Stretching a box in pages v6

How do I alter the relative dimensions (lebgth and height) of a box in Pages 6. When I drag one of the handles the box retains its proportions. I can see a "constrian proportions" tick box in the inspector but it is grey'ed out

Of course whatever you meant it must have been obvious.
…to you.
There is no Pages 05, anymore than there is a Pages 6. And pure guesswork as to what you think you are referring to.

  • Turn off linking text boxes in Pages

    I find the linking text boxes annoying because I'm always fighting trying to STRETCH a box and Pages wants to add a linking floating text box.
    Does anyone know how to turn off this feature completely, so it never comes back on unless I want it to?
    For a while it was OFF, and then all of a sudden I'm back fighting the linking text box feature when trying to move my text box where I want it.
    Thanks for any suggestions or help!

    Pamela,
    No, I don't believe that you can disable Text Box Linking. Just keep your mouse pointer away from the Link Handles.

  • How to link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

    How do you link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

    Thank you for your help; it is appreciated. I suspected that, but am still disappointed. I am finding myself getting more and more disenchanted with Apple products in the past few years. I've been a faithful fan, user and promoter since the 1980s, but I am starting to seriously doubt their competency in the past few years with the Pages 5 version as well as what iOS7 continues to do to my iPhone (as my prime examples). Instead of enhancing my life and work, Apple is beginning to waste my time -- a lot of it! Perhaps it is time for a change.... I don't want to, but I am starting to look for other alternatives.

  • Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad?

    Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad? I'm trying to set up a document with quick check boxes to tick and a date to choose rather than type? I know it possible to do it on pages on a mac but i haven't been able to find anything on the ipad to create such a thing, and I don't know if it will work on the ipad if I create it on the mac

    RGA,
    Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

    how do I turn off text box in pages?

    Thank you Peter and Jerry.
    Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
    In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
    It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Best, Angela

  • How do I remove text boxes from Pages

    I have an awful time with Pages on my lap top.  I am used to Appleworks  6.2 on my older desktop (PowerMac G4 / OS 10.4.11).  If I specify a US letter page I get that in Appleworks, it  is then 8.1/2" x 11", without running into pre-existing formats or other similar distractions. I can immediately type a neat business letter.
    Not with Pages.  On my MacBookAir, with Pages 4.3 and OS 10.8.4, I can type alright, but when I want to print what I typed, only a small part of what I typed shows up in in Print Preview of my typed page.  After a bit of backtracking,  I notice a blue-lined rectangle on my typed page containing the portion of my typing that appeared in that Print Preview.  It is apparently a self-formed "text box", that was not a part of my blank template page and was not inserted by me while or just before I typed.
    I did not find any way to delete the edges of that text box. The "delete" option under the pull down edit menu is blanked out.  If I click on the "Text box " symbol in the menu bar it does not let me switch off the text box, but instead gives me another text box inside the first one!  I suppose this is to allow user to print only a single keyboard stroke of the entire letter.  The "Inspector" seems to have no options to set text boxes.
    Pages "Help" Menu has nothing of how to delete a text box, or how to prevent it in the first place from screwing up what you have typed in such manner that it becomes unprintable.
    Similarly a small rectangular box formed on both the top and the bottom of each page (which could be a space reserved for a header or footer), but again I do not use these on my business letters, and they appear self-formed by Pages, and I would like to know how to prevent them, or delete them.
    In other words I like to get a blank page to start with, which will only set up and type what "I, THE  USER" enter on my keyboard. 
    Can anybody tell me how to this with Pages? 
    (PS. I can do it with even with Thunderbird !)

    1. Open a blank Word Processing template (they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar), you have opened a Layout template that requires Textboxes for you to type into.
    2. To select a Textbox hold down the command key and click on its edge or lassoo it, then hit delete.
    3. If you don't want Headers or Footers, uncheck them in the Document Inspector
    4. Download the Pages09_UserGUide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with Pages' basics. Also look around your Menus and Inspectors which are laid out logically from left to right from broad to details.
    I suggest you click inside your textbox first go command a and copy the contents before you delete it and then paste that into a new Word Processing template.

  • Linking text boxes in Pages

    I can no longer link text boxes in Mavericks. I have version 10.9.3 installed. It seems like this is a problem that should have/would have been addressed long ago. When I go to Format in Pages, the Add Link is in light grey and it will not let me add the link. Am I missing something....

    You should be posting in the Pages for Mac community for better response.
    The last Pages version that linked text boxes was Pages ’09 v4.3. Pages v5.2 does not have this capability, and only Apple knows when or if they will fix that glaring omission.
    If you had the older mentioned Pages installed before (downgrading) to Pages v5+, it was moved into /Applications/iWork ’09, and remains a functional improvement over Pages v5+.

  • Searching Templates to Print DVD Cover on DVD Boxes From Pages or Keynote.

    i have iWork 06 and i want to print dvd jewel case or commercial boxes
    from Pages or Keynotes , i dont want to use third parthy applications.
    i just need templates i can import in iWork 06 , and work on them.

    I was just looking at a post I made awhile ago on this subject for a response to another post. Here it is adapted for you:
    There are several options for templates you can use in Pages. First, there those submitted by other users & available at iWork Community. Three possibilities for Word templates are Microsoft, Neato & Fellowes
    Most templates for Word will open nicely in Pages. I haven't come across one that doesn't, but that doesn't mean someone else might. The only thing to watch for is the file extension. Some Word templates have an extension other than .doc. You will still be able to use them, just change the extension to .doc in the Finder or Pages won't recognized them as Word files. Of course, you can't change just any file's extension to .doc & have Pages open it. It must be a Word document.

  • How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

    When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

    I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
    Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
    tell application "Pages"
    activate
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "Box 1"
    keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
    keystroke "Box 2"
    keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
    keystroke "Box 3"
    keystroke tab & tab
    -- and so on
    end tell
    end tell
    The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.
