Pages background objects - not selectable

Hi,
I recently updates Pages and opened a document that I was previously working on (in the older version). I used to make background objects selectable in the inspector, the inspector has since changed and I cannot click on a textbox that I placed in the background. Therefore I cannot amend the text in the box nor move the box, I can't even highlight it. I have searched online and tried the "Make master objects selectable" and I still cannot do anything to it.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks.
Lu

Kiko,
That control is now in the Arrange menu, Section Masters.

Pages 5 OS X 10.9 background objects not selectable.

I have upgraded to the new pages.
I am using a file i creadted in the old one. I have a table that kept going to the background. I used to tick the "make background objects selectable box" and volla I could edit it.
I can not find this option anywhere in the new pages and am unable to edit the table contents. I have tried sleceting "make master objects selectable" in the arrange menu bar. This has had no effect.
Please help!

This problem bugged me for days in the new Pages. It seems background images aren't really supported that well. The option "Make background objects selectable" has disappeared. So now I have documents with an 'unselectable' image that I can't move around or delete.
I finally found the following workaround to delete an unselectable background image.
1. Use Select All (⌘+A) and copy all content to the clipboard (⌘+C)
2. Open a new blank document (⌘+N) and paste the content there (⌘+V)
3. In the new document, the 'backgrounded' image will be in the foreground, inline with text, and it's selectable with the mouse!
4. Select, modify or delete the object.
5. Then simply paste the fixed content over your original document.
I truly hope this gets a real fix though. Pages has enough problems as it is, but the flexible layouting and object placement were a real nice feature compared to Word.

Copied L-objects not selected by PCH

we copied L-objects to a new PLVAR and number range. All objects and relations are shown in PP02 but logical database PCH does not select them.
Any ideas?

issue solved. We had to run RHPLOGI0.

Opening a Word Document in Pages - floating objects not supported

I am trying to open a Word document in pages. It is a table of labels with artwork and text. Pages tells me that floating objects inside cells are not supported and were deleted. I've tried making them inline with text in the original document and then opening in Pages, but then I can't make them floating again. Anyone know how to do this? I really don't want to have to buy a Microsoft product!

Don't buy a M…soft product, use the free openOffice or the free neoOffice.

Home page background photo not displaying after changing out the image

I decided to edit the photo that was my background image for my desktop home page. Now it doesn't load when I access the site from my mobile or iPad even though it is there and displays fine from my desktop.
I have a mobile version of my site with a link to the desktop version included in my navigation menu. I don't have a tablet version of my site.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm stumped.

Hey, Thanks Brad. It doesn't seem to be timing out (i.e there is no "processing" indicator in the browser the way it looks if something is trying to load). It gets all settled in and just never brings up the photo. It's a little reluctant to do so on the desktop, but after a half a second it goes ahead and puts it on there.
Additionally, not sure if this is related,... but the text I have on the home page jumps about and is not a mirror image of what I see on the Muse design side. I had to put the text boxes on top of each other to get them to into place when I publish to desktop. They kept trying to go on top of the plane for some reason even though I had them placed just so on the design side. But this started happening before I replaced the image so maybe it's unrelated. Idk
One thing, I wonder: I thought Muse did it automatically, but do I maybe need to optimize the photo for web? Outside of that, the only other thing I can think of to do is to delete the current home page and start fresh. But I'm afraid to do that. I don't know how to do that.
Thanks so much for your help. I will PM a link fyi.

Page background brightness not consistent using image fill

And I can't seem to figure out how to adjust it. Can anybody help? I've tried copying from the page itself, adjusting the brightness to match and re-importing to iweb, but that doesn't work either.

Thanks old toad! It's www.jeffreyjanger.com You'll see that the background on the home page is lighter than the background on all the other pages (which are consistent). I'd like them all to have the same brightness of the home page.
While we're at it, there's also something funky going on when the theme and background first load. I know my ISP is very fast and I can't imagine that they're such big files that they don't load faster.

How to remove background object in new pages?

How do I remove a background object on document issued from previous pages version?
Before I could tick 'background object are selectable' or something like this... Now I cannot find anything comparable!

Section Masters have static uneditable items on every page, really just watermarks.
I take this back. It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
1. Add a vertical rule with the Shapes tool.
2. Add either 3 text boxes or a 3 row table
3. Select all the above: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.
This has been always the absolute worst part of Pages 5 and I really can't figure out how anyone at Apple thought this was good design.
This was all resolved 30 years ago in PageMaker, Ready-Set-Go, and several other DTP Apps. Not to mention it worked very effectively in Pages '09.
I admit the Captured Pages implementation in Pages '09 is less than obvious, but its function once set up is way faster than anything else I know.

Photo pages backgrounds are skewed - how to unskew them?

The new Albums page is a great idea. And I love the rollover to skim the files in the album.
But clicking on an album takes me to a page that is not formatted well. The background behind the photos is skewed off from the rest of the template's theme in a jarring and obviously incorrectly formatted way.
But the background is not selectable for dragging or deletion.
Any idea of how to fix this?
Also, any way of getting rid of the "Subscribe" links in albums?
Thanks!
doug

People have reported problems with certain themes. I have been using "black" and "darkroom" with no problems. Try switching to another theme to see if this is the case.
To get rid of the subscribe button go to the "photo" inspector and uncheck "allow visitors to subscribe".
For information on the "download" button go to..

Page background, half disappeared?

Hi gang,
This occurs fairly regularly. I've got a page background (a gradient). The site is loading fine. And then, when I sometimes do adjustments to a page ... the page background is not the FULL page, but only a portion of the page.
I go back to the iWeb project and redo the page, alter it enough so that I can reload it as a changed page ... and sometimes it gets rid of the partial page, and sometimes it doesn't ... the partial page is still there.
If I do the page over and over again, eventually I get the full page background.
I'm wondering what might be happening here.
All ears, Ben

Where are you losing the page, online or in iWeb? If on line try emptying your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the page.

Trying to make an image fill from other template my page background

I want to make the green box in the below picture the page background (and not manually by dragging the box as big as the window). Is that possible? Can I somehow get the image file for it?

One reason would be if you had begun with a Page Layout template rather than a Word Processing template. The option isn't available in Page Layout because of the lack of a Text Layer in that mode.

Forecast profile not selected by forecast job

Hi Experts,
I am wondering why forecast job in background does not select the forecast profile, which I have assigned in interactive planning. It always takes the job profile even though in activity definition the checkbox (Always use job profile) is unchecked!?
My other question addresses assignment of CVC's to forecast profiles: for a specific CVC is there a way to figure out in which forecast profiles this CVC is included? Checking this in TX /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 is very time consuming.
Many thanks for your support
Aban

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

I am so frustrated. I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

BACKGROUND PROCESSING, REPORT NOT LOADING, "OBJECT NOT SET TO INSTANCE..."

Post Author: thecoffeemachine
CA Forum: .NET
I already posted this message in other Web sites, but I am almost getting crazy here and I need help:
HI:
The Web application I am testing was having several issues related to loading Crystal Reports. It was fixed and I do not know which of the 1000 things I did to fix it; but now it began, again, to have the same behavior after I had a conflict with another Web site that was in the same server.
The thing is that I had another virtual directory where resided a copy of the same Web app. for testing purposes/working with the Visual Studio. The reports were loading all fine, very fast, all perfect... And suddenly the assemblies of one Web site and the other began to "blend" together and..... well the same behaviors appeared again. I tried to copy the last stable backup and rebuild the Web app... but it did not work.
At the very first time that one requests the report, it shows without problem. At the second time it shows an error message related to "cannot submit to background processing", and sometimes "object not set to an instance.." ... and on the third time it just never shows up and the app. becomes unresponsive. I have to close the window and request the Web site again in another browser window. If I wish to see the report again I have to wait for hours until it shows it.
I am using Visual Studio 2003 and the Crystal Report version that was shipped with that Visual Studio version. I am working with Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Below is the VB code:
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load             Me.SqlConnection1.Open()

        Me.SqlDataAdapterMainData.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseSyllabusData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterReferences.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseReferenceData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterTextBook.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseTextbookData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterObjectives.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseObjectivesData")         Me.SqlDataAdapterTopicData.Fill(Me.DtsSyllabusCompleteData1, "procWebSelectCourseTopicData")

I already have tried moving the Crystal Reports dll´s to the bin directory. ..... I have tried calling the Garbage Collector at page unload...I also have checked, inside the report, that the database is "up to date"... ... recycling the worker process of the IIS... etc...
I see that, in debbuging mode inside the Visual Studio, when the page loads the debbuging window shows a message notifying that the symbols related to the Crystal Reports dll's could not be loaded.
Should I need to modify the default properties of the database? I checked "database is case insensitive", "use indexes or server for speed".. I have tried checking and unchecking the box "performing grouping on server"
Oh by the way, my report has about 4 subreports in it. Each report loaded shows 1 or 2 pages.
ANY HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED....

Reports: Object not printing on 'ALL PAGES' as specified in Property sheet,

Oracle Reports 6.0.8.11.3
Object not printing on 'ALL PAGES' as specified in Property sheet, 'PRINT OBJECT ON' property.
page size orientation has been verified at main report layout node 'f4', it is set 11x8.5
Thanks for your help.

Got it.
Problem:
Heading included in Main body printing only on first page even though, PROPERTY, PRINT_OBJECTS_ON for all objects are set to:
ALL PAGES.
Solution: Select the parent frame of the objects that are printing on all pages and drag it down to include the frame that encloses the Heading information that is currently not printing.
