Numbering lines in Pages

Hello everybody,
I need to add line numbers to my document, but don't know how to do this in Pages. Also, when I import a Word document with line numbers into Pages, then the numbers will disappear. Can anyone help?
(In general it would be also nice if Pages could show me in what line I am when working on my document. However, the bottom shows only the page but never the line. Also here, some advice would be greatly appreciated!).
Thanks,
Johannes

It still seems comparatively difficult though. If I understand it correctly, then I have to enter the line numbers myself, right? And those numbers would then be the same on every page, which is not what I need...
Also, I'd still like to see the line number as a general positional information at the bottom of Pages, so I know where I am in my document.
Cheers,
Johannes

    How can I generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??
    e.g. Page1 1-35

    Hi Labrat,
    My suggestion would be to create a Template in the Page Layout mode. This template would have a 1-column Table to present the line numbers and a Text Box for the Body Text. If you want the Line Numbers to stay in alignment with the Body Text, set the spacing for both to Exactly. Set the Table Cell Borders to None. The faint cell borders that you see in the following example are there because I am in View Layout mode. They will not show when printed.
    For my example I have used Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to create a Pull-down +Page option for a Numbered Line Page. You can Capture as many versions of your numbered pages as you like to avoid having to modify the Line Numbers on successive pages.
    Here's my example:

  • Moving Numbers Tables to Pages '08

    Hi guys,
    I've used Numbers to create some tables that were larger than 8.5x11. To fit them on a single sheet, I used the Content Scale slider. Works like a charm.
    Now, when I go to copy one of these tables to put it in Pages, I get the original, full-size version of the table when I paste it. Needless to say, that does not work at all - the tables are all out of whack and spread across multiple pages.
    How do you copy a Numbers table to Pages if the Numbers table is scaled down below 100%? I want the table to look exactly the same in Pages as it does in Numbers. And yes, I've already sent Apple feedback to let them know that this is a problem.
    But while I wait for Numbers/Pages '09, does anyone have a workaround that doesn't involve PDFs?

    Hi Richard,
    Thanks for the reply, but the problem is not empty rows and columns. When I created the tables I used 14 point Myriad Pro. The table (which is an income statement) is too large to fit on a single page at that font size. I did not worry about it, however, because I planned to just scale it down to make it fit.
    The real problem is that when you copy a table from Numbers, you get the table as it appears in the "Normal" view, NOT as it appears in the "Page Layout" view. Hence, when you paste it, the table is no longer scaled down like it was in Numbers' Page Layout view. That's infuriating - it's like setting your font to Helvetica and having it come out of your printer in Courier New! It makes the entire content scaling feature in Numbers useless if you plan to use your spreadsheets outside of that app.
    What's really frustrating is that so much of Numbers is utterly great! It has so many features that are just fantastic and make my life easy. But for each of those features, there's a basic, fundamental item like copying scaled-down tables to Pages or double-line cell borders that is missing. And the real shame is that none of it will be fixed before Numbers '09.

  • Dashed line between pages

    Is it possible to avoid the dashed line between pages when "Show Gaps Between Pages" is unchecked? In other words is it possible to have the 2 pages join seamlessly, no gaps, no dashed lines?

    "I would like to export the document to PDF using the spreads option, so that the spreads are combined into 1 page.
    However, is there a way for the PDF to recognise the page numbers originally specified in InDesign?"
    When you combine pages in a spread you make one page in Acrobat. I can't see how you would expect Acrobat to see this as
    two pages.

  • Cannot select last lines on page?

    I'm using Pages 09 and I am writing a novel. I have put the novel in the correct size/format for printing (so it isn't A4), and I want to make one or two minor tweaks and changes before I finish.
    However, I can't select the last 6-7 lines or page numbers at the bottom!
    I've done a google, but all I'm finding are forum posts without solutions. Has anyone come up with a reason or fix for this in the last three years?

    I am just helping my sister with her dissertation, she had the exact same problem. Do you experience also a visual bug with the grey area between two pages?
    This worked for me: open the inspector and go to the first tab, make sure you are at "Document" and have a look at the page size. I am working with the A5 format, and at one point it occurred to me, that in a new "fresh" document the page size is "14.82 cm x 20.99 cm" but in the dissertation (probably corrupted) file it was "14.82 cm x 21 cm". Then I clicked on "Page Setup" and selected A5 again – now the dissertation became "14.82 cm x 20.99 cm" too and the problem was gone.
    It's interesting that in this dissertation file, the error started only at about page 260, and affected more and more lines as more pages were added. Maybe the 0.01 cm error adds up, making more and more lines unselectable as higher the page number…

  • Page numbers on ALL pages

    I'm trying to insert page numbers on ALL pages in a document in InDesign CS4. But I can only get page numbers to the page 74? This is so annoying, and it's due on monday, and I'm running out of time. Can anybody tell me, short and easy, how I can get page numbers on every page in my document? (Besides the front page - but I know how to not get the page number there.)
    Thanks!
    Ingvild

    Huh? Simply put, you place the page number marker in a text frame on your master page(s), and you ensure that one of those master pages is applied to all pages where you want a page number.
    Is that what you've done? What is not working? Is it page 74 and higher that is a problem? Just page 74?
    Does page 74 use a different master page that doesn't have the page number marker?
    Or is your document corrupt? [Did you try exporting to IDML or INX and re-opening the export?]

  • How to give no of lines per page in alv report

    hi
    could anybody tell me
    how to give no of lines per page in alv report
    i need bottom of page too
    if possible plz send the code too
    it ll be very helpful to me
    thanx
    kals.

    Hi,
    This is possible, using some of the events in the ALV.
    You could use AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT event and call you form after say, a certain line count is reached on the list output.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-name.
      MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-form.
      APPEND gw_event TO gt_events.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
           EXPORTING
                it_events                = gt_events[]
    and define the form for each event as follows - this would be a dynamic call by the ALV.
    *&      Form  after_line_output
    *       Form for the After Line Output Event in the internal table
    *      --> rs_lineinfo
    FORM after_line_output USING rs_lineinfo TYPE slis_lineinfo.
      IF sy-linno eq v_linno.          "Defaulted value for line count
        perform write_footer.
        NEW-PAGE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDFORM.                    " after_line_output
    For lines per page:
    rs_lineinfo-tabindex would give you the index of the current line in the list, which you could use to read the t_outtab table, and reduce the line count of items displayed on the earlier page.
    There are a few other events too, like BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT and END_OF_LIST which you can use as required and print the data.
    Regards,
    Anil.

  • Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work after 10.6.5 update

    I have the last version of iWork 09. After the 10.6.5. update Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work.
    Keynote 09 is fine.
    Both Numbers 09 and Pages 09 open, the window for choosing a template also opens.
    I am not able to choose a template. Waited for several minutes ... no chance.
    Removed the software, re-installed from DVD, updated to the latest version ... this did not solve the problem. Contacted Apple support , went through many steps with no success.
    Were you able to use Numbers 09 and Pages 09 after recent Mac OS X update ?
    Any ideas what I could do ?
    Thank you for help!

    May you try to run the applications from an other user account ?
    If they behave flawlessly, the culprit is in your original user account.
    In such case, it's often one or several preferences files which are corrupted.
    Try to
    quit the applications,
    move the preferences files :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers. plist
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    to the desktop
    restart the apps.
    If they behave flawlessly, you know the culprits. Trash them.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

    I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

    Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
    I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
    1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
    2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
    3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
    source
    4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
    5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.
    I look forward to hearing from you! If you wish to thank me for my assistance, click the thumbs up icon below

  • How do I add page numbers on a Pages doc.?

    How do I add page numbers on a pages doc.?

    It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
    1. Add a Textbox and move it to the top right, turn off Textwrap
    2. Insert a page number in the box
    3. Select the Textbox: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
    4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.

  • Different format for page numbers on different pages

    Hi guys,
    Currently I'm about to finish my thesis. Pages has been a great help with everything, until now. The problem is that I want to add page numbers, but some pages should have a different numbering then others. To clarify here is my table of contents with the desired page numbers:
    -Figures          i
    -Tables          ii
    -Acronyms     iii    
    -Chapter 1     1
    -Chapter 2     15    
    -Chapter 3     27
    -Appendix     iv
    -Summary     v
    So the stuff that is not directly main content should be numbered in roman numbers. The chapters then can have normal numbers.
    I've been trying for a while to make this happen now, but without luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? I would be very thankful.

    Divide into Sections by inserting section breaks between and make the Roman numerals the first part and restart the numbering at Chapter 1:
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 / uncheck Use previous headers and footers
    To change the numbering format in the header or footer, right click on the page number and choose what you want.

  • Aligning lines between pages in InDesign CS5

    Hi all,
    After many  fruitless hours of Googling, I'm really, really hoping to find some help  here with a small InDesign CS5 issue I'm having. I'll try and keep this  brief.
    I'm currently designing a book in InDesign CS5  that has chapters that run one after the other. Whereas in most books a  new chapter will start on a new page, here they flow together. For each  chapter heading, I'm using a font called Orial, size 18. For the main  text, I'm using Adobe Garamond Pro, size 12. When I have two solid pages  of 12 point Adobe Garamond Pro, all is well. The alignment of lines on  both pages are level with one another. That's just what I want.
    However,  if I have a double page spread and one of the pages has an 18pt Orial  title on it (within all the 12pt Adobe Garamond Pro), this throws things  out of whack, as you can see in the image below:
    As you can see, the lines on page 79 are not level with those on page 78. Is there any way around this?
    Many, many thanks for any help you can offer. I'm rather tearing my hair out here!

    Hm, I'm afraid I'm still encountering problems here. I'll talk through what I've done so far using Josh's excellent guide:
    (I should note at the start that my text frames are all linked to one another, and I am using paragraph styles).
    Firstly, I checked 'Grids in Back' was switched off (thanks ghf232):
    Secondly, I turned on the following:
    View -> Screen Mode -> Normal
    View -> Extras -> Show Frame Edges
    View -> Grids -> Show Baseline Grid
    My document now looked like this:
    Then I highlighted all text with Ctrl+A:
    And next I hit the 'Align to baseline grid' button:
    This resulted in the following:
    Next, I went to Preferences -> Grids and changed 'Increment Every' option to 1.5:
    Alas, the lines remained uneven:
    I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious. If anybody couldhelp, I'd be hugely grateful. Thanks again all.
