Inserting Hyperlinks in Pages Documents

I am writing a document in Pages with the intent of posting it at blogsite where I have editing privileges. I cannot, however, figure out how to highlight a portion of the text and link that text to a URL address. Can this be done with Pages?

Here is what is occurring when I attempt to insert a hyperlink in a Pages document:
1. When I click on the Inspector button and check the hyperlink box the following URL address appears (as though it were a default) http://livepage.apple.com/
2. This URL address will also appear in the Pages document that I am working on. I then have to return to the document and remove this URL address before continuing.
3. If I delete this particular URL address from the Link Box and paste in the URL address I want, the highlighted text in the document appears with a rectangular shaped box around the words I want hyperlinked but there is no link established.
4. These events are all quite puzzling because I had assumed that inserting a hyperlink was a fairly easy process. I looked in the Pages' Help section to verify my understanding before I even made my initial attempt to insert a hyperlink. After continually failing to do so, I posted a message that Dennis was kind enough to respond to but I am still pretty much stuck.

Insert filename in Pages document

When I was working with Word for Windows there was an insert feature that allowed me to insert the path and filename in my documents. Very helpful since I do a lot of correspondence and keeping track of letters can get hectic. I've looked high and low and don't see that in Pages.

This feature is not available "in thebox"
You may go to my iDisk:
<http://idisk.me.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
and download:
foriWork:for_Pages:paste_thepath.zip
It contain two scripts.
One which pastes the pathname at the Insertion point.
One which insert the pathname at the end of the document.
I apologize but at this time I don't know the way to insert at the insertion point

How to insert a math symbol in a pages document

I have a nonstandard math symbol to insert inot a pages document. Please explain how to do it.

If it is really non-standard, like not in Unicode, then you would have to use an image. For things in Unicode, try an app like Cymbol or search the app store for "equation".

Image blurred after import into pages documents?

Hi there, I've been working on the user manual of my software these days. I found out that everytime I took screenshots, they were clear --- as clear as the screen, and after inserting to my pages documents, the images got blurred badly.
I've checked the size, and they were identical, which means there are no resizes.
I thought it was the difference of the resolution: screen was 72 dpi, and maybe pages uses higher dpi? So I converted my images to 300 dpi, and they are still blurred after insertion.
Thanks everyone!
I am really in a hurry since this user manual is going to be printed in the next few days~!
thanks!

Where are they blurred? In Pages or on the print out?
If in Pages, are you sure you display the pages at 100% (identical to the screen shot)?
I am not able to reproduce your problem unless I either resize the screen shot in the Pages document or change the page view to something different from 100%.
I do not have a printer, but my guess is that the printout would look fine, even if you resize the screen shot, so it looks blurry on screen.

I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns. How do I decrease the height of the column. Have tried to use cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset the top border.

Set your columns back to one for the moment. In layout mode, insert a Text box. Place it in the upper left corner of your document, and drag down and right to the size of the container for your two columns. Click inside the Text Box, and now bump up your columns to 2. Your two columns are now contained in this resizable Text Box.

How can I create a two columns zone in a Pages document without making all of the document two columns?

I have a Pages document with 4 paragraphs. I want the first one to be separated in two columns, but just this one.

Click in the text where you want this:
Menu > Insert > Layout Break twice.
Between those breaks:
Inspector > Layout > Layout > Columns: 2

How to insert blank page into pages document when using word processing mode?

I've recently created a 50+ page document using Pages '09. I started the document using word processing mode. Now, when I view in thumbnail mode and try to insert a blank page somehwere in the middle of the document, it won't allow me to select where I want. It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section. I believe this is because I am in word processing mode. My question is, can I convert the document to layout mode so that each page represents it's own section, without losing what work I've already done? And if so, how?
The document is entirely text boxes and images, so I don't have any need for word processing space. I just need new pages to act as blank templates for the text boxes and images I create.
Is it possible to keep all my work as is, and convert the document to layout mode vs. word processing mode?
Thanks!

It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section.
That's because they are one section. You must insert section breaks to separate them. There is no need to use page layout which does make each page a separate section. You have to manually add each page & use text boxes or other containers for the text & link the text boxes.

How can I insert an additional page without screwing up the master layouts? I have a document with multiple sized pages and the same master applied to each page.

My document is currently 10 pages. There are 5 different sizes of the pages. They all have the same master page applied to them. When I go to insert a new page and/or duplicate a page...it screws up where the master layout goes. Surely there is simple way to do this??
For example:
These pages are all inserts for a sales folder.
Pages 7 and 8 are sized at 8.5" w X 10.25" h. Pages 9 and 10 are sized at 8.5" w X 11" h.
I need to duplicate page 8 and have it go between 8 and 9 and it needs to be sized like pages 7 and 8 (or 8.5" w X 10.25" h)
When I go to to do this, it screws up the master page layout for the remaining pages of the document.
I have tried several ways to do this. Can anyone help??
Thanks!

Try to define 5 different master pages.

How do I insert checkboxes into a Pages document?

I have been trying to insert checkboxes into a document I created using Pages version 2.4.2 on my iPad Air. I would like an actual checkbox (not just the image of an empty box) so that a checkmark will appear once it has been selected. I am able to do this with the "Numbers" app, but I cannot copy and paste those check boxes to a Pages document.
I want to use this document as a form I can easily access and print with checkboxes. I have only found a way to insert bullets, but not checkboxes that you can click on with your finger and a check mark appears in the checkbox.
Thank you!

I think you are misunderstanding "Insert text at cursor". The ANNOTATIONS are not text editing tools, rather they are tools for people making comments to "mark up" documents. You use "Insert text at cursor" to tell the document author you want HIM OR HER to insert text at that point; the author reviews all the comments and changes the original.
You need to use one of the OTHER methods mentioned to actually add text. Probably simplest is the typewriter tool, which in Acrobat X is under TOOLS > CONTENT and is called ADD OR EDIT TEXT BOX.

Inserting Form Fields in Pages Document

Does anyone know if it is poossible to insert a form field into a pages document just like what can be done is a Word document? I would like the ability to develop a template that has some drop-down menus throughout the document (for different variables) so I can reuse the template in various scenarios by simply selecting the appropriate info from each menu.
Example:
"Your time horizon is Menu Choice (drop-down with: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, greater than 10 years).
I'll I've been able to find is the mail merge feature. But I'm not looking to merge data from my contacts.

No you can't lock the document. If you even lock the textboxes you can't type into them.
I'm a supposed expert (I use countless DTP apps) and I don't find Pages easy at all. In fact for many tasks it is quite a kludge.
But the templates are nice.

Inserting text into a Pages document with Applescript

I want to create a Pages document from a custom template but be able to insert text at various points in the document (inputted data under headings etc). I would like to use Applescript but cannot get insertion points to work, is this possible? As usual, all help gratefully accepted.

I have made a Pages template that contains tables and I want to enter text into sections of these tables
That's a completely different story! But that's still possible using GUI Scripting. Here's an example:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    select table 1 of body text of front document
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
        set theWindow to window 1 whose role description is "standard window"
        click button "Table" of tool bar 1 of theWindow
        keystroke "Cell A1"
        keystroke tab
        keystroke "Cell B1"
        key code 125 -- down arrow
        keystroke "Cell B2"
        -- and so on
    end tell
    select insertion point after table 1 of body text of front document
end tell
