Pages 5.2.2, every line ends with a quote mark

Hello, hope someone can help with this problem.
As soon as I start to type words in Pages, a double quotation mark appears after my words.  Can anyone advise how to stop this happening?
If I type with invisibles on, the quote mark doesn't appear.
Others in the office running the same software don't have this problem.  Is there something wrong with my setup?
Thanks very much.
Allen

Pages v5.2.2 is an entirely different application than Pages ’09. Because it lacks over 100 features/functionality available in Pages ’09, it will quietly filter content from older documents that it doesn't support. That's one issue.
Is anyone else in your office using the Interstate font with Pages v5.2.2, and the same OS X 10.9 release?
Here are two simple things you can do, though I am betting on item 2 that will rebuild your system and local user font databases.
Use Disk Utility to verify/repair your permissions
Boot into Safe Boot Mode
Shutdown
At the boot chime, press and hold the shift key until you see a grey, horizontal progress bar
At the login prompt, after you type in your password, and before you click the arrow to login
Press and hold the shift key until you are logged in with the Finder menu bar showing
Test Pages v5.2.2 with your Interstate font (things will be slower because of Safe Boot Mode)
Reboot normally

  • File Problem (getting line ends with \r\n)

    I used readLine method     to read the line. It returns string.
    I want to get the lined that ends with 0D0A ( \r \n ).
    In the file in between there are many 0D. So my while loop
    returns all the lines ends with 0D. But I need only the lines ending with 0D0A.
    How can I differntiate these two types of lines
    .....0D
    ...........0D0A
    Is there any method in Java to differentiate these two lines.
    reading char by char is time consuming process and it produce some overhead.
    I think reading line by line gives the better solution
    here is the code
    import java.io.*;
    class checkAcc {
    public static void main(String as[]) {
    try {
    BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("exa.dat")));
    String s = null;
    byte[] b;
    while((s = bf.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println("From Dat File ===> " + s);
    } catch(IOException ie) {
    System.out.println(ie);
    Can any one pls give me the idea ...

    That's the nature of readLine() my friend. The definition is as such:
    Read a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
    There isn't anything wrong (performance wise) with using read() and processing it character-by-character.

  • A new symbol appeared on my ipad. It has a lock in the middle of nearly complete circle whose line ends with an arrow. Any ideas what this symbol is?

    A new symbol has appeared on my ipad 2.  It resides to the left of the battery level indicator in the upper right corner.  It is a locked lock symbol with an arrow that forms an incomplete circle around the lock.

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.

  • Plain ascii files have (ctrl-v)(ctrl-m) characters on the end of every line.

    Mac book Pro running 10.8 mountain lion.
    My preferred editor is vim (it comes with 10.8).
    When I re-edit a plain ascii file, every line ends with (ctrl-v) (ctrl-m).
    They appear after saving the file to hard drive.
    It started doing this just after moving from 10.7 to 10.8.
    question 1: Is there some way to turn off this feature?

    Hi,
    >>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
    Ok, but on the other hands:

  • ? at the end of every line

    When I send mail every line is interrupted and ended with a ? mark.
    What gives.

    Probably occurs only with recipients using Windows Outlook?
    If so and you are using RTF for message composition, Windows Outlook has a problem with Tiger Mail's RTF depending on the Outlook version the recipient is using.
    Try using Plain Text for message composition instead which should resolve the problem and hopefully Microsoft and Apple are working on it.

  • How to know a line of text file is ending with line feed or return?

    hi all, i have a program that read log file that generated by other service (apache http server for example), i want to know that each line is ending with "\r", "\n" or "\r\n" so i can skip them in the next time, like this:
    int char_counter=0;
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(logFileName));
    while((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
           char_counter+=line.length()+x_value;
    }and the next time read the log file, i will skip all the lines that read in previous time.
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(logFileName));
    reader.skip(char_counter);
    while((line=reader.readLine())!=null){
           char_counter+=line.length()+x_value;
    }with x_value is 1 or 2 depended on line end with "\n" or "\r\n".
    so, how to know which is the char line ending with?
    Edited by: secmask on Feb 21, 2009 5:46 AM

    Alright, the BufferedReader method readLine() reads all text until it finds a \n character. And then next time you call it it will automatically continue from where it left out.
    try this out it should show it as an example
    import java.io.*;
    public class readLineTest {
        static FileOutputStream filename;
        static BufferedReader input;
        public static void main(String[] args)
            try
                filename = new FileOutputStream("logFile.txt", false);
            catch (IOException e)
                //blank
            PrintStream output = new PrintStream(filename);
            output.println("this is the first line");
            output.println("this is the second line");
            output.println("this is the third line");
            try
                input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("logFile.txt"));
            catch(IOException e)
                //blank
            for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
                try
                    System.out.println(input.readLine());
                catch(IOException e)
                    //blank
    }

  • GREP question, hard return&tab after lines ending in (, space)

    I have a problem that I have been banging my head against the wall for hours trying to figure. I have pages and pages of remote codes I need to format in a specific way. This specific way causes a problem that creates the right side of my columns to look haggard with spots of comma spaces, example:
    Abex                 5011, 5286
    Accurian            5140, 5452
    Accuscan          5005, 5014
    Admiral              5003, 5004,
           5005, 5014, 5015, 5018,
           5025, 5035, 5040, 5041,
           5055, 5165, 5308, 5455
    I hope that comes out looking like I mean it
    There is a picture if it helps. Anyhow. I need it to look like this:
    I hope this helps. The thing is I have figured this out before and I forgot to save the style. I thought I did. I didn't. Sucks. But I did make it so that on lines ending with a comma and space it would hard return and tab.
    Please please help. This has my mind numb trying to figure it out and I have pages and pages of these codes to work through.

    @ GrantH
    That is an easy fix, which I would easily do, but it doesn't resolve the issue that the lines should not end in commas.
    @Jongware
    None taken. I have done something like this before. I know I have because the second picture I included is from a manual I have done before that shows it as such. Granted... that was a while ago and I may be mistaken on the text given for input. However, I'm "pretty" sure I remember having the same issue with the commas at the end and resolving it.
    @Hakkenlid
    This pretty much works for me with the exception of a few trouble spots where the Find just seems to skip over perfectly good matches. So far, this gives me a lot more help than where I was at though.
    @Hakkenlid
    This is what we are going with. It keeps the most readability and completely resolves my comma issue. Saved the expression for later. I really appreciate your help. My Friday started off to a much better start that I was looking forward to.

  • Pages won't break line between quote mark and parenthesis?

    Working on a manuscript in Pages, I find it won't do a line break between a quote mark and a parenthesis. For instance, there is the following text string:
    Buddha” (buddhavacana)
    Pages insists on keeping this string together, even if there's plenty of room on the previous line for the word Buddha” -- it will space out the previous line horribly to keep these two words together. If I remove the close-quote ” (which can be either a typewriter-style quote mark or curly), or the open parenthesis before the next word, it moves Buddha to the previous line. Doesn't matter what the words are, either; it can be:
    xxx” (xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
    When I go to another paragraph and add a close quote to a word at the end of a line, then an open parenthesis to the word at the beginning of the next line, suddenly they're stuck together, both moved to the second line, leaving the first line grossly spaced out.
    If there's both a quote mark and an open parenthesis (even though they are separated by a space, thus should break between them when appropriate), Pages insists they have to stay together. The only way I can separate them is by putting a paragraph break (return) between them, which causes other problems.
    Anyone have any idea why this happens, if Pages can be told not to do it?

    I wrote about that because I was surprised to get a closing curly one when I typed a straight one just after the word buddha.  I assumed, wrongly, that, as there was no opening double quote before, I would get an opening one.
    I understood later that the app decipher the typed char as a kind of apostrophe which is highly surprising when the app is running in French. The English curly quote buddha” may make sense (I'm not convinced that it really does) but the French chevron buddha» doesn't.
    Forcing the opening char:
    buddha“ or  buddha«gave the same behavior which I thought to be odd.
    I know that it's not a common practice but when I study a behavior, I try to examine it in all its aspects.
    Back to what make or doesn't make sense, I understand the behavior of buddha’ but not the buddha” 's one.
    I never saw a double quote used as an apostrophe character.
    So, I will file a report to Bugs Hunters.

  • Alignment Issues with Creating Crop marks

    I am doing some very basic print layout and creating crop lines at the tops and sides of the page for the printer. Unfortunately my crop marks are not aligning. For example when I specify a line to appear at the top of the page (which btw is 8.5" x 11" US Letter) via the Metrics Inspector at the coordinates start : x=1.75" y=0" and end: x=1.75" y=2", when the document is printed it is actually off by a 0.25". It also does not line up with the crop mark I put at the bottom of the page. This may not seem like a lot but will cause the printer to cut the paper uneven. Is there some way to insure that the cop marks print on the page exactly where they say they are in the digital version of the document?

    Have you enabled alignment guides in the Pages Preferences? It is a very handy feature to align objects in a document.
    When you are done then select the crop lines and group them. Then lock the grouped object!

  • QuickTime logo with a question mark

    Apologies if this is answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find the exact problem and I'm also very new at this.
    On certain web pages I get a quick time logo with a question mark over it appearing, that seems to indicate some kind of missing plug-in (though I may be wrong about this). It's only started happening recently, but I can't pinpoint why. I have Flip4Mac, Quick Time Pro and the latest (I think) Flash Player installed. It means that I cannot read certain pages or see certain elements of pages. As an example, I tried to visit 'www.menierchocolatefactory.com/index2.asp', but just got a big QuickTime logo with question mark. I downloaded their suggested plug-in, but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Not sure what resets these settings. Glad the solution was one of the easier paths.
    Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

  • Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

    I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign.  I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
    When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
    I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line.  Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF?  If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

    Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
    I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used.  I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
    Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file.  This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
    As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.

  • TS1702 In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    Does this occur in all of your Pages documents? Are you certain that you haven't formatted the type to run flush right? (Align right I mean - sorry old typographer lingo). Look at the ruler at the top and check the Align setting.
    Have you tried quitting Pages completely and the restart the iPad?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • HT4641 after modifying a document in Pages I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    after modifying a document in Pages ON MY IPAD AIR I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • New path-layers from every line with pen tool?

    Hi! I'm currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version and when I use the pen tool to make a beaver (school assignment), it all end up in one layer. I want to have a new path-layer from every line with the pen tool, so I can remove lines in the layer panel too. At the moment it's one layer that have a picture of a beaver and I can't see the individual lines I've drawn. When I used CS5 recently I didn't have this problem.
    Is it a setting I can change or does it have something to do with the news in CS6?

    If you want to see a "layer" for every object change the Layer Panel display by choosing Panel Options from the Layer Panel Menu. In the lower section of the panel options window, make certain Groups and Objects are both checked. You'll then see a "layer" for each object.
    I am quoting "layer" here because technically they aren't layers. They look like layers and are in the Layer Panel, but they don't exactly allow the options which actual Layers allow. You will be able to select and move the objects in the panel this way however.

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.
