Is there a way to exclude title, heading and bibliography text from the word count in pages?

I've just got the newest version of pages.
The word count includes everything, from titles to endnotes - including the numbers in my sub-headings.
I used to use open office where you could select a style i.e. 'body tex't, and get a word count that didn't include every single word in a document.
Is there a way of doing something similar, or reseting the word count to only 'body text' so I know exactly how long my essays are?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, no version of Pages has this fine-grained control over document components and their word count, so the answer is no, regarding user changeable settings.
Programmatically, I just told AppleScript to count the words of body text in a currently opened Pages v5.2 document. The count matched the Pages word count for the document. So, no solution there either.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

    I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!  I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!

    I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
    I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>.  It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

  • Is there a way to send an email and prevent it from being forwarded

    Is there a way to send an email and prevent it from being forwarded

    Not with the most common email systems - webmail, POP, SMTP or IMAP. 
    The only email system I know of that can prevent forwarding (or copying or printing) is Lotus Notes (now called IBM Notes).  I believe it can technically be done within an MS Exchange environment, but I have never actually seen it implemented in one.

    i have lost my iphone i dont have iemi number but i used icloud id on that as there any way to locate my phone and if not located the plz tell my the way i remove my data from it. thanks

    Go to icloud.com.  Log in with your Apple ID & Password.  Go to the Find My iPhone section.  Perform a remote wipe of the device.
    You don't have to have downloaded any app.  You only have to have enabled the Find My iPhone option under Settings > iCloud.  If you did not do that, then you cannot remotely access the device.
    If that's the case, then change ALL of your account passwords; email, banking, etc.  All of them.  And then monitor those accounts very closely!

  • Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • Does anyone know how to exclude footnotes from the word count in the Pages for iPad app?

    If I create a doc on pages for ipad, then view it on the iMac, the word count is lower.  I figured out that this is because Pages counts all the words in the footnotes.  Does anyone know how to make it exclude footnotes from the word count? 

    I see the exact same behavior on my IPAD(s) and IPHONE(s). This isn't the loss of titles already identified in other posts. Every movie that wasn't purchased from iTunes, meaning all my movies of my kids, shows it sync in iTunes, but doesn't show up anywhere on the devices.
    Help Apple! Please un-break the feature that was functional before.

  • Is there a way to hear voice mail and see text messages online?

    My Stratosphere fell to the floor last night, and I can no longer see the display. Nothing I or the Verizon support guy could do today restored the display. The phone has rung but touching the screen to answer it does not work. I have purchased a new Stratosphere on e-Bay - I don't trust the locals to repair the phone properly - but there'll be a few days until I can get phone service again. Is there any way to access voice mail and text messages through the Verizon website or another phone during this period?

    If there are people with whom you are expecting to exchange text messages, you can contact them to let them know of your plight by sending an e-mail to their text message address. For instance, [email protected] or [email protected] Of course you have to limit the message to text-message length.

  • HELP: Excluding footnotes from the word count

    Hello!,
    I'm a post-grad student, currently writing my dissertation, and I am hoping one of you might be able to help:
    Q: Is there any way to exclude footnotes from the total word count?
    I've tried it via Inspector > Document > Info, but all I get to see is the total word count including all footnotes and there's no checkbox to switch it of (like in MS-Word)
    Footnotes are not included in the total word limit for my dissertation (20.000 words), and if I cant work out how to have Pages counting both footnotes and document text individually, I need to revert back to MS-Word and can't use Pages08 at all (major pain, not only as I then just wasted $79)
    Any help & support would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to unlock a picture or frame downloaded from the web so that it can be used in another document?

    I occasionally need to copy a picture from a blog or website and modify it for my own use. No matter how I try to do this, generally in Pages or MSWord for Mac, I can't find a way to unlock the frame or picture so that I can copy just the picture. Is there some way to do this?

    Right-click on the website image. Copy Image. In Word, Edit > Paste Special > As Picture (TIFF).
    You may wind up with a black border around a white background. That is because the default Word wrap is Inline with Text. Right-click on your blank image, and choose a different Wrap Text submenu choice, such as behind or in front of text. Your image will appear in a borderless container.

  • Is there a way to remove existing music and upload new from a new itunes account without loosing previous apps. Itouch 32gb, generation: I don't know, has no camera...

    Ok, so. My Uncle recently gave my family an itouch that he had owned previously. Which meant that it came complete with applications and music and such. But as I found out my uncle has a very different taste in music than us, so I am trying to add my music from My itunes account. But he already has 1620 different songs on there, some of which I would like to keep and others not so much. Is there a way to keep the applications, and some of the music, while removing many of the songs???? Feel free to ask anymore clarifying questions.
    Thanks.

    You should restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and add/purchase your own media. The media did not transfer with the iPod hardware. Using it would be stealing.

  • Is there a way to create a file merge that updates from the original source file if changes are made?

    I have thousands of PDF documents that are merged with other files. I'll give an example so it's easier to understand.
    File #1 may be merged (or in a portfolio) with Files #2 and #3 but also in another merge (or portfolio) with Files #3 and #4.
    If I update File #1, is there a way for it to automatically update both of the merge or portfolio files with the updated File #1? (File#1 would be replaced, same name and location).
    I'm using windows and Adobe Acrobat Pro

    You would need to add favorites to the WebHelp output prior to creating a CHM. You would need something along the lines of: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/favorites-widget-webhelp
    But since it's in a CHM, I'm not sure whether you will be able to save anything from the webhelp output between sessions.
    Kind regards,

  • Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

    Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

    I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email.  I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
    For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
    If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $40
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
