Move Objects - X 40?

I have created a Pages '08 document with a custom paper size of 54x36 to be printed professionally as a stand-alone poster.
However, when I attempt to specify (i.e. type in) the X of any inserted object, such as a line, Pages refuses to allow X values greater than somewhere in the range of 39 or 40. I can still "nudge" the object over and drag it to the specified position, but I cannot specify the position absolutely.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? Am I missing something simple?

Hi Stephen,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
I just tried this with a test document, and can confirm that the scroll arrows in the Metrics Inspector conk out at just under 40" in both X and Y directions (and that the boxes won't accept typed entries greater than about the same amount).
BUT that doesn't seem to be the case in Numbers.
Open a "blank" Numbers sheet with the same 54x36" dimensions, delete the table, and you're left with an empty sheet on which you can place graphics, shapes and Text boxes, then reposition them at will by dragging or by using the Metrics Inspector. Move your poster project to the Numbers sheet, and carry on from there.
Regards,
Barry

  • "Move Object to Section Master" is not working please help

    I am usng Pages 4.3 and when I selction a text box or object and select "Move Object to Section Master" nothing is happening. Like it is not working
    Anyone else had this problem?
    Any idea how to fix it?
    Suggestions would be much appreciated

    Thanks for the reply fruhulda.
    I have been able to work out whats going on. I created a document by inserting 4 pages and then wanted to apply an image that would be on every page of the document. However the "Move Object to Section Master" will not apply if you insert a new page, which is a bit of a pain if you want to move the order of your pages. It would be great if Apple had another option in Pages to be apply the image, text box, etc for use as a watermark or corporate marking to the whole document regardless of the section its in. That way if we need to move a page or section you would have to recreate the image and positioning in each secton like I have had to do.
    I am sure others would have experienced this limitation when creating documents.
    If Apple ever come out with a new version of iWork hopefully this will be improved. 

  • Why is "move object to section Master" is dimmed?

    I import a tiff image to a page layout document.
    I select it and go to Format->Advanced ->move object to section Master
    the submenu selection is dimmed.
    Can anyone help?

    DennisG wrote:
    I can think of two reasons why it would be dimmed out: 1) you didn't select the object; and 2) you're working in a page layout document, where each page is its own section. Since the purpose of a section master is to repeat an image on every page of a section, having one-page sections makes section masters unnecessary and, therefore, unavailable as an option.
    I apologize but it seems that you are wrong
    The User's Guide states:
    +Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images)+
    +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.+
    And I checked that I may perfectly do the trick in a Page Layout document : I tested with the "Tokyo Letter"
    From my point of view the OP has just inserted an inline object, not a floating one !

  • Can't move objects small distances

    CS6, OS X
    I can't seem to move objects in my drawing small distances..I'm used to being able to do this..must be some setting I hit, but I can't find which one it might be. I have snap to off, but this isn't behaving like snap to..it's behaving like I'm only "allowed" to move objects certain distances; any smaller and the object simply doesn't move at all..
    can someone shine a light on this?
    thank you!

    FlashKatt when you create a new Doicument such as a web document uncheck the option in the new document options dialog and it then will not be a problem for that document it is a default settings for a couple of the sandard document types that are rgb based.
    Always check to see if the option is on when creting a new document.
    Also be aware if you are actually creating a web document then the option is actually useful as it will prevent you from creating and aligning elements that will not work on the web as you intend.
    Rememebr there is no fraction of a pixel on the web only whole pixels.

  • Can't Move Objects, Can't Uninstall CC

    I'm running Adobe CC on Mac OS X Yosemite. I've got variations on the same problem, but the main thrust is: I can't move objects.
    More detailed: I booted up InDesign this morning and started working in it. All of a sudden, I couldn't move any of my objects. Can't resize them, can't drag them, nothing. So I look up the issue and this is an ongoing problem apparently. I have done the following:
    • Held down Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Command before the launch screen to delete preferences (didn't work)
    • Manually found the Preferences and Caches folder and renamed them (didn't work)
    • Uninstalled Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, then reinstalled (didn't work)
    • Restarted my computer after doing the first two (this worked for five minutes until I opened a browser window, and then the problem was back.
    The next step I would've taken is uninstalling CC and all the applications, clearing the software, and reinstalling everything. Except now I'm being told I can't uninstall CC. Because it's in use. When it's not.
    Look, Adobe, I like the product. But this is bulls***. I've done everything everyone on every message board has done to solve the problem, and it hasn't fixed this. I need the CC in order to maintain job performance. I also need to use the Internet at the same time. This shouldn't be hard.

  • Can't copy/paste or move objects.

    Entire Edit Menu, other than "Clear" is grayed out – can't copy/paste anything. Also can't move objects with direct selection tool. Reset preferences and still have same problem. Ideas?
    Mac 10.6.8, CS5.5
    Thanks!

    I just had this problem as well. I'm using InDesign CS6, MacOS 10.6.8 where my cut & Paste grayed out and after I made any kind of object. Even though I could select it, I couldn't drag it/move it UNLESS I used my arrow keys to do so. I tried deleting my prefs and restarting InDesign multiple times as listed above but after a full shut down and restart of my machine I finally saw operations return to normal.
    Just an FYI.

  • GAME: best way to MOVE objects: tweenlite them or increment their x any values

    As the title says, need best way to move objects in game. Always used x and y increments. Read about tweenlite and use it, very easy. So which do I use taking into account that these games can be ported to mobiles ie: which is more optimized. It's a platform type game. I will have
    a. A little girl that walks and climbs
    b. Little platforms that slide from side to side - you have to jump on them
    c. The little girl will jump
    d. Little baddies will fly around the screen.
    ALSO, as the girl jumps I would like it to look natural
    a. Gravity as she falls down
    b. The correct increment on x and y as she jumps.
    Shouldn't their be an actionscript 3 games forum . anybody know a good site for that?
    Cheers in advance

    OK - I get the message. I should increment x.
    I must have phrased the question wrongly. I'm just looking at optimization techniques so when games go on mobile they work OK.

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse, so

    Adobe Creative Suite CS5 is acting up. In Illustrator i was unable to move objects with my mouse and tried solving the problem in different ways - it still didnt work. So i opened up photoshop. I was unable to open a file in photoshop (new or old) and when i finally did manage to open something, I am unable to do many things.
    1) i cannot crop canvas    
    2) i cannot resize canvas
    3) text dissapears after i type it
    4) brush strokes dissapear after i release mouse
    etc
    What should i do??
    Thank you!

    Nobody can help you without system info or otehr details. From your description this could be driver issues with a tablet if you use one or similar issues with a programmable custom mouse... Most definitely not an issue within the programs. Unplug your mouse and tablet, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, try another input device...

  • Using the arrow keys to move objects in photoshop issue

    When I move objects around in Photoshop using the arrow keys something odd to me happens.  When I press the left arrow key it seems to move 2 pixels then when I press the right arrow key it seems like it moves 1 pixel.  I noticed this when I had 3 objects.  One was centered and I wanted to move both the other objects 20 pixels away.  One looked twice as far away.  I looked closer and I found out that was the problem.  This also happens when using the up and down arrow keys.  Is that supposed to happen and is there a way to fix it? Thanks

    BOILERPLATE TEXT:

  • Indesign CS4 Very Slow - can move objects easily anymore!

    We are running CS4 - Even the most simple files are difficult open.  When opened, it is hard to move objects or type any characters. All we get is the Apple pinwheel.  We are running OS x 10.5 with 4 GB of memory.  We dont know what to do-please advise.

    I use CS4, mostly InDesign and Photoshop. I recently upgraded my iMac from 1 GB to 3GB of RAM, and everything was awesomely fast. CS4 worked well. Then I updated my system from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, and immediately both InDesign & Photoshop developed a pause approx. every 5 seconds. No matter what I’m doing within either program, no matter how large or small the file, no matter how many or few applications I have open, I still get the very same beachball-spinning pause with every little thing I try to do, always. It’s very frustrating, I am having a lot of trouble getting any work done. The performance is way worse with 3 GB RAM than it was with just 1!
    I am not having this problem with the rest of my applications within my system, such as Mail and Safari, and I haven't really noticed it with Acrobat. It does seem that the update caused this with CS4. I've tried a couple of things, such as zapping the PRAM and closing a bunch of fonts but nothing has made the slightest difference.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • My mouse freezes in adobe muse can not move objects

    the problem is that my mouse after a few minutes it freezes and will not let me move objects.
    this happens with adobe muse 2014.2
    and the worst is that my file can not be opened with earlier versions ( help)

    I think this is a bug in the new update. I have made numerous sites since and all of them have gotten the horiztonal scroll. I mentioned it in the bug section and had a staff member help me with my first issue but have not heard anything else since.
    This is a pretty serious bug, you can not launch a website with a horizontal scroll like this.
    on another note, I really like the look of your site, very slick so far!

  • Cannot Move Objects with Arrows - Ai CS5

    For some reason I cannot move objects with my arrow keys in Illustrator cs5. I can drag them and transform-move them but the arrow keys don't work. very annoying.
    Any clues as to what I can do to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Could happen if your keyboard increment value is zero or a very low number.

  • Initialize QTMovie in a child thread by passing Movie object.

    I'm working on an Qt (Qt framework) application in which I'm making use of a .mm file to call MAC specific functions.
    I need to initialize QTMovie in a child thread by passing Movie object.
    [QTMovie movieWithQuickTimeMovie:movie disposeWhenDone:TRUE error:nil]
    It appears like I have to initialize QTMovie in main thread. I came across performSelectorOnMainThread which might be of some help. Could anyone please show me the right usage of the same?
    I need to call a method using performSelectorOnMainThread by passing the Movie object to it and which returns the initialized QTMovie object.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ah, you seem to be on to something, there. The main thread gives
    sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@111f71
    while the child thread gives null. The same occurs whether the experiment is in
    the same JVM instance or not.
    So presumably this means I need to get the context loader from the main thread
    and set it in the child thread manually!?
