Multiple columns in pages 5

I'm trying to write a document where mid way through i want a 2 column bullet point list of text but then to change the document back into 1 column afterwards. I can't work out how to change the amount of columns from 1 to 2 then back to 1 in pages 5.
Is this possible and if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Select the text you want to be 2 columns > Format > Text > Layout > Columns > 2

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

How do i print multiple columns on 1 page in numbers

I think I am over thinking this but I have confused myself. I am using Numbers to create a spreadsheet of family names with their corresponding number. I would like to print multiple columns of names on one page to save paper but I can't figure how to do it. Will someone please help me???

Hi BestMommy,
Here is one way. Don't mess with your database. Create a new table for printing.
Database with a Header Row (named Table 1 as an example) might look like this:
Name
1
Name 1
2
Name 2
3
Name 3
4
Name 4
5
Name 5
6
Name 6
7
Name 7
8
Name 8
9
Name 9
10
Name 10
11
Name 11
12
Name 12
13
Name 13
14
Name 14
15
Name 15
New table for printing:
Name

Formula in A2
=Table 1::A2
Formula in B2
=Table 1::B2
Formula in C2
=Table 1::A9
Formula in D2
=Table 1::B9
So it loops back from the bottom of a page to start a new column.
I made this example small for the pics, but obviously you could have more rows and columns per page.
Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet.
Have a look at 'More Like This' at the bottom of this page. Trying to format page to print table in two columns Jerry suggests using Pages instead of Numbers.

Ian.

Multiple columns in the Welcome page

How can I create multiple columns in the Welcome page like Stanford's and Duke's?

Stanford and Duke are super special sites that have access to experimental iTunes U layouts. They take all the risks so we don't have to.
It's been covered before in this forum, but the good news is that we might, one day, have access to the same layout.

Cross-Tab in multiple columns on same page rather than on multiple pages

I have a report that shows temperature readings and the date/time of the reading in a cross tab as a part of a report. The amount of readings causes the cross-tab to take up multiple pages. What I would like to do is set the cross tab to appear three or four times on the same page before going to the next page to reduce the number of pages in my report. Any ideas on how I can do this?
This is what I have:
Page 1:
Date/Time1 | Temp1
Date/Time2 | Temp2
Date/Time3 | Temp3
Date/Time4 | Temp4
Page 2:
Date/Time5 | Temp5
Date/Time6 | Temp6
Date/Time7 | Temp7
Date/Time8 | Temp8
What I want is:
Page 1
Date/Time1 | Temp1..............Date/Time5 | Temp5..............Date/Time9   | Temp9
Date/Time2 | Temp2..............Date/Time6 | Temp6..............Date/Time10 | Temp10
Date/Time3 | Temp3..............Date/Time7 | Temp7..............Date/Time11 | Temp11
Date/Time4 | Temp4..............Date/Time8 | Temp8..............Date/Time12 | Temp12
Page 2
Date/Time13 | Temp17............Date/Time21 | Temp21............Date/Time25 | Temp25
Date/Time14 | Temp18............Date/Time22 | Temp22............Date/Time26 | Temp26
Date/Time15 | Temp19............Date/Time23 | Temp23............Date/Time27 | Temp27
Date/Time16 | Temp20............Date/Time24 | Temp24............Date/Time28 | Temp28

hello,
Don's suggestion of creating a "mock cross tab" is a good one.
you can also try this Multiple Columns formatting idea if you wish:
1) create a new report
2) create a group on your date field
3) put a summary on your Temp field and move it into the group header of the group
4) suppress the details section and the group footer
5) right click on the details section header in the design mode and choose Section Expert
6) in the Common tab, choose Format With Multiple Columns
7) in the Layout tab, choose a Width of about 2.66"
8) choose Down Then Across for Printing Directions
9) choose Format Groups With Multiple Columns
10) bring this new report into your existing report as a subreport

Page caption text won't flow into multiple columns : LR4 book module

Hi,
I'm in process of creating a photobook using LR4's Book Module. Whenever I create a multiple columns page or photo caption, the text won't flow from the 1st column into the suceeding column... does this happen to anybody else. The multiple columns feature however does work for normal text placeholders.

Dorin,
You guess right but that's not very useful to me because sometimes I just want to have a few lines of text at the bottom or at the top of the photo but in 2 or 3 columns for easier reading. I can do that with text placeholders like the one below and the ability to do that with page or photo caption would be desirable too.

How do I create multiple columns with bullets in pages

I'm trying to figure out how to create multiple columns within a document in which I bullet information...

At the point you wish to change to two columns, Insert > Columns and then in the Layout Inspector, select the number of columns. After the insertion point, you will also need to insert another Column Change to return the following paragraphs to single column.
Then Select the text to be bulleted and in the Text Inspector > List tab select the type of bullets.
Note: This creates two columns that flow together. This can be tricky if you add any text later.
If you wish to ensure alignment, create a two column text table and remove the lines with the Graphic Inspector > Lines > No Lines option and insert your text in each column and apply the bullets as above.
This will create a text box - you then need to ensure it moves with the text by electing "Object Moves With Text" in the Wrpa Inspector.

Multiple columns on same page?

I'm looking for a way to have a two column page layout, with three columns each that flows from page 1 column 1, to page 1 column 2, then to page 2 column 1 to page 2 column 2, etc. It's for a karaoke list and the columns are Song, Artist, and Song #, and I want to save paper by having two columns per page.
In Excel I have to copy the spreadsheet into a two column word document, and it really slows down. An example of my layout is here... http://karaoke.seanphafer.com/page4/files/KaraokeUpdates27Dec06.pdf

I'd almost do a Word "Mail Merge" from Excel. I've done program fliers this way and only takes a few seconds to do the merge (1000s of items.) Not quite a Numbers solution...

Multiple columns per report page

I've created a simple one-column report and would like to display more than one column per page (reducing the # of pages to scroll through). This would seem to be a simple task yet I'm having difficulty locating the supporting documentation. I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi there Otto... If I understand you correctly, you might need to look into the LEAD function.
Here's an example:
with table1 as
(SELECT ROWNUM rn, 'Line ' || ROWNUM text
FROM all_objects
WHERE ROWNUM <= 10)
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT rn, text AS text_col1,
LEAD (text, 1) OVER (ORDER BY rn) AS text_col2,
LEAD (text, 2) OVER (ORDER BY rn) AS text_col3
FROM table1)
WHERE MOD (rn, 3) = 1
outputs
RN,TEXT_COL1,TEXT_COL2,TEXT_COL3
1,Line 1,Line 2,Line 3
4,Line 4,Line 5,Line 6
7,Line 7,Line 8,Line 9
10,Line 10

Matrix exporting to excel with empty columns, with page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.

I am working with Report Builder 3.0 I am using a matrix to produce grouped data on separate worksheets in excel.
The select is:
SELECT ID, Measurement, Value, [Date] FROM Measurements_Report. (please ignore the underscores they are just for formatting)
The contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33_____10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44_____10/2/2014
3___Cold_________55_____10/2/2014
The matrix contains a single row group based on the field "measurement". The Measurement group has the page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.
There is a column group based on the field "Date".
When this is matrix is exported to excel on the first worksheet (Hot) there are three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014____10/2/2014___10/2/1014
1___33
2_______________44
Notice the last column doesn't have a value.
On the second worksheet (Cold) there are also three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014___10/2/2014___10/2/1014
3__________________________55
This time notice there is only one row and only a value in the last column.
I only want the columns with data for that worksheet to show up. How can I remove these empty/duplicate columns? Hopefully there is a simple fix. Thanks ahead of time.

With the following contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________43______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44______10/2/2014
3___Cold________55______10/2/2014
Returns on the first tab (Hot):
ID__10/1/2014____10/1/2014____10/2/2014
1___33
2_________________43
2______________________________44
In the excel worksheet it contains a separate column for each date with a value. Thanks again!
Why is the same date repeating on multiple columns? Do you've the time part also returned from database?

How to link Excel Chart with multiple columns dynamically?

Hi all,
I have one problem. I have an excel chart which has to read data from multiple columns for it's X-axis values (time stamps) and the same number of values for it's Y-axis from multiple columns. See figure attached.
Now, you can do this by manually assigning values by holding control key to tell the chart that data from many columns is continued from the first column. i.e, a long data is distributed along may columns. This is done very easily manually.
Now, how to do it at runtime through LabVIEW 8.0?
Although, I have done it through labview when there where only two columns, A and B streching up to any length. But, now to save space we are dumping into many columns in the same page and want the chart plot that data as we dump it.
It is tough since I don't know how to assign SourceData of the chart through labview.
I have attached chart's SourceData picture.
Hope you all can solve my problem.
The Y-axis values are: =(good!$B$30:$B$70,good!$D$30:$D$70,good!$F$30:$F$70,good!$H$30:$H$70,good!$B$71:$B$140,good!$D$71:$D$140,good!$F$71:$F$140,good!$H$71:$H$140,good!$B$141:$B$189)
good is the name of the file.
The X- axis values are: =(good!$A$30:$A$70,good!$C$30:$C$70,good!$E$30:$E$70,good!$G$30:$G$70,good!$A$71:$A$140,good!$C$71:$C$140,good!$E$71:$E$140,good!$G$71:$G$140,good!$A$141:$A$189)
See the columns vary from A to F.
I have still not got what I love.....

Crystal Report multiple columns

I'm having trouble with Crystal Report's multiple columns in the detail section.
The details section, the multiple columns is checked then the printing direction is across - down. Since the form I am using is a pre-printed form, by estimation it can only allow at best 30 records in one page, that is 15 in the 1st half of the column and another 15 records on the next. For visual:
Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total                                               Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total
1                                                                                16
2                                                                                17
3                                                                                .
.                                                                                28
14                                                                                29
15                                                                                30
For some reason there is this giant space after the last set of rows before it prints out the page footer. This giant blank section disrupts the layout of the page footer section.
Here are some info on the details section as configuration is involved:
Format with Multiple Columns - checked
In Paging: New Page after 30 visible Records
In Layout: Width: 3.5 in       Height: 0.0 in
                 Horizontal: 0.0 in      Vertical: 0.0 in
Printing Direction: Across-Down
Anyone knows how to suppress it or have the page footer move upwards?
P.S To see actual pre-printed form, please download this [http://www.mediafire.com/i/?csu0q75mjynys2k]
Edited by: Khristine Angelei Basilla on Mar 1, 2012 8:34 AM

Now why didn't I try that out. Actually, initial plan was 2 subreports.
So when I added the second subreport in the group footer section, it only prints the details on the last page, which should not be the case as I need to be printed on all pages.
I'll test it out. I'll post an update soon.
Thanks.

Master-detail list - how to spread over multiple columns

I am using the master-detail functionality to create a image viewer.
I have a long list of master thumbnails, and rather than having them go down the page in one column, I would like to make them spread over 2 or 3 columns before the detail column.
(example of format I am trying to achieve - http://www.franbainbridgephotography.com.au/gallery.html (I dont mind whether master thumbnails are on right or left of detail photo))
You can see my problem on http://www.wcwra.com/webpages/images.php
Is this possible with the master-detail functionality?
Thank you!

The brilliant David Powers has fixed this for me on the main forum (vw2ureg was v close). David's answer is :
There is no way of making a single dataset repeat in multiple columns, because it's simply one element being repeated over and over.
However, with a little out of the box thinking, you can do it quite easily with thumbnails. Instead of putting the master column repeat region in a block level element, use an inline element, <span>. Images are treated by browsers as inline elements, so this should work just fine. Change the following code from this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</div>
</div>
to this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <span class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</span>
</div>
In your CSS, set the width of the MasterColumn class to the width of your thumbnails, and the width of MasterContainer so that it's wide enough to accommodate two or more thumbnails. The thumbnails will flow into the column two or three abreast.

Multiple Column Report Question

Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Is there a way to create multiple New Tabs pages and name them?

This feature is great but I would like to be able to create multiple new tabs pages and label them. This would be more useful than tabs groups that all load at once.

No that is (currently) not possible.
It will be possible in future Firefox version to specify the number of rows and columns.
