Is it possible to flip text and tables 90º on a page?

Hi, I am working on a blank template word processing document that I imported from Word. It is in a US letter page layout. I am working with tables and text, and would like a few of the pages to be rotated into a horizontal format, so that the tables and text are formatted in a vertical direction.
I can do this in Word via the text direction option, I was wondering if and how I can do this in Pages. Sorry if I'm unclear, I am not sure what to call the format. If you imagine a standard table flipped 90º on a page, and with the text flipped 90º as well, that is what I am wishing to achieve.
Thanks,
Walt

Page orientation is set on a per-document basis & you cannot have both in the same document. However, you can create the same effect using text boxes & other floating objects rotated 90 or 270 degrees.

How do I combine text and photos on the same page in iPhoto using photobook?

You mean while creating a book in iPhoto? Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos. Most themes will have those options.

How to center title text and table across two columns

Hello,
I want to be able to center a table and its title across a two column page. The pages where I want to do this contain text in both columns or text in the left column and graphics in the right. On the same pages as the text and graphics, I'd like to center, across both columns, a table with a title. What is the best way to do this?
If I insert the table in the left column, I can size it to fit over both columns but I can't type directly into the cells that cover the right column (I can type in the cells covering the right column if I Tab to them but it's tedious and doesn't seem right). With the table's title, I've tried using the Across All Columns paragraph setting, but the text stays in the column the paragraph marker is in.
We are using Frame 8 on Windows XP Professional. The Master pages are Right and Left pages that are set up with two columns, both tagged as A with the Autoconnect feature on so that the text flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, equal-sized columns. No, they're always equal. And that answers
David's question: you're using two frames because you want unequal columns.
Frame's paragraph-level column controls only work on columns made by
dividing a single frame into two or more columns. So you're back to
square one: you need two frames because your columns are unequal; you
need one frame so you can span columns.
Another possibility is that you might set up your document with a
sidehead column, but I hesitate to recommend this because I still can't
quite envision what your layout looks like. Any chance you can post a
PDF somewhere?

How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
Somebody with an idea?
Thanks for your help!

To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

Is it possible to set text and rotatation in stored table formats?

I have a table that is a good candidate to be a table format because it will be resued many times. The heading text will not change and some of the text is rotated, so I'd like to store that too. Is there a way to do this in FM9? Here's a sample of what I'm aiming for. Any portion (text itself or rotation style) that can be set in the table format tag would be helpful.
Thanks,
Dave

I'm reasobably sure that table formats can't have any text in them. Tables with formatting and canned text are one of the things I use most frequently in my Auto-Text definitions. Auto-Text is a plug-in I wrote that is useful for inserting canned items into FrameMaker documents. You can learn about it here:

Text and table structure getting jumbled up in the smartform output

Hi all ,
While viewing the print preview of a smartform output , i am facing a strange issue.
The hardcoded text is getting jumbled up .For eg:"As soon as possible" becomes " as possible . soon as"
The structure of the table is also getting reversed.That is the table is now getting displayed with the last couloum first.The data in the table is also coming in the reverse order.
While executing the smartform directly , the layout is coming in the proper order.But while executing this through a transaction (FINT) , this issue is coming up.The print program is a standard program.
I have tried deleting the window , copying it to a new smartform etc.I have also tried in different systems to check whether if it is an issue with the system.
If anyone has faced a similar issue , please let me know how to solve it.Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hi
Please check the Printout rather the print Preview. and also check the Structure/table entries also that u printing and also if u r using template, then check the assignment 1 of 1 , etc to the texts.

Oracle Text and table joins

Is it possible to create an index on a view as opposed to a table, when using Oracle Text?

Thanks for the earlier response.
I was also loooking at Oracle Ultra Search. I figured out that Ultr search provides out of the box query application to do free-form text search, parameterized search and so on....
I also read that Oracle Ultra search uses Oracle text as the underlying technology to do the search.
I have a requirement where most of my searches will be on structured data spread across multiple tables. But I also have a requirement to index some static content which resides on the file system.
Is it possible to mix and match query results i.e. first perform a search on the structured data and then perform another search on the static document data and then megre results from both and display back to the user?
Thanks for the help

Conditional text and table numbers

I have a source doc from which I am going to generate two user guides (I am new at this). I have two conditional tags set, which I plan to show/hide as required to generate the final PDFs.
First snag: I have a products specification table, which is different for each guide. Using auto numbers, I have created the first table (1-1).
Then I add the second table (prod specs for the other product). It of course shows up as table 1-2 (and all sequential tables will be misnumbered). Using the Show/Hide command, I see the correct table.
How do I get correct sequential table numbers for each end document?
Thanks very much.

> ... FrameMaker help refers to these as "series labels."
Thanks for the further clarification, Mike.
Just poking around on this, it's unclear exactly how many different series labels one can have. Some sources say we're limited to 53:
default(no letter), A: to Z:, a: to z:
Some sources say it's 63:
default(no letter), A: to Z:, a: to z:, 0: to 9:
which also seems to work.
Curiously enough some other single characters appear to work as well. I just tried @:, #:, non-breaking hyphen (\x15) and generic currency symbol (\xdb) for example (this is in FM7.1, entered as \x hex codes). I suspect most basic Frame roman single "standard" characters might work, which would imply a possible 255 or so counters. Two-letter labels just get treated as literal text, as would any multi-byte Unicode I suspect.
Adobe has no published "best practices" for series labels, but if one searches around the web, a common theme develops on conventions. Any shop would be well advised to pick a convention, and (note to self) write it down, for example:
B: body (ordinary paragraphs)
C: call-outs
F: figures
H: headings (volume, chapter, section, etc.)
O: outline
S: steps
T: tables

AdHoc Query - possible to choose text and value for a field

Hi
One of our infosets is based on the LDB for travel (PTRVP).
For this infoset, PERNR is delivered from P0001.
However, this field does not deliver a text, so the user cannot choose "value and text" as they can for PERNR in the LDB PNPCE. The only difference seems to be that PNPCE fetches PERNR from P0000.
Can anyone tell me how to provide text options for the field?
I have tried the method described in IMG with no luck (probably doing something wrong).
Should mention that I am no expert programmer.
Thanks
Kirsten

The Text in PERNR is just the Employee Name (ename). The users can get that from IT0002 anyways. They can choose Last name, First name or ename.

Text and Table in the same line (Smartform)

Hello,
we have a problem related with a smartform, it contains dynamic tables and we need to do a form like this:
Text1     Wa_tab-f1[1]      Wa_tab-f2[1]
Text2     Wa_tab-f1[2]      Wa_tab-f2[2]
Text3     Wa_tab-f1[3]      Wa_tab-f2[3]
(As I cannot print the form well, I will try to explain it:)
Text1, Text2, Text3 don´t need frames!! the other fields YES. I have been testing trying a lot of solutions but I have allways the same result: When I start to print frames for Wa_tab-f1 I allways get a new line....
Do you know a solution for this?
Thanks.
Fernando.
Edited by: Fernando Luengo on Oct 29, 2010 6:49 PM

Hello Fernando,
why don't you simply define a table with 3 columns. In the line definition you paint a frame around the second and the third cell in the line (this might be a bit tricky. if you use the button for the frame around the cell for the 2nd and then for the 3rd cell it deletes the frame between the cells so better mark the cell sides one by one.).
Best Regards

Is it possible to block texts and only receive imessages when traveling?

I am traveling to Europe, and I was wondering if there is an option to block text messages and only send and receive imessages through wifi?

iMessage over cellular will be increasingly more expensive as that would use Data while roaming. Regular text messages do not need data. Unless you want to only use Wifi while traveling, in which case yes, set the Phone to Airplane Mode and just turn on Wifi.
By the way, Turning on Arplane mode will prevent any calls form coming in either. Text messages an calls use the same system which you would be turning off in Airplane mode.

Can I possibly enlarge the headers and footers in Firefox's "Page Setup" menu to enlarge it so I can see it better...or is it something I'm gonna have to deal with being SO SMALL. Mike Lomax

I'd like to have the headers and footers enlarged like IE8 browser is. The headers and footers are pretty small.

This appears to be hard-coded in Firefox to 10 point type, unlike most other settings which allow a user setting to override the default.
One partial workaround is to change your default serif font to something larger than Times New Roman. For example, the text seems at least a point size larger if I use Bookman Old Style.
Tools > Options > Content > Advanced... "Serif"
Of course, less of the URL or Title will fit this way...
Notes on the Fx code:
File:
\mozilla-2.0\layout\generic\nsSimplePageSequence.cpp
Code:
mPageData->mHeadFootFont->size = nsPresContext::CSSPointsToAppUnits(10);
I don't know how to suggest code changes, but it really would be nice for the point size to be configurable (even if the user has to go into about:config to change it).

Moving Text and Objects Around on One Page

Hi All
I am Using Acrobat X
I have 36 pages from a pdf printed onto one (without borders) using Adobe PDF printer - Attached image, Sorry please advise if there is a way to attach the actual pdf, I couldnt find one.
These are notes for an exam and given we are only allowed to take in one A4 page, I need to squash these up. Ideaaly i want to be able to highlight certain bits and drag them to other areas.
Note
- The current size of the text is legible when printing
- Taking a screenshot using that tool will not suffice due to quality reduction as the text is so small. Everything is currently vector quality
- I don't have the word docs for these

Hi there,
I can't really think of a good way of doing this in Acrobat without a very round-about workflow.
I would suggest you download and install the trial of Adobe Illustrator. Place your PDF file into a new Illustrator document (Size A4). The PDF file will exceed the document size, but you should be able to see printable area and the PDF spilling over the artboard. Then use the tools in Illustrator to re-arrange the content within the confines of the printable area you need.
