Pages 09 and Hebrew

I am a student at a bilingual school where English and Hebrew are taught. I have work to do in hebrew, and using Pages or Keynote with the hebrew is HORRIBLE. Once you type in hebrew into pages, you cannot see the cursor in between letters! You can only click where you want the cursor, then navigate between the letters using the keyboard arrows, still not being able to see where the cursor is until you actually start typing. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! It is insanely time consuming as well. If I try to export the document to a PC, all of the words and punctuation are scrambled into an illegible mess!!!! Most frustrating of all, there is no email address to contact Apple about this type of problem. Could someone please tell me if there is anything I can do about this, or did I waste my money not buying Microsoft Office for Mac?

I can not even navigate between characters; it only allows me to be at the beginning or end of the text. Have you a solution for this?
If you click your mouse at a place in the text, I think you will find the insertion point is one character to the right (or something like that), even though the cursor has not moved.
In my view it is really pointless to try to use iWork (or iWeb) for RTL text, their bugs just make them unsuitable for this purpose. Use apps like Mellel, OpenOffice, Nisus Writer which do not have these problems.

    I think we have now had 7 years with the same RTL bugs in iWork apps, so I would not have a lot of hope that these will suddenly be fixed.  The place to ask is of course

  • I have IOS Version 10.6.8 and want to download pages, but it will only allow 10.9 ios only, is there anyway to get the older verson of pages downloaded? I hope someone can help me, as I am needed a program that allows Greek and Hebrew languages for docs.

    I was told by a friend that pages would help me do greek and hebrew documents if needed. I went to download, but the requirement is 10.9 IOS. Thats only on the new macbooks. Can anyone recomment another product to do these docs, or do I just have to wait on the 10.9 IOS to be released?

  • I have an iPad 2 with iworks, in pages and keynote I noticed it cuts the first letter on the right when I open an imported doc or ppt or even paste text from an email. I type in Hebrew (right to left language).

    How to solve?pages and keynote cut the first letter when opening an imported file from doc or ppt or even when pasting text to a new pages document.
    I write in Hebrew, which is a right to left language.
    Never got a warning that this apps do not work In my language. They are available in my country's AppStore and that was the reason I bought the iPad.
    Thank you,
    Diego

    All iWork apps, both for iOS and OS X, have always had bugs that make them unsuitable for RTL scripts for most purposes.  The only solution is to use something else.
    Also you can tell Apple you views here:

  • HT3387 When I use pages the languages that I mainly use are English and Hebrew. The spellchecker works for English but not with Hebrew. How can I add another language to the spellcheck?

  • Arabic and Hebrew sections of a .pdf document

    I need to rearrage a .pdf that contains Arabic and Hebrew pages. Acrobat will not allow the Arabic pages to be placed anywhere but at the end of the document. I am using Acrobat 7 on a PC with PC InDesign CS3 documents as the source.
    Any hints or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Linda, did you create these files with InDesign? If so, you should edit them there and not in Acrobat. Besides that, there shouldn't be any problem moving pages, no matter which kind of text they have. What exactly happens when you try to drag the pages to a new location?

  • Arabic and Hebrew features InDesign CC (2014 release) not accessible

    Hello,
    I need to create a lay-out with Arabic content in Indesign CC (2014 release). After checking how to go about that via the help-section (online and PDF) I have to conlude that the help does not help me any further.
    It says I need to, from the paragraph panel options, set InDesign to the world-ready paragraph composer in order to have the text direction etc. features enabled. This, however, is not the case. The panel still looks like before and I get no Arabic / hebrew features.
    This is the same for the character panel, wich also does not give the shown options for Character direction as shown in the Help screenshots.
    I have followed all the suggestions in the help section.
    I have also tried setting the default paragraph editor to World-Ready via the preferences, and then restart the program, but still no success.
    Please advise, it's urgent.

    Hi,
    Every change of plugins is resetting preferences.
    Each language has its own preferences. But you move or copy them manually but you might adjust them afterward, because everylanguage has not the same functionality. At least not on the same place.

    Hi William,
    It worked!
    Allthough I did not understand that, from the CC panel, I should install the entire app again. Thought this would go through the preferences window, but I noticed that, when changing the App language in the preferences, the app-list in in the panel changes.
    Only thing is now: all the preferences and personal workspaces are gone:-(
    Adobe realy doesn't make it easy, unless you're into IT, wich i am totally and absolutely not;-)
    Antways,
    thanks for the usefull info;
    Have a great weekend

  • Dreamweaver Help | Arabic and Hebrew text

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/arabic-hebrew-text.html

    I'm a U.S. user who needs to insert and maintain short Hebrew text snippets, RTL, in otherwise LTR English Latin web pages.    US DW CS5 is unable to cope.
    This page discusses "Arabic and Hebrew"  but as of this moment (8/8/2012) all I can find on the Adobe store on the Middle East and North Africa store page are English, English-Arabic, or French-Arabic versions of DW CS6.   Does "Arabic" imply equal support of Hebrew?  (If so, this should be made explicit.)   If so,  is the English/Arabic/Hebrew DW CS6 fully bilingual?  That is, is it fully usable and maintainable by a user who speaks neither Arabic or Hebrew, only English?  Are the upgrade paths from US CS5 to  Arabic and Hebrew CS6 and so on distinct or intertwined?    Will Adobe U.S. support, in total, be able to help with the features described on this page?

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get back my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Tool Bar?

    I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I cannot cope with changes to my home page because I do not have the knowledge/skills to undo the changes your program has installed.
    AT&T is my Internet Service Provider. Firefox is my browser. Right? When I installed the newer version of Firefox it usurped my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Task Bar. I want my old home page and task bar back.
    I used system recovery to go back a couple hrs. prior to when the new Fire Fox was installed and lost Firefox & At&T. Was in a great state of frustration when I couldn't get system recovery up after going to control panel. System recovery finally popped up again and I went forward to after installation of new Fire Fox and have system up again.
    I am unable to read up on new Fire Fox program now. All I want is my old AT&T Yahoo Home Page back with their Task Bar. I can learn new Fire Fox as time permits.
    For a non-profit organization I find Fire Fox quite aggressive. That is good when mobilizing us to write or call Congress but not to take over my Home Page.
    Will have to admit new Fire Fox sure is faster.
    I do want to commend you for taking a stand against what Congress is trying to do and also for your non-intrusive, not obnoxious way of asking for donations. You help inform us and let us know of your need and anyone that is not a free loader with a conscience, I think, would make a donation according to what one can afford. Keep up the good work and the good fight..........please do help me restore my home page back to AT&T with the old task bar.
    I appreciate all the help you can give me. Please excuse this long note.
    Blessings, Helen
    Added Note: AT&T home page returned. Still need Tool Bar. Troubleshooting information from Firefox help for Tool Bar below. Also info to restore Refresh and Home icon below.

    This is the answer from Firefox Help to get Tool Bar back up:
    Why are the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) missing?
    If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
    To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
    To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
    Menu Bar - Win
    Pressing the Alt key didn't work for me but the latter instruction did the trick.
    Check the Navigation Bar too on the pop-up menu if you want your Refresh and Home Icons to show. It took quite a few right-clicks for me before the pop-up menu I needed came up so keep trying until the right menu comes up.

  • After userA check out a page, edit the page and save, Sharepoint prompt userA have checked out the page

    In one of site collection at our SP2013 farm, we have "SharePoint Server Publishing" site feature and "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature activated.
    One of user (UserA) create a page in a page library. The new page is marked as "checked out by UserA". It is fine.
    Then UserA open the page -> edit page -> key in something and "save". Then the page prompt him "The file Pages/subfolder/test001.aspx has been modified by i:0#.w|test\userA on 8Aug2014 xx:xx:xx" and ask him to choose "Leave
    this page" or "say at this page".  The date time is exactly the time he was editing the page.
    Whatever he choose will save the page and return to "View" mode (non-edit mode).
    It is not the only problem. When userA want to edit the same page again and save, it prompt him that "The page could not be saved because your changes conflict with recent changes made by another user. If you continue, your changes will be lost."!
    When userA choose continue or "check out". Follow screen show up:
    What can we do? In summary, userA cannot edit a page because userA have checked out! We have tried for different users have exactly same issue.

    We are having the same problem, the one thing we have found is if we use the Save Icon on the top right hand side of the page in the ribbon (next to follow), that Save works just fine.  What is causing the issue is when trying to use the Save Icon on
    the left hand side of the ribbon that has the dropdown options to 'Save', 'Save and Keep Editing' or 'Stop Editing'.  It doesn't matter if you just click on the main Icon or choose any of the dropdown options, they all cause issues with the pages.  
    Thoughts?

    I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?
