" my text using Pages. I have the most recent version (updated 10/18). This is NOT an issue wrapping text around an object, just a matter of getting the text to wrap instead of hyphenating words from one line to another.
Thank you!

Nevermind!
I figured out that by going to "more" on the formatting tab, you can check "remove paragraph hyphenation" and this will wrap the text.
