Page Layout starting too low?

I have opened a template and it has what looks like a header and I can change the vertical height in the inspector on the first tab "headers". that is easy. Then there is a big gap. Then the page content starts and I can move this down the page in the inspector using the Layout Inspector, but it is set to "Before 0" and I cannot move it any higher up the page. It makes no sense to me at all.
When I fold letters for envelopes the address is to low to see through the windows.
Any suggestions, I though Apple products were supposed to be intuitive?

The 2 modes are announced in the templates.
The gap maybe because you have typed several returns in the header or have something large in the header that has caused it to grow.
To see clearly what is happening:
+Menu > View > Show Layout / Invisibles+
To make the address box float, select it and go:
+Inspector > Wrap > Floating (doesn't move with text)+ or +click on it > Cut > Paste+
You have to be careful with Pages that the paste doesn't go back into the text. It pays to click away out into the margin where there is nothing. I find this very annoying. Pages desperately needs a direct selection tool but Apple won't give us one, just as they wouldn't give us a multi-button mouse for decades.
You choose the mode when you pick either a WP or Layout mode template.
The 2 work slightly differently, so you need to "choose wisely" (pick the humble looking cup or you will desiccate and crumble to dust).
*Word Processing mode* forces most text into the page margins, flows from page to page and has sections. Good for letters and reports
Layout is much more free form, you have to create each page separately with mostly floating text and image boxes. Text boxes need to be linked if the text flows from one page to another. This is better for designed material like brochures and newsletters etc.

  • 7 page layout document - too long?

    I am working in Pages '08 in layout format. I have one long textbox, three small textboxes, one pie chart, and some tiny pdf pictures on each page. I am jumping back and forth between this and a Word document copying information in to create a manual. After about an hour of work, the screen just switches to a beautiful series of color - my document in mush form. Thankfully I am saving about every five minutes so I simply restart Pages and open the document back up. This is the third time it's happened.
    Is this too big of a file? I saw that someone else had a 200 page document with pictures with no complaint like this so it doesn't seem that it should be overloaded with just seven pages.
    Thanks so much for your help. I'm really missing Adobe Pagemaker right now.

    Hi Isk8ter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of Pages are you working with?  I'm assuming '09 since you reference OS X 10.7.4 above.
    I've included the link to the Pages User Manual for you below.
    Page 253 starts the chapter on Printing, Shareing and Exporting your document.
    Pages '09 User Manual
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA663/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf
    Setting the Paper Size and Orientation
    Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog.
    To set paper size and orientation:
    1 Choose File > Page Setup.
    2 In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” popup
    menu.
    3 Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
    Also, see page 266 of the Pages User Manual for more specific instructions for creating a custom template for envelopes.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Can't start MAIL or STORE because of "too low screen resolution"

    I can't start either mail app or store app because of "too low screen resolution".
    My netbook (eMachines eM350) has maximum 1024x600, these app require at least 1024x768

    I have developed a lot of code, and while more recent machines have higher resolutions, I find it prudent not to assume everyone has an 8K panel
    No one cares much what you have or have not done, this thread is not about you. If you'd actually developed any Modern apps you'd know that the minimum resolution for them is, as has been stated numerous times here already. Stating that you develop for 640x480
    displays clearly indicates that you've never developed a Modern app. Additionally, it should be obvious even to you that a minimum resolution of 1024x768 does not assume that everyone has "an 8K panel".
    go write some shaders you clearly have no idea whatsoever about development
    i can make programs rescale to fit any screen size, just because you are too stunned to figure that out

  • Need Help Starting CSS Page Layout

    Hi, I need a little help getting started in creating a CSS
    layout page in Dreamweaver CS4. I am following a tutorial online
    but I have run into a problem. What I am trying to do is get a
    simple CSS layout started. Below I have listed my steps.
    1) First I created a new .html page and named it "index.html"
    2) Next, in the "Properties" panel I clicked the "CSS" button
    3) I then selected the "Edit Rule" button and a window opened
    called "New CSS Rule"
    4) I then left all default settings and in the window where
    it asked me for a name for my selector I typed in:
    main_layout.css
    Then I got this message below.
    "Class names must start with an alphabetical character
    preceded by an optional period. There should be no
    spaces or additional punctuation."
    What am I doing wrong? Can someone please tell me the correct
    steps to start a CSS layout in DW CS4?
    Thanks

    Undescore are Ok in CSS, your problem is the starting. When
    you define a
    class in CSS you have to start the calss name with a period.
    Plus they
    cannot be a period after so...
    If you want to define a class.
    main_layout.css is not OK
    .main_layout is OK
    main_layout is not OK
    Putting a ".css" a the end is for a file name not a selector
    So with my example .main_layout you would then applie this
    class to a tag
    like this
    <p class=" main_layout">Put text here</p>
    Now if you want to define a ID selector then you start tou
    selector eith "#"
    no quotation mark
    so
    #container {
    position:relative;
    background-color: #fff;
    width: 800px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    top: 20px;
    border-top: 0;
    border-right: 1px solid #b7b7b7;
    border-bottom: 0;
    border-left: 1px solid #b7b7b7;
    And then you apply this as an id
    <div id="container">Put content here</div>
    Do you get it. If not then go get a good book on CSS.

  • I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from iphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from inphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    Other than a couple of minor adjustments, such as the one that Diavonex suggested above, there is nothing that a user can do in settings to adjust color. There is no way to calibrate the color like you can do with a computer monitor.

  • Image sits too low on screen in Photoshop CC when I want to start working.

    When I have the image set to 'fit screen' it sits too low in the working space. Something has changed and I can't get it back. I have tried to restore settings but no effect. Any suggestions welcome? 

    My screen looks like this. Note how the image that has been opened sits rather low in the working space. In fact, a little bit of the bottom of the image has been clipped off despite going to the magnifying class and clicking 'Fit Screen'
    It is intensely irritating and never used to be like this. I am using the latest CC update and have Mavericks.  It appears like this when I double click the image in Bridge to open in Adobe CC. I can find no way to drag the image up a bit or reset anything.

  • How do I know if my image resolution is too low now that the yellow triangle warning is gone?

    I am creating a book in iPhoto 11 for the first time. In older versions, I would get a yellow triangle indicating my image quality was too low for that size image. Based on other threads, it looks like iPhoto no longer gives the warning. What is the best way to know if the image will print okay? Is there a workaround so I can check the quality of the image prior to printing out the book?

    I noticed that there's not resolution waring also.  Create a PDF file of the book and look at the pages at full sized with Preview and determine if the photos are sharp enough for you.
    I ran a test with two images, one 4000 x 3000 pixels and the other 230 x 200 pixels in a 2 photo per page book page and then created a pdf of the book, Modern Lines theme.  This is a screenshot of  the page in Preview at View ➙ View Full Sized:
    This screenshot is of the same photo in a different 2 photo per page layout in the same theme.  It does look more like I expected:
    Right click on the image and select Show in New Window from the Contextual menu.  I'm really surprised the first example of the small image looked as good as it did. I expected a very pixelated image like the second example but iPhoto upsized it rather nicely. So iPhoto can upsize a small photo to some degree but I don't recommend relying on it for such small images.   And it is a very, very, very small image.  Soif your image is reasonably large you should be OK.  But check it in the PDF file.

  • Photo print at too low of a quality

    Hi
    I am trying to make a book, and have all my pictures set, but since they are from the computer and not my personal pictures, they each have that yellow warning that says photo may print at too low of a quality. I am wondering if Mac can change it, since I don't want to spend the money to have the book printed with blurry pictures. They are all zoomed out the most they can be, and I tried everything else.. PLEASE HELLLLP! email me at [email protected]
    Thanks

    sgatling:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you're using? Which theme are you using and which frames do you get the warning sign, i.e. full page layout, 2 photos per page, etc.
    iPhoto will give that warning when the dpi of a picture in a particular frame is below 180 dpi. So for a full page photo you'd need pixel dimensions of about 1600 x 2070 or greater to avoid the warning flag.
    Unless the photo is way below that minimum size I don't think it will be significant enough to be objectionable. But that's just based on my experience. No matter what size you use the photo will not be as sharp as you can get by printing them yourself on glossy photo paper at equivalent sizes.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Trying to make a calendar and every picture is coming up too low of quality

    I am trying to make a calendar for my mom's Christmas present, but every picture I put in the calendar to be the month's picture has a caution box in the corner and says "This photo may print at too low of quality". I just don't know if this is normal with using your own pictures but I don't want to spend the money on this calendar and then it not turn out very good. Please let me know what you have done or if there is anything to do.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the pics you're trying to use?
    I ran a test on a calendar using the picture theme and for a full page photo to avoid the warning triangle it must be approximately 1535 px x 1181 px or roughly 120 dpi.
    You'll have to decide how far below that level those pictures are and decide if it's worth the gamble. Or use layouts which have more photos per page and thus require smaller sizes.

  • Is it possible to change a document from Page Layout to Word Processing?

    I just downloaded and launched the Pages 4.0.4 update, which adds the option of exporting to ePub. Unfortunately Pages won't export a Page Layout document to ePub.
    Is there any way to change the type of document or would it be easier to just create a new document and paste everything from one to the other. This is a newsletter document that gets published monthly with new content so changing from one format to the other oughtn't bring too many problems.
    Thanks!

    I know that floating objects isn't supported in WP and I think there are a couple of other things but I can't recall off the top of my head.
    I remember that I started using it in the WP mode when I first put together this monthly newsletter and ran into some problems, and switching to Layout took care of those problems.
    I've nothing against the WP mode, in fact Iuse it all the time for more traditional WP jobs. It's just that I found the Layout mode to be more suited to, well, laying out. I come from the really old school of physically cutting and pasting typewritten stuff and Zip-a-tone line art graphics onto a large sheet of paper lined with a "non-photo" blue grid. The person who actually printed it took a picture of these pages and used the resulting page as a lithograph master, using real (ugh!) viscous ink rather than toner. So having the option of moving objects around and flowing text around graphics is appealing. Let me know in a PM if you want a Pages file of one of these issues.

  • Why does a page layout show that it is blotchy?

             The page layout on the screen to finalize the printing for the Yosemite 10.10.2 on my 16GB Mac Mini (late 2012) model shows a blotchy layout and when the document is printed it is also blotchy. The settings have not changed, I tried cleaning the printer heads and it still prints blotchy documents; But it doesn't affect documents printed from online; I'm pretty sure that It started shortly after I did a pages software update to the new pages.
