Layout and WP differences

As a new user I have spent hours figuring out the differences between Layout and WP The manual doesn't define the differences. Many things work in one and not the other.
Any one else have this problem?
What is the best way to bring this to Apple's attention?

• Look at: <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1676249&tstart=0>
• _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

  • Difference between null layout and absolutelayout

    hello
    I would like to know the difference between the null layout and the absolutelayout
    thank you in advance

    http://www.google.com/search?q=absolutelayout
    Next time, please use the search yourself.Do I have to consider this as answer Yes.
    notice that I asked for the difference between both
    of the layout and not about
    absolutelayout only Third link, advertised by
    "I think AbsoluteLayout does more than just setting Layout to null. AbsoluteLayout may even accomodate for changes in font sizes etc. ..."
    already should give you something to think about.
    Furthermore, the search shows that there are several different classes named AbsoluteLayout (ADF, SWT, BUI, samskivert...), and you didn't specify which one you're talking about.
    Still think this wasn't an answer?
    I guess I should stop assuming that you have a brain of your own.

  • 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.

  • Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

    Greetings,
    I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
    A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
    I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

    Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
    I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
    I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
    Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
    It all really depends on your demographic audience.
    Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
    I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
    And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

  • My IPad want charge I've bought a new charger and use difference outlets but it still want charge.

    My IPad is getting hard to charge,I have to wiggly the charger to get it to charge. I've bought a new charger and used difference outlets. I need to know what is wrong?

    Consider where you are wriggling the charger (I suspect you mean the cable. Why does everybody refer to a cable as "the charger"?) and make sure all the contacts there are free from pocket fluff and such.

  • Writers - please help with page layout and headers/footers in Pages

    Hello
    Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have fiddled around with my page layout and can't figure this out for myself!
    When I type a manuscript, I like to have a header and footer giving the book title, chapter, my name, etc. I'm finding that the header and footer is set to a wider range than I have set the main body of the page. Would you leave it that way, so that it is easily differentiated from the actual text, or would you align the left and right margins on the header and footer to match the body of the text? And if so, how do you do this please?
    Secondly, I can't figure out how to increase the top and bottom gap so that there is a good space between the header and the first line of text.
    Any advice would be gratefully received!
    Thank you!

    I don't understand what you did.
    When we use the normal tools:
    Inspector > Document > Margins, the widths of header, body and footer are the same.
    Secondly, I can't figure out how to increase the top and bottom gap so that there is a good space between the header and the first line of text.
    With the already named tools, we may adjust top & bottom margins with no change on the header & footer.
    As I often wrote, looking in the PDF User Guide which is delivered with every copy of iWork is an efficient way to spare time.

  • How do I make categories under My Templates, as is done in page layout and word-processing?

    How do I make categories under My Templates, as is done in page layout and word-processing? I have over 50 of my own templates and want to categorize them. For example: son's homework, business, etc. Thanks

    Here are some screenshots of my organization. Your sub-folders need to be in the same folder as My Templates, NOT in My Templates which is confusing.

  • Switching between page layout and word processing

    I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view.  I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages.  The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want.  I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
    Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc.  *I have*.  I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers.  Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this.  If it was Word - I could do this in NO time.  I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
    Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program?  Is it just a cut and paste application?  Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore.  I really need to get this done.
    Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
    Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy.  It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

    Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
    Open a Page Layout document
    run this script:
    --{code}
    set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
    set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
    tell application "Pages"
      save document 1 in path_2_doc
      open file path_2_doc
    end tell
    --{code}
    that's all folks.

  • [Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

    Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
    Did I miss some config file?
    For the sake of clarity:
    1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
    2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
    3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
    4)
    $ locale
    LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
    Thanks for any help.

    I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
    Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

  • Help with Frameset and Browser differences

    I hope someone can help me with my Frameset. It works great in Safari but Firefox doesn't recognize the frames. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5, Mac OS10.8. Here's the link: http://tonyhertz.com/2012/Frameset_black_white_landscape_photo.html

  • CSS layout and Internationalization of JSF apps

    We use message bundles to handle internationalization in our JSF applications. This approach seems to work as we used HTML tables (or rather <h:panelGrid> tags) to layout components on the page.
    We had numerous customer complaints about tons of extra white space left on the screen in languages like German (where some words are very long). There are other issues with grid layouts, and we decided to give CSS positioning a try.
    I wonder, what folks on this forum think about using CSSP in conjunciton with JSF components. Also, given that text strings have different length in different languages, what is the i18n approach? Afterall, coordinates that work in English may not be accurate in German.
    Any suggestions, ideas, pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vadim.

    Hi guys.
    The problem seems a little bit weird. But you could try the following. It is just the idea.
    1. You should recover the .properties file and get the Map for the current Locale. This should have to be done maybe in the Backing bean.
    2. Get the maximum length of the UIOutputText elements present in the form that you need to control its length. Now the important thing here is that you should have the value atribute of the UIOutputText objects based on an internationalized Base Bundle prefix. Just cut -based on the substring of the value attribute- the name of the property.
    3. Consider that you have to look in the Map the entry you just obtained from the UIOutputText object. After get the value of that Map entry (a String object) and get its length. At the end of the loop you sould have get the maximum length in characters of the component values to be displayed.
    4. Fix that value as an attribute in the backing bean.
    5. Use the output of that value to generate the style in CSS, as an String attribute of the Backing Bean. Base your CSS construction in "em" measures
    6. Change the -style- attribute in each component to reflect the correct length using CSS like this -style="#�{backingBeanName.style}"-. With this you will get an space dependent of the length of the localized values.
    Again. It is just a suggestion, I had not tried it already but I guess that will be my way in that case.

  • Remove the .layout and .lay files

    When burning a DVD I was told this:
    1) Use DVDSP to build AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders to the hard drive.
    2) Remove the .layout and .lay files from the VIDEO_TS folder.
    3) Burn with Toast at 1X (make sure to delete the .DS Store files in Toast - There is one at the root level of the disc and 1 in the VIDEO_TS folder)
    I was just curious,
    1. what are the .layout and .lay files
    2. How important is it to remove them?
    3. What advantage do you gain by removing them?
    Thanks.

    These two files are used by DVDSP when you burn a disc from there, or build your project to your hard drive as a disc image. They contain the layout information for when the files in your project are written to the disc itself.
    They have no business being in a VIDEO_TS folder and anecdotally have shown to cause errors on some players if they are left in place. When you burn from DVDSP they are automatically removed as part of that process.
    Removing them manually when burning with Toast, therefore, helps improve compatibility of your DVD-R when you attempt to play it on a set top player.
