I need a 3-inch top margin on the first page of my letter and a 1-inch top margin on subsequent pages. How can I do this?

This is so easy in Word but I have spent 2 hours trying to figure it out in Pages. To print on my boss' stationary I need a 3-inch margin on the first page and a 1-inch top margin on the subsequent pages. When I change the top margin on page 2 in Inspector, it changes the top margin on page 1 to 1-inch as well. In Word this is an intuitive, 2-step process.

Hi Dan,
Don't confuse "intuitive" with "what I'm used to."
Pages has "Document" margins, which apply to all pages of the document, and "Layout" margins, which may be set to provide additional margin space in a layout.
Start by setting the Document margins to 1" all around. This is the default setting for the (word processor) Blank templates. You can check it (and adjust it if necessary) in the Inspector. Open an Inspector window (View > Show Inspector). Choose the Document Inspector (first button).
Switch to the Layout Inspector (second button). Remember that you already have a 1 inch top margin, so to produce a 3 inch margin before the beginning of this layout, you'll need to set a 2 inch Layout margin "Before" the layout.
Hmmm... Depending what you're defining as 'steps' for the process in word, and considering that the document margins in Numbers are preset to 1" all around, this appears to be a 1-step process in Numbers:
Step 1: Set the "Before" Layout margin to 2 inches.
Done.
Regards,
Barry

    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • HT1926 I am trying to install iTunes on a windows 7/64 OS.  The 32 bit version said that I need the 64bit version.  the 64 bit version says that it is not a valid 32 bit installation.  How can I fix this??

    I am trying to install iTunes on a windows 7/64 OS.  the 32 bit version said that I needed the 64 bit version.  The 64 bit version syas that it is not a valid Win32 application.  How do I get around this problem??

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I cannot open/download Word documents. I need to add it to applications, but the "open as" box does not pop up when I click on a link. How can I add Word to applications?

    When I click on a docx file, it works. Only a problem for older version Word and Excel files. When I click on the link, nothing happens. Word files are not listed in my "applications", but I have no way of adding it.

    %AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
    On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder

  • HT4859 I was in a car collision and need proof of my location when I called 911. How can I get this info. from my i phone device?

    I was in a car collision and need proof of my location when I called 911. The Police Dept., refused to respond, since there were no injuries.
    Now, I have a dispute with the other driver who is falsely stating accident happened at another intersection. In addition of calling 911 twice, I also took pictures of damages. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the intersection signs.
    My AT&T carrier states that this info. can only be disclosed by a subpoena. My insurance carrier states that they will not subpoena this info., since it is a civil case only.
    The Police Department does not keep records of calls they do not attend to.
    How can I get this location  info. from my i phone device if at all possible?
    Thanks,
    Pecosa

    Johnathan Burger,
    I did take photos of the damages to car and license plates, but NOT the intersection signs.
    How do I get the GPS Data in the exit data of photos? Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
    can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
    you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
    AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
    Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

  • Need to authorise new laptop after old one crashed.  Have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for 12 month "Deauthorise all computers" to become available again.  How can I authorise this new laptop?

    Hello... I need to authorise a new laptop after my old one completely died (before I could deauthorise it!!).  I have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for the 12 month "deauthorise all computers" option to become available again.  Does anyone know how can I authorise this new laptop as one of the 5, in place of the old one?  Any help gratefully received!

    Go to one of the authorized computers and de-authorize it individually.
    The one year limitation is ONLY for the de-authorize all option.

    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

    Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.

  • I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

    I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style.  I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
    - in a chosen story;
    - on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
    - in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
    If story...
    You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
    Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
    so:
    Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
    //==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
    If other cases...
    You would need to be more accurate.

    Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
    I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
    I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes. 
    After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
    The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
    Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this!
