TOC problem in pages

Hello friends,
I just purchased the iWork 08 package because i just want to avoid MS office. Hence, when i tried to open my thesis in word format, the pages seems cannot recognise most of the tables, text boxes, and most importantly the table of content and it says the inspector cannot recognize the heading formats in the word documrnt. Is it mean that I need to redefine all the headings and sub-headings int he document in order to use the TOC function in pages 08?
I tried to open a test document in pages 08, then type something and define some lines as headins, follow the instruction to open the inspector and select desired heading levels for the TOC, hence in the sections button of the format bar, it does not have any option to create a TOC as described in the tutorial from Apple, instead it has only two options, a blank page or a text page, is it anything wrong with the pages 08? what is the correct way to create a TOC in pages and to import one from my old Word documents?
Please help...
Tony.

Colin,
One of the first comments I made in this discussion group an hour after purchasing iWork '08 was my confusion about the difference between the two modes. After using it for months now, I've come to the conclusion that it's a response to the insanely huge amount of tech support calls they must have gotten from people wanting to know why they couldn't drag and move objects in Pages 2. Apple must have gotten tired of explaining to people the difference between Fixed On Page (now called Floating) and Moves With Text (now called Inline). My guess is that it was easier for Apple to add a Page Layout mode in which all objects are defined as Floating, since Inline objects can only appear on a text layer. Apple simply chose to remove the text layer, thus eliminating Inline objects that can't be dragged, thus eliminating 90 percent of their tech-support calls. Truthfully, I preferred the old way, but then I'm on this discussion group every day and have the opportunity to learn little proactive tricks like clicking in the gray margin area to make the cursor disappear, then inserting an object. Or REactive tricks like selecting the object, then going to the Wrap inspector to change it from Inline to Floating. These are things that aren't very intuitive to new users, and I can understand their confusion. Apparently, Apple can, too.

  • Page numbers displayed incorrectly in TOC in new Pages - does anybody know how to fix this?

    I'm working on a multi-section document with a single TOC for two sections. Section one uses lowercase roman numerals (i, ii,...) and section two arabic numerals (1, 2, ...). The page numbers are displayed correctly on the pages themselves, but in the TOC the first two headings from section two (pages 1 und 3) are displayed as "i" and "iii". This only started after the update to pages 5, everything was fine before that. Does anybody know how to fix this? I already tried deleting the TOC and inserting a new one and changing the numbers to uppercase letters and back, to no avail.
    thanks for any input

    Go back to Pages '09 inside the iWork Folder inside Applications.
    There are so many problems with Pages 5 it is difficult to know where to begin.

  • TOC problems after RH5 - RH7 upgrade

    Hello,
    I use RoboHTML to create help projects.
    After upgrading one with several subprojects from RH5 to RH7
    the following problem occurs:
    the TOC of the subproject is not incorporated in the main
    TOC, instead the name of the subproject is shown. when clicking
    this, the subproject is opened in a new tab (tested on Firefix3 and
    Opera9.5), virtualy as a separate project.
    The same project was previously published with RH5, with the
    subprojects correctly linked.
    Also, I reveive the attached java error (again not existing
    with RH5) when opening the start page. if I substitute the newly
    generated WebHelp.jar with the old one (generated by RH5) the error
    ceases but the TOC problem persists.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot,
    Norbert

    I recently tested the 9.0.1 upgrade and the hotfix for 9.0.1, but the problem still exists. However, "ColdFusion Jedi" Raymond Camden came up with a workaround. You can read about it here:
    http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/9/16/Followup-to-CFGRID-MultiRow-Post
    The problem occurred when the Adobe team that released the 9.0.1 upgrade added "multi-row select" functionality to the HTML/AJAX version of CFGRID, but they failed to include the same ID-passing functionality of the previous "single-row select" implementation.
    I created a more generic version of Raymond's javascript function which finds the selected row(s). This javascript must reside on every page which contains an HTML cfgrid:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function getSelected(gridName,idName) {
        obj = ColdFusion.Grid.getSelectedRows(gridName);
        var selected = "";
        for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
          if(selected == "") selected = obj[i][idName];
          else selected += "," + obj[i][idName];
        document.getElementById('selectedRowIDs').value = selected;
        return true;
    </script>
    To force the selected row's ID (or other) field to be passed to to the subsequent page, you must include the following in your CFFORM tag (the field name MUST BE in ALL CAPS):
         onSubmit="return getSelected('gridName','FIELDNAME')"
    Example: <cfform name="itemGridForm" action="editItems.cfm" method="post" onSubmit="return getSelected('itemGrid','ITEMID')"...>
    You must also include the following hidden field in your cfform which contains the cfgrid:
        <!---Pass the selected FileFolderID as a hidden field called "selectedRowIDs" to itemEdit page--->
         <cfinput type="hidden" name="selectedRowIDs" id="selectedRowIDs">
    On the called page, FORM.selectedRowIDs will contain a list of the selected rows' ID fields (or whichever field you choose when calling the Javascript function).

  • TOC Problem: Leader Lines disappeared after I've changed the font

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem with Pages (I use the version in iWork 08). I am currently writing on my dissertation. I have used Helvetica while typing because it reads better on the screen. However, after changing the font to Georgia (for the final printout), my TOC got all messed up.
    First, I had beautiful leader lines that looked like this:
    Heading one ................. [page number]
    This was the default option. I did not change a thing. Then, after changing the font and the margins of the document, the leader lines disappeared and I could not get them back, even after setting them manually. Right now the entries look like this:
    Heading one [page number]
    ...which is very ugly.
    Any help is highly appreciated. I do not want to hand in the paper like this. (Also, switching the font back to Helvetica did not bring back the leader lines. This seems to be a strange bug in Pages.)

    Sounds to me as if the tab that the leader lines were attached to have been lost in your changed style, or have popped off the right hand margin. Leaders go with the tab which should be holding the right hand text in place. No tab, no leader.
    I have noticed a bug with tabs in Pages where if you have multiple tabs that should fit within a given space, the last one may not register and falls over to the next line.

  • TOC on a page

    I wonder if there is way of creating a TOC on a page.
    Would be great to just insert a TOC on one page listing all names of Sections, does anyone have any idea on how this could be done with automatically putting in the sections in the correct sequence?

    There could be a problem with the page itself. Let's try this first;
    *1
    Load the web page. (While you are at it, please post the link)
    After the page is loaded, hold down the <Shift> and reload the page.
    Does this help?
    *2
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History#w_how-do-i-remove-a-single-website-from-my-history Remove History For One Site]'''
    Open the History Manager '''<Control><Shift> H.'''
    In the search bar, enter the name of the site.
    Right click on one of the listings and select '''Forget About This Site.'''
    This should remove all information, including any password.
    Then try again. Let us know how you are doing.

  • 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 &amp; 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?

  • I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

    I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

    When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    And how much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
    Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

  • Problem with page numbering in Acrobat XI Pro

    Hello community,
    I got a problem with page numbering with certain documents in Acrobat XI Pro.
    The next error comes up:
    Translated in English:
    There is an error occured when getting up of page-content.
    This is occured with certain pdf-documents (i cannot uploading this file).
    Is someone have similar problem, or has someone hev a sollution for this?
    Greetings,
    Bart

    This usually means the file is corrupt, probably because it was not created
    using a standard application like Adobe Acrobat.

  • Is there TOC feature in Pages for iPad?

    Is there TOC feature in Pages for iPad?

    I think it not an unreasonable feature request for a word prcessor. I feel that in scaling pages down to the iPad Apple has also made the product a little less attractive for professional usage. For example pages for iPad really should preserve Endnotes created elsewhere, but it does not at present. A shame, but we can hope that in subsequent versions of pages for iPad that support or preservation of advanced word processing features is introduced.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with Pages update

    Has anyone had a problem opening pages documents and it telling you that you need to update to the new pages but you already have? 

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • 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.
