Setting different pages widths in different sections - Pages 5.2

In Pages 5.2, how does one set different page widths (margins) in different sections?

You can't. Margins apply to the entire document.
What you can do is set the margins to their max width and then use left and right indents for the sections you want narrower.

Setting different top margin for first page

I have been trying to set a 5cm top margin for the first page of a thesis chapter and a 2.5 cm top margin for the rest of the pages to conform to requirements. I have set a section break and gone into Inspector to make first page different but I still get any margin changes on the first page through the whole document. I do what HELP says but it isn't working. Anyone help me out before I go troppo?

The easiest way to do this, especially if all the text ina particular chapter is in the same section, is to just set the 'before' value in the Layout Inspector. As text flows from one page to the next, it will conform to the global setting. If you insert a Section Break, the new section will start on a new page and the first line will be down the same amount as your initial chapter page. If you insert a layout break it will also be moved down that initial amount.
If you want to capture this behavior you can capture multiple pages to use as well. Some of the preset templates have multiple pages where the first page has different characteristics than the subsequent pages added when oyur text overflows from the first page.

Am creating document with Pages. pages are in "portrait" orientation, but two charts at end need to be "landscape". changing the orientation for one section changes it for entire doc. can i have different orientations in Pages for different sections?

am creating a document with Pages. all pages using "portrait" orientation, except 2 appendices need to be in "landscape". in Word for Windows it is possible to have different page orientations for different sections of a document. is that possible with Pages. Even when i put the appendices in a different section, changing the page orientation changes it for the entire doc.

Make a separate document the size and orientation you want.
Turn that into a pdf and add it back into the original Pages document or into the pdf from from that document.

How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

Would crtl+f work or is there another way to search or quickly hyperlink to different sections on the page?

We have a very long extended data tab full of custom sections and we would like to be able to give a user a way to search the page quickly.
Would crtl+f work or is there another way to search or quickly hyperlink to different sections on the page?

I don't know enough about your use case to provide specific direction but you may be able to use the 6.1.1 UI extensibility point. For example, you could add an anchor link collection control that scrolls the page to the top of each section when selected.

Hyperlinks directed to different section of same page?

Is this possible in iWeb? What I want is to have a menu bar at the top of one of my pages that links to different sections of the same page since its a really long page. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There is a way using HTML snippets. See Peter Berglund's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9044022#9044022 and then go to his blog for more info.
I've used it in the Contents page for my demo sites. The links in green are to "anchors" on the pages indicated.
The hyperlink would be http://web.me.com/MMeAccount_Name/Site_Name/PageName#widgetX with X being the number of the widget just above the area you want to direct to. You'll have to publish the page and the change the X until you get the location you want (particularly if you have more than one widget on a page). The widgets are numbered in the order they were created.

Turning off Sections setting in Pages '09

Is there any way to remove the Sections setting in pages 09? I'm creating a document, and no "sections" are required. When it groups pages together, and adds extra blank ones, it becomes quite a hassle. Any ideas as to how this feature can be turned off for the duration of the project?

Hi almatarazzo
Welcome to the forum.
There are 2 modes in Pages:
*Word Processing* where pages run from one to the other and text flows automatically from one to the next.
Layout mode where every page is separate and you must create textboxes to put text in and to link them if you want text flow. In effect every page is a section of its own.
If you are having extra blank pages it is probably because you have text wrap on images and/or you hammering away at the return key to position text and have some stray returns spilling over at the end of your page.
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles/Layout+ to see what is spilling over and to delete them.

Fix bug SDK-17734 Path with width and height set different than path data has incorrect bounds
Fix: When calculating the bounds position we should take into account the implicit scaling factor actualSize/naturalSize. Also did some refactoring, getting rid of the protected method calculateTopLeft.

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

Two different sets of sliders in the Basic section of Develop

When different set of pictures are developed I see 2 different sets of sliders in the Tone section of the Basic panel. When editing pictures from last year and before, I see 6 sliders: Exposure; Recovery; Fill Light; Blacks; Brightness and Contrast. These shots were all taken with a Nikon D60, Nikon lenses and saved in RAW (Nikon's NEF) and JPEG. With pictures taken recently, I only see 2 sliders: Exposure and Contrast. One difference is that the pictures were only saved in RAW (NEF). Both sets of pictures were taken with the same camera and lenses using the same Lightroom workflow to import. Both sets of pictures were imported into Lightroom using Lightroom' Import but not converted to DNGs. Some of the older pictures were imported using Lightroom 4 and then upgraded to Lightroom 5. Current version of Lightroom is 5.3 with Windows 7.

The slider set Exposure; Recovery; Fill Light; Blacks; Brightness and Contrast was the UI for Processing Version (PV) 2003 used in LR1 and LR2 and for PV 2010 in LR3. LR4 and LR5 use PV 2012 whose UI in Basic is Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks. The PV can be changed in the Calibration panel. The way tonality is managed in PV 2012 is quite different from the earlier versions.

Best way to set up a movie with many different sections

Hi - i am making a flash demo and have a bunch of different sections / categories that the movie will need to navigate to. I created a similar demo previously and used different "scenes" to keep track and organize the different categories. Should i keep using scenes to navigate to or is there a better, more professional way to do my movie?
Also, where could i find more information on properly organizing and setting up my flash files? ie: naming conventions, etc.
thanks!
- Pat

There isn't really a definitive answer as to how one should set up a file, though a frequent recommendation is to avoid the use of scenes if you plan to incorporate navigation between different sections. While the concept of arranging separate sections as scenes is good, in reality, scenes can be problematic when it comes to implementing navigation into them.
Sometimes the set up choice is best decided based on how much content is involved and how that content is to be accessed (web versus pc presentation). If there is potential for some heavy file size, it may be better to create different sections as separate swf files and load them dynamically.
If you want to have the whole thing within one file, then you can use the one main timeline, dividing it into sections, using labels to navigate to them, or you could create it all in one frame and use visibility to control what anyone is seeing at any time. The latter of those two is handy if you have sections that need to retain information/settings in the event returning to them is necessary... if you just make them invisible, then they retain whatever state they were in.
And you can combine the various approaches if there is any utility in doing so. It really boils down to doing what you reason to be suitable for the job, and sometimes it even boils down to what approach you are most comfortable following... design efficiency is not necessarily always a driving factor is getting results.
As for conventions, you might try searching Google using the terms you think best identify what you are after. You might be able to find some beginner level tutorials that will go into some detail regarding coding conventions and whatnot.

Different margins in different sections

Is it possible in Pages (iWork '09) to set different margins for different sections? If so, how?

D,
You must first set the Document Margins in the Document Inspector, Document Tab, Document Margins area. This setting is the narrowest margin that you intend to use anywhere in the document.
Then when you add a Layout Break, go to the Layout Inspector, Layout Tab, Layout Margins area and add more margin width with the settings there.
The Document Margins dictate the maximum text width (smallest margins) anywhere in the document. The Layout Margins further narrow the text area on a per-layout-region basis.

How can i set different number of iterations for different scenario profiles that we add to "AutoPilot" in load testing of OATS

Hi,
I have few set of load test scenarios, I would like to add each of these test scenarios to "AutoPilot" and run each different scenario profile at different number of iterations.
As in Oracle Load Testing the "Set Up AutoPilot" tab I see a section like this "Iterations played by each user: ", which says run these many iterations for every virtual user of all profile added under "Submitted Profile Scenario". So is there any thing like that to set different iterations for every scenario profile added in Autopilot.
Thanks in advance
