Re Setting up document from scratch using Page Layout Mode

I want to design a page from scratch. However, the column mode is grayed out and the program won't let me create columns. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You need to add a text box first. Then, with the cursor in the text box, you can change the number of columns. Without a text box, there is nothing to apply columns to in a page layout document.

  • I want to set up Firefox sync from scratch using an account I own that shows as "already in use".

    I had a problem with my old Firefox Sync account (from work, using my work email address) and I would like to set up Sync again using my personal account. When I go to try to set up Sync, my only options appear to be "Create a New Account" or "I Have an Account". If I select create a new account, I get stuck because technically the account has already been used (I set up Sync a few years ago using my personal account but never utilized it), even though it is not in use on any of my machines. If I select I have an account, it wants me to sync the device with another, but I don't have another to sync to. I want to use my already existing account to set up Sync from scratch on my main machine. How can I get this done?

    on another note: firefox 29 which is going to be released at the end of the month will use a different account system (not compatible with current sync accounts), so it might not be worth the effort setting up sync with the old credentials now: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again

  • How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my ipad?

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

  • Edit a word document from a JSP page

    hi all,
    i would like to know if it is possible to edit a Word document from a JSP page (without uploading it).
    thanks.

    Technically no. But what you can do is output a word document to the browser with the contenttype "application/msword" and if word is installed it will be opened inside the browser.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and already have it set up, however im trying to put CDs on it from my computer and itunes is trying to get me to set it up from scratch. How do I get round this?

    I have the iPhone 5 and already have it set up, however im trying to put CDs on it from my computer and itunes is trying to get me to set it up from scratch. How do I get round this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • How do I restore the missing documents from my iPad Pages app?s

    All the documents from my iPad Pages app have just disappeared. I do have them on my iMac in the iCloud. How do I restore them to my iPad?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lori

    So, am I understanding you correctly, that I need to remove the Pages app and then reinstall it? How does that restore the documents? They are still showing up in iCloud on my iMac. I want to know how to get them back onto my iPad. Is there anyone who can tell me in a step by step fashion how to do this? And thank you David743 for your attempts.

  • How can I have pages 2 - 12 different from page 1 using Page Layout?

    I am following your suggestion re Page Layout mode.
    I designed text boxes for page 1 but the header for pages 2 - 12 is smaller. This is actually the only difference. But when I attempted to make the text box for the header smaller on page 2, it made the text box header smaller on page 1.
    With the stubling block, I am still using Word Processor and have discovered that some of locked text boxes have disappeared.

    Govan,
    For your newsletter layout, I suggest that you not use "headers and footers" word processor features. Just put a text box on each page where you want header information. This way you will not have to worry about using different sizes on different pages.

  • Can i set margins in page layout mode?

    I have margins set in page layout mode, but they don't seem to really work. I can move text around freely but I'd like to set definite margins so when I align my text boxes left I can align them all at 1 inch.

    The "blue lines" are guides and yes you can. Objects will snap to the lines when you get close to them.
    You can also use the Metrics tab in Inspector palette, and +Menu > >Arrange > Align Objects+ to position text and images.
    Read up more on how to work with Pages in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.

  • How to set Single-Page layout mode in C#

    I have searched through all of the API documents, without success in how to correctly set the PDLayoutMode to SinglePage.
    I am using Acrobat Standard 7.0.9 with the 7.0.5 SDK and Visual Studio C# Express 2005 edition. I have quite successfully interfaced with Acrobat using C#, and have been happily using it for the past 8 months. But, now I need to extend my app to programmatically set the page layout mode. I don't find complete enough documentation to help me get the job done.
    One hint I stumbled upon, was to use the AVAppSetPreferences(), but the docs are wimpy on the correct values for the method's two parameters.
    Anyone have any experience with AxAcroPDFLib, or other OLE methods to set the page layout mode to other than default?
    Regards,
    Dale.

    I would like to propose this as a new IDEA in this forum but again: NOT POSSIBLE. I am not privileged.

  • Page layout mode - margins

    Hi,
    i would like to set fixed margins in page layout mode.
    e.g site layout with inside 1 cm and outside 2 cm.. simple.. - document margins doesn't work in layout mode.
    Rulers are no solution - i don't want to set or change rulers for every site and i can't fix the ruler correct anyway (e.g. only on .83cm and .79cm not on .80.. zooming in doesn't change it)
    thanks for your help-
    greetings
    Chris
    ah.. and.. of course.. help, manual, search function previously in use..

    thanks for your help - maybe i described the problem not exact.. my problem is:
    If you add a box in layout mode (doesn't matter whats inside - text, shapes or images) - you can drag the boxes out of the image, close the page border or with some margin to the border - you can align boxes to each other (horizontal, vertical...)
    But i didn't find a method for aligning all boxes with a certain margin like the document margins in text mode.
    Lets say i have a dozen boxes on a page and a couple of pages and i want to align all of these boxes with 2cm margin to left, top, right and bottom.. like the boxes in given templates.
    Do i have to drag all these boxes manually? - and what happen if i want to change my margin (lets say the printer calls you - it needs some 5mm more margin) - what i am looking for is something to set a certain margin i can align all boxes on and change quickly (.. like in text mode)

  • Inline objects in page layout mode

    Before I drive myself any more insane than I already am can someone please confirm, or otherwise, that it isn't possible to use inline objects in page layout mode or, indeed, inside text boxes in word processing mode? Assuming this is the case can anyone suggest a work around?

    Please don't become insane, there already too many such human beeings
    Here is the way I work (mainly because I don't store my photos in iPhoto).
    drag and drop the picture file onto the doc's page.
    select the picture frame with its square handles
    Cut it so it will no longer appear but is stored in the clipboard.
    Put the cursor where you want to insert the picture then paste.
