Pages '08 eliminates styles?

I've been reading reviews on pages '08 and there is talk of the new formatting bar, but no one has mentioned if the Styles feature has been removed. I use styles for my documents and was wondering if Pages 08 eliminated them in favor of the formatting bar.
Thanks.

The formatting bar saves me "trips" to the menus to make changes in a paragraph. Then I can create a new style or redefine the existing one. In AppleWorks I used "copy ruler" which would copy margins & spacing mostly, but not fonts or font sizes, which I could then "paste ruler" to other paragraphs. Styles save the need to have to constantly make changes elsewhere.

I am forced to hold shift and refresh the page on 99% of the sites I visit. How do I fix this from happening? If I don't the pages are missing style sheets and etc.

When ever I go to sites they half load or are missing style sheets. If I view the source for the page and click on a style sheet link I get the following error:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
If I hold shift and refresh the page loads as normal.
It's happening on 99% of the sites I visit. I have disabled my plugins and add-ons.
I do have some add-ons or plugins that I would like to remove completely but there is no uninstall or remove option, neither in regular or safe mode.

Pages 5.1 - Styles bug

Hi everyone,
I was very glad that Apple updated Pages.
But I noticed a strange bug in 5.1 version.
On one of my documents (a big one updated from a previous version of Pages) containing a bunch of styles, does not "wok as it should). Now, whent I scroll the (how do you say in english ?) style menu in the format section (see image) styles becomes blank.
It seems this bug occurs with my Macbook pro retina only (not such problem with my iMac).
Can somebody help ?
When I come back to the menu, styles have reappeared but always the same scroll bug !
Both images befor and after scrolling the menu :
f
Best regards.
And forgive my clumsy english : I am french !

Just to let you know, I have had the same problem since I started using Pages 5.0 on my MacMini.
I reported that bug to Apple through their developer Bug Reporter some time back...
This was my report:
09-Dec-2013 10:33 PM
Summary: When the number of paragraph styles becomes very high, the scrolling paragraph styles pane stops displaying text and becomes unusable.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Pages 5.0 or 5.0.1
2. Go to Format Inspector, Paragraph styles, and access the pop out paragraph styles selection pane.
3. Click on the "+" to add a new style. Repeat this step until the text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears (approximately 23 to 47 times depending on the size of the styles added).
Actual Results: The text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears, rendering it unusable.
Version: Pages 5.0 and 5.0.1; OS X 10.9 (13A598)
Notes: It seems that triggering the error depends on the graphical height of the pop out paragraph styles selection pane, not the actual number of existing styles.
This was their response:

Engineering has determined that your bug report is a duplicate of another issue and will be closed.
I guess they have known about the problem for a while then. They must be busy with damage control over all the issues with Pages 5 that are causing greater negative feedback.
The only way I found to work around the bug was eliminating styles from the drawer until the bug goes away. Not a nice fix, but it is one way to be able to continue working with the doc.

Pages Copy & Paste Style Buttons don't change font size and style?

Shouldn't the font size and style also be copied and pasted when I use the buttons to copy & paste the style within a page?

Hello
It seems that the description of these buttons in the Help is not clear.
After several attempts, one may understand that they don't apply to attributes inserted "by hand" with cmd + B for instance but to "styles" defined in the Styles drawer.

Looking for a way to load 100 pages without images/style

Hi,
I have a bookmark folder that contains nearly 100 pages
I can right-click on the folder and choose "Open all in tabs", which is what I want, but I'd like to get rid of all the pictures/style otherwise it lags and eats too much bandwitdh.
I don't really need those, I just want to have the pages loaded once.
Any suggestions on how to do so ?

Addining additional page types or styles to the pages icon drop down list

in the tool bar - pages - i have one page of latintype of text as the only choice. How do I add other types of page layout or templates to this drop down list that only has the one page of weird text on it?
I am stuck. thanks.

Hello pbmb,
Pages is a document-centric editor. That means all you editings and saves will stored in the document. This is why Pages provides templates. It is like heaving a library of documents, sections and objects. So if you need something often, create a template of it and you will have it with two clicks at hand. Yes, it would be nice to have real customer created libraries of paragraph styles and objects or masks, directly at hand by one click like the Pages objects, etc. Maybe this will come in next versions when Pages will grow up more and more.
I can't imagine why the section templates (Pages names it pages, too) doesn't work for you the way I described in this thread. You wrote above you have saved it as a document. Have you opened exact this document and the saved creations were not there? I only want to solve this problem, so please write to us if a saved document template (menu: "File/Save as Template...") with such created section templates are not working fine.
I know it can be frustrated not to achieve the goals easily or not in the way we know right. Pages goes an other way and - despite little adversities - I find the workflow and handling very good. I am missing some features to name Pages a pro app, but I have done some pro designs with it. If you are interested in using Pages further more, I will write an in-depth tutorial about the topic "Section Templates".

Link master page to paragraph style?

I'd like to have the first page of each chapter have a different master page (particularly no header with page numbers, etc.). I know how to apply a different page style, but I want the style to stay with the first page of each chapter -- even if more text is added and the document gets longer.
Any way to do this?

Peter, I'm not sure what functionality we used in the past -- it's been years now since we stopped using Frame when it was discontinued -- but I didn't have these problems before. Perhaps that's just because the book feature of Frame (chapters in their own files, very easily compiled into a book) was so easy and did just what we needed it to do. Could not get IDs book feature to work well when I tried it. Haven't been back.
I'll also try out the idea you have. Thanks for the input.
There's a faction of ex-FrameMaker-on-Mac users who are gathering signers for their petition to revive FrameMaker on Mac. Search Google for terms like "framemaker mac petition" without quotes.
FrameMaker 7.1, I believe, is the last Mac version. It ran on System 9, or a few earlier releases, and on Classic, the System 9 emulator on Tiger. Yours is the most valid reason I've seen for leaving FrameMaker - it's not on the OS you're committed to. I use Parallels on my Mac to run FrameMaker and other applications in Adobe's Technical Communications Suite which is Windows-only.
Aa Peter S. said, InDesign's book feature is a workable tool. Some folks report problems with cross-file cross-references in InDesign books. I'm not familiar whether they are more common on Windows ID or Mac, and not sure which update-level of CS4 or CS5 they affect. If you're having problems with x-refs, search Google for "InDesign cross-references across files," and similar terms without quotes, and if your issues aren't addressed in the links you find, post them here. One cross-file problem with x-refs in books that I can recall occurs in PDFs exported from InDesign; if the PDF export dialog box uses the Interactive output option, instead of the Print output option, the links in the single PDF that's created fail because the output processing goofs up the links it creates in the PDF. I've reported it as a bug. There were instances in later FrameMaker releases that had a similar problem with the Save As PDF process; fixed later, though.
One ID x-ref issue I've seen on the forum is that lots of them slow down InDesign. I believe the commercial InDesign cross-references plug-in from dtptools.com doesn't have the problem; it's also got smarter x-ref format options than either FrameMaker or InDesign.
I believe that InDesign's indexing isn't easy for FrameMaker users to grasp. It took me a while, partly because I don't do it much, and partly because it's a different mindset. Some earlier releases had bugs that soured folks on the index, but they're fixed. Search Google for terms like "InDesign index scripts" or "InDesign online free index tutorials" and similar terms without quotes for more info.
The span/split columns feature in InDesign CS5 that Peter S. mentions is like FrameMaker's straddle (across columns) paragraphs, with a bit of Word's multi-column paragraph attribute thrown in. It's still got a few annoying behaviors, but not disruptive bugs. However, InDesign totally lacks FrameMaker's true side-headings and true run-in paragraphs (a paragraph that can be followed by a paragraph that begins on the same line; IOW, a paragraph with a hard Return but no new line feed.) There are some workarounds.

IPhone Pages lost character styles in reimport

OK, this is really bad. I was editing a Pages document on the iPhone. A 200,000 word novel. Upon reimport, i have lost all my character styles. (paragraphs styles are still there). The text is still formatted, but has no associated style
This is a complete distaster. And an outrageous bug. How am i going to fix this. Manually go through and restyle ever instance? Is Apple going to fix this?

Don't you have a backup copy somewhere with the styles intact?
As for what Apple might fix, nobody can here can tell you, all you can do is ask:

Pages for iPad - Style bar hidden - how do I show it?

Hi. I bought Pages for the iPad 2 yesterday; somehow I've hidden the style bar that sits underneath the 'My Documents', 'Undo', etc. bar.
How do I re-show it? Thank you.

Hi!
It is better to you post in the forum for "iWork for iPads". Most of us here in the Mac Pages forum do not have an iPad

Checkout Page Cancelling Font Styles

Business Catalyst Own template using adobe fonts.
All is fine until I load the checkout page and then the adobe fonts disapear site wide until I reload the site in the browser.
Site in Dev mode http://alchemiststea.businesscatalyst.com/index.htm
I have realised that this is happening as the checkout page takes the browser in to a secre zone, the sddress indicates https:// once your remove the s and go http:// the fonts are reloaded again. so I gues while in https:// secure zone the browser is blocking my styles as insecure content.
If anyone could help me resolve this I would be very grateful.
Many Thanks
Cas

Your webfonts need to be coming from a secure server for them to work on secure pages. As long as the location supports secure connections you can change your links to use // instead of http://. This means that the request uses the protocol specified in the browser and not dependent on the type of protocol you specified in the link. eg:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.website.com">
changes to
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//fonts.website.com">

Pages Default Hyperlink Style

I want to change the default hyperlink style but don't see any means to. The default is the blue underlined text which is a bit MS Word. I can create a new style and convert it but this is an extra step I'd like not to have to take!
Any ideas for changing the hyperlink default style?
Thanks.

Yes, but we are talking about cutting and pasting text which contains URLs into a Pages document. Pages has its own style for hyperlinks - blue text that is underlined. This is what I wanted to alter.
Anyway I found a solution for anyone else who is looking to do this.
Make a new character style of how you want the hyperlinks to look, e.g. no underlining, but bold text. When you insert the text and Pages auto-detects the hyperlinks and applies its own style, but click the downward arrow next to "None" in the character style window, and choose "Select All Uses of None" and it will highlight all the hyperlinks. You can now click your character style and it will be applied to all the hyperlinks.
I don't know if this is a bug as such (as the style is not "None" - it is Apple's default style for hyperlinks) but at least it does the job.

Is there a way to create a button for the tool bar that will View a page in "No Style'?

Newb in trouble :( - How do I set a home page/ link it to my other pages? CSS style.

I'm scouring these forums looking for someone who can reply to me in real time. Basically, I need to create a basic website for a project, where I have a main page, linking to my other pages that are divided by content. For example, main page would have a brief explanation of what the site is about, and then if you clicked on some text in my explanations, etc, it would link you to a different page on my site. Here are some things I am stuck on:
How do i make one page the first one you'd see if you opened the website?
How do i hyperlink to pages within my local root?
How do I hyperlink to internet based online pages?
How do i burn the whole website onto a cd, so that if I were to give the cd to someone else, all the local links AND the internet links would work?
These questions are all I need to figure out right now. If anyone could help I'd be grateful. I'll be refreshing this for a few hours

How do i make one page the first one you'd see if you opened the website?
Save it with a filename that appears in your host's default filename list. Ask your host what filenames appear in that list - usually "index.html" is there. You could try that filename first....
How do i hyperlink to pages within my local root?
Select the text for the link trigger, and use the Link field of the Property inspector to browse to and select the target filename in your local site.
How do I hyperlink to internet based online pages?
Pages that are not present in your local root folder? You'd have to enter those links manually by selecting the text for the link trigger, and entering "http://www.example.com/path_to_file.html" in the Link field of the Property inspector. It's important that you enter the *fully qualified* address of the page, i.e., the protocol (http://) the domain name (www.example.com) and the path to the file (/path_to_file.html).
How do i burn the whole website onto a cd, so that if I were to give the cd to someone else, all the local links AND the internet links would work?
Copy all the files within the local root folder to the CD. If you have made the links properly, they will all work (provided the user is connected to the internet when using the CD, and provided they initially open (manually) the "index.html" file to start.

It worked with this syntax in addition to existing code.
a href="#startcontent" style="display:none" Skip Navigation /a
But not sure why it worked for other theme.
Thank you for the help.
