Is there a "book layout" in Pages?

Please help a complete beginner....is there a way to format the layout of the pages in the Pages application?
I've typed about 6 pages of text and would like to create an A5 size booklet with this, but I'm not sure how to set this layout.
If anyone could offer some advice I'd be really grateful. Thank you.

If you are using Pages v5(.2), you can select the Document icon from the Toolbar, and temporarily set the Paper Size to A5. Your document content will reflect this change. You can then export to PDF, ePub, or using the File > Print > PDF sequence, you can add the PDF to iBook. If you get the free Create Booklet PDF Plug-in, you can also do File > Print > PDF > Create Booklet. It still works on OS X 10.9.4.
Another tool that does imposition on an existing PDF and produces a booklet is the shareware ($35) Cheap Imposter.  I just downloaded and tried it on OS X 10.9.4 and it seems to work. It provides the ability to change the Paper size, margin offsets, and document zoom factor. The preferences for Cheap Imposter optionally allow you to install a PDF Print service, so that it works like Create Booklet above.

  • Are there address book templates for Pages?

    Does anyone know of an Address Book template available for Pages?

    I know that.

  • Book project (80 page) after two days lost the layout! Help

    Working on a project for two days then the layout just gone. The collection is still there. Is there anyway to get it back?
    If not its a bummer! Maybe you can build in a backup function. 10 hours i will never get back!

    I just went in again to replicate the issue and discovered something else.
    I started by creating a new collection as above and used the 1 photo per page preset.
    Auto Layout placed the photos in the new pages
    ** select one image and Right Click to remove photo.>>> all photos disappeared, but blank pages remained.
    (This behaviour doesn't replicate if the cell padding has not been altered. If using the vanilla Blurb preset, this does not occur.)
    Now I manually added photo #1 to page 1 and all the photos came back with the exception of the one I had removed.
    *** 2nd Test
    -Went to Library Module, selected Collections and created a new collection
    -Selected images and moved them to new collection manually (grab and drop into new collection)
    -Went to new collection
    -Selected Book Module
    -Previous book displayed. Selected Clear Book.
    -Now I have a blank cover and a blank page.
    -Selected page 1
    -Modified cell padding (a) link all = 100 then (b) unlink all, bottom = 165
    -grab and drop one image to page 1
    -Copy (Cntrl-Shift-C) and Paste (Cntrl-Shift-V) new blank pages
    -Select Auto Layout and all images from filmstrip move correctly to blank pages.
    -Right Click one image and remove photo>>> all images disappear but blank pages remain
    -Replace image #1 on page #1 and all but the removed photo reappear.
    -Save book inside the collection that produced it.
    -Go to different book inside a different collection
    -Come back to test book and all pages show the same image. Can't fix.
    I think that captures all my steps. I'm really interested in seeing this module work properly, it's a very welcome feature.

  • Help please with Page Numbers & Facing Pages in Book Layout

    I am having some dramas with my book project which is 168 pages including cover.  I have created 22 different documents for the chapters and other pages.  I had everything in a book and have been able to create a PDF, but then I needed to remove the cover so it can be printed separately and to change the page numbering to start at 1 after the contents page.
    When I added numbers after the Contents page, it pushed all the pages out of order - ie what was previously sitting on the left was now sitting on the right etc.
    Removing the cover also impacted on individual spreads.
    Since then I have:
    - Updated my program to resolve an issue where Indesign kept shutting down when I tried to change page numbers.
    - Recreated the book twice, but find the spreads are all out of whack as I add them - doesn't appear to be auto paginating.
    - Called Adobe and got given tutorials that have not helped me resolve the issue because I have followed the tutorials but it hasn't resolved the issues I am having.
    Is there a way that you can stop autopagination and tell the pages which side they need to be on?  I currently have one chapter finishing on an even number of pages and the next starting on an odd, even though there are an even number of pages in that chapter, which is bizarre?  How do I fix this please?
    I would sincerely appreciate anyone who can tell me how to fix this.  I have read and watched so many tutorials showing how to set it up but there doesn't appear to be any that help with trouble shooting when you have followed the process but something bizarre happens.
    Is there a way that you can dictate the sides that the pages should be on?  Can you turn off the auto pagination anywhere?  This is an urgent request.
    Thanks,
    Hayley
    PS  I started in CS6 and am now using CC.

    A few things to consider:
    Not all books are the same, but many begin on page one, which is a right page, and as it follows, all odd pages will be on the right with even pages on the left. If your book had the cover as part of the book, I wonder if that meant that your first page was on the left?
    Books leaves hold two pages (front and back), and therefore book page counts need to be divisible by two. You say your book is 168 pages including the cover, which you moved to another document, leaving 167 book pages. If you were counting the back page, that might make for a 166 page book, which would be OK, but depending on how it will be printed, the page count may need to be divisible by 4, 8, 16, or higher, and the printer may need to add blank pages to get to the correct page count. Can you tell us how your book will be produced?
    Many people like to keep  their chapters in even-numbered page count, so that new chapters may start on the right. This sometimes requires you to have a blank left-sided page at the end of some chapters. This blank page is sometimes labeled "This page intentionally left blank" or some such wording (so as to let the reader know there wasn't a misprint), but isn't strictly necessary. Sometimes an ornament in the center of the page will do the same job.
    Do you think these are things you would like to have in your book, or are you opposed to them for any reason? The answers may narrow the advise you get from the forum users.

  • Why can't I change an iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) photo book layout without the page going blank?

    When working on a photo book, I can initially drag and drop photos into the predetermined photobook layout designs without any problems.  But when I want to change one of the pages from the iPhoto predetermined layout (e.g. from a 2 photo layout to a 4 photo layout) the page will go blank (by that I mean it will only have the background design) and will no longer allow me to add photos to the page, or choose a text only layout, or any layout other than a blank background design.  I can delete the page which won't let me add photos anymore, and then add a new page which will, but the page layout is again a predetermined layout, which I want to change (e.g. a 2 photo layout, when I want a 4 photo layout).
    As stated in the question, I'm running iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2, updated via the App Store in November 2012.  I'm running the program on a 2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with OSX (10.8.2).
    Please help.

    Sound like you're trying to drag a photo to a folder which will automatically create a new album in that folder titled "Untitled".  Make sure it's an album and not a folder you're trying to drag to.

  • Custom package layout problem when there are more than 6 pages

    When I add a seventh page to a custom package layout for printing whatever changes that are made to that page take affect on page 1 not on page 7, i.e. if a I rotate a cell on page 7 the affect is not seen on page 7 but it is on page 1 which messes up the layout on page 1, and if I add an eighth page any changes made to it are seen on page 2 and so forth.  How do I prevent this so changes made to pages after page 6 are independent of the earlier pages?

    There are a number of Bugs in Firefox that can cause that to happen. A few of those Bugs have been fixed for Firefox 4.0, but the developers decided not to "backport" those fixes to 3.6.x or 3.5.x for some reason.

  • Is there a user manual for Pages 5.2 (1860)?

    I built my book in Pages 09. After updating to Pages 5.2, I have to reset document and section information. I will think twice before agreeing to download a Pages update in the future.
    The first page of each chapter is bigger than the other pages and doesn't have a header / footer. I want to know how to have headers and footers on all pages.
    I also want to know whether I need to convert it to the Page Layout format.
    Help!
    Thank you.

    Only the on-line Help under the Help menu and that is way short of adequate.
    You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, no need to use Pages 5.2, in fact there are 110 reasons not to:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=424&mforum=iworktips ntrick
    If you convert your file to Page Layout it will delete all your content. Also Pages 5.2 has no Textbox linking nor Facing Pages, which makes a book layout well nigh impossible.

  • Change book layout master

    i have searched and seen this question asked, but not answered. i want to change the book layout so that it starts up with the metadata format that i want rather than having to change each page. there must be a way to do this permanently rather than changing the masters when i start a new book.

    Without doing a lot of experimenting with this, I presume a workable solution is to create a dummy book that has your custom settings. Then duplicate that book whenever you want to start a new book project.
    Otherwise it probably requires using BBEdit to amend the book layouts in the Aperture Package folder and I wouldn't know where to begin with that (well, I have changed fonts that way).

  • Customize text on Book Album Master Page?

    How can I change the text style of the text in a metadata text box on a Book Album Master Page, other than selecting from the limited choices in the "Set Text Style" drop-down list?  I would like to customize the font family, size, and color.
    I am working with a Custom Theme (having given up on modifying the existing themes).
    I can change the text parameters applied to the text boxes on the Master Page, but those changes are not applied to the text boxes based on that Master Page (even after reapplying the Master).  Those changes _are_ "held" by the text boxes on the Master Page, however.
    Thanks!

    With Metadata Boxes, when I select the box in "Edit Layout" mode, no changes made via the Fonts dialog are applied.
    The metadata boxes seem to be built rigidly into the themes.
    Assuming that is correct  , is there any way to add to or modify the styles shown in the "Set Text Style" drop-down?
    I have not tried to change the behaviour. There is a list of textstyles for the custom book template inside the Aperture Application bundle:  
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate/TextStyles.plis t
    When I open this file in Xcode I am seeing a list of fonts for Title, Cover Title, etc.
    The EXIF properties are formatted in
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate/TextStyles.plis t
    Probably you could create a new custom template by creating a copy of /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate  and editing these files in the copy, but as I said, I never tried this.

  • Can I recover an iPhoto Book layout that I was working on?

    I was creating the final pages of a 45+ page book, and was asked "do you want to remove the placed photos..." from what I assumed was the photo pane side bar (but turned out to be the placed photos on my book).  I mistakenly said yes since this would have helped me to see only the photos I hadn't placed yet. Long stroy short, it looks like I lost all of my hard work.  The "Undo" option, was not available to me.  Is there anything I can do to recover where I was with my book layout short of starting over?

  • Switching back to Book Layout Editor

    As I'm arranging my pictures in my first Aperture book, there are a couple of photos that need a few simple adjustments. For the most part, this means lightening some of the darker, shadows, areas. I'm editing my book in "Split View" mode of course, within the Book Layout Editor mode. If I double-click on a picture thumbnail at the bottom and switch from the Library to Adjustments tab on the left-hand side I can make my simple changes. When I'm done, how do I "escape" the adjustments window? If I click back to the "Library" tab my book is already highlighted. If I double-click the book under the lists of projects in the Library tab, it edits the name of the book but I don't return to the Book Layout Editor mode. My single picture I just made an adjustment on remains on the screen. If I click the "Split View" icon in the toolbar, I get back to the split view of all my pictures in the book but there's still no Book Editor Mode... What am I missing? I can get back to the book by selecting another project (or book) and the re-selecting the book I was just working on from my list of "Projects & Albums", but this seems really klunky. Depending on which project I choose, this takes a moment as well. How do I return to my book after making an adjustment on a picture?
    -Doug

    Thanks for that. I thought I had clicked on every icon possible already. To get that icon back, though, I still have to switch from "single" image back to "split view" first. Is there a keyboard command for that besides cycling through the views?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

  • [BUG] Upgrade corrupts photo book layouts!

    Here's something to add to the plethora of bugs in iLife'11. Whenever I open a photo book that was created with an earlier version, I briefly see the "Upgrading photo book…" message, and after that, all photos are default-zoom and centered at their spots in the book layout!
    I have >20 books in my library and a lot of effort went into making their layout just perfect. The problem does not yet appear in iPhoto 8.1.2, I have been experimenting with several "upgrade paths" from iPhoto 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.0.1 now. It is clearly a problem in iPhoto 9.
    When going directly from iPhoto 7 to 9, by the way, you lose all the key photo selections that you have done in your events (>200 for me…), as already reported here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12495859&#12495859
    So if any of you are also keeping their photos in nicely layouted photo books, I strongly recommend waiting with the upgrade to iLife'11 until Apple fixes the upgrade process to NOT destroy any data.

    Same problem here with all photo books!
    iPhoto '11 does in fact display a warning after the update, something like "update successful, but please check before ordering". Well, I checked, and I found all books are corrupted (zoom and offset are wrong as described above).
    This dialog however is a pathetic way of dealing with the (apparently known!) problem, Apple!
    Even worse, I noticed that TimeMachine backup (inside iPhoto) does not list photo books, so the only way back (after wiping iPhoto 11 from the hard drive and re-installing the previous version) seems to be to replace the whole iPhoto Library manually (I sincerely hope that the photo books are stored in there and not anywhere else - does anyone know for sure?)
    There also is no way to export a photo book (apart from non-editable PDF) and to re-import it on another MacOS installation (with an earlier version of iPhoto), is there? So until I find a solution and the time to try it out, I need to keep my pre-update backup of the whole iPhoto Library. And I must not make any significant changes to the new library, because there very probably is no way of merging those changes into the old one.

  • Why there are no layout in number 3.0 ????????

    why there are no layout in number 3.0 ????????
    I need to export the number file to PDF file , I don't want all of the pages are together , I need to seperate the pages in PDF file , I need the PDF file with layout function , just like previous version .
    why are this useful function missing in new version ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    All we know here is that the new version of Numbers is significantly different than the old version of Numbers. We didn't write the specifucation nor do we know what the objectives were for the redesign, other than Apple's stated desire to make the three platform versions of Numbers as compatible as possible across platforms. That's the best "why" we can give you.
    Thanks for using only one exclamation point in your last post.
