Is it possible to have a full page of text?

Question

I would like to create a book with a page of just text. I cannot find a page layout that will let me do this. Has anyone been able to accomplish this task?

Jonathan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have a full page of text but you have to create an image file of the text and put it in a one photo per page layout like this. Create the text in your text editor with the Page Setup set to Landscape. When you have the text as you want it, go to the Print window, click on the PDF button and select Send PDF to iPhoto. That will create a 200 dpi jpeg file for that page and import it into iPhoto where you can use it in the book. A word of caution: this is an Automator processs and when the conversion is done and ready to import a window will come up asking you to select an album or name a new one to put the file. This window does not always come to the front so make sure you have all other windows minimized. Then minimize iPhoto's window and you'll see the Automator window. I sat for 30 minutes the first time and aborted the process before I realized what was happening.
You can also have the text in the portrait orientation if you'd like.
With an application like Word or Pages you can fancy up the text page more than TextEdit can.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
