I can't delete section breaks in page,

Hi there, this is my first time using sections in Pages. I've tried your online tutorials but I don't seem to be able to combine two sections together, because I can't work out how to delete the section breaks without deleting the document.
The dotted blue line, which I imagine I'm supposed to be fn+delete-ing deletes the substance of the page also. I'm not sure if it makes much difference but the pages I'm working on are only using pictures.
I need to get the sections right for my TOC.
I really appreciate your help. I'm loving my mac, but this bits giving me a headache!
Cheers, S

Hi poolpony
I suspect you have a lot of pictures mixed in with paragraph returns.
When you have a combination of images with the default word wrap on, not quite filling up the width of the page they can interact in unpredictable ways. This can make them pop and disappear when the page they are on disappears from under them.
Select the images and:
+Inspector > Wrap > Object Placement > Floating+
also:
+Inspector > Wrap > uncheck Object Causes Wrap+
Since there are many ways your returns, inline graphics, wrap and section breaks can interact, if you still have problems email me the file by clicking on my blue name and I'll fix it.

  • Need help understandin section breaks or page breaks

    Hi there, was hoping I can gain a better undersrtanding of how to use section breaks and page breaks.
    I have typed several reports while using apple pages.  I click on the VIEW button on upper left corner and all the pages appear to run continously. I do not want that to continue to happen. How can I make each and every page its own page.  I have done it once years ago and have observed a this fine line below each page under the view option so that I may move or rearragne pages. Can someone please help?
    dee

    Pages 5.1 only lets you delete Sections, you can't drag them into place.
    You can Menu > Insert > Section Break on the bottom of every page or
    Setup > Document > uncheck Document Body which will delete all yout content in teh Document Body
    or Better still use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • How to change the header and footer in the Section Breaks Next Page using OpenXML?

    I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.
    Scenario of example, I have a doc file which has four pages with headers and footers and added fifth page in the section break next page, I want to change the header and footer of the fifth page only. This is achievable manually by deselecting the Link to Previous
    button in the Word Application but I don't know how to change it using XML?
    My code that adds the new page in the section breaks is:
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string path = @"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx";
    string strtxt = "Hello This is done by programmatically";
    OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(path,strtxt);
    public static void OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(string filepath, string txt)
    using (DocX document = DocX.Load(@"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx"))
    document.InsertSectionPageBreak();
    Paragraph p1 = document.InsertParagraph();
    p1.Append("This is new section");
    document.Save();

  • How can I delete an old web page ??

    How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

    Delete the web page where it is published.
    If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
    If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
    It really is not hard.

  • Using iWork 09 Pages I need the first six pages of a document to not be counted as page numbers. I need the seventh page to be numbered as page one. I already know to have a section break between pages 6 and 7 and to use inspector "start at." Not working

    In the book I'm formatting, the first page is the title page, the second page is the copyright page, the third through fifth pages are the table of contents, the sixth page is blank, then the text (which I want to number as page one) is the introduction. I have section breaks between the title page, the copyright page, the table of contents, and the introduction. Using the Inspector, Layout, Section, and selecting "Start at" 7 doesn't do anything!

    Is is a bit tricky, but it works. On your 6th page (the blank one) go to Insert > Section Break. This will give you a 7th page. Then go to Inspector (blue circle with a white letter i in it) and go to Layout Inspector (2nd tab). Once in thee, go to Section. Check "Start at" and enter the number 1. Then ensure all other toons I there are unchecked.
    Then go to Insert, and select Auto Page Numbers. You will find that your 7th page is numbered 1 as you want, but the first six pages will be numbered 1 to 6, which you don't want. But you can then delete the page numbering in that 1st section, leaving your 2nd section, beginning at page 7, numbered as page 1. You'll need to play around a bit as I did, and I would suggest using a test document to play with so you can undo any unwanted actions etc, but with tweaking around, it's doable. This took me ages to sort, so if it works for you, please give me the points :-)

  • How can I remove section dividers from Pages document?

    I would like to remove the section dividers in a Pages document so that all pages are a part of one section, not several. I would like to be able to number the pages consecutively from beginning to end of the document.
    Thank you.

    Section Breaks are characters, so you can just forward or backward delete them.
    You can also set the document to continue numbering from the previous section.

  • How do you delete section breaks without deleting content?

    I am working on my dissertation and am trying to format the document to the specifications, which includes different margins for different pages.  I watched the tutorial on using section breaks and it looked like it work work, but now my document is full of blank pages from the section breaks, the margins are still changing the entire document not just the section I need changed and the formating is being completely screwed up by the section breaks.  When I try to delete them I get a message stating that it will also delete the content of the section, which would mean it would delete any work I have done.  How do I get rid of the section breaks?  how do I set margins on some pages at a certain size and on others a different size?  Or should I just go back to using Word, which is beginning to look like the better option.

    (1) It's often useful to know the exact version of the system in use so, it would be fair to post messages with an up-to-date profile.
    I' would be surprised if you were able to run Pages under Mac OS X (10.0.x)
    (2) users which took time to look at the Pages User Guide are aware of the feature allowing them to display so called « hidden » characters.
    Triggering it, you would see the section breaks like the one selected in the next screenshot :

  • Can't delete/remove Aperture Web Page

    I just published a web page using "Publish to MobileMe" and now can't get rid of it they way they describe in the manual.
    From the manual, it says:
    "To stop publishing an album in your .Mac account:
    1 Select the album that you want to remove from your .Mac account in the “Albums you
    published as” list.
    2 Click Stop Publishing."
    The only problem is that, when I got to preferences>MobileMe, my page does not show up. It's like it doesn't exist.
    So why it's not showing up is beyond me. So, I can't delete it that way. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? I went and deleted it by just deleting the files on my iDisk, but that doesn't explain why this is happening. Anyone come across this? Thanks.

    Figured this out on my own.

  • How can I banish Sections entirely from Pages?

    They always stop me doing what I need to do - prinicipally, just moving single pages around to change the order.  Is there any way to switch Sections off by default?  Or, to kill them in Terminal??
    Please help me to do this, some kind person!
    Many thanks,

    Thanks Peter and fruhulda,
    To be more specific, I want to duplicate an existing page, exclusively to copy the formatting and layout - including defined media placeholders - into a new blank page.  Then I need to alter the text and change the photos for the next item in the series and so on. I'm using the Word Processing type of Pages doc, because I want the TOC function in this case.  Otherwise, I alway use layout with text boxes, since none of these Section problems apply..
    Inserting the section break at the end of a page alters the position of text in the following page - and it doesn't  dreate a section break in any case - for me.
    Coying and pasting also messes up the layout of the pasted section, and above all, photos aren't copied as well, which means going in and copying those manually.  which I could live with, if I didn't have the previous problem. That's why I need to right-click and duplicate - which works perfectly in Keynote, for instance, where luckily, Sections don't exist.
    So that's why I need a Terminal command!
    Any offers??

    i'm trying to delete a group of pages that i create but i don't find where i can do this

    Many thanks
    It would be really useful if we could do this in a near future, because we can save a folder as a new folder and then delete the group of pages we do nor need.

  • This sounds crazy, but I can't delete a document in Pages.  How do I do that?  duh.

    How do I delete an entire document in Pages?  I've tried and it won't go away!  I've used every key word/phrase I can think of to get an answer.  Thank you.

    If you have never saved it just close it and don't save.
    If you saved it, go to Finder where you saved it to (probably in your Documents folder), and drag the file to the trash.

  • How can one Delete a Template in Pages

    Can any one advise me how to delete Templates in Pages on my MacBook Pro?

    Not sure why one would want to delete a template? 
    You can close out the Template Chooser by hitting the red button.
    If you go to applications>iWorks>Pages> and control click on the app>this opens PackageContents>>Contents>Resources>Templates
    You can delete here. I would not advise it. I would have a back-up of your Pages.app or a system back-up incase something goes awry.
