Is it possible to create an Index in Pages '08?

I've searched the docs and scanned the forum, but I can't find any details (or even a mention) of document index creation. I'm using Pages to create technical books (moving from Word/Quark).
Is it possible to generate an index in Pages?

Hello
With the "in-the-box" features, the response is no.
But I'm not aware of every piece of code offered by third-party developers.
Maybe some one built such a tool.
After all, it would not be a huge task as the application is AppleScritable.
No, I'm not in the starting blocks

Is it possible to created secondary indexes on ODS in Production

Hi,
Is it possible to created secondary indexes on ODS in Production System. I need to create secondary indexes on ODS but it is already in production. Hence Can I directly create secondary indexes without transportation from dev to production?

Hi,
Secondary Indexes for DSO can be transported. For the transport the DSO objects needs to be transported (R3TR ODSO <technical name>.
Additionally, secondary Indexes are necessary quite often for DSO tables, which can be transported. In few cases you need indexes on other BW tables, but they cannot be transported. Never create additional Indexes on InfoCube tables (like E- and F-Fact tables and Dimension tables)
Thanks & B.R.

Creating a ToC with Pages for iOS doesn't seem possible. To let the good folks at Apple know how you feel, send your feedback to them:

Possible to create partitioned index one partition at a time?

I have a really large partitioned table. Wanted to know if I can create the partitioned index, one partition at a time? Trying to limit the amount of resources required to throw at it. Note this is not a rebuild or reindex operation. This is a brand new index on a multi-terabyte table.
.. just throwing this out there...
Thanks for any insights..

You can create the index "unusable", then alter each partition in turn to make it usable.
The side effects on optimisation and DML may vary with version of Oracle and whether the index is unique or non-unique.

Is there a way to create an index through Pages?

I would like to create an index for a book using Pages where I have created the book. Is there a tool in Pages that will set up an index automatically or more easily than using find and the page number?

You can use a Table of Contents but it is clumsy because it collects the entire paragraph of the selected style and then you have to move it to the back of the book.

Is it possible to create custom layouts in "Pages '09"?

Is it possible to create my own custom document layout size in "Pages '09", or am I stuck with the 8.5 X 11 templates?
I'd like to create a custom document layout 4.5 X 5 for a small flyer that I must design.

Is it possible to create my own custom document layout size in "Pages '09", or am I stuck with the 8.5 X 11 templates?
The answer is that you can set a custom x-y coordinate space or select a canned x-y coordinate space from the ISO A series or any of the industry and US national series.
This fact is not based on the application software, but on your own use of a digital graphic device that draws patterns of picture elements. Your display and your printer are digital graphic devices.
With a digital graphic device, the application, the OS and the driver don't communicate in ASCII control codes for carriage return and so forth.
The application, the OS and the driver communicate in x-y coordinate spaces within which you set other coordinates for typography frames and photography frames.
This is what you see in Apple Pages layout mode as well as in the layout mode of Microsoft Word, and in any version of Aldus PageMaker since 1985, QuarkXPress since 1987 and so on and so forth.
When you are done and have exported your design to disk as Adobe PDF, the x-y coordinate space you set for the design space can be seen as the Media Box in Apple Preview > View > PDF Display > Media Box.
If you set an x-y coordinate space that is larger than the x-y coordinate space, then it is device-independent. Apple Preview will by default scale the size down to the dimensions of your digital graphic display, will scale the resolution down in memory, will convert the scalable type to smooth bitmap type in memory, and will convert other colour spaces to the ICC colour space of your digital graphic device. Another digital graphic device with an x-y coordinate space that has another dimension can draw your design as is, draw scaled up, draw scaled down, or draw as is in tiles. This is how books and periodicals have been proofed and then printed for a quarter century.
Should be taught in school, though.

How do you create an Index in Pages?

Hi all,
I can see how you can create Headings but I can't see how you create an Index! Surely the point of creating Headings is so they can be referenced by an index, so if anyone's got any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them
ciao

Thanks Muhammad. As you say, this is okay for a table of contents, but not for an index.
The only option seems to be to create one 'manually'. I have found two suggestions to use a search to assist with this:
• one using find: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com.au/2008/01/how-do-i-create-index-in-pages.html
• another using Applescript: http://superuser.com/questions/84580/making-an-index-in-apple-iwork-pages
Perhaps this will be one of the pieces of functionality, along with other things like easily merging to labels, that will be added to the next version of Pages (please Apple)?

Is it possible to create new shortcuts for pages esp footnote

Hi
Is it possible to create shortcuts in Pages? Hidden preferences?
I'd like to have something for inserting footnotes.
Via thirdparty apps?
Thanks for hints

Martin, it's possible to create shortcuts for any menu item in any OS X application. You do this by going to the System Preferences, in the Keyboard and Mouse pane, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. See this posting for more details.
This is an extremely powerful feature of OS X, and it is unfortunate that is it not better known.

Possible to create a index on function

Dear friends,
Is there any option to create index on function.
Regards,
Mohankumar.N

In what way do you mean?
You can create function based indexes on a column if that is what you are referring to?
e.g. create index myidx on mytable (substr(forename,1,1));
which then allows that function to be performant when used in the where clause of a query.

How do you create an index in Pages 08?

Can you create an word index at the end of a research document in Pages 08? I've done this using Microsoft Word, but I can't find the function in Pages.
I'm brand new to the Mac world, btw.

This function is not available in Pages 08.
There may be a third-party application that can do this.
Good luck,
Terry
You might want to give Apple some feedback on this feature using the 'Provide Pages Feedback' option in the Pages menu.

Is it possible to create a new wiki page in wiki document library via Javascript Client Object Model?

I can find example using managed code, but I can get it translated to javascript code that I can use.
For example, this in managed code:
using
(SPSite
site = new
SPSite("http://sharepoint"))
  SPWeb
rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
  SPList
wiki = rootWeb.Lists["MyWiki"];
  SPFolder
rootFolder = wiki.RootFolder;
  SPFile
wikiPage = rootFolder.Files.Add(String.Format("{0}/{1}",
rootFolder, "My
Wiki Page.aspx"),
SPTemplateFileType.WikiPage);
When
I try to change that to javascript, I get a 'cannot find rootfolder'....
This
is what I have so far:
var pageName = "/digitalmerch/PageNotes/" + $('input[title="Page Name"]').val() + ".aspx";
//Get the current client context - creating the batch
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
site = context.get_web();
wiki = site.get_lists('PageNotes');
rootFolder = wiki.get_rootFolder();
wikiPage = rootFolder.get_files().AddTemplateFile(pageName), TemplateFileType.WikiPage);
context.load(wikiPage);
context.executeQueryAsync(CreatePage2Succeeded, CreatePage2Failed);
But I obviously haven't translated this into javascript correctly - the .get_rootFolder is undefined, and so the rootFolder.get_files().... is wrong as well.
Any hints?
Robin

Not specifically, this is on a standard list NewForm.aspx page - it should already be there. The code is in the PreSaveAction function, so by that time sp.js should be fully loaded on the page - I don't wait for it or use a ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(xxxx,"sp.js");
I know this is a syntax error somewhere. Also, all my objects are declared as global, so it shouldn't be anything like that..
And I see a typo above that I've fixed:
wikiPage = rootFolder.get_files().AddTemplateFile(pageName), TemplateFileType.WikiPage);
is actually
wikiPage = rootFolder.get_files().AddTemplateFile(pageName, TemplateFileType.WikiPage);
but that didn't help. I still get:
Object does not support get_rootFolder.
I've also tried splitting that part into the execution functions, making sure I load 'RootFolder' into the context, but that doesn't work either.

Is it possible to create a log in Pages?

I'm not sure I'm asking the right question:
What I would like to be able to do is to create a document that is easily updated by sorting subject matter into distinct groups.
For purpose of this thread lets just say that I am keeping notes about Fords and Chevys. And these notes can be further subdivided into. for instance, engines, brake systems and so on. But at the end of the day, I would like to have the option of sorting all of my notes so that all of the Ford brake notes end up under Fords > Ford Brakes and ditto with the Chevy notes. And - I would also like to just start entering data on the 'last page' and worry about sorting all the notes entered on another day.
I know this sounds like a job for FileMaker (maybe ...), which I have, but that seems like overkill to me when all I want to do is keep my notes organized. At the moment I am using TextEdit to do this but I am not able to sort individual notes and put them into their respective places. I hope I have explained this clearly enough to be understood.
A little voice is going, "What about OmniLiner, dummy?" Would this work? I have never read a word about this app.
ANY comments or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Funny you say that because I have been using Pages in table form to do just that. It works, but to be completely 'transparent', I have not spent much time tweaking it to determine just how far I can mold it to my wishes. For instance, If I could convert it into a Tab format that would be ideal. IOW, each tab would be sub-category, which no doubt you have already surmised.
At this moment I am trying to master Painter X which is a very difficult painting (obviously) app to master. When I learn something I must make note of it so I can refresh myself later on until it becomes second nature. I was using TextEdit for this, but soon realized that I had a wealth of info but none of which was organized. Bottom line: it was pretty much useless as a real reference. That was when I began using Pages in table form. In addition, I insert screen grabs to further clarify my notes
I will go back into Pages this afternoon and see what else I can glean from this app. I love Pages, so hopefully my tab wishes will be realized. The drawers are great, but they track pages not subjects which is what I need.
I really appreciate your help.

Create new index

Hi all,
How to create new index in table vbfa? and how to use this new index in select statement?
I have problem in tuning performance for some reports and SAP has recommended us to create new index.
Thanks alots
Alia

HI Alia,
You can create index from SE11.
Few Imp points :
1 ) For an index to create , You have the necessary user authorizations and the user attribute NOT EXCLUSIVE.
2) Indexes provide access to the table data using non-key columns plus If duplicate keys have already been inserted in the table, it is no longer possible to create the index. You must identify the incorrect keys and delete them.
3) Having Multiple index on the same table will also effect the performance.
You can create your own index also keeping in mind the above points.
Check this may also help you

Is it possible to create endnotes that restart with each section in Pages that will stay that way in epub?

I can create section endnotes in Pages, no problem. When I export to epub, the notes are all there and the links work perfectly, but the numbers run continuously throughout the document. Is it possible to create section endnotes in Pages that will survive the epub export?

I have a now-you-see-it now-you-don't and now-you-see-it-again suggestion from someone on this forum to try the new Pages upgrade which says it delivers improved epub export. Whoever you are--thanks for the suggestion--but I tried it and it doesn't make any difference to the notes, or anything else so far as I can tell.
