Method to lock alignment guides (pages 5.5)

Is there a method to lock "alignment guides" in Pages? I seem to be constantly grabbing them accidentally. Probably just moving too fast. But was hoping there would be a method to lock them in position once they are set-up.
Thank-you, John L.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening the wrong one.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, iOS 7 Pages, Pages for iCloud beta or iCloud files.
Pages 5 only runs on Mavericks and can not open Pages '08 or earlier files at all and alters/damages Pages '09 files, which once saved can not be opened by anything other than Pages 5.
Pages 5 files are in an odd compressed bundle, impossible to parse, which won't transfer via non-Apple servers. DropBox may have patched theirs, I haven't checked lately.
All Pages files, no matter what version or compatibility, have the same file extension: .pages.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages and many of the rest are buggy. They have confused their users and apparently themselves with the installations, upgrades and cross-transfers of files. Effectively Pages 5 files are only compatible with themselves in a very narrow range of hardware and software.

We are recommending users "upgrade" back to Pages '09 and trash/archive Pages 5 after Exporting their Pages 5 files back to Pages '09 or Word .docx files.
You should give Apple and other users feedback by rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store.

Where are the alignment guides in Pages 5?

In the old version of Pages I could drag down or across from the ruler and would have an alignment guide. Where is that in Pages 5?

It looks like Apple took every feature that could not be supported in Safari out of Pages for mac.
I recommend switching to http://www.adobe.com/products/incopy.html
It turns out "free" means "worthless" to Apple.

Alignment Guides In Pages 5

What happened to Alignment Guides? #APPLE are you being serious?!
The new Pages 5 is a joke.

Ah, gotcha. Alignment guides that show up when you are on, near or around an object.
But what about dragging out guides from the Rulers both vertical and horizontal?
Is that possible? I think you used to be able to hit 'W' and they would show. Thanks for your help!

How to repeat alignment guides on every page?

In my Pages document I have set a few alignment guides. I would like to repeat those on every page, without adding them manually. Just like a master object, I would like to add the guides to the 'masterpage'.

They are part of any captured Master Page just as anything else on that page is.
If you don't know how to capture Master Pages:

I can't move my column guides (lock column guides in unchecked)

I can't move my column guides (lock column guides in unchecked)
I have created a text box with 4 columns, I want the first column to be wader than the other 3.
I have unchecked 'Lock Column Guides' (and double checked I have done this correctly!)
If I use either selection tool to try and drag the colun guides it just picks up and moves my entire text box.
What am I missing? Sorry if it's obvious, it's driving me mad!
Thanks

You can't have a multi-column text frame with variable width columns. Unchecking "Lock Column Guides" will allow you to reposition the COLUMN GUIDES not the text frame itself. Right now your text frame might be getting in your way, but if you move the text frame, you should be able to click on the COLUMN GUIDES and reposition them. I'd recommend moving these column guides on the Master Page so that the new guide setup will appear on all pages that are based on that Master Page. You can then create separate text frames linked together for each column on the Master Page. There are pros and cons to this. One con is that Span Columns can't be used with this method.

Anyone know how to remove a stubborn alignment guide

I'm working in a Page Layout document. There is an alignment guide on the 2nd page. I cannot get rid of it! I cannot move it. I can't "select" it. I can delete the page and insert another page, from the Insert Menu, but it shows up again. It must have been there when I captured the page.
Is there a keyboard trick or menu item somewhere?
I can create a new guide, move it around, and move it off the page. But, this one guide stays and it gets in my way.
Any ideas or suggestions??
Thanks a bunch!

That's kind of what I ended up doing.
I didn't want to create a totally fresh page, because there were things on the first page I wanted to be on each page and didn't want to recreate them over and over.
What I did was open a brand new PL document and then I selected all the things on the first page that I wanted and pasted it into the new document. Then I chose to Manage the Pages.
The alignment guide was then gone. I don't know why I couldn't select this one! It hasn't repeated.
thanks

How do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

how do you modify the web.xml to lock down the pages from a user role

I'll make a stab at your question:
The following is an example of where a URL is protected within a web.xml deployment descriptor. In this example, the URL /protectedA within the application is protected:

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>protectedA</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/protectedA</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>

<auth-constraint>
<role-name>sr_developer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resources window then I have to refresh the internet search address line at the top of Safari. Can someone tell me how to stop this. It started after a software upgrade. It didn’t do that before. Thank you.

A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

JDev 11.1.2.1 Execute method (with bind variable) before page is displayed

Hi All,
I have a view object with a query that uses a bind variable. I drag the data control onto my .jsf page to create a table. I create a query method on a view scope bean. The query method uses the contents of one of the bean's attributes to set the bind variable for the query:
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("CraIdBindVar", sessionBean.getCraId());
I place a button on the page that invokes the query method and it populates the table. This is fine but I don't want the user to have to click on the 'query' button when they navigate to this page. I have found forums that discuss creating an AMImpl.jave method, creating a binding on the page, creating an executable for the binding. This works in that the method is executed before the page is displayed. However, the AMImpl method cannot call sessionBean.getCraid() to get the necessary data item to populate the bind variable.
Is there a way to execute my view scope bean method before the page is displayed? Or perhaps a way for the AMImpl.java method to access the view scope variable?
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
you can drag a method call activity onto the task flow. Then select the new method call activity and open the property inspector. Here you select the method from your bean in the method property. Now you first navigate to this method call activity and then to the page.

Centre Align Web Page Content

Hi,
Need some help center aligning web page content when it maximizes or is resized. I have grids, panels, etc and want these to center on page.
Is there a property of the page/body/head/form/div that can be set for this or is javascript required to achieve this.
Any help mcuh appreciated.
SNI

How to center align preview page

When I preview my webpage (which I am creating in fireworks) in the browser it is to the left of the page, How do I center align it?? Thank you in advance for your help

You shouldn't be creating your total web page in Fireworks, only the graphics :-)
You should slice up the images you need and then export those and use them in your HTML or via the stylesheet as background images. A web page that is full of images will only slow down the loading plus not be indexed by search engines...
To then center the page, you need to use CSS to to align the page in the center of the browser window regardless of window size. This again, is done when you move over to the HTML editor, not in FWs.
A good tutorial that may help the transition from taking a FWs comp to HTML

Align By Page in 11.5

I have noticed in 11.5 that the option to align a group of objects by the page margins while keeping the objects relative to each other is gone. Please tell me this option is just hidden somewhere and is still available!
Blanchard

Sorry for the delay in my reply. What I am seeing is a loss in functionality from 11.3 to 11.5 (we do not use 11.4 in our office so can't say how it works) If I select multiple objects on a Section and want to align that group by the page and keep the relative spacing between the objects, I can't.
For example, I have a set of three objects that are not the same size or evening aligned by a side or center - but they are where I need them in relation to each other:
.....Policy Number:......................Effective Date:.......Expiration Date:
..........XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX................MM/DD/YYYY........MM/DD/YYYY
If I resize the section these objects are on, or change the margins, I will want to realign these objects as a group to a new position. In 11.3 and earlier I could select all objects and do an Align By Page. All the objects would move to the margin in question but stay in relative position to each other. Now, in 11.5 I do not have an Align by Page option, only a Center on Page option. This option will move off of the objects to the new position and change their relative positions to each other. For example, if I chose Center in Page --> Vertical then the two lines become one line with the objects on top of each other.
I realized this lack of previous functionality when I found that 11.5 Selection Area for Section resizes the area selected and repositions all of the objects into the newly sized section (see previous post from me on this forum). When I resized the section back to the correct size, the objects were in the wrong positions. I have not been able to determine a way to move all of the objects quickly and as a group because I can only align by a single master object of center every object within the page. I can't align to page left, right, top or bottom. I think these features should be brought back, especially given the Select Area for Section issue in 11.5.

Can you lock "continued on page x" so it won't flow with text?

I have my text boxes linked and as I revise text everything moves. Is there a way to lock (continued of page X) from flowing with the text and stay in the appropriate text box?
Thanks.
I know I could use a separate text box but in this case, I haen't enuf room outside to main text box.

Make it a floating textbox at the position you need and give it wrap to push away the text in the main text body.

Alignment guides

I have smart guides turned on in CS5 and am moving an object around another object and see the alignment guides that come out horizontally, though I am not sure what they indicate? I get a horizontal line when one shape is next to another, is this simply indicating the point that I am dragging it where the two shapes are lines up on the same y access? What about shapes of different sizes, do these come out when lining up objects are lined up at their center points in the shapes?
Thanks.

Stan,
At least in 10 it works this way:
When you click somewhere and drag, you will get indications based upon the cursor position, relative to:
1) The original spot you click, with lines in the directions chosen in the Edit>Preferences>Smart Guides & Slices (normally every 45 degrees, including horizontal and vertical);
2) Whatever your cursor go over, including paths and centres.
So to align one shape with another, you may choose the most suitable spot on the former and drag until you get a hit for the other and take it from there. Just a few instances:
If you wish to abut the sides with bottom alignment, you may Click the relevant corner of the former and ClickDrag it until it says Corner for the latter.
If you wish to just align the bottoms at an arbitrary distance, you may Click somewhere along the bottom of the former and Drag it until it says Path (or Intersect) for the latter, let go, and ClickDrag sideways as you wish as long as it says On.

Aligning Guides Glitch With "Use Preview Bounds" Checked

I recently noticed in the Preferences that there is a check box option for "Use Preview Bounds" in Illustrator.
When checked, effects such as strokes and all will be clickable and transform sizes will be based on the "preview" bounds of an object.
However convenient, the option poses a problem for people who like to align guides to their artboards or even distribute them.
If you try and align guides to your artboards using the "Align" panel, weird things occur and it does not do so.
If you try and distribute multiple guides using the "Align" panel, the guides don't do anything.
This is something that should be addressed and fixed in future versions of Adobe Illustrator.

In case you're going to do an official bug report, you might want to mention that this bug has been there for at least one decade …
