Pages (5.2) document unable to select a table within it

Hi all:
I created a form for my business back with Pages '09 (the best up until this point). I have a number of tables within the form and, until now, I cannot select all of them for editing, moving, etc. I double-click over the table and nothing. I select all (Command + A) and the table gets highlighted, but you cannot select it.
I've tried Bring All To Front, Move All To Rear, etc. and that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
I'm desperate!

Hi again Jerry,
Ok, I should have tried this at the beginning, but I think I've freed it. It must be a bug in the conversion from Pages '09 to 5.2. I Copied All > Opened New (blank) > Pasted. The entire form is identical without Duplicating and now I'm able to select the table within it.
Is there a way to notify Apple of this? I find this version of Pages excedingly full of errors and counter-intuitive.
Thanks again!

Have you tried the basics, such as clearing the browser cache? Note that depending on the version of SSRS in use, Anonymous is not supported with SSRS.

After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

Problem with Pages. I have recently been unable to open Pages, or any documents from Pages on my iMac. Pages seems to be in the Cloud and can open a list of the documents in Pages, but can't open any of those documents.

Recently unable to open Pages or any documents therein. It seems to be stuck in the Cloud. Although I can open a list of the documents I can not open any of the documents.

The answer is simple... If you want to remedy this, then don't save them as PDFs.
Word opens Word and text documents. Not PDFs.

New owner here. How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages. What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only. Thanks much.

New owner here. I see that in printing I can select one page and print same. How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time. Thanks much

Just change the range as illustrated below. If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

Message- Print No pages from the document were selected to be printed

I have had this application for some time, simply never used it. Last night I tried converting a PDF file to word, unsuccessfully, I might add.
Today, whilst printing a page, my printing settings appear to have been reset because when I selected Print selected page, the following message appeared:
Print
No pages from the document were selected to be printed message
How do I reconfigure my settings to preview rather than defaulting to PDF? Kindly advise. Cheers.

I have only been able to print by exporting from iphoto. I have a new HP printer and there is software that supports photo printing ("HP photo smart") and I have been able to do it this way. On some occasions I have been able to use the iphoto>print>then preview before actually printing. There is a print option on the preview pane and that has worked on occasion...unsure why it doesn't work always. Please pass on any other hints, or let me know if this works for you!!

In the Finder, how do you select Pages '09 from Pages 5.0 documents

Pages 5.0 came pre-installed on my new iMac / Mavericks computer. Before that I had worked with Word for Mac. After a while I discovered the now well-known flaws in Pages 5.0 . I read discussions on the internet from which I concluded I could better continue with Pages ’09 which I had available from another (legal) source but never used.
Pages ’09 appears to work fine for me but Pages 5.0 keeps interfering as being the standard program designated to open “all documents of this type” (Get Info / Command I). Thus, documents made and saved in Pages ’09, may be inadvertently saved in Pages 5.0. At least, this is what I think is happening. You cannot see which is which since both versions have the extension “pages”.
I have a saved-search result comprising all files with the “pages” extension and I want to select all Pages 5.0 documents therein and change the whole lot, if possible with one key stroke, to show that “all documents of this type” must be opened in Pages ’09. I cannot find the way to work this out. Who helps?

My personal experience is as follows:
tag:Blue will find every document that has a blue tag, regardless of tag name.
tag:Pages '09 will find only documents with this specific tag name.
The exception to the second example is when you have tagged a few files with a specific tag name, then revisit the Finder Preferences and decide to change the tag name in place. This forces the tag name to update to the new name on all of the files bearing the prior tag name, and these will be found in the new tag name search.
Tag colors but not tag names are available in Finder views of documents.
You can even create Finder Smart Folders that park in the left column of your Finder window. These have special search criteria built in such as all documents that have a tag containing the string, “Pages '09.” When you click on this Smart Folder, a Finder window appears with all of your Pages '09 documents shown, providing they are appropriately tagged beforehand. You would need to first enable the tag attribute.
OS X Mavericks: Create or Modify a Smart Folder
I type just an arbitrary letter to trigger the sub-toolbar in step 3. I then click the + symbol, and set Kind is document. I click the + symbol again, and this time, I ignore Last opened date and select Other... from the bottom of that selection list. Scroll down until you find the attribute Tags and then on the right, select it, so it will show in the menu. Click Ok. Now, click on the Last opened date and instead choose Tags matches Pages '09. Now, proceed with step 6. Change the name from Searching "your login directory" to an appropriate string that will fit in the left column of your Finder window, e.g. Pages 09 docs.
The application version that created the document is not stored in the Pages documents, and Apple has chosen to use the .pages extension, regardless of compatibility or application version. This means that neither Finder nor human eye can discern the version of Pages that created the document. The only way off that island is programmatically checking the document contents which differs slightly between Pages ’08, ’09, and v5.

Error in iPhoto 6: "no pages from the document were selected to be printed"

Getting this error: "no pages from the document were selected to be printed" after -- you guessed it -- selecting a photo and trying to print (from iPhoto 6).
Everything was working fine (I had successfully printed several photos) and then I tried to get the printer to communicate through a Bluetooth dongle plugged into the printer, and now the printing won't work, although I'm plugged into the printer via USB. Printer is an Epson PictureMate PM200.
I've tried deleting the iPhoto preferences file, but that didn't seem to help.
Thanks!

Okay, so I ran the disk utility, repairing disk permission as well as deleting the iPhoto permissions file, and I have successfully printed - yippee =).
Thanks, Old Toad.

Why Do Pages Headers Go Away on a Two Page Document When I select No Header for Page One

MacBook Pro 15 Retina, Mid 2014 Chassis, Yosemite 10.10
In the PAGES application. I am writing a simple business letter I copied from a prior letter. The letter is two pages long. I add a header in the second page and it appears on the first page as well. I correct the problem, and unselect the box that indicates I want the same header on all pages. The header goes away on page one and on page two.
I cannot access a header for page two. It is as gone as gone can be.
I assume there is at least some amount of QA on this stuff, or do the customers do all of that?

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply.
I want to make sure I understand.
So I want to write a simple business letter, say to you. All standard settings, profile for a business letter.
I write the first page, and I happen to go one paragraph into the second page. At the upper right hand corner of the second page I "mouse over" the header, select the right side box, and enter To Peter, Page Two. Then I navigate to Document Inspector, under headers and footers, I select "Hide on First Page of Section." But that is not right? Because it doesn't solve my problem?
Just to make sure I understand, even though I am in the second page of the section, selecting the option will make the page headers go away for page one and page two? Forgive me I appreciate your help and am not blaming you. Apple expects me to not only go through the search to find this setting as it does not default, but Apple also wants me to create a second section for the second page, and then enter the header, then navigate to Documents Inspector and then select "Hide on First Page of Section?"
By the time I go through all of that, then save and print the two business pages, I then create an envelope in a new Pages document. Give it a name, enter your address, and then print, and save the envelope.
Thanks again Peter.
Does anyone else think that seems like a lot of extra work to get a two page, simple business letter, into the post?
Cheers,
Ken

I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document. I select them in the thumbnails. But I can't delete them. The 1st pages, the ones I want to keep, are the ones that are deleted. What do I do?

I want to delete the last 2 sheets in a Pages document. I select them in the thumbnails, but can't delete them.
When I choose delete, the 1st five pages are deleted.
What do I do?

"2) The last page, p 6, is not in a Section. When I delete p 6 ....pages 2 - 6 are deleted.
Only page 1 remains."
Every page in a Pages word processing document is "in a section". It may be the only page in its section, or it may be in the same section as several other pages. From the behaviour you are describing, I'd suspect your document has two sections: section 1 contains only Page 1, section 2 contains pages 2 to 6.
When you click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar to the left of the page, you'll see a yellow border around all or part of that page icon.
If the yellow border contains only page 6, then Page 6 is in a section by itself, and pressing delete will delete only page 6.
If the yellow border contains page 6 AND any other pages, then all of the pages within that yellow border are in the same section, and pressing delete (while the icons are selected) will delete all of the pages in that section.
To delete only page 6 (the last page in the document) you need to either:
Delete any text content (including invisible characters, and preferably including any other objects) on that page, following the suggestions by Peter above,
OR
Click immediately after the last text character on Page 5, then go Insert > Section Break to place Page 6 into a section of its own. Then click on the Page 6 icon in the sidebar, check that the yellow border encloses only page 6, and press delete.
Regards,
Barry
PS: It's pretty easy to add extra pages to a document without seeing the invisible characters that cause the page to appear. Not as easy as it was in Appleworks, fortunately where the personal record for one of my Grade 5 students was a 3 page document with over 1000 extra blank pages sent to a printer. AppleWorks read the enter key as a column break (which acts like a page break on a single column document). On a keyboard with a number pad, enter is in a very convenient location to rest a book (or an arm) while thinking about your writing (or chatting with your neighbor).

Can't select Master Page object on document page.

Hi,
Yes, I know this question has been asked a million times. But, it's just not working for me. I've got a simple green box at the bottom right of my master page. I've made it into a button. I've allowed the master page to overwrite. But, on my document pages I simply cannot select this object. I've made the object into a button, per the master page, and, I need to have it link from each page back to a previous page in the document. Yes, I've tried Cmd + Shift, then click on the object, but, that doesn't work.
My button shares space with a page text box. Those are the only objects on the page, though. If I move the text box up, then yes, I can select the button. But, that's cheating.
Thanks a lot for any help.

What do you mean shares space with? Is it on top of the button?
If so, try locking it the text frame..

Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am also experiencing the same problem only recently. I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now. Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
I am no longer able to use this program. Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine. Does anyone have a solution? I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Now in my Pages documents I cannot select/edit any objects or images. Help Please!

I just recently updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.2
I also updated my "Pages" when asked to.
Now when a open any of my Pages documents, I cannot select/edit any of the objects/images in those documents.
I have gone through the "Pages" help but still cannot solve the problem.
There used to be a "make background objects selectable" button, but I can no longer find it.
I have tried the "arrange tab" > section masters > make master objects selectable, but nothing happened
Any suggestions

Hello Kappy,
I checked out your link and I remember the import box popping up when I upgraded from iWork to Pages a few years ago. My problem is with all files (even documents created with "pages" last week. The documents open fine, I just cannot select/edit the objects/images in the background of my documents. Yes, I have tried going through all of the tab menus and layout options and tried "pages" help.
So my problem is that I cannot open documents and adapt them to my next lesson, etc.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Unable to use the table selection in the Pages Inspector on blank wordprocessing page. What am I doing wrong?

I was trying to draw a tables with 11 rows and 3 rows as a starts to try to make address labels. Downloading an Avery template didn't work. I opened the Inspector on a word processing blank page but none of the selections worked. "Body rows" and "body columns" were inoperable. Do I have a flaw in the Pages program that came with the iWorks?

Hi 'plexed,
Use the yellow Table button in the tools to insert a table. With any cell in the inserted table selected, the Table Inspector an all its controls become active.

Barry

Unable to save Pages 4.3 documents since 10.9.2 update

I like Pages 5.1, but have a lot of Pages 4.3 documents. I also use an app for creating wordsearches and crosswords which exports to Pages 4.3.
Prior to updating to OS 10.9.2 today, I was able to open 4.3 documents, edit them and save them.
I would be presented with the message 'This document is too old' and then be given the option to open it in 5.1
Once opened, I would also get a message box asking me if I wanted to convert the document to 5.1.
This no lonnger happens. I can open 4.3 documents using Pages 4.3, but cannot save them. Nor do I get asked to convert the file to 5.1.
What's happened?

Puzzlemaker is an app for Mac by Hokua Software
http://www.puzzlemakermac.com
I have been in touch with the developers who are looking into it.
They say:
"A temporary fix for the problem is to replace the & with the following:
&
and then export to Pages. The & symbol a special character used by Pages as its used in HTML, and thus when it sees the & it chokes. To render ampersand it needs to be converted to & first. This will be fixed in the next release"
Interesting!
