Problem with Pages text flow

In a 'Pages' long document the text flow is not consistent despite the settings in the Inspector being identical. On some facing pages the last line does not justify, on others the text refuses to fill large gaps that seem to occur at random.

No Gremlins, just your settings.
Prevent widow and orphans will haul lines over onto subsequent pages leaving gaps where necessary. If you don't want that then uncheck it. You understand what those terms mean?
Language applies to selected text just like bolding, fonts, color etc. If you are copying and pasting material from elsewhere such as the Internet they will have their own langauge or none. The default language is whatever you have set it in System Preferences.
Paragraph Styles will stay what they were in the document or what they were when you pasted them into the document. Use Paste and Match Style if you want it to conform to the style of where you are pasting it.
It is possible for a paragraph of text to have mixed styles due to author's changes. To force apply a style to text, double click it in the Styles Drawer.

Problem with Pages text breaks

Hi guys. As a writer, I'm going to be using Pages on my brand new MacBook Pro 13" (I just switched from Windows) quite a lot, so it really ticks me off that whenever I insert text in a line in a paragraph, the line below it gets separated from the rest of the text instead of simply moving the text on the line I'm editing smoothly into the following lines. How do I fix this?

Sorry Ryan but if that is an example of your writing, whatever it is you are trying to explain may not be the worst of your problems.
I've reread that several times trying to make sense of it.
Are you saying the formatting changes when you paste or you are getting paragraph or line breaks when you paste?
If it is the first, by default now in OSX whatever you paste keeps the formatting of the original text. You can get around that by doing:
+Menu > Edit > Paste and match style (option shift command v)+
The keyboard shortcut may be my own concoction. Check what it says on your menu.
If it is the second, the breaks are in the text you are copying and pasting. Some old fashioned PC applications are notorious for having line breaks at the end of every line, instead of just wrapping text as they go. Places you frequently get this are email, some web pages and forums.
All you can do with the second is clean up the text using Services (available under the application menu).
To see the line breaks or additional paragraph returns:
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles+

Problem with Pages text highlight

I have no idea how what I hit to now make all the text boxes how up as being highlighted in yellow. I have clicked/unclicked everything I know to do, and still it seems to have a default to this yellow text. Can anyone guide me as to how to get my text back to free style without the yellow highlight? Thanks

You selected Comments.
Turn them off.

Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

Hi all,
I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing. I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine. But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen. As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it. I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way. I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for. In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and". Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
Has anyone else seen this problem. It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad. Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out. If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?

Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
…and Pages 5 is buggy.
So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

A problem with copying text from english pdf to a word file

i have a problem with copying text from english pdf to a word file. the english text of pdf turns to be unknown signs when i copy them to word file .
i illustrated what i mean in the picture i attached . note that i have adobe acrobat reader 9 . so please help cause i need to copy text to translate it .

Is this an e-book? Does it allow for copying? It is possible that the pdf file is a scan of a book?

Problem with selecting text in Adobe Reader XI

Hi all, I am encountering a problem with Adobe Reader XI and it is very strange I could not find an alike issue on the internet so I guess I have to submit a question with it.
So here it is, I am using Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2, operating system: Windows 7. I do not know it starts from when but it has the problem with selecting text - to be copied in pdf documents. I ensure that the documents are not scanned documents but word-based documents (or whatever you call it, sorry I cannot think of a proper name for it).
Normally, you will select the text/paragraph you want to copy and the text/paragraph will be highlighted, but the problem in this case that I cannot select the text/paragraph, the blinking pointer (| <-- blinking pointer) will just stays at the same location so I cannot select/highlight anything to be copied. It happens oftenly, not all the time but 90%.
This is very annoying as my work involves very much with copying text from pdf documents, I have to close the pdf file and then open it again so I can select the text but then after the first copying or second (if I am lucky), the problem happens again. For a few text I have to type it myself, for a paragraph I have to close all opening pdf documents and open again so I could select the paragraph to copy. I ran out of my patience for this, it causes trouble and extra time for me just to copying those texts from pdf documents. Does this problem happen to anyone and do you have a solution for this? I would much appreciate if you could help me out, thank you!

Yeah, I totally agree, this is very strange. I have always been using Adobe Reader but this problem only occurred ~three months ago. It must be that some software newly installed I think. But I have no idea.
About your additional question, after selecting the texts and Ctrl + C, the texts are copied and nothing strange happens. It's just that right after I managed to copy the texts, it takes me a while to be able to select the texts again. For your information, I just tested to select the texts and then pressed Ctrl, the problem happened. And then I tried pressing C and then others letters, it all led to the problem.
I guess I have to stick with left-clicked + Copy until I/someone figure the source of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help!

Problem with append += text in Text Field

Hi guys
i have a problem with append text.
I have one array which contain some city names, like CityArea=["NAME 1", "NAME2" ...etc];
Then i have one String and one Text Field.
Using for loop im getting right results. But when im running script again then im getting same text again.
F.ex.
First time:
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
Second time:
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
I have tried to make TextField to and String to Null and delete it, but it's appearing again.. :/
How to avoid this?
Here is script:
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
_CityAreaTF1 = new TextField();
_CityAreaTF1.border = true;
_CityAreaTF1.wordWrap = true;
_CityAreaTF1.multiline = true;
_CityAreaTF1.selectable = false;
_CityAreaTF1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
_CityAreaTF1.name = "CityAreaTF1";
_CityAreaTF1.embedFonts = true;
_CityAreaTF1.htmlText = _CityAreaString1.toUpperCase();

I think i found why.
There was no problem with TextField.
There was a problem with Array. "CityArea"
So each time I executed script it added new string in Array. And that is because i got like:
TextField
City 1
City 2
City 1
City 2
Running this script is Ok:
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
But outside of this for loop there is another for loop for adding Cities in CityArray.
I fixed it by adding empty array at the start of function
function myFunc():void
CityArea = [ ]; // Empty array fixed this issue
// LOOP FOR ADDING SHOPS IN CITY AREA
for (var j:int = 0; j < _Shops; j++)
CityArea.push(_Shop);
// FOR LOOP TO ADDING SHOPS IN STRING
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
Thank you for your help kglad

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents.

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents. I have several
several documents on my homepage,but once I select one it shuts down and
goes to the ipad homepage.Other documents open with no problem.
Can someone tell me what's happening
antdel

Pages is crashing for some reason.
You say that other documents open with no problems, do you mean other Pages documents or documents in another app?
Try closing Pages completely in the recents tray and reboot your iPad. See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you may have to delete and reinstall Pages. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt document that you need to track down and delete.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Problem with Pages 09 after latest Snow Leopard Update

I upgraded Snow Leopard with the latest update this afternoon, and now I am having all sorts of problems with Pages. Most importantly, the Pages templates are all messed up, with formatting all screwed up and the typesetting a mess. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Pages after the update? I may have to revert back to pre-update Snow Leopard if this can't be resolved, since I use Pages for my work. Any assistance here would be appreciated!

You can install the combo over the delta (Software Update version). I did after I inadvertently used Software Update on my MacBook Pro. That's what I get for trying to update 3 Macs at one time.
Here is the link to the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater.

Problem with the text from previous year in current year appraisal (PPR)

Hi Gurus,
I have some problem with the text from the PPR of the previous year in the PPR current year.
The text from the previous year have not the same displaying in the tab "previous year" of the current year PPR.
EXAMPLE :
this is write in the PPR of year 2009 in Individual Targets without Incentives (tab My S-imple) :
-Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der Neuorientierung.
-G1 Unterstüzung
-Fachübergreifende Teamarbeit ausbauen
Gefährdungsbeurteilung weiter führen
-tragen von PSA einfordern
-VI Opt.(Intervalle)

-Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der

-Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
-Aufrechterhaltung der MA motivation, in dieser Zeit der
there is the error, all the end of the text isn't displayed and the begin of the text is repeated.
