Pages '09 / 4.1 Set Default Margins?

I want to change the default margins in Pages.app to something other than 1".
Can I do this? If so, how.
I know how to change the margins on any individual document but I want to change the DEFAULT margin size from 1" to .5".
Any ideas?
I want to set this for my company so that employees are not wasting paper and needlessly printing extra pages. You may have read about an effort and study to reduce paper usage through reduced default margins.

Thanks.

It seems that you made something wrongly or that something is corrupted in your system.
Here, the Save As Template feature behaves flawlessly.

  • Insert Symbol, finding Pages Help Menu and Set Default Print Size

    I'm having a hard time doing the following:
    1. Inserting a vertical line that I used to find in Word by going to Insert > Symbol
    2. Preventing Pages from defaulting to #10 Letter (which I used recently) but seems to be the default size (but not the default Pulldown page type for some weird reason). I guess I'm just not sure how this is all working.
    3. Where do I go for the Program's Help Menu in Mac? I seem to go to the Help Pulldown at the end but when I type in a word I seem to get answers for Mac as a whole and not just for Pages, which is what I want.
    TIA.

    It would be a good idea to enter the System's Preferences Pane entitled "Language and Text"
    Then trigger the newly installed menu item in the menu bar.

  • Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

    We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
    I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
    The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
    I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
    Thank you

    I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
    Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: Expected statement
    Code: 800A0400
    Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
    I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong.  I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

  • How to set HP5610 default margins

    We print a lot of documents/forms from the state and the last quarter inch or so gets cut off the bottom of the documents, and the state won't take them unless the offical form number is displayed (and it's naturally on the very bottom of the page).  
    How do I set the default margin for the HP5610?  This happens across all 3 of our browsers (IE, FireFox, Chrome), although the forms are in pdf form.

    Hello @chevy454 , thanks for getting back to me!
    I'd recommend trying a few things.
    First, you'll want to uninstall the current software:
    Uninstalling the Printer Software
    Then, put your printer into clean boot mode:
     How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, reinstall the software via the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please keep me posted!

  • How do you set defaults in pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

    How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

    Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template).  I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

  • How can I set mirror margins (or "facing pages") in 5.0?

    I recently updated by Mac System to Maverick just so I could update to the new version of Pages. In so doing, I gave up my old MS word program (because it was outdated for this system). But Pages did most of those things I needed.
    HOWEVER
    Now, I am trying to format a .pdf file to publish a book and I CANNOT see how to set "mirror margins" or "facing pages" in order to properly format my book. What happened to this feature (and what the **** was Pages thinking when they dropped this feature, if they did?).
    I saw another post that suggested trashing Pages 5.0 and getting the old version out of a folder and using it (not sure I can now that I'm running Maverick).
    Do I need to go buy a new version of MS Word so that I can format books now?
    Help!
    (And I need it right NOW).
    Thanks,
    Lareena

    Both Pages '09 and Pages '08 work with Mavericks.

  • In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro V9.4.0

    Problem: In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?
    Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to set "Fit one full page to window" as scrolling default for every PDF

    I am trying to retain "Fit one full page to window" as default for every PDF so that when I open a document and scroll down once, it scrolls to the next full page, rather than chunks.  I then need to manually select the option from the menu bar, after which it functions properly. When I change the Default Layout and Zoom to "Fit Page", it merely changes the zoom factor; it doesn't enable the scrolling setting.  Is this no longer an option with Acrobat X? I recall being able to do so with previous versions.
    I've even tried doing this manually for each PDF by going to File>Properties and setting the initial view similarly.  This didn't work, though even if it did it would be too impractical based on how many PDFs I read on a given day.

    I've been hoping for an answer to this for awhile.  There's really annoying, since one would logically think "Default Layout and Zoom" under the page display contains that setting.  Yes, it will affect the zoom, but it has no effect on whether or not the "Fit one full page to window" option is actually selected.
    Every time I open a PDF, I have to click that icon, which gets super frustrating since I work with dozens of user manuals every day looking for spare parts, etc.
    I really hope someone can answer this.

  • How can i set SINGLE PAGE. ENABLE SCROLLING as default view?

    how can i set default setting for view? I would like to set DO NOT SHOW GAPS BETWEEN PAGES. SINGLE PAGE. ENABLE SCROLLLING as default view.

    For viewing PDFs without embedded IV options you can set values under Preferences > Page Display, but if a file has the zoom or scroll mode defined in its properties, those will always win over the application defaults.

  • When importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

    when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

    Then use a Layout template.
    I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
    Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
    Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
    I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

  • How to set bottom margin on pages

    how do I set bottom margins on pages document.  The printer always cuts it off

    That may just be part of your printer's non-printable area.
    Most printers do not print right to the edge with a large margin at the bottom of the sheet.
    To find out exactly where your printer prints, make a grey box to fill your entire page then print that, The white margins are non-printing.

  • Why won't Pages set uneven margins for binding a booklet?

    I have set up a booklet, mostly with pictures, with a page size of 5.5 x 8.5. I want a wider inside margin for binding the booklet. Pages 09 lets me select this margin, but it doesn't appear on the screen. I am planning to have this booklet printed by a professional printer, not on my own printer. How can I make this work?
    I am using 10.6.8.

    Beth,
    First, I suspect from your picture that you may be working with a Page Layout document, which would seem appropriate for the subject matter. In that case, margins are pretty much irrelevant because they apply to the main text layer, which doesn't exist. All objects in Page Layout are floating and can be positioned anywhere, including off the page. You just center the left pages on (in your example) on a layout line 4" from the left edge of the page and the right pages on a line at 4 ½."
    It's a little hard to see from your photo, but the ruler measurements don't seem to have any relationship to your page so there may be some other issue here. (If you type Command Shift 4, you get a cursor which you can drag across the screen to capture a screenshot, which will be easier and more readable.)

  • How to set Pages and Numbers to become default applications for attachment?

    I installed Leopard and have just installed iWork.
    I started noticing that the applications of .doc and .xls that come in file attachments in my mail do not use Pages and Numbers as their default application.
    .doc uses TextEdit
    I copied the file to the desktop, changed the default app to Pages, but it still doesn't work. All new mails with .doc still uses TextEdit as default app.
    How to change this?
