Pages Messes with My Line Spacing when I save a document

When I open up a saved document in Pages--at least when I saved it as a .doc--the first line of my poems is usually one or two lines down from the top of the page, even though I've saved it on the top line of the page. Does that make sense? It's as if in the process of saving and reopening it Pages somehow moves down the first line of the document. Sometimes it's one line, sometimes it's two, and sometimes it doesn't happen, or it only happens to certain pages out of a fifty page document. I'd appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to solve it! I'm sending out a book of poems from my new macbook, and it's driving me to distraction!

Hi Professor C
Welcome to the forum.
Click on my blue name and send me a sample.
I'll see if I can spot what is causing the problem.

  • Problem with dashed line spacing when printing to pdf

    Hi all,
    this may be a problem with my pdf program (I use bluebeam), but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix it whether in indesign or bluebeam.
    so I made a dashed line using the stroke command in indesign. I need to have the spacing set to 3pt dash and 2pt space. I also need to keep the lineweight to 0.5...this all works fine and appears correctly in indesign when I preview
    the problem is that some of the dashed lines, but not all of them, change size and spacing in the pdf when I view it. it seems to change when I zoom in and out as well. I thought maybe this was just some odd feature with bluebeam and it would still print to the correct size, but it does not, it prints the lines as different sizes. does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix? ive viewed and printed from adobe reader and it seems to be okay there but this file will be accessed by multiple other people and they may not be opening and printing in adobe reader..
    thanks guys

    When you export a PDF you will notice that you are exporting to Adobe PDF. Using any reader beyond Acrobat Pro or Reader is a crapshoot.
    For issues with Bluebeam I suggest you contact the developer.

  • How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?

    I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?

    Dave,
    The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
    "Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
    The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
    ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.
    Thank you for using the Developer Zone Discussion Forums.

    See also this article about caret browsing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • In the program pages there is a function that automatically will save may document not only one i click save

    in the program pages there is a function that automatically will save may document not only one i click save

    In Lion and Mountain Lion you must save the first time then it will autosave for you with versions.
    ForEverSave, a 3rd party application, might actually prompt you after a set period. Check it out and any alternatives.

    I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

    I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

  • When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

    When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers.  I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader.  Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

    Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
    If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

  • Why are some of my links not opening when I save a document as a pdf?  They are opening in word.

    The links are opening in microsoft word documents but when I save the document to a pdf some of the links are not opening.  The links are containing % or lots of extra numbers.  How can I prevent this from happening?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  How do you convert to PDF?
    You write that "some" of the links don't open; what's the difference with links that do open?

  • Why can't I view ALL my folders when I save a document?

    Here's the skinny. I work with dozens of documents and sub folders every day. When I save a document, the list of locations I am given to choose from is incomplete. I can choose a folder, but not the correct subfolder. Is there a way I can select the correct subfolder (even if its buried under 3 subfolders) easily when I save a document? Right now, I save everything to the desktop and at the end of each day I have to drag every single file to its correct location. Please tell me there is some simple way around this?

    Click the blue button with the triangle on the Save dialog box.

  • I have added the Documents folder to the Dock, however when I save a document it doesn't appear in the Documents folder on the Dock, only the Documents folder in the Finder.  Is this a quirk, so am I doing something wrong?

    I like having my Documents folder on the Dock so I added the Documents folder from the Finder to the Dock.  When I save a document to the Documents folder, the saved document appears in the Documents folder from the Finder and not in the Documents folder on the Dock.  Why is this happening?  And how can I change this?

  • How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

    How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

    The computer is not too old (and neither are you ).   It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
    As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'.   You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42.   Let's see what you can do from there.

  • Prob. with addiational line items when clearing Cust/Vendor

    Hi Experts,
    I've a serious issue with Account Clearing (F-32, F-44, F-03).  SAP generates unwanted additional line items when clearing customer/Vendor or GL accounts.  I've studied almost all the relevant SAP notes but couldn't found the solution of this issue.......   
    Company Code:               Single          1000
    Segments:               Two               1000, 2000
    Document Splitting:                         Active
    Splitting Method:                         0000000012
    Level of Detail;                              Inheritance
    Zero Balance Clearing Account;                    Defined
    Document Splitting Characteristic:                      Profit Center and Segment, both are defined as required characteristics and balance to zero in document splitting.
    Issue:
    1.     T-Code F-32 Creates additional unwanted clearing line items in Customer Subledger/Account
    2.     T-Code F-44  Creates additional unwanted clearing line items in Vendor Subledger/Account.
    3.     T-Code F-03  G/L Account Clearing also creates unwanted additional clearing line items in GL account.
    An immediate help in the above mentioned problem will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Please check the following Scenario.....
    1.  Enter a customer invoice of USD 1000 from FB70.
    2.  Enter a Credit memo of the same customer of USD 1000 from FB70
    In both documents all the information should be same.
    If you look at the customer account in FBL5N, it'll balance to zero, with two open items i.e an invoice and a credit memo of same amount.
    3.  Now clear that customer from F-32.
    The clearing document contains two line items.
    1. Customer Dr. with PK 07 Amount USD 1000
    2. Same customer account is credit with PK 17 Amount USD 1000
    the above two line items are undesired.
    When we analyze the transactions of this customer by FD10N, it shows Dr. during the period USD 2000 and Cr. during the period USD 2000.   Although the actual Dr. amount of Invoice was USD 1000 and Credit amount of Credit memo was USD 1000.
    Due to Account clearing F-32, the system shows high turnover of transactions in the customer account.  Same thing happens with Vendor and GL clearing.........................
    I hope i am able to clear the problem,  please feel free to ask me, if any further details required.
    Regards,

  • In mail, is there a master setting for line spacing when replying?

    When replying to an email, the spacing is very compressed, the reply is only one line above the original message.  Is there a way to tell mail that for all replys, it should increase the line spacing between the reply and the original message?  Thanks.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
