Layout Breaks are inserting a big gap in my document

Inserting a Layout Break before and after an area of a page that needs to be in two columns leaves about 25 points of space above and below the columned area. This space is unaffected by paragraph spacing, line spacing, etc. It just occurs with the layout formatting. Why? This big gap in my document is throwing off the overall formatting. How do I make it smaller/go away? Any ideas much appreciated!

z,
You might try clicking on the Layout inspector > Layout button, and take a look at the Before setting. Reduce the number there and the space should reduce correspondingly.

How can I remove space inserted by layout break?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the blank line added by inserting a layout break?
I have a word processing document that has a title, authors, affiliation etc centered as a single column at the top of the page followed by a layout break and the rest of the document text in two columns. The problem is that the layout break inserts a blank line so instead of a continuous single line spacing throughout the document its two parts are separated by blank line.

Hi MartinSmith,
Welcome to Pages '09 discussions.
I'm not quite sure what you're doing so here's what I did:
1. Created a new document
2. At the top I put Author below that Affiation then immediately did Insert > Layout Break
3. Made the remaining of the page two columns.
My document doesn't have the extra line feed you speak of. It most likely is I'm not following your lead. Please provide more information so we may better assist you.

"Layout Breaks"

I inserted a "layout break" into some docs i'm making for music lead sheets and can't remember how i did that. Anybody?

Headers, Sections Breaks and Layout Breaks

I need to be able to turn Headers on and off in different places in the documents. In Appleworks I would make a section break, tell it not to carry over the headers and footers from the previous section, and that was it. In Pages 09, Section breaks start a new page, which I don't want. Layout breaks don't start a new page, but I don't see I can tell it to NOT carry over the headers and footers from the previous Layout. Is there no way to do this?
Frustrated in MO

I really don't understand where is the problem with the need to insert a section break to ask the app to use a different page header.
The headers appear on top of pages which means that they appear after pages or section breaks.
It seems that you did something wrong. When I insert a section break the app doesn't create a new page, it insert a forced separation between two existing pages.
Are you sure that you used the menu "Insert a section break" ?
My guess is that you used "Insert a Section".

NULL values are inserted into interface table for read only columns

Hi, I developed a custom Integrator where some of the columns has to be displayed as read only in the layout. I am using SQL content to populate the data. When I upload the data NULL values are inserted into table interface? Is there any work around for this?
Thanks

Doesn't WebADI drive you insane at times?
I must say, when it's all working it looks great and it is very user friendly (end-user that is, NOT for developers!) but before you get to that stage… please please Oracle invest some time making Web ADI a bit more logical an coherent, get the obvious bugs out, please let us not have to update BNE tables anymore to get things done.
Anyway, I sorted this one out by setting the Width to zero (0) in the Layout. HTH.

Oracle insert problem(records not in the order they are inserted)

hi, all:
I tried to insert a word list into a oracle table, everything is fine except that the words are not in the order they are inserted. For example, the words are inserted in the following sequence:
accreted
accreting
accretion
accretionary
accretive
bladebone
bladed
bladeless
bladelike
When I retrived the resultset from the table and iterate through each of the record, the words are not in the order inserted, i.e., it may look like this,
accreted
accreting
bladebone
bladed
accretion
accretionary
accretive
bladeless
bladelike
This strange phenomenon won't happen when the word list is small, like 500 words or so, but when the number of words reaches around 10,000, it takes place. My coworker also experienced this problem when trying to insert large volume of data into oracle table.
The code I used to insert into the DB table:
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\\Dictionary.txt"));
while( (line=reader.readLine())!=null )
     sql="INSERT INTO DICT " +
     "VALUES ('" + line +"')";
     statement.executeUpdate(sql);
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
thanks

Well, the best thing to do is follows scsi-boy's advice and add the additional column and either put a sequence number in it from the Java side as you insert, or use an Oracle sequence object to put a sequence number in it from the Oracle side (which is sort of like an auto-generated value, but different).
Note that an Oracle sequence generates numbers in sequence, but possibly with gaps (usually if the database is rebooted), unless you do some things that slow sequences down substantially. Sequences can also be something of a bottleneck on RAC clusters. See:
http://www.dizwell.com/oracle/articles/autonumbering.html
However, if your coworker is commiting after each and every insert (which is bad form and slows the database down, -10 points), and if your coworker is also never ever ever updating the columns after they've been inserted, and if your coworker is using Oracle 10g and not some older version such as 9i, then your coworker could use the ORA_ROWSCN pseudo-column to order by. Those are very very severe constraints and you shouldn't begin to consider doing it that way without a very good reason, and right now you and your coworker wouldn't know a good reason if it snuck up and bit you on the butt, you've got a lot of learning the basics first.

Services deleting layout breaks

First off, Pages does not show services in the contextual menu as advertised for Snow Leopard. The services show up in TextEdit when text is selected, but not in Pages. (Except for a few that must be connected by some different mechanism, as they don't show in TextEdit but do show in Pages.) Baffling.
Secondly, when I use a text service via the Pages > Services route, if the text I have selected includes a layout or page break, the breaks are deleted. If the service involves any kind of text substitution, even if it's just "smarten quotes", it will delete all breaks. I have tried both TextSoap and WordServices with same result.
I can work around this by selecting only the text between breaks to run services on, but that means making dozens of manual selections in a document instead of CMD-A, AND I have to go to the Pages > Services menu every time instead of using a right-click popup. Tedious. (Yes, I could assign keyboard shortcuts, but I would never remember them.)
I guess this is feedback, not a question, since I don't really expect anyone knows how to make Pages play nicely with Services. If anybody else is frustrated with this problem, feel free to chime in.

Snow Leopard changed the behavior of Services.
Only those which you choose to display are displayed.
The choice is made from the menu
Services > Services preferences.
I installed some components of WordServices.
This new scheme is really interesting which allow us to work with a Services menu with a reasonable number of items.
As far as I know, Services where never reachable thru ctrl-click (aka right-click).
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Layout Break Space Before Paragraph

I am using a layout break in pages. I have a heading style with a background fill on my paragraph. I have a before paragraph space of 14. If I place the heading style right after a layout break (at the top of the new layout section) it eats my before paragraph space. Seems like a bug but I thought I would ask if anyone has a solution or workaround.
Thanks
Chris

It may not be completely intuitive, but that is how it is supposed to work. Space before and space after apply between paragraphs in a layout section but not at the beginning or end of a layout section or at the beginning or end of a page. It is sort of like the way the last character in a word can be right against the margin and yet the next line does not have to start with a space; the area outside the margins can "count" for this kind of white space. A layout break works like a margin here, even if it is in the middle of a page (and not necessarily preceded by white space).
If you are producing a multipage document, you normally want the tops of the text blocks of each page to line up at the margin, not jump up and down if one page happens to start with a new paragraph that has a space before set.
To deal with your situation with needing the white space at the beginning of a new layout section, with the cursor in that section, use the Layout pane of the Inspector to set the "Before" margin of that section to, for example, 14 pts.

Fixed section or layout breaks

In pages, is there a way to fix a section or layout break to start at the second page?
All I have found thus far are floating section breaks. As I type more on the first page, the section break moves down, so I later have to move it to the start of the second page manually. I would like it to be fixed to start on the second page and have the text flow around the break.

If you describe what you want to do in more detail, it's possible there may be a different way to do what you want. Section breaks are not the feature you are looking for to do this, since they pretty much define the end of text flow -- text in one section can't flow to another, and thus can't flow around a section break.

Illustrator path with breaks in it, renders with gaps in Photoshop

Running current CC versions of both apps. I've a logo design that requires paths pass in front and behind each other such that it's necessary to break the path to create the effect. The path was broken with the scissors tool such that both points on the path are at the exact same location.
The break in the path is visible in both illustrator and photoshop as a hair-line gap. In fact, it only shows up in illustrator at some zoom levels, not all. When I paste/place it into a Photoshop document, as a smart object, the breaks in the path are visible as slight gaps, even when rendered at low-resolution. I've tried creating a slight overlap in the path where the break is, but this is rendered as a slight lump in the path, so it's also undesirable visually.
Hopefully this (dropbox link) image illustrates the requirement of the design and the problem (screenshot from Photoshop).
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2052167/illustrator%20path%20problem.png
Anyone know of a way around this?
I hope i've explained it adequately!
David

I assume you want the paths to remain as paths, and not shapes.
There is no need to break your main paths. Just use the Direct Selection tool to select the portion of the gray segments that overlap, then copy and paste in place. Move them to the top of the stack; trim down as necessary.

How do change "layout break" spacing in Pages '13?

I'm editing my resume and added some columns in. The columns look nice but the layout break spacing is way to far apart. How do I modify this? Please see the inserted image for a better idea.

Hi, I was wondering how you add a column into pages 13. I know in Pages 09 you could go to the inspector>setup>columns but how do you get there in the new Pages for Mac? Thanks

All page breaks are converted into section breaks

Hi,
In my template in ms word 2007 I have page breaks and section breaks. When I generate the output what I see is that all the page breaks are automatically converted into section breaks. Is this a bug ? Or is there a way to solve it.?
Thanks

Hi elic elico,
Are your page breaks created by inserting multiple returns? If so, then the script will certainly remove them. You can "fix" this by deleting the relevant line from the text file. In general, however, it's better to control page breaks by other means.
Thanks,
Ole

Page layout breaks when Editing page

I've created a site for a client who wants to use Contribute
to edit it. The site wasn't built with Dreamweaver (hand-coded).
Pages look fine when they're loaded in the Contribute window, but
when he goes to Edit the page, the layout breaks. it's a table-less
CSS-based layout with some includes, but it looks fine when
initially loaded. After editing & publishing, the page
generally looks fine again. This would only be a minor annoyance,
but sometimes there are blocks of text that, when Editing, suddenly
seem to have a near-zero line spacing....so he can't see what he's
trying to edit. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
thanks,
benjy

Check out this thread, maybe you can handcode editable

File sizes that are twice as big in PS CC after cropping compared to cs5

I'm getting file sizes that are twice as big when I resample an image in PS CC compared to what I was getting in cs5. Anyone know why and what I can do to correct it?

Wrong forum.
What file format are you saving in?
What compression/quality setting are you using if any?
Are you working in 8 or 16 bits?

Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically?

Hi,
Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically? Example, many GLs which are mapped in GL Account Determination, like Foreign Exchange Gain / Loss, Rounding Account, etc. are inserted by the system automatically in the Journal Entry on various scenarios, like during Incoming Payment, etc.
Which SQL query can give me those rows? Basically the WHERE condition should be based on which column or multiple columns in JDT1 table?
Thanks.

Hi Rajesh,
I'm not entirely sure but I think the TransId is the same in the header that belongs to the transaction.
OINV.TransId = JDT1.TransId
Best regards,
Pedro Magueija
