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.

Top Margin Woes: Setting the "Before" Margin for Every Page in a Section

Hi,
I've scoured the forums to no avail on this one. I am trying to create a document where the text in Section 1 appears 1 inch from the top of each page and 2 inches from the top of each page in Section 2. Should be pretty straightforward, right? Please tell me it is! I'm using Pages '09 (version 4.0.5).
Right now, the document margin is set to 1 inch from the Top, so Section 1 is fine. For Section 2, when setting the Before margins after a Layout Break (in the Layout Inspector under the Layout tab), only the first page of that section gets a Before margin of 2 inches. Every page after that in Section 2 is still 1 inch from the top.
Suggested Workaround Attempted
I tried the "Move Object to Section Master" workaround, but the menu item "Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master" is disabled when performed on an "inline" object, which is what is required to force the text down from the top of each page in Section 2. Turning it into a "floating" object enables the "Move Object to Section Master" menu item, but since it is floating. the text for that section is not pushed down, the rectangle is just displayed in the background of each page in Section 2.
Any ideas on how to solve my Top margin woes would be much appreciated!

Hello
To push a text down in the text body using the clean way which means setting space after, requires that we have already a paragraph which means a chunk of text ended by a paragraph break.
It's exactly what I do.
Most of the time, we don't put a paragraph break at the end of a header so it's not a paragraph and so, we can't define the space after value.
My tip just gives it the status of paragraph allowing me to define space after the clean way. The dirty one was to insert several returns to adjust the height which I carefully rejected.
It's exactly what we discovered some months ago:
we can't set space before (above) at top of a page because there is no paragraph before (above) in the page.
As far as I know, the "Use Previous Headers and Footers" must always be set correctly. I'm remembering a thread which became huge because the OP can't understand that he had to define these properties correctly to get correct results with his captured pages.
I wish to add that at this time we don't know exactly what the OP want to achieve.
Maybe he want to move down the top of the print area and the header.
You can't do that with your tip.
With mine, I just insert a paragraph break at the beginning of the header.

How do you make the top margin .5" on page 1 and 1.0" on all of the following pages?

I have been a PC user since 1987 and find the iWorks programs far less intuitive than the MS Office products. I have been using a Word doc template, which I customized back in 1990, and all of my client records use this template. So, as I am converting to Apple, I need to find a way to adapt the iWorks Pages to accomodate my doc needs, if that is possible. As indicated in the question, I need to set the top margin on page 1 to .5" and, using either a section break or a page break, enable the top margin to be 1.0" on all of the following pages. I read somewhere on the net that this might be accomplished by using a layout break but, when I tried that, the margins on all pages seemed to still be connected to each other. Is there a way to accomplish my objective?

Okay, narrow is narrow. Just need to make sure we're clear on the point that we're discussing the top and bottom margins.
I just found another post that led me to "Defining Layout Margins" in the Pages help files. Between that post and the information in this help message (specifically item #4), I was able to deduce that Pages does enable me to do exactly what I need.
1 - set the page margins on page one;
2 - create a layout break at the bottom of page 1, which will effect the next page;
3 - with the cursor on page 2, open the inspector;
4 - go to the layout inspector;
5 - change the "before" margin.
In the layout inspector dialog box, "before" = "top" and "after" = "bottom", not as in paragraph or line formatting. I don't know why it couldn't just say top and bottom. That would eliminate a lot of confusion.
This has enabled me to have one top margin on the first page and a different top margin on all other pages. However, as nothing is perfect, this process must be repeated on each page. A little more work but definitely worth the effort, if you need this type of formatting. Better than not at all in other words.
Thanks for your time and help.

Setting a global margin for any documents to print

Hello,
On a Mac running OS X, I have a ruby/java script allowing me to open a Microsoft Word document and print it as a PDF (and extra stuffs, but that's not part of the problem). During the conversion from Word to PDF for most of my documents I get a dialog saying 'A footer of section X is outside of the printable area of the page...'. What I would like to do is not to write a script to click 'yes' when a dialog open but to try to set the default margin for printing to 0. In the 'page setup', there is an option to create customized 'paper size', with a giving width, height and margins (that I can set to 0). By default the paper size is selecting A4, but I would like to find a way to set this paper size as a default to my customized paper size for any document opened on Microsoft Word or printed as PDF! If I select manually the customized paper size after I open the document on Word, I can print it without having the dialog.
So my question is to know if there is a way to set a global margin for printing to 0 (let me know if I need to use Acrobat Pro, Distiller etc.), whatever the way is.
Thank you very much!
Vincent

Alan,
There is nothing specific with the SDK that you have to print a marketing document such as a Sales Order, PO, etc. What you may want to look at in the 2005A SDK is the "PrintEvent" object. This event lets you catch a print event in the SAP Business One application, get the relevant data that is sent to the printer and then edit it using a third-party editing tool such as Crystal Reports. The PrintEvent event provides an exit point that allows you to integrate third-party tools for reporting and document editing.
You can look at the sample code for the PrintEvent here ...

Exporting PDF files on CS5 - hyperlinks to URLs only work for first page

I'm new to InDesign and am working through the "Classroom in a Book" training workbook for CS5, I 've got to lesson 14 and have found that when exporting to PDF (interactive) format, the hyperlink to a URL only work for the first page of the document.
I made my own document with links on multiple pages, and the same thing happened. I followed the lesson to the letter (3 times!)
I also tried setting up individual links for individual pages and that did work, so how do I get one piece of text to link to one URL on multiple pages of a document (ie on a Master page) ???

Thanks Peter, I've actually got CS5.5, so I presume this patch is already updated on this version, because when I tried the 7_0_4 patch it wouldn't run; giving the message: "Some updates failed to install, and "update is not applicable". So I tried the latest update: 7_5_2 patch, but I'm still experiencing the same problems with hyperlinks not working from the Master pages.

Set different authentication mode for OWA (without 2 ip address)

hi
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/fda18a29-a484-4ed5-903b-aa06e8f7a032/set-different-authentication-mode-for-owa?forum=exchangesvrclients
Step 1: IP Address
Obtain a second IP address and add it to the NIC of your server.
Step 2: DNS
Add a DNS entry for That secondary IP address for the name we will want to use in the new FBA OWA Web site. I have chosen "testwebmail." Be sure there is a valid SSL certificate (recommended to have UC or SAN SSL certs) on the server Which has the
new name "testwebmail" that will be used in the certificate.
Step 3: New Web Site
Create a new web site in IIS on the Client Access Server and bind it to the new IP address used in step 1.
Step 4: Adding Exchange Virtual Directories
The web site has been created and bound to the secondary IP address of our server. Also the DNS record That will be used to access the OWA FBA new page was added to DNS. The next step is to go into EMS and begin adding our virtual directories for OWA and ECP.
Login to the Exchange server and open the Exchange Management Shell. Then run Get-Get-OWAVirtualDirectory and ECPVirtualDirectory to see the default OWA and ECP directories.
New-OWAVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName FBA -InternalUrl https://url/owa
New-ECPVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName FBA -InternalUrl https://url/ecp
Step 5: Configure the Virtual Directories
To configure the virtual directories we will disable FBA on the Default Web Site OWA and ECP virtual directories
New-OWAVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName "FBA"
Enable the Basic authentication via running the following command:
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "yourservername\owa (FBA)" -BasicAuthentication $true
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "OWA (Default Web Site)" -WindowsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $false -FormsBasedAuthentication $true
Step 6: iisreset
I want to set this settings; but I don't have 2 ip address and I want to set whit one ip address.
can please tell me how can set this settings with one ip address?
and please tell me about publishing whit tmg.
thanks

Hi,
Based on my research on Host Header, it seems using Host Header can achive your goal.
More details on Host Headers:
1. Host headers let you assign more than one site to a
single IP address on a Web server.
2. To host more than one Web site on a Web server, you can assign a unique IP address to each Web site, designate a non-standard TCP port number for a Web site,
or use host headers. Of the three methods, it is more common to use host headers than to assign unique IP addresses to Web sites or to use non-standard TCP port numbers.
Configure a Host Header for a Web Site (IIS 7)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753195(v=ws.10).aspx
Please correct me if there is anything misunderstand.
However, Microsoft recommends creating the second OWA/ECP virtual directories in a new IIS web site with a different IP address, and using it for internal client access.
Thanks

Remove margins for 2 page per sheet printing

Hi I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of the margins for 2 page printing on a single sheet. I'm using Adobe Reader X and it creates a 1-2 inch border around my entire document when I try to print two pages into one.

Try the Reader forum.

How can i set the page margin to be a different width on the first page than the rest in Pages?

I am creating an ebook where I want the first page to be the cover, but don't want to have a margin round the edge. However the remaining pages I want a margin so the text looks good (as I am also exporting this as a PDF) Is there any way to do this in pages?

Your question was asked and answered in the late two days by Fruhulda and PeterBreis !

I need a 3-inch top margin on the first page of my letter and a 1-inch top margin on subsequent pages. How can I do this?

This is so easy in Word but I have spent 2 hours trying to figure it out in Pages. To print on my boss' stationary I need a 3-inch margin on the first page and a 1-inch top margin on the subsequent pages. When I change the top margin on page 2 in Inspector, it changes the top margin on page 1 to 1-inch as well. In Word this is an intuitive, 2-step process.

Hi Dan,
Don't confuse "intuitive" with "what I'm used to."
Pages has "Document" margins, which apply to all pages of the document, and "Layout" margins, which may be set to provide additional margin space in a layout.
Start by setting the Document margins to 1" all around. This is the default setting for the (word processor) Blank templates. You can check it (and adjust it if necessary) in the Inspector. Open an Inspector window (View > Show Inspector). Choose the Document Inspector (first button).
Switch to the Layout Inspector (second button). Remember that you already have a 1 inch top margin, so to produce a 3 inch margin before the beginning of this layout, you'll need to set a 2 inch Layout margin "Before" the layout.
Hmmm... Depending what you're defining as 'steps' for the process in word, and considering that the document margins in Numbers are preset to 1" all around, this appears to be a 1-step process in Numbers:
Step 1: Set the "Before" Layout margin to 2 inches.
Done.
Regards,
Barry

Master page for first page of chapter?

I want to make sure I am using the right approach.
I have a 150 page book with 12 chapters. Most of the pages in the book have page number and running heads with the chapter name at the top of the page. That is working OK. For the 12 pages that start a chapter, I don't want the running head at the top - only the page number appears at the bottom of the page.
Master pages, right? I started with all pages as "A" pages and then assigned the 12 pages for the beginning of the chapter to be "B" pages. Looks great.
But then the project manager comes along and asks me to try the book in 12 point instead of 11 point. I edit a few paragraph styles. Everything repaginates, and now I have to find the 12 places where a chapter starts, change it from "A" to "B" master page, then find the old 12 pages that previously started a chapter and change them from "B" back to "A".
Every time he freaking changes his mind, I am fixing 24 pages (OK - 22 pages, since the first page stays in place). Am I missing something really obvious - is there a way to say "Every time there is a Chapter Title paragraph style, that page should be assigned "B" Master Style?". I realize I could use an INDB with 12 INDD files inside, but that seems like overkill for a small book.
Thanks in advance,

I think there are some scripts floating around here onthe forum that will assigne a master based on the paragraph style, but my personal approach is to break the document into individual stories (not different docs, just different text threads, for each story) for each chapter. If you do that, any editing effects will be confined to the last page in each chapter.

Fixed Top Margin for Web Report

Report generated with Htmlcss, we had setup the Top Margin of Page to 0.5
First Page Top Margin is 0.5 but the second page takes the Top Margin more than 0.5 (could be 1").
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA

Are you sure that you set the bottom margin to be 0. Assuming you aren't using page streaming, the gap between the pages is the sum of the top and bottom margins.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Display different header in the first page

I am displaying a table in the header (not an MS word header but header identified as something above <?start:body?> tag) of an rtf template. That table has 3 rows, I need to display one of those rows only in the first page and not in other pages.
I did not find any method on querying for the page number. So, I used a flag in the following manner: (Here, text with red color denotes RTF field). The following is what my RTF file looks like:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
init_field
This is the row to be shown on all the pages
if_field
This row should only be shown on the first page.
end_if change_variable
<?start:body?>
other stuff
<?end body?>
Where,
init_field
<?if: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG')!='NONFIRST')?><?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG','FIRST')?><?end if?>
if_field
<?if: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG'))='FIRST'?>
end_if
<?end if?>
change_variable
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG','NONFIRST')?>
BUT, I still see all the rows in all the pages. It seems like the value of variable 'FLAG' is not preserved between different pages. To me, it seems like, header is generated once and same header is used in all the pages

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but why not just place the second line that needs to be on the first page only after the <?start:body?>
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
init_field
This is the row to be shown on all the pages
<?start:body?>
if_field
This row should only be shown on the first page.
end_if change_variable
other stuff
<?end body?>

Setting up Designer Margins for Printing

Good Afternoon,
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I continually find that my form pages are outside of the normal print margins for a standard 8.5in x 11in paper. So far the only solution I have found is to select "Pagearea1" underneath "Master Page" and change the 'Paper Type' to 'Letter'. This seems to set the correct page width/height, but I have a concern about margins, I want to be sure the form always prints correctly regardless of the users printer settings. Is there a way to also set a margin? Also, is there a better way to do this or is the method I described the correct way?

Ya make sure that whatever paper you're using to print is the same size as that of your MasterPage.
Also, you'll notice when creating a form from scratch, Designer creates a Content Area for which all objects can't be outside of. For my version of Designer the content area is half an inch smaller than the page area on every side. That creates padding for the purpose of printing and general aesthetics. You can always change the size from the Master Pages view.
If you want to force the printer to always print inside its margins, you can create a button the user presses to print with the following code in the click event (JavaScript):
var MyDoc = event.target;
var pp = MyDoc.getPrintParams();
var fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags |= (fv.setPageSize);
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.shrink;
MyDoc.print(pp);

Web pages come out tiny, I must use control + to view every page. How can I set a defult size for every page I vivit?

After upgrading to 3.6 all the web pages come out tiny. The text and the pictures. I must use the Ctrl + in order to make the web page fill my screen. What do I have to do to set a default size for every web site I visit?

■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings
* '''Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages'''
■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884 this thread] which also discusses related matters.
■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi
