Master objects wanting to be made selectable

I've applies a picture to my master page to make a watermark for all the pages of my document. This image is about as big as the entire page. The trouble arises from the fact that now, whenever I double-click anywhere in my document, rather then selecting a word, it drops down a sheet asking if I want to make the object selectable. No! All I want to do is select individual words! Is there any way to get Pages to stop thinking that I want to edit the master image?

Nathaniel,
Try making it selectable, then click Arrange > Send Backward. Then Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

Having Trouble With Master Objects

I'm pretty new to iWork, so I apologize for any noobie foolishness.
I am trying to adapt the Business Report template in Pages '09. It uses a default logo graphic, and this graphic is selectable and replaceable.
In the first instance, I selected it and replaced it with my own graphic. However, when creating a new page, Pages continued to reproduce the original placeholder graphic.
So I got smarter, read the User Guide, and inserted a completely new version of my graphic in a different place (i.e., not in the placeholder), and followed the steps to make it a Master Object. BUT, when I created a new page, Pages did not automatically duplicate my new "Master Object", and continued to duplicate the old placeholder graphic in the same spot Apple designated.
So my (at this point) obvious question is: are we actually stuck with only those Master Objects Apple gave us, or is there something I'm not doing that can make a template automatically produce user-defined Master Objects on new pages?
To be fair, I have not tried to create a user-defined template yet, so perhaps my problem is just with the pre-installed ones, but still: I would hope these are easily modifiable.
I'm on a deadline, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I will walk you through making your own version of the template.
1 Open a new document using the *Business Report template*.
2 Don't change anything yet but open every section from the Sections pull down menu so you have a sequence of pages each with a page of a different section design.
3 Make Master Objects selectable if they are not. Drag your logo to replace every instance of the template's logo and adjust to your liking.
4. +Menu > View > Page Thumbnails+
5. Select first Thumbnail in sidebar +Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name : Type exactly the same name as the section "Letter" > It will ask you if you want to replace the existing section > Replace+ .
6. Repeat this for each section until you have replaced them all.
7. +Menu > File > Save as Template… > Save with a new name+
8. +Menu > New from Templates > My Templates > Choose your new name template+
You will now have a document that behaves the way you expected it to.
Now:
+Is this obvious?+ No.
+Is this easy?+ No
+Is it quick?+ No
+Is it prone to errors?+ Yes
+Why did Apple do it this way?+ Ask Apple.
Anyway hope this helps.

Master object using template Collectors newsletter

I am comfortable using older versions of iPages. Have just purchased a new MacBook Pro with OSX10.6.1 and have iWorks09 installed. Trying to write a newsletter - I'm now on try #7 as even the Apple techs don't know why I am having such trouble.
This time, I'm trying with a template - the Collectors newsletter. On my cover, I want to expand the brown "tear sheet" that is behind the "Collector" text so the squiggly watermarks totally show and so it is across the whole light brown area of the main page. Currently the right side is cut off. When I click on the brown area of the master object, according to iPages09 manual, I should see blue boxes so I can move. Instead there are blue x marks. I also can't move this brown box. What do I do? Thanks.

Lets examine how someone would discover this information:
In the User Guide:
1. The Index has no direct reference to Lock/locked/locking.
2. Locking and unlocking is under Objects and does not describe what locked objects look like.
3. A search on "lock" finds "Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects" which again does not descibe what they look like.
4. Master Objects does not mention that they are mostly locked in the templates. As the user points out it mentions the square blue selection handles but again does not mention what they look like when they are locked.
I have commented on the quality and thought that have gone into Apple's documentation before.
I am not surprised that the Apple employee doesn't know how to use Pages if all they are given is the User Guide, knowledgebase and their experience as MsWord users (I have yet to meet an employee who actually uses iWork).

Want to have own selection screen in HR-ABAP report using LDB

Hi experts,
        I am working on HR-ABAP report using LDB pnp and infotypes..But, here we get the built in selection criterion..but I want my own selection screen to be displayed..whats the solution for this??? Is it possible to create my own selection screen instead of default one..and how???
Please help me..its very urgent..

Hi,
chk this out:
Create Report Categories
In this step, you define the report categories and determine the layout
   of the standard selection screen for these report categories. You can
   create report categories for programs or queries that are based on the
   PNP or PNPCE logical databases.
The definition of report categories is divided into two sections:
o   In the Change Report Category view, you define general attributes
       such as sort order, input fields for date, and so on.
o   In the Change Selection Criteria view, you define which selection
       fields of the logical database should be avaliable on the selection
       screen.
Example
You want to set up your system so that your employees can only start
   evaluation reports for Payroll if they use a payroll area. Within a
   payroll area, you should be able to select according to personnel
   number. Additional selection criteria should not be possible and you
   should not be allowed to enter a sort sequence.
Standard settings
The standard system already contains report categories. You can find the
attributes of the report categories in the table.
Note the following five report categories in particular:
o   Report category ' ' is the SAP default report category for
    programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category PNPCE is the SAP default category for programs that
    are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category '00000000' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category '0PNPCE' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category __X2001 is the default category for Queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNP LDB.
o   Report category QUEPNPCE is the default category for queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNPCE LDB.
The default report categories are used when a report is called if
    the report has not been assigned a report category.
Parameters and Options for Report Categories of the LDB PNP and PNPCE
Parameters and Options in Screen Area General Data
   If you activate this parameter, you can only enter data on the data
   selection period if you use reports that have been assigned. The
   same date entries are then used for the person selection as for the
   date selection.
o   Matchcode allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Matchcode
   pushbutton (search help) if you use reports that have been assigned.
   This pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
o   Sort allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Sort pushbutton if
   you use report that have been assigned. This pushbutton enables you
   to define a sort order before you execute the report.
o   Organizational structure allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of an Org.Structure
   pushbutton if you use reports that have been assigned. This
   pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
   Note:
   For more information about these options, see the online
   documentation under this path:
   SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
   Management -> Standard HR Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
   Human Resources Management.
Parameters and Options in Screen Areas Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Options for data selection period and person selection period (key
    date and so on)
    Here you define which options for date and person selection are
    available for reports that have been assigned.
o   Options for payroll area/period/year
    Here you define which options for selection using payroll
    area/period/year are available for reports that have been assigned.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection View
o   Type/Name
    This parameter enables you to use selection views to define report
    categories. You use the selection view selected here to determine
    which fields are available in the Dynamic Selectionsy.
Note:
    You create selection views for the PNP and PNPCE logical databases
    in the Object Navigator (SE80):
    1. Start the Object Navigator (SE80)
    2. Choose Workbench -> Edit Object.
    3. Choose the More... tab page and the Selection view on this tab
    page.
    4. Choose Create.
    5. In the Create Selection View dialog box, choose the For any
    tables option.
    6. In the Name of view field, enter a name for your selection view.
    7. In the Tables dialog box, enter the name of the table from which
    you want to use fields.
    Note:
    When you enter the table name, observe the naming convention in
    Personnel Administration:
    Infotype number: nnnn -> table name: PAnnnn
    8. Choose Continue.
    9. In the Functional groups area, define functional groups by
    assigning a name and a number.
    10. Assign fields from the selected tables to the functional groups
    by entering the number of the desired functional group in front of
    each field.
    11. Save your entries.
For more information about adjusting the dynamic selections using
your own selection views, see the online documentation under the
following menu path:
SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
Management -> HR Standard Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
Human Resources Management -> Enhancing the Selection Screen -
Dynamic Selections.
If you do not want to offer dynamic selections, make the following
settings:
-   LDB PNP: In the Selection view field, enter PNP_NO_FREE_SEL.
-   LDB PNPCE: Leave the Selection view field empty.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Available input parameters, date or period entry (today, key date,
   all, and so on), and standard value.
   Using the Standard value option, you define which of the selected
   options is shown.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area CE Selection Fields
o   CE selection fields (external person ID, grouping reason, grouping
   value)
   Using the options in this area, you define whether the external
   person Id, grouping reason, or grouping value are available on the
   selection screen.
   Note:
   These parameters are only relevant for you if you implement
   Concurrent Employment (see also note 517071).
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection view
o   Dynamic selections as dialog box
    If this switch is set, you can call the dynamic selections as a
    dialog box.
o   Dynamic selections active
    If this switch is set, the dynamic selections of the logical
    database are active at the start of the report.
Note that the following combinations are possible for the last two
    options mentioned:
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/inactive
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/active
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: active/inactive
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Enter an abbreviation and a long text for the report category.
    The customer name range for report categories is 0-9.
3. Select the For the PNPCE logical database checkbox, if you want to
    create a report category for a program or for queries of the PNPCE
    logical database.
4. In the General Data screen area, choose the desired options.
    If you want to use selection IDs, you must have first created and
    grouped selection Ids. The IMG path to do this is given in the
    parameter description section.
5. In the Data selection period/person selection period or Selection
    period screen area, choose the desired options.
6. In the Selection view screen area, choose the desired options.
7. In the CE selection fields screen area, choose the desired (only
    possible for report categories of the LDB PNPCE).
8. Save your entries.
9. Choose the subactivity Permitted selection criteria.
10. Choose Edit -> New entries.
11. In the Select option field, use the input help to select each field
    that should be available on the selection screen.
12. Select the checkbox in the 1.page column, if you want this selection
    field to be available directly when you call the selection screen.
Further notes
13. If you want to copy entries, you still have to enter the selection
    parameters again in the subsequent screen.
o   If you create the report category '000000000', a selection screen is
    generated according to report category '00000000'for all reports for
    which a report category has not explicitly been assigned.
Assign Report Categories
In this step, you assign a report category to your reports.
Example
You have created your own report, for example ZPCTEST1, and would like
    it to have the selection screen that corresponds to that of the
    evaluation report for Payroll, which is assigned to report category
    '__M00001'.
    Assign report category '__M00001' to the report.
Requirements
You must have defined the Report Categories.
Standard settings
SAP Standard Reports:
In the standard system, reports are assigned a report category. If you
    want to override these assignments, perform the activities described
    here. If you want to assign report categories to standard reports using
    SE38, this represents a modification.
Customer-Specific Reports:
For reports you have developed yourself, you can either assign report
    categories by performing the activities described here or directly in SE38.
Recommendation
Only assign a report category if you have created your own reports or if
the selection screens in the standard system do not meet your
requirements.
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Perform the required assignment using the Program name and Report
   category fields.
3. Save your entries.

How to create a master object?

Hey! Could you please tell me if it is possible to create a master object in adobe muse, which I can edit and it will automatically apply change to that object everywhere where I used this object? For example, I have a push button for downloading a file. This button is present on multiple pages of my website (however it is linked to different files). Therefore, I want to be able to edit the design of that button and do not waste time going to every page where it is present in order to change to a new design.

Hi
We do have an option where in you may place the button on master page and apply the same to the pages where you want that button to show up, and any changes you make in design will automatically gets applied to all the pages,however, in that case its not possible to link them to different files as the items placed on master page cannot be edited on individual pages.
Hence, I am afraid its not possible to achieve the functionality you looking for within Muse at this stage of development.

Pagination changes result in master objects moving

Whenever my pagination changes, either from documents in my book starting on an even page, or by inserting a page the objects set in my master pages move (generally toward the gutter). I can reapply the master page as a fix and select the option of using the master page size to put the objects back where they should be.
This issue does not occur when I start from a template that I did not create and is known to not have this issue, but once I start making edits to the objects on the master pages that are necessary for my project the issue pops up. I'm duplicating existing boxes. And the perplexing thing is that when I just have "Words" in the boxes for my headers the issue does not occur, but when I enter the actual text that I need for my project it does. When I go back to "Words" the issue doesn't occur anymore. The text fits in the box, no preflight errors. The issue is popping up on my machine and one of my colleagues.

1. You need to load the heirarchy along with product master data.
2. You dont need any downtime for transaction data; guess you have delta.
3. reg queries ( especially after change in hierarchy structure), the users should be educated of the change. If you have any hier variable on a any node and if that node is gone with change in hier, then you have to take care of that.
4. If you have any variable on a hier node, the query will give error, if that node has gone as a change in the hierarchy.

Section Master Objects Every Other Page

Hello,
I am using Pages version 5.1 and I have a 13 pages document that gives me the following trouble:
I have section master objects and headers that appear just every other page.
There only a single section for the whole document.
Why is this happenning and how to resolve it please?
Thanks,
Dan

Open a blank document in Pages 5.1 and Paste the content in. You will probably have to Make Master Objects Selectable in the old document before Selecting and Copying it and you will probably have to re-apply the Section Master attribute in the new document.

Keynote master objects locked when dragged onto page?

Why can't I edit the objects on the page after dragging the master slide onto the Slides panel? It says 'The object you are trying to select can only be edited in the master slide'. I have another Keynote file where this doesn't happen.
Thanks.

I was successfully able to implement a rowset in a page bean.
Here is how I did it.
Drop VIR > State on page (creates stateDataProvider and a row set in the session bean). This step is optional. It is just one way to force the dialog box to appear in the next step.
Drop State on page again, a dialog box appears.
Select Create Page 1 radio button and click OK (creates stateDataProvider1).
Drop a Table component on the page. The table displays dummy data.
Bind the Table component to stateDataProvider1.
Get rid of stateDataProvider and the session bean's stateRowSet. (Right-click on the nodes in the Outline window and choose Delete)
Run the project. The table displays the data.

Master Objects in Page layout

It seems from a number of archived posts that Master Objects dont work when in page layout mode. The help menu says its possible but doesnt say how.
I think this should be considered a bug as Page layout needs master as much as word processing.
Any thoughts?

I was hoping to use Pages for a relatively simple newsletter. Today, I started trying to learn Pages. What a disappointment! I wish to prepare a simple multi-page newsletter. master pages, and the ability to place small master objects such as logo's are important. The job really needs to be done in layout mode. And the Pages' limitation that there be one and only one page in each section of a layout document is a show-stopper. This seriously cripples the utility of master objects, and thus the whole Pages program.
To make matters worse, the Apple documentation is, I believe, very misleading. It clearly implies one can do things such as have different master object positioning in facing pages of a layout document. But, it appears one simply cannot do this with any degree of ease. (I've copied relevant text from the Pages Help documentation below, so you can judge for yourselves....)
Apple: you need to update this program, and until you do, you need to be sure the documentation accurately reflects what the program can and cannot do.
Someone please let me know if I'm wrong!
From the pages help menu: "You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in the same spot on every page of your word processing and page layout documents. These repeated graphics are called master objects.
If your document is divided into sections, you can put different master objects in each section. Within a section, you can put a different master object on the first page of the section and on right and left pages in the section. See Setting Up a Unique Format for a Section’s First Page and Formatting Facing Pages in a Section for more information."

Master Object creation option dimmed

I cannot see how to move object (selected) to master object as it remains dimmed. Any ideas?

There are 6 kinds of breaks:
*Line Break:* (shift-return) breaks the end of a line without making an end of paragraph.
*Paragraph Break:* (return) marks an end of paragraph.
*Column Break:* (menu item) jumps to the beginning of the next column or next page if last column on a page.
*Page Break:* (cmd-enter) makes the text jump to the next text box on the next page.
*Section Break:* (menu item) breaks a section, you can then vary master objects, headers, footers, page numbers. Sections can be reordered and moved together in the thumbnails. Each page in Layout mode is a section of its own.
*Layout Break:* (menu item) ends one layout and starts a new one with different columns and margins, does not change headers, footers, page numbers or other section formatting.

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.
