Pages 5.2: two letters with accent (e.g. "éé") issue

I use the Dutch version of Pages 5.2 with OS X 10.9.2.
Whenever I type two vowels that both have accents (e.g. "één", "héél" or "dóór") my typing cursor disappears as soon as I enter the second accent. Normally (as in: in Pages '09), this would be the order of typing:
' e ' e
The accent is highlighted in yellow and when I press 'e' it creates the 'é' character. Pretty straightforward. However, in Pages 5.2 the second accent isn't highlighted in yellow and makes my cursor disappear, giving me this:
é'
Pretty annoying. Anyone else experience this?

The behavior that you are experiencing does not occur with a North American version of Pages v5.2.
Try just holding down the letter e and waiting for the accent pop-up panel. Then you can either choose the accented character choice with mouse, trackpad, or keyboard (in this case 2).

You use Option/alt key shortcuts like Option/alt + e, then e to get é. Here is list:

Memory Game interation - letters with accents

Hello, I have set up the Memory Game interaction in Cap. 7. I want the user to match English and French terms. However, any letters with accents (année = year) simply do not show up in the active game. I can indeed enter them when making up the game, but when I go to run the game, all such letters are simply ignored (omitted). Instead of année, one sees anne! What can be done? Thank you. Marvin DuBois

Thanks again, Lilybiri. Here's to hoping . . .
By the way, perhaps I should mention that I've found what appears to be a work-around. In Memory Game, one can insert text or pictures. I've typed out all the words in Word, and then taken snips (screenshots) of the French terms with accents. Thus far it seems to work perfectly. The terms in Word are on a white background, and I've managed to get the font size about right, and thus no appreciable difference shows up between the text and graphic versions.
Perhaps I will run into problems at some point, i.e. perhaps the text and graphic versions will scale differently. But I don't know that this will be a problem. (I'm just preparing for the worst . . . )
Thanks again. Marvin

Letters with accents?

How do I insert an accented letter? I want to properly spell resumé on a website, but copying-and-pasting from the e-acute entry at Wikipedia is the only way I can figure out how.
Thanks!

Actually, I figured it out. For those of you with the same question about iWeb, here's how I found it:
1. Click the "Format" drop-down menu.
2. Click "Fonts."
3. Click "Show Fonts."
(The keyboard shortcut for all of the above is Command-T)
4. On the "Fonts" window that pops up, Click the gear icon in the lower left-hand corner.
5. Scroll down, click "Characters."
6. Make sure "by Category" is highlighted.
7. In the left column, scroll down to "Accented Latin."
8. In the right column, click the character you want.
9. On your webpage, your cursor must be positioned in the spot you want the character to appear.
10. Click "Insert." The character will appear on your webpage.
The "Characters" panel works for a very large number of different symbols.

What can i do to modify the sentence matches ???
Any help is greatly appreciated.By definition, \w is equivalent to the character class: [a-zA-Z_0-9]
Therefore, you'll have to define your own character class or use defined classes for Unicode blocks.
For example:text.matches("[\\p{InBasicLatin}\\p{InLatin-1Supplement}]+")

IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How to print two sides with one page?

I have a PDF that is one page long and I'd like to print the same thing twice (front and back) on one page. Can I do that?
I've tried printing two copies with the printer set to double-sided, but it just printed two sheets with one side on each sheet.

Well sure; Go back to the authoring application that created the documents and do a 2-UP page. Make the existingg page large enough to accomodate the extra content. Is that what you're asking or do you really mean print to a printer with a back up ? In that case just flip the page over and print page 2 on the other side.
Or are we missing something ?

Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

[CS3 JS] How to search for accented letters with GREP

Hello,
In the following script I have two words, each that has an accented letter. It appears that neither in the script nor in the Find and Replace dialog that GREP will recognize words with accents. It will replace accented characters however. I can do a search for words with no accents but that will lead to trouble when I only want to change the word if it has an accent.
Any advice would be great!
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var rawWordsAccented = ["André","Barrës"]; //find these words
var rawWordsAccentedDHyphens = ["~-Andr\\x{00E9}","~-Barr\\x{00EB}s"]; //replacement words
for(var k =0; rawWordsAccented.length > k; k++){
    var numWords = theGrepChanger(myDoc,rawWordsAccented[k],rawWordsAccentedDHyphens[k]);
    }//end for k
function theGrepChanger(docRef,grepFindIt,grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    var arrGrepFindIt = myDoc.changeGrep();
    return arrGrepFindIt;
}//end theGrepFinder

John, perhaps it works in CS5 but not in CS3.
Peter, the problem is not in the replacement word or looping through that array backwards or forwards. The problem is finding a word with an accented character using the GREP mode.
In using the Find/Replace dialog I cannot find André. Nor Andr\x{00E9}, using Unicode. So if the dialog won't work it appears a script won't work. If I use "Andre" in the Search field it will find "Andre" and "André."
However I did find that if I change the GREP function in the script to the text mode I can find only words with accented characters and then replace them to my heart's content.
Tom
function theTextChanger(docRef,textFindIt,textChangeIt){
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = textFindIt;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = textChangeIt;
    var arrTextFindIt = myDoc.changeText();
    return arrTextFindIt;
}//end theTextChanger

I have a one-column table in pages. Each cell has text and a number separated by a colon. Can I automatically make it two column with everything to the right of the colon in the second column?

I have a one-column table in pages. Each cell has text and a number separated by a colon. Can I automatically make it two column with everything to the right of the colon in the second column?

Here's another way that is pretty quick to do.
Formula in Column B is:
=LEFT(A, FIND(":", A))
Formula in Column C is:
=RIGHT(A, LEN(A)-FIND(":", A))
You can eliminate the colon from the result in column B by writing:
=LEFT(A, FIND(":", A)-1)
Once you do the conversion, you should freeze the result by Selecting columns B and C and then Command-C, Edit > Paste Values.

Jerry

I'd still prefer to keep separate user accounts. I never had any issues like this before. The only time I started having a problem was when I was just trying to force empty the trash a few months ago. I came on here looking for a solution and someone posted a way to empty the trash using the terminal. Before then, I hadn't used the terminal for anything--it was just another app in my utilities folder. (None of this has anything to do with having separate user accounts. Plenty of people with kids make second and third user accounts on their laptops so that multiple people can use one laptop, having more than one user on a laptop is not very difficult.) But thank you, I'll try that out and see if it works!

I just purchased an ibook for my mac for the first time and it started with two pages then switched to one with notes and i can't change it back. Anyone else having this problem?

Up the top where the three buttons are (red yellow green) are three images. Click on the third image that looks like a notepad (not the first which is a library book), and that should get rid of 'Notes'. To read using two pages make the window bigger.

Printing Two-Up with Cover page

Hi,
I would like to print a document two-up with a cover page, so that all the pages make sense. Is there a way to do it in Acrobat 9? I've tried the various options under Page Handling but they aren't what I want. Any suggestions?
