Is there a page layout ruler?

I've modified the sizes of the pictures on the pages but now I have no way of checking if they're evenly spaced. The yellow gridlines pop up so I can tell that they're aligned according to each other, but not if they are evenly spaced on the page (ie are the borders all 1inch?). Is there a ruler or a grid that can be applied to check this?

I have a similar problem. If any one lets me know I will try to share with you.
I have created a journal which is clearly too long. It is slow and often crashes. I decided yo duplicate the journal so I could delete pages from both so I ended up with two journals from the original one. Hence making it faster and more reliable.
Now I am unable to edit either journal as they crash on pressing the edit button.
Advice welcome, please.

Is there any way to select a page layout and save it to the 'Add Pages' menu bar on the left of IBA?

This would be extremely helpful as there is no way in IBA 1 to copy and paste 'lines' from one page to another.
Ken

Look at the steps in my first reply to open the LAYOUT page by dragging the BOOK page slider down ... do this in the Life on Earth Template. click on the 2 column template page to open it.
Select ONLY the lines you want. Remember toi open the Inspector at LAYOUT, second icon from left, and with teh lines selected, tick the Layout Object box ro enable ediiting, COPY the lines you want, open your Contempory based book.
Follow the above procdure COPY the 2 col layout page and rename it, Open the page and paste the lines you copied. They should drop into place and then you should unclick the Layout object editable tag.
If you complete this, it does mean you have to copy all your work into this new page layout.
Another alternative is simply to add lines from the Shapes, you can size then ( length and thickness) and select whatever colour and opacity you prefer, do it on one page and copy and paste to all the othe pages.
Spend some time playing with teh layour pages and changing things.. adding or changing background images styles etc,. Once you have "the knack" an owd Manchester term - you can customise a basic template to suit your needs.
Hope it helps...

How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?

How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?
I am creating a print document - the page setup seems to automatically convert from inches back to picas. When I go to the tutorial on creating a document, however, the tutorial shows dimensions in inches. I assume there is some kind of preferences setting but I have not been able to find it.

Basic Pages Layout

I'm currently working with the Pages 30 day trial. I've been using AppleWorks for years where I set up a 20 page document that prints out front and back with 4 pages per sheet of paper, 2 pages front and 2 pages on the back side that will print out in booklet form so each page is approx 4x5.5" (1/2 standard page) in size. I'm trying to accomplish this in Pages.
When in the Pages layout mode, I have set page layout on it's side using a standard 8.4x11 paper size, but when I look at the page itself, the white editable portion (as compared to the grey portion) is not centered. According to the ruler there is .5" margin on the left, .25" margins on top and bottom, and .1" margin on the right.
I have checked the document inspector to no avail setting all of the margins to .5" but it does not change the current margins as I described above. What I want is the printed portion perfectly centered on the page. How do I do this?
Thanks!
-Dave
PS, I plan on looking for a good iWork book but in the mean time looking for answers here!

Related to this, perhaps: In Page-Layout mode, changes I make to margins in the Document Inspector are not reflected in the document itself. The gray margin areas remain unchanged. The margins seem to be determined solely by what I choose as a printer in Page Setup. Seems like a bug to me.
In Word-Processor mode, the margins work fine.

How to remove blank pages from WebI Report in view page layout option

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.
Thanks in advance.

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

I really want more options for page layouts.

I am enjoying iphoto11, but sometimes wish for more page layout options. Is it possible to flip an entire page layout - like the option to flip a photo? I am currently working with a Photo Essay theme and in most of the layouts the text box is on the same side of the page. When I preview the book I see that I have many parallel layouts which looks a little stiff. Any ideas?

1 - there is no option to add layouts or modify existing layouts - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
2 - I understand that Aperture offers this capability
3 - you can do pages in any program you want and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and then use that image as a full page photo in a book - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more info

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
Cheers.

Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
3. Click Section. (Check!)
4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
I really appreciate your insight.

How I can create a new page layout template for EP 7.0

Where I can found tutorial or description.
I have already provided the par-file for new page layout but I do not know like I should integrate in the enterprise portal 7.0.
Greeting Daniela

when you already provided the par file then
go to content admin->portla content
go to your folder in pcd content and right click and navigate to new-> layout. There you can find your deployed new page layout par file.
Create a page layout based on the par file and in the properties make it as template.
Later when you try to create a page then you will get the new layout as one of the option.
Also check the below pdf links for step by step procedure

Error in using Custom Page Layout

Hi all,
I have created some customs page layouts, and they are working fine in the Portal (EP 6.0 SP2).
Now I have imported them to another Portal (same version than the first one), I made an EPA pakage with the PCD objects for the new page layouts and deployed the PAR file containing the the JSP for the new layouts into the Portal.
The result of this is the following:
- I am able to create a page and choose one of my customs layouts as a default layout.
- When in the page I try to select 'Edit > Page Layout' I get a 'Portal runtime error', and in the page logger I see the following exception (see it copied below):
Am I missing any step in the transport? I think no but maybe there is something else I have to do.
Thank you very much in advanced and regards

Hi Krishna,
I've been able to solve my problem.
It was something wrong when transporting the page Layouts with an EPA package from one Portal to another. Some properties were lost.
What I've done is to recreate manually the page layouts PCD Objects. And all it's working OK

SharePoint Bug? Conflict Error when saving a Page with a "Required" DateTime field in the page layout

Hello,
I've just recently encountered a weird error / bug in SharePoint. Here is the scenario:
- I have a custom column "Test Date" that is of DateTime field type. The field is configured as REQUIRED.
- It is added to a custom Content Type "Test CT" that is based on a "Publishing Page" content type
- I have created a Page Layout "Test PL" which is based on that particular content type.
Now here is what happens:
1. I try to create a page based on both that Content Type and Page Layout in the Pages Library. I manage to create it successfully.
2. However, when I go to try and edit the page, fill-in the required values and try to save it using the PAGE TAB -> SAVE BUTTON, I get the below error/s. Note that this happens no matter what I choose in the drop-down menu for Save Button.
"The file XXX has been modified by USER on DATE"
But I know I am the ONLY user modifying the page.
If I try to save again it gives me options to whether Discard my Changes, Keep Editing, Overwrite Changes, or Merge.
3. HOWEVER, if I use the Save button on the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen (the shortcut). I am able to save successfully without any errors!
The only thing I've tried that made it work was if I made the DateTime OPTIONAL. But I need it to be REQUIRED.
Is there any workaround to this error / bug?
Thanks

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

How can I change get a 2xportrait page layout in iPhoto 11?

I am laying out a new wedding photo album in iPhoto 11 (version 9.2.3) using the Formal hardcover theme. A new album appears with a number of pre-set layouts: one of which has two portrait photos side by side.
There are two pre-set pages with this layout but I want more like this as I have a lot of full length photos from the shoot. However, this layout does not appear in the 2-photo layouts that are offered when I try to change the layout of a particular page. The closest is two landscape photos.
If I drag a portrait photo into one of these, it gets cropped.
Is there a way that I get a two-portrait side by side layout? If not, then can somebody recommend an alternaive to iPhoto for producing high quality printed photo albums?
Gareth

That theme will only offer landscape for 2 photos per page layouts.
1 - click on the Layout button at the bottom while viewing the page you want to change:
In the Layout tray at the right you can select any number of photos per page and layouts for those photos:
If I drag a portrait photo into one of these, it gets cropped.
Some themes allow you to Control-click on the photo and select "Fit Photo to Frame Size":
but the Formal theme is not one of them.
The Modern Lines theme gives you two portrait per page with a variety of frames under Options and Fit to Frame Size:
With a gray backgroud you get this:
HOWEVER, if you have an image editor that supports layers or Pages (part of the iWork suite of apps) you can create a custom page for the Formal theme with the two portraits side by side. This tutorial describes how: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

Page layout mode - margins

Hi,
i would like to set fixed margins in page layout mode.
e.g site layout with inside 1 cm and outside 2 cm.. simple.. - document margins doesn't work in layout mode.
Rulers are no solution - i don't want to set or change rulers for every site and i can't fix the ruler correct anyway (e.g. only on .83cm and .79cm not on .80.. zooming in doesn't change it)
thanks for your help-
greetings
Chris
ah.. and.. of course.. help, manual, search function previously in use..

thanks for your help - maybe i described the problem not exact.. my problem is:
If you add a box in layout mode (doesn't matter whats inside - text, shapes or images) - you can drag the boxes out of the image, close the page border or with some margin to the border - you can align boxes to each other (horizontal, vertical...)
But i didn't find a method for aligning all boxes with a certain margin like the document margins in text mode.
Lets say i have a dozen boxes on a page and a couple of pages and i want to align all of these boxes with 2cm margin to left, top, right and bottom.. like the boxes in given templates.
Do i have to drag all these boxes manually? - and what happen if i want to change my margin (lets say the printer calls you - it needs some 5mm more margin) - what i am looking for is something to set a certain margin i can align all boxes on and change quickly (.. like in text mode)
Christoph
