Pages, import address to text box

I have a pages template with an text box for an address.
I use around 20 different addresses and have been copy and pasting or typing them in manually.
Is it possible to have a list of addresses somewhere so I can choose which one I need and insert it automatically?
Don't seem to be able to find a solution on here so don't know if to can even be done!
Thanks in advance...

Many thanks Peter. I'll do that. Along with the old iMovie and iWeb.
It is infuriating when Apple replaces a good application - easy to use and very functional - with something that is clunky and lumpen and has fewer features, or discontinues it altogether.

Carry over formatting to the next page without adding a text box

I've written 15 books on the old pages and had no trouble carrying the formatting to the next page without adding a page or adding a text box to the added page. I just kept on typing. I've added the new pages and had trouble right from the start so I went back to the old and got a good start, but going through that added procedure on every new page gets old in a hurry.
It shows the number of pages at the bottom, but a new page doesn't come on automatically when I type.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ron - [email protected]

1. Why not continue to use Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder?
2. In Pages 5:
Setup (gear icon far right of toolbar) > check Document Body
and the text will flow from page to page.

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes?

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes? This was a great feature in the previous iWork: Pages version.

I agree. The latest version of Pages is marketed as a huge leap forward, and indeed it probably is...
How so? It has a new coat of paint, Apple sells it as "New" and everyone thinks it is an "improvement"?
How on earth can you not notice or ignore what is so obviously wrong with it?

Pages 5 Where is text box linking and autoflow?

Pages 5 appears to be missing the ability to link text boxes and autoflow them. This is really important for the imposition (putting the printed pages in order) of small booklets.
Does anyone know if it is possible in Pages 5?

Many thanks Peter. I'll do that. Along with the old iMovie and iWeb.

In keynote - Leather Book theme - is there a way to remove the artwork in the middle of the cover page (between the two text boxes) (the squiggly thing)??

I am trying to create a poster - in Keynote - transferring it to PDF then to JPEG so I can print it - and while I like the background in this Keynote theme (leather book) I can't seem to remove the artwork that is positioned between the two text boxes. Does anyone know how??? Can it even be done?

I somehow ended up on creating a new master slide. I can FINALLY access the artwork - it has a box around it of x's - but I can't seem to do anything. Delete doesn't work. Trying to shrink the box doesn't work. I'm not getting a dialog box when I click on it that is specific to the x'ed area. It pertains to the full background page. I'm obviously missing something - the fact that I have never been in Keynote before may have something to do with it! :-)

How do I create text flow in Pages 5.1 if text boxes do not link?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way Pages 5.1 enables text to flow between text boxes if the text boxes do not link? Thanks!

Like I said, Peter, new to the forum. As for the app store I assumed the new version would, if anything, enhance the functionality of older versions. I obviously made the wrong assumption, both there and thinking that Apple might be paying attention to what is going on here. If I seem upset, it's because I just spent a bunch of money on a new system and am slowly discovering the many small ways in which Apple's software (and hardware) is being dumbed down. Seems like now that Jobs is gone and Apple's stock is through the roof, the cost-cutter... I mean stock-inflators are calling the shots.

Someone said to add the title on each web page on the main text box. Which is that?

I read in the discussion items that you should not bother with meta tags but just wirte the title in your main text box on each page with the word image in the beginning. Where in the main text box? The first one on the page? That has my web page title. Help. Judy

iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
Practice.

Linking text boxes in Pages

I can no longer link text boxes in Mavericks. I have version 10.9.3 installed. It seems like this is a problem that should have/would have been addressed long ago. When I go to Format in Pages, the Add Link is in light grey and it will not let me add the link. Am I missing something....

You should be posting in the Pages for Mac community for better response.
The last Pages version that linked text boxes was Pages ’09 v4.3. Pages v5.2 does not have this capability, and only Apple knows when or if they will fix that glaring omission.
If you had the older mentioned Pages installed before (downgrading) to Pages v5+, it was moved into /Applications/iWork ’09, and remains a functional improvement over Pages v5+.

How to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master pages?

Ok, as the title states, we are trying to figure out if it is possible to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master page. When you look at our Master Page layout, we have a text box in the upper left hand corner of the left hand page, this is used for our machine serial numbers. Then we have an anchor frame that automatically fills out the figure number. Let's say I have pages 2 & 3 (left & right), they have a S/N at the top of the page for the machine, then pages 4 & 5 have a different S/N. If I have to add more pages in between pages 2 & 3 (bumping the current 4 & 5 to 6 & 7), the anchor frame bumps to the next page, but the S/N text box doesn't. Is there a way to fix it so that they both move to the next page? Thanks for the help.
P.S. I can include images and other info if needed.

I have included a two pictures that should help me explain.
Master Page:
This is the master page set up, the "Page Text Box" has the flow set to "B" while the S/N text box has the flow set to "A". This setup is for our parts manuals, the left page is usually an illustration while the right page is usually a parts list. The text box, anchored frame & paragraph tag are empty in the master page set up. The "page text box" has a flow of "B" and the "S/N text box" has a master flow of "A".
Body Page 1:
When we create new pages, the paragraph tag automatically fills in the figure title on the left page, then we add an anchor frame within the text box to hold the illustration. You will notice that I added in a "test" serial number at the top of the page. Now if I need to go back and add two pages before this, the anchor frame, illustration and parts list will move to a new page, but the S/N text box will not. The "Before S/N TBD" would stay on the original page.
This is what happens, the text box containing the illustration and the parts list "bump" to the next page, but the S/N text box does not. So the question we have is there a way to link that text box to the page so when we create new pages the S/N text box moves with the illustration.
Does this help?
Thanks for the assistance Error7103.

I cannot link text boxes in Pages 5.0 like I could in previous versions. Solutions?

In previous versions of Pages, one could create text boxes and then link them. This was very useful for creating multi-page booklets with proper pagination, without having to use an expensive publishing software. Linking of textboxes is no longer available in Pages 5.0. Does anyone have a work-around for this problem?

Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Trash or archive Pages 5 (after exporting any documents back to Pages '09 format) and review it in the App Store.

I can't move text boxes out of box at top of page

I am using the iWeb SEO program to optimize my site for search engines. In so doing I created my own hyperlinked page names in individual text boxes and then placed them at the very top of the page. The trouble is that they will not show up when I update the site and I cannot move them out of a box at the top of the page.
There is a thin, wide rectangle sitting atop a thin line that runs all the way across the page. I cannot delete that thin rectangular box and if I try to drag it down it hits the line and just pushes the line further down. The same thing happens if I grab any of my navigation boxes (Home, etc.) If I attempt to move them down than that thin line moves down as well pushing the rest of the content down as I go. How do I rescue my navigation boxes from this area and why in the world are they locked in there in the first place???????

Hold the command key to dag textboxes from one layer to another.
And the default navigation links are locked in the naviation layer by design.
To add your own custom navigation, have a look here :

Adding a text box to a page that doesn't have one.

I want to place a caption on a page of photos where there is space to do so, but can't find any 'Text Box' tool that will let me do so. Does one exist and can anyone tell me how to find it please?
Many thanks

thanks - had not found that yet
When select a page and click design you get some alternative pay layouts (dim boxes in the design area) which contain page test and/or text boxes - when you select a photo and click design you get options for photo captions (at least in some templates)

QG,
You can do this with the addition of one simple step: Find and Replace.
I can't give you specific directions since I don't know what label layout you are using, and I'd rather leave that part to you anyway. A Mail Merge to Pages gives you one record per Section. To combine all the sections, all you need do is Find and Replace the Section Break characters and the 1-record per page document will collapse into multiple records per page, as many as will fit.
Here I have a small database for a team roster, in Numbers and I wish to print to labels in Pages.
Numbers doc looks like this:
And, Pages doc looks like this:
After the Merge, the first page of my new document has one record per page and looks like this:
To collapes the document, I bring up the Find and Replace panel:

Text Box Orientation in Acrobat Pro 9

I am using the trial version of Acrobat 9 to test all features before purchasing. One thing I cannot figure out is how to change the orientation of text in a text box. The main portion of the page consists of horizontal lines of text. I have created a text box running up and down the left hand side of the page, and I want the text in that box to consist of vertical lines. It defaults to horizontal lines of text (like the main portion of the page), and when I try to rotate view, it rotates the entire page, not just the text box.
Is this possible to correct? This is an important part of my documents, so if I can't do it, I probably will not purchase Acrobat 9. Any help?

Thom Parker has posted 'Automating Placement of Annotations' on the Acrobat Users Community sites, http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/10/auto_placement_annotations . It uses the undoucmented or little documented Matrix2D feature of Acrobat.
