ID 5.5 deleting pages and content without reflow

I'm designing a big book, and the author has decided to move the location of 10 pages of notes from the beginning to the end of the book.
No problem moving those pages to the end, but I can't for the life of me get rid of the pages from their original locations. Even when deselecting "Smart Flow" in Preferences/Type, the text wants to reflow. Because much of the book is poetry, some pages have different-sized text boxes, and I don't want to have to resize every single page because the program insists on reflowing everything.
Right now, I have blank pages (em-dashes with page breaks) in each of the pages I want to remove. I'd like to be able to just snatch them out & be done with it but the program doesn't allow it.
Can someone help me with this? I'm in InDesign 5.5 on a Mac.
Thanks,
Janet

Threaded text is tricky to work with. If you delete pages, the text ont hose pages is not delete, so it just reflows into the next page. You probably need to select the text you want to move, cut, then delete the pages it was on. Add new pages where you want it to be, and paste.

    What version of Pages?
    How did you first buy it?
    On what version of OSX?
    It sounds like you are in Maverick (OSX 10.9) not Lion (OSX 10.7.4) and have deleted Pages '09.

  • How can restore IMAC without deleting Pages and Keynote, which were loaded by Apple at order?

    I bought an IMAC OS X Mountain Lion in Dec 2012.  I am trying to prepare it for sale, and would like to clear off my personal information.  I see different questions about restoring to factory settings, but I'm unclear if this includes leaving Pages and Keynote on the IMAC.  These applications were installed by Apple when I order the IMAC, and I don't want them cleared off.  How can I clear my personal information without deleting this programs?
    Thanks so much!

    If you had the applications install, the software license belongs to you and isn't transferable. Information.

  • Two Apple IDs... deleting one and content lost?

    I have a several year old Apple ID that I must have created a while back, but didn't use much as I only had an iPhone... but it has my current gmail email address
    When I got my new iPhone, ipad and Mac, I couldn't rember what my Apple ID was (nor did I realize how difficult it would be resolve this issue in the future) amd created a second ID with an old comcast email account.  We are now getting rid of comcast and want to change the Primary email address for Apple ID to my current email / gamil account.... but I get an "email already in use" error message
    Understand that I can not combine the content, purchased into a single ID but I am OK loosing the content, the price to pay to work around a difficult software.
    How do I delete the apple ID with a gmail account and then after I delete that I can change the email addres on the comcast account back to my primary gmail account?  Is there a way to see the amount of content associated with my two apple IDs?
    Thanks
    Rob

    You can't delete an account, but you can try logging into the old account via this page and change it's primary email address to be something else : http://appleid.apple.com - you can then try updating your new account to have that new email address on it.
    You can see the purchase history of an account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - if you log into your account via that then on your account's page there should be a Purchase History section with a 'see all' clickable link next to it.

  • Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

    Hi.
    I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
    I created 2 regions.
    Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
    Region 2, root folder from my content area
    When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
    Is this by design?
    What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Phillip

    Phillip,
    The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
    Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

  • Deleting PAGE and ROLL files

    Hello,
    We are migrating to ECC6 Ehp4 / WAS701.
    In our current systems, during offline backups, we delete the PAGE and ROLL files:
    `/bin/rm /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<nr>/data/PAGFIL<nr>`;
    `/bin/rm /bin/rm /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<nr>/data/ROLLFL<nr>`;
    1. Is still worth doing this in WAS700 EhP1?
    2. What is the benefit of doing so?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Benoît,
    I was thinking that my colleagues were doing that to clean a possible corruption or something like that.
    Would you know if it was the case with old version of Netweaver
    I didn't face with that problem from release 3.0F on. It might be very specific case.
    If it is just to gain space temporary, it is not really useful.
    Yes, you are exactly, correct,
    Best regards,
    Orkun

  • I've deleted Pages and Keynote because they were not working, and can't install them now.

    Good morning. First of all, sorry for my english, i'm spanish.
    Today I've tried to open Pages to write a document, and the App would not open. When I click the icon, the App Store opens instead and says if i want to purchase the app. I've tried to say yes, because i thought this may be an update, but when i click yes, it says its unable to do anything.
    So, i've tried with keynote and the behaviour was the same. Click on the icon and the app store opens with the same message. Numbers works fine. I'm on Mavericks, so nothing to do with Yosemite.
    I've uninstalled Pages and Keynote because i thought that with the update from the other day, these two apps my have been corrputed, and i was going to install them again, but my surprise is that when I look for Pages, instead of letting me install it, it appears that i have to pay 17,99€ when i always had it for free!!
    I've got a Macbook Pro 13" Retina late 2013 for a few months, and this is my first issue. Whan can i do? I Had these apps for free, and i don't want to expend so much money in two apps.
    I really need help. Thank you.

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • Publishing pages and modules without the extra stuff in trial site

    There are so many pre-populated modules and layouts in the trial site.  Before I publish the actual pages I want, do I deleted the extra stuff? Or, do I just publish the ones I want and the other stuff will remain hidden unless I publish them?  I don't want the extra stuff that I don't need to show up on the website I created.  In other words, will the site publish everything on the layout of the trail site and I need to delete those I don't need? Or, do I just publish the ones I need and don't touch the rest.  If so, I would have to remember which one I need and which ones I don't.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Clear things up Kim, important to ensure there are are no things generating urls you do not want to be indexed or modules rendering on templates you do not need to speed up your site etc.
    This will be something you will get if you use a template from a trial site etc. You can of course start a clean blank trial site as well and work from scratch if you want to.
    Hope that helps.
