Page numbers not working in pages

Help!
I'm working on a document that will be 100+ pages, printing it double sided to be bound together. I would like to have the pages numbers listed in the footer on the outside of the page as well as some text in the center of the footer. Working with Pages '09 version 4.1.
I have "facing pages" selected. "Left and Right pages different" selected. "Use previous headers and footers" selected. I selected "Insert Auto page numbers" and told it to put them on the outside.
The problem - only some pages have the numbers on the outside like I selected. Pages 1-12 have the page numbers are all left justified. Pages 13-16 are correct. Pages 17-23 have the page numbers are all left justified. So on and so forth. There is no rhyme or reason why some of these are different. I do have different sections in the document - but sometimes it's in the middle of the section that it decides to change the formatting on me.
On top of that, I added the text I wanted in the center. On some pages it's there, others it isn't. And again, no rhyme or reason as to why. Sometimes, the page numbers ARE in the correct place, but the text IS NOT there. Sometimes the page numbers ARE NOT in the correct place, and the text IS there. Leaving me with very few pages that are 100% correct.
The only thing I have going for me at the moment is that every page has a page number on it! I suppose that's something. And I believe I know how to go in and change the footers individually. But, like I said, this will be 100+ pages, I'd really like to just do it once, not individually for each page.
Help please! Thanks!

Hello black94,
Ok I can load the WinForm project and know part of your game, although I'm not so sure how to play the game. I cannot understand your language.
When I checked the WPF project it seems you build the UI with WPF and only write events here, I haven't find binding related xaml code. Anyway, can you quote the problem or code about how you insert the white cell in WPF?
For the printPreviewDialog, I see you already asked about this question before:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/ee97efd9-9245-4972-8576-a5230fb520e7/printpreviewdialog-in-wpf?forum=wpf
So the following place is where the error raised?
PrintDocument printdocument = new PrintDocument();
System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog printDialog = new System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog();
System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog printPreviewDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog();
//this.printPreviewDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;

  • Keyboard letters and numbers not working after (?) serious memory use (?)

    So I've been having problems with my keyboard on my MBP 15-inch, Early 2011 (OS version 10.7.5, fully updated). It stops working after I use Photoshop or InDesign (cs6) for a long period of time or when I'm surfing the web a lot. The best example where it for sure stops working when surfing the web is when I'm on tumblr and I scroll through dozen of pages on my feed. When it stops working, the only keys that continue to work is everything but the numerals and letters.
    I've taken it in, replaced the keyboard and talked to apple support and they can't figure it out. I assumed that it stops working because of all the loading images, info and memory that is in use when applcations are open but I don't know if it's because of memory.
    One thing that always occurs right before the keyboard stops working is this sound from the speakers that sounds like gears turning three times or three fast ticks. Only once has the letters and numbers start working and I don't now what I did to make it come back but I heard the three ticks play again.
    But my only solution to make it start again is restarting the computer.
    Does anybody have this problem/know the solution to make this stop?

    The only Upperfilters and Lowerfilters you were supposed to remove were the ones in 4D36E965 which is for the Optical Drive.
    The other keys, for example 4D36E966 and 4D36E967 etc.. are for other devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and possibly other devices like sound and graphics. This is not good, because its hard to manually restore those filters without knowing what was in there before you deleted them.
    Did you backup the registry before deleting the keys?
    You could try a System Restore to restore the registry back to a previous state. If you boot into Safe Mode (press F8 or F5 before XP boots up), you can select a previous date to restore back to.
    Then follow these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060

  • New aluminum keyboard for 24" iMac-10-key numbers not working??

    I've got a new 24" intel aluminum iMac I've only had for 2 weeks.
    Just today, the 10-key number pad stopped working & my programs froze up with no response from the might mouse plugged into the USB port on the keyboard.
    The keyboard viewer shows all of the keys being recognized & Apple Hardware Test showed no issues.
    I re-booted several times, did a permission repair & ran MacJanitor & when I rebooted again, I don't get any freeze-ups so far, but I do not have the function of the 10-key portion of my new aluminum iMac keyboard.
    Very strange, but it does seem to be software related.
    Something of interest: Only the 789-456+1230.enter keys are not working. Those above the 789 are working fine.
    And to re-iterate, the keys are all being recognized by the keyboard viewer onscreen.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    dave

    I didn't end up taking it in - I created a new user account & there were no problems with my keyboard.
    I transferred my home folder to the new account & started basically fresh.
    I guess my old user account was corrupted or messed up somehow.
    I have done this once before on my 1book g4 laptop & it also worked.
    Thanks for the suggestion, I was getting ready to pack it up for a trip to the Apple Store & remembered to try this at the last minute!
    Thanks again

  • Ipsec sequence numbers not working for multi VPN's

    one site to one site VPN works no problem, but when I add the second peer in the hub router it does not connect. There is no routing in place all routers are connected to the same switch and with no crypto map they can both ping 192.168.2.1. With crypto map only 192.168.2.2 can ping 192.168.2.1. I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong this seems simple I just add the entry to Test with a different number, but it will not work.
    Please ask any other question you can think of. I followed the same commands on both spoke routers so it seem like it would be in the hub router, but it has me beat as to why.

    Ok I cannot ping anything now. Can you see any other obvious problems? Seems like I should be close and must be missing something simple.

  • N96 v30.033 numbers not working

    hello
    im having a problem with my n96 now on v30.33 firmware. this is the second phone that has developed the same fault
    it is on vodafone and should be running version 12.xxxx but for totally ovbious reasons i have changed the product code
    on both phones the upgrade went ok, but then after a few days the keys have got messed up. number 3,0, 9, red, camera(2ndclick) have just stopped working
    this is ovbious a software fault, the 2nd n96 is only 2weeks old.
    any ideas (nokia wont accept it as they know i have changed the code as i found out the first time as it shows on there screen the code you used everytime you update via nokia software updater)
    thanks alot, this is driving me mad

    since you voided your warranty here is the only things i can suggest for you to do short of taking it in and having to pay nokia care to fix your phone
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance. 
    also you can try to reinstall your firmware again and then reformat your phone and see how this goes

  • Pages Page Numbering not working correctly in iOS 5.01

    Whenever I set up Auto Numbering for a Page footer in Pages, it gives me high negative numbers instead of real page number or counts. I'll get -23829839282 or -2893282922 of -2973287372 instead of Page 2, or Page 2 of 4.
    This works in the Desktop Pages, just not the iOS one. On my iPad, this makes using the page numbering function useless. Take note, this function was working before I upgraded from 4.3.3.

    It sounds as if you are starting with a Left Hand Facing page (inside cove page?). Hence, the head scratching for ForwardSpread. I've only had a need to do this once, this week. UnCheck allow pages to Shuffle (counter-intuitive to me) and drag page icons if it siuts your view.
    Facing pages is not necessary to accomplish your book document, but is more a visual assistance in layout and possibly items crossing the spine. If it helps, and I think not, you can turn it off in the Document Setup; be mindful of anything crossing the spine.
    The MOVE work-around - if you indeed have Auto Numbering on, possibly the documents or the indb book filehave some corruption. You can create a new Book and load the existing documents to it relatively quickly; Moving pages from one doc to another would eliminate any document corruption. (You would need to define Auto Numbering in the new document(s))
    Can you post a screen shot of Chapter2 or Chapter3 Page Numbering option?  (btw, you mentiond Chapter 2 was fine; I'm going to refer to the files as listed in your original post)
    Message was edited by: Daniel Flavin - Turning off Facing Pages will lose any unique items on the Right Hand Master Page

  • IPhoto, Pages & Numbers not working - all up to date

    Hi. I need some help. I have a Macbook Pro 5.4 (2009) with OS X 10.9.2 and all the software is up to date as well. Two days ago, after importing pictures from a camera and near the end of editing them in iPhoto (9.5.1), the computer/program went into an extended thinking/processing mode. When it finally finished, I couldn't toggle (in edit mode) to the last two pictures but everything else seemed fine. After a minute, the program froze, but my cursor was still movable. I tried all of the various key combinations to force a quit and none of them worked. I also had Numbers open and reduced - I couldn't open or shut that down either. I had to resort to the old forced power down.
    Upon restart, I selected 'open programs that were open upon shut-down'. iPhoto just spun and I was locked out again. I did another reboot and chose not to open the programs. Then when I tried opening iPhoto, it labored for quite a while and then shut itself down with an error report.
    Numbers would open, but if I tried clicking on the open spreadsheet or selected 'new', Numbers went into an eternal thinking mode and I couldn't force a quit. Same with Pages.
    I ran the disk utility and it found something wrong with the HD - so I ran the repair. But iPhoto still shuts itself down and both Pages and Numbers stall out and I can't force them to quit.
    Safari, Firefox, Calendar and Mail all work. I haven't tried anything else. I did try to access my photos by logging into Facebook and trying to upload a photo from iPhoto - it just froze Safari, but I was able to force quit Safari.
    What do I do now? Do I uninstall and reinstall the programs?
    Thanks!!!!!

    Numbers & Pages - I drug them to the trash can, one at a time. I restarted my MacBook, went to the App Store and reinstalled them - they work great!
    iPhoto - I tried doing a 2nd backup of my Iphoto Library to an external drive and I got this error message: 'The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" can't be read or written, (Error Code - 36)'  -  so then I just took the plunge and drug iPhoto into the trash, went to the App Store and selected 'install' to reinstall the program. It took about 10 minutes or so, and I was told iPhoto was installed. Funny thing is that I can't find iPhoto anywhere on my MacBook. I tried restarting it and the program still does not show up, even though the App Store says it is installed. Now what do I do????

  • Automatic page numbering not working in book files

    Hi. Using CS3, I have successfully created a book in the past, where the dialog box of the book file shows consecutive page numbers for each file.
    e.g file 1 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
    file 2 5-22 (indicating 18 pages, starting on page 5) etc.
    Files automatically renumber if I insert pages, etc.
    This next book I am creating has two problems:
    1. the book file dialog box shows
    file a 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
    file b 1-6 (indicates 6 pages - STARTS ON PAGE 5 AS IS IS SUPPOSED TO, in some cases - see problem 2).
    I've followed the protocol below:
    For the first document, I select "start page numbering at" and enter "1". For the rest of the files, I select the automatic page numbering radio button.
    Why won't the dialog box reflect, for file b, pages being 5-11 as it is supposed to? This will get very confusing as the document gets larger.
    2. I created a document by resaving an initial file as a new file in order to create additional documents, keeping the same master but changing content. Even with the automatic page numbering radio button selected, some of these files start on the wrong page (e.g. 5 when the file is supposed to start on 12), after I select Update Page and Section numbers from the book dialog drop-down. I can't figure out what may forcing an override of this page numbering and am looking for a pointer in the right direction...thank you,
    Erin

    I am having the same exact problem as Erin. The page numbers don't even get updated correctly on the documents within the book.
    I'm using InDesign CS3 5.0.3 on Win XP.
    For the first document in the book, "Start Page Numbering at:" is set to "1." "Chapter Number:" is set to 1.
    For the second and third+ documents in the book, "Automatic Page Numbering" is selected, as is "Continue from Previous Document in the Book."
    In the Book panel, all documents show page "1-x". When I open the second and third+ documents, the page numbers all start at page 2.
    Any ideas? Please tell me this is a documented bug because it's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

  • Call Forward to PSTN numbers not working

    We have a CUCM version 8.6.  The call farward to internal extensions are working fine. But, to the PSTN numbers it is now working. We are able to call the PSTN numbers without any issue. Can somebody help us on this?

    Hi Siva,
    The most likely cause for this type of issue is the CSS that is applied @  the Call Forward All level on
    the DN config page. Check out the CFWDALL CSS to make sure they are set with a level with
    access to PSTN numbers

  • MacBook stuck with shift key enabled and numbers not working - even the keyboard app in languages wont type lowercase nor numbers?!  Anyone know whats up?  no spillage...cant understand why the keyboard app wont do anything.

    Anyone have a clue?  I can understand the keyboard being broke / shift key being stuck but why in the world would I not be able to type the numbers on the language keyboard app on the operating system?  Numbers show up on the app but when I press them I still get the special characters like #^&#* and it wont type lower case. Nothing has ever been spilt, just stopped working one day.  Rebooted from Time Capsule restore dated a month ago and its still doing it. (problem started two weeks ago).  Only way to get lower case or numbers to actually show up is the copy and paste.
    Any help would be amazing!
    Details on computer:  13 inch MacBook6, 1  (Late 2009) / Intel Core 2 DUO /  2.26GHZ / 2GB /  Memory running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    If you can afford it, I would recommend replacing the topcase and keyboard as Apple suggests. If like me, you can't afford it or are open to a hack fix, then read on.
    The problem
    Yesterday, a little water spilt on my 13" MBP keyboard. I turned it around immediately, drained out the water and used tissue to suck it all up but the keyboard was still acting funny. I turned it off and left it out in the sun for a couple of hours and turned it on again but problems remained. Like Rickdubya, my warranty had run out just a month ago and I knew Apple would not cover this under warranty. I tried to clean the shift keys and left it overnight with some rice on them with hopes that the moisture might get sucked out. Nothing worked. (The rice bit is an urban legend that seems to work with some electronics). Went to the Apple Store this morning and was told that they wouldn't even take out the key and clean it, and that the entire top case would have to be replaced. A total bill of 156 Euros which I cannot afford. I had a USB keyboard that would let me use the Mac for the moment so I decided to try to work out a fix.
    Symptoms
    - Boots in safe mode everytime (which I later found out was because the shift key is pressed)
    - Cannot login because password is in lower case or has numbers
    - Cannot boot in super user mode and try to disable keys or override password as some commands won't work in uppercase (I wouldn't recommend this anyway because its super user mode)
    - All text is in caps and numbers are symbols as though shift key is always pressed
    - Audio doesn't work
    - Keyboard viewer would not always show the shift key pressed. The key seemed to get pressed at random
    Fix
    1. Hold the Option button down on boot to bypass the Safe Mode ensure a normal boot
    2. At the login screen, plug in a USB keyboard and enter your password to login
    3. Change your password to one that uses all caps and no numbers
    4. Download and install KeyRemap4MacBook .
    5. Use a combination of the functionalities of the Keyboard Viewer and KeyRemap4MacBook to figure out which shift key is the problem. In my case, I found out that it was only my left shift key.
    6. Disable the left/right shift key on KeyRemap4MacBook and click on the 'Reload XML' button to make that take effect.
    If only one shift key was the problem, then you are done. If both shift keys were shorted, then its likely other keys are too. In which case you should probably just replace the entire thing. If you think other keys are not affected, then you can use KeyRemap4MacBook itself to remap the shift functionality to a lesser used key like the Left Option key.
    7. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items , add KeyRemap4MacBook as an application that should start on login. This will ensure that your disable/remap of the shift key is active everytime you login.
    Usage change/Things to remember
    1. Remember to hold down the Option key everytime the computer boots or reboots to bypass safe mode. The fix above is at the software level. The key is physically still shorted at the hardware level and will affect boot.
    2. Remember that at the login screen, the disable/remap is not active. So your password now has to be all caps and only letters.
    As soon as I can save some money, I will get my topcase and keyboard replaced but until then this solution works great with minimal change. Hope this helps!

  • U150 keyboard malfunction after changing screen, = repeating, few numbers not working

    Hi!
    I changed my cracked U150 screen on my own (warranty is passed).  I thought it worked fine on test boot before attaching the bezel.  I aborted the test boot (as the instruction video said to do), and put on the bezel with some difficulty (it's a tight fit on the bottom of the screen around the hinges).
    The next boot up failed, which I've never seen before. Got a bit worried, as it wanted me to try recovering to a set point (several weeks prior).  Opted to just turn off and back on, and it seemed to work...EXCEPT now a few keys on the keyboard malfunction.  Esc, `, 5, 6, 0, ) and Delete all type their character and then immediately type an = which repeats.  The actual = button does nothing: types nothing.  In caps, the keys do the same thing, but of course type a + which repeats.  F5 also does it, and I'm not sure about other F keys because I don't want to do some function that will shut down my typing right now! 
    U15============ 0========= )+===========  When I press any other key, the repeating equals stops, of course...
    When I boot up, the computer beeps repeatedly as if a key is repeating in error, so something in startup must use one of those keys and causes the same issue: since I don't actually press any key on bootup, does that indicate it's more of a software problem than a hardware problem?
    I've taken off the screen bezel again (a real pain and not a good repeated activity because I typically break one tiny plastic clip each time no matter how careful I am) and no change. I see no keyboard cable anywhere near the screen or cover or hinges-just WLAN cables and the camera. I did not spill anything on the keyboard and it worked totally fine until I replaced the screen. Online info about Lenovo S or Y series seems to show the keyboard cable down low, so again, not near the screen.  The screen website (laptopscreen.com) folks had nothing to say that helped. My search online shows nobody with a similar experience. 
    There is no Lenovo keyboard driver on the Lenovo site, so I don't see that uninstalling and reinstalling the driver would make a difference: besides, how do I reinstall a keyboard driver if I can't use the keyboard once I've uninstalled it?  Is the mousepad enough to reinstall?
    So, I would be ever ever so grateful for any help/ideas. What's my next step: taking out the keyboard to see if the cable loosened, even though I went nowhere near the cable??
    Thanks!!

    So it's been a while, but these things can drag out in life...now my brain is starting to adapt to the change, and that's annoying, so I'm back at trying to fix this.
    I tried safe mode, and the problem persists.  I tried returning all my startup options to default, and it persists.  I previously had returned to a Restore Point before the problem, and that didn't fix it. 
    Today I was going to look at the keyboard cable, but getting the top off is proving to be difficult and since I can use the machine as is, even if annoying, I don't want to go there yet.  Besides, there is no reason for this to be a hardware issue:
    I aborted a bootup by pressing and holding the power button.
    Next bootup failed, and the machine asked me to restore to a previous Restore Point.
    I turned off the machine again instead of restoring, and ever since then I've had the keyboard problem. 
    I tried uninstalling the keyboard and restarting computer so the driver reinstalls, and that didn't fix it.
    I plugged in an external keyboard and that worked fine.
    I am now wondering about using Linux to get at the problem.
    Any ideas?  I totally appreciate how active you are on this forum, and all the folks you've given advice to.  You are making computers work for people: thanks!!

  • Drag and drop from Contacts into Numbers not working - any solutions?

    I'm trying to get my Contacts into a Numbers spreadsheet. According to the Help files, I should be able to select the Contacts and simply drag them into a Numbers sheet (after deleting the default Table).  I've tried this many times over and the drag and drop feature doesn't seem to be working.  I can select the contacts and drag them over, but the little contact card remains red when I drag it into Numbers and never turns green to allow me to drop into Numbers. It's the same whether I'm trying to drag one contact or many contacts at the same time. I've also tried exporting a vcard and then dragging that file from my desktop into Numbers, but that doesn't work either.  I've tried quitting and reopening both applications, as well as restarting my computer.  I'm running OSX 10.8.3 and have installed all new software updates, so I'm just at a loss for what to try next. 
    Does anyone have any solutions for this problem, or an alternative way to get my Contacts into a Numbers file?
    Many thanks in advance!

    When I tried, it put up a dialog asking me if I wanted to allow Numbers access to my Contacts. Is it possible you tried this and dis-allowed it access?
    You might check, anyway. Open Security & Privacy System Prefs, select Privacy tab, and select Contacts from the list of items. Is Numbers listed and is it checked?
    Another way to get the contact information into the clipboard is to create an Automator workflow like this:
    Open Automator and select Workflow from the options presented.
    Drag in the above actions and set the properties as you like. For the Get Contact Information action, you must set the export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
    For the new Text File action, I had to set the Encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) or it would fail.
    Select all the contacts you want and then click the Run button in Automator. You can then open the text file with Numbers.
    If you envision doing this often, start with an application instead of a Workflow and save it somewhere. Then, you can select your contacts and double-click the Application to export the contacts each time.
    The benefit of this method is that you can select all the fields you want to include (at least more than is provided in Drag and Drop).

  • IMac Aluminum keyboard numbers not working.. Works in windows vista though

    Hey Everyone,
    I have an iMac running the last version of Leopard (10.5.6) and for some reason the 0-9 keys on the keyboard don't show up as numbers. I'm talking about the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard, the ones in front of the qwerty keys work fine.. Whenever I press a number in Leopard on the number pad it does weird things like highlights the box, brings up sub menus and other stuff like that.
    I have Bootcamp on this computer and when I boot into Vista the number keys work fine so I know it's nothing wrong with the keyboard. It some preference. Could anyone help me please?
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    Thanks again! I went through the system preferences and sticky keys was already off. I own an iMac Aluminum and it looks like that article only was for MacBook and MacBook Pro computers. I also tired resetting the PRAM. If I only backed up I could just restore from that. My current NAS Drive (Western Digital MyBook World) just died so I purchased a time capsule as a replacement so I should be able to back up now and avoid problems like this..
    It's just some setting in Leopard somewhere but I just can't figure out where...
