Layout margin "Before" and "After settings

I'm working on a document where I sometimes need to alter the preset upper and lower margins of a given page. I can use the "Before" layout margin setting to move the text box tops downward but trying to move the bottoms of the boxes upward using the "After" setting seems to do nothing. Isn't that what that setting is for?

The Before and After paragraph settings are for adjusting the spaces between paragraphs. Put you curser in a paragraph and adjust the Before setting and the space between that paragraph and the preceeding one increases or decreases. Adjust the After setting and the space between that paragraph and the next one changes accordingly.
If you want to adjust the margins of the page, as well as the header and footer, use the Document Inspector.
If your're using text boxes, just move the box as needed. To move the entire box it should be set for Fixed on Page.

  • Bug: Before and After Margins Layout with section starting in right page

    Hi,
    I am using the Spanish version of Pages 09. I have observed that when I start a new section, I have no problems setting the layout margins (right, left, before, after) of this section.
    But if a set that the new section must start in a right page, then the "before" and "after" margins of the layout doesn't work.
    Is this the same in English versions of Pages?
    Regards,

    I see what you are saying.
    The problem is Pages seems to have a memory of how you arrived at that layout.
    When I construct the pages, it is correct.
    I am trying to find out what is interacting in your layout to cause this to happen. It is like there is a hidden inaccessible layout break on the blank inserted page.
    I have been tearing my hair out trying to work out what triggers it off. As I experimented with the combinations of settings in Facing pages, Section layouts and which page it starts on, it erratically switches back and forth.
    This is why I gave up on Pages years ago as a serious layout tool. It has too many of these raw, poorly thought out interactions. I use a lot of different applications and none of them, that I can think of, have so many of these mind twisting raw oddities. Odd for a supposed user friendly application.
    All the rest are pretty literal, you apply the settings and end up with a logical result of those settings. If the result is not what you wanted it is a matter of tracking what is interacting with what and straightening it out. Pages has the annoying "design" of inexplicably greying out functions for no stated reason, that prevents correction. Or hiding the access to the tools to those settings. You can only get to some of them if you have explicitly done something to make them possible. The rules as to what that "something" is, are not apparent nor in most cases explained in the User Guide or the User Interface.
    There may be a "reason" why the function is greyed out but it is not revealed to the user without an enormous amount of detective work and as in this case my sleuthing abilities are failing me completely. I might try it again tomorrow after a rest (it is very late here). Either way it is a huge time waster.
    This is fundamentally bad User Interface design and what I have railed against since Apple changed shifts, bringing in the OSX programmers who never really got the polished UI of the original Mac OS and have been cooking with Fanta* ever since.

    * This is an anecdote originally told by Peter Russell-Clarke, a well known and creative Australian chef back in the 70's. He was berated in the street by a woman who told him that his recipe for +Duck à l'orange+ was "disgusting". When he cross examined her, he found she didn't eat fresh fruit so had made the orange sauce with Fanta.
    I use this to try and get the message over to clients when they insist on "substituting" material because "what's the difference". The trouble with people who can't tell the difference is that they rarely ever do, no matter how carefully it is demonstrated to them.

  • Space disappears before and after numbers during epub fixed layout conversion

    Created .indd file using InDesign CC 2014 and converted to epub fixed layout format. Everything is correctly converted -- EXCEPT that every number (date, address, single number in text) is stripped of its space before and after. The indesign file is correct and spaces are all present correctly. Any thoughts? Could it have to do with fonts (using open type features such as contextual alternates with Figure style set to Proportional Oldstyle)? Quick help would be appreciated -- on a deadline as usual!
    Thanks,

  • In my class i am suppose to do a before and after shot, how do i have two photos on one page

    before and after shots..how do i put two photos on one page?? please help

    Good day!
    As Photoshop is not a page layout application but primarily image editing software the concept of "page" has limited relevance.
    Anyway, you could increase the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) and place the other image (File > Place …) or drag and drop it.
    Or create a new image and place both images. Whether doing so as Embedded or Linked Smart Objects makes more sense depends on your workflow, I guess.
    File > Automate > Contact Sheet II would be another option.

  • Proble with Before and After in camera raw

    The problem that I am having is the before and after in Camera Raw. When I press the P key for before and after; CR display the before and after to whole changes that I made and not just to one section. Let say, I am in the Detail section and Just want to see what changes I made in the Detail section only. I used to press the P key, but now I am seeing all the changes that I made to my file. I am using Adobe Photoshop CC and all my software is updated. I appreciatre a fix to this problem with many thanks

    Alternatevely you can take advantage of the new function recently introduced in CC. Press "Q" , this will split the monitor in two, (either vertically or horizontally) and each time you go to a new tab and make some change you can go back to previous state by clicking the icon in the  bottom right corner (see the picture).
    as you can see..you can "toggle between current settings and defaults for the visible panel"

  • Issue with Lightroom CC 2015's before and after (\) - Windows 7

    Okay, I downloaded Lr CC 2015 and everything is working great except for one thing - before and after. I edit an image then move to another (settings synced but needs a few refinements). I finish the edit and hit \ to take a look at where it started. When I do so, Lr decides to go back to the previous image, thinks about it, then shows me the before of the correct image. After the first time pressing \ it doesn't happen again, unless you move to another image. A little irritating, but something I can put up with. Is anyone having the same issue? Everything is up to date; graphics, OS, etc. Also worth noting, this does not happen with Lr 5.7.
    Any ideas, or should I post a bug report over on feedback.photoshop.com?
    Thank you,
    Benjamin

    Issue with Lightroom CC 2015 - Before and After (\)

  • Before and After View

    When I'm in my Develop module and I look at some of my edited photos my before and after view is not showing.  Sometime I see the original for a second then it resorts to the edited.  Now this is happening to some of my collection cause in some collection they are working just fine.  Can some explain to me what is happing.
    thanks

    That's not it. I'm not sure what your talking about or we are talking about two different things. All the files in the collection are before and after are the same this is evident on some other folder in the collection.
    I think I figure out the problem
    Go to the History located  on the left side of your canvas, above the Copy and Paste buttons.  You should see Preset, Snapshot, History and Collection.  They should have a + beside to expand.  Go to History (this is a list of all you edits you made on the image) Go to the bottom where it says import of the file. This is the start point of your file.
    Right mouse click on the import xxxx xxxx file ( or how ever you saved your file name). Highlight "Copy History Step Settings to Before."
    There you go your good to go
    I don't know how to do this on all the images with this problem in the folder all at once.  I just do it individually.

  • An extra page prints before and after a page with the data, why?

    If I go to www.allrecipes.com, select a recipe and click on the Print button, FF prints an extra blank page before and after the recipe. The recipe is short and easily fits on a single page. I've changed all the print settings so that even the Header & Footer info is set to "Blank".

    I don't understand why blank pages are generated, but I can help you with a quick hack if you like. This will strip off everything but the actual recipe area so that you can streamline the printout.
    After you load the page and select your options:
    * Open Firefox web console using Ctrl+Shift+k
    * Next to the caret (>) paste the following script then press Enter to run it:
    var rectbl = document.querySelector(".pageback table.recipeprinttable"); document.body.insertBefore(rectbl, document.body.firstChild); while(document.body.children.length>1) document.body.removeChild(document.body.children[1]);
    * Close the web console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k again
    When you preview the page, it should look ready for printing. Any luck?
    Obviously that's not very convenient if you print a lot of recipes from this site, so you could save the script as a bookmarklet. Here's how:
    First, copy this slightly modified script (select, Ctrl+c):
    javascript: var rectbl = document.querySelector(".pageback table.recipeprinttable"); document.body.insertBefore(rectbl, document.body.firstChild); while(document.body.children.length>1) document.body.removeChild(document.body.children[1]); void 0;
    Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can display it using either:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Bookmarks Toolbar
    * tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar
    Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Bookmark.
    Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
    Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., AllRecipes) and click Add.
    Now, when you want to hack the page, click the button to run the script.

  • No original with before and after

    PSE 11 on a mac. Before and after only showing the most recently edited version of my work. Not the original photo. Help

    Sorry, but I'm still not sure I see what the problem is. When you enter QF or Guided, you will see the condition of your photo at that moment. If you've done editing in expert mode, for example--say you used Correct Color Cast--you'll see your photo just as it is at this moment, with the color cast corrected. Are you saying that when you make a change in quick fix, the before photo is changing to show what you did so that it looks just like the After view? If so, quit the editor and then restart it while holding down command+shift+option. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
    Or do you mean that in a previous editing session you had  edited a photo and saved the changes, but now you want to go back to the original as your starting point. If the last, if you use organizer, go there and expand the version set and choose the original to send for editing. If you're using iphoto, you may need to right-click the photo and choose Revert to get back to your original again.

  • "Effects" before and after

    Hello all,
    Is there anywhere I can go to see the "before" and "after" views of all effects? I am not yet familiar with all of the effect jargon, so if something like this exists it would save alot of time! (if it doesn't exist, I'm sure you guys could make loads from advertising as ppl like me would flock to those pages en masse).
    Thanks,
    Christie

    The effects previews in Illustrator are not as advanced as in Photoshop. For example you have a outer glow effect, you turn preview on, all works great. now turn the preview off, and it is still on. So you cant toggle for most of them.  In sumamry Illsutrator effects previews can be buggy.
    For the bitmapped effects I try to do them instead in Photoshop. EG: Outer glows distance and lightness are more accuratey previewed in Photoshop, even if you have doc raster settings set to 300 dpi. . Glow in Illustrator does not have a distance setting either, Illustrator slows down when using bitmapped effects.

  • Video "zooms" before and after transition

    My video zooms a little before and after the cross dissolve transition. I tried deleting the render files and re-rendering but the noticeable zoom is still there.
    Video is 1920x1080 60i prores @ 17.1mbps. Project is same settings, with field dominance set to none. I export to quicktime self contained. Video looks great except for the sudden zoom before and after the transition.
    Any thoughts?

    Not really sure this is the culprit but it should be checked.
    Also, what is that field dominance thing? You said it was originally set to "none" but you're dealing with interlaced footage and upper field dominance.

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

  • How do I add a before and after transition to a standalone clip in the second or other than primary stack?

    New to FCPX on a project this weekend. I have gotten reasonably comfortable with the basic features but one thing that I CANNOT figure out, is how (what used to be) selecting a track in the timeline to activate it to apply a transition.  I need to select a video clip which stands alone in the stack which is positioned above the primary track and add a blend transition before and after the clip. I have set the opacity to blend with the images in the primary track below but the beginning and end of the clip in the second stack do not fall at the transition points in the lower track which should not matter anyway.  I can’t find it in Help or the third party tutorials that I purchased and completed.  Thanks for your help!

    Tom gave you the answer.  As a follow-on you can then use the Cross Dissolve transition on your newly converted connected clip.  This transition will allow it to dissolve smoothly into the video below it.  Note that the Fade to Black transition will take both that clip and the video below it to black which would probably be undesirable. Use Cross Dissolve instead.  Best wishes.

  • GREP: How can I place a (for example) "*" before and after bold text with GREP?

    Hi there.
    I have a string of text as such:
    I want to use GREP to insert a "*" (asterisk) before and after each bold part. Can I do that with GREP?
    (if asterisk is a problem, I can use a different character)
    Any help would be appreciated.
