Trying to save default new document window location.

When you open up a new document (not from a template) it opens up (at least on my computer) in the upper left corner of the screen.
I would -- like -- it to open when I want it to open (bottom middle and smaller window).
What I do in other programs is open up the new document, position and size the window, then save it as a new template and set that template as the default document when opening a new document.
It isn't saving the window position. Any ideas?

After all the complaining many of us did about Pages 1 & 2 tiling new documents, they now open in the upper left if there are no other documents open. I agree, that when you set up a template, you expect new documents from it to open exactly as you saved the template. You need to leave feedback for the Pages team as ask for this. I ask not only for window position, but also window size. Every template of mine open to just one page even though most of mine are more than one page.

  • Pages freeze everytime trying to save a new document.

    Which version of Pages ?

    What if you use it from an other User Account ?
    Oops, I forgot, are you using a registered version or the trial one for more than 30 days ?

  • Trying to save a new document and then "The file "lyrics project.pages-tef" couldn't be opened."

    As the title says...  Open Pages, Create new document, click Save, the dialog box comes up, I give it a name and select the Desktop as the destination, click OK, the dialog box disappears for about a second and then I get the above message.
    No way to save the doc.  I even copied the text, opened another new document, Renamed it and tried to save and same results.  It's a very simple document saved in Pages format, without involving iCloud so it should be as easy as it gets.  On top of that, I just want to Save.  Why is it trying to Open something???
    I ended up having to copy the text into an email and sending it to myself in order to copy it into a SimpleText file.
    Any ideas on what might have been going wrong?
    MacBook Pro 13, OSX 10.8.2, current version of Pages.
    Thanks much.

    That is the iCloud version of the document as I understand it. There is a version saved on the Net for iCloud to be shared and a local version on your hard drive. One of those is currently inaccessible.

  • TextEdit new document window starts off screen

    In TextEdit, if I create a new document, the window stretches off the bottom of the screen. The bounds of the window are {133, 53, 760, 882}. This behaviour takes place when the preference setting 'Wrap to page' is checked. If I create a second new document window while the first is still open, it fits within the screen at {154, 22, 781, 851} (it moves up to the right by 21 pixels). How can I get the first document to start within the screen's real estate?
    If it is unchecked, the co-ordinates of the upper left corner of the new window are {133, 53}. The size of the window depends upon the font size. Note that the upper left corner also remains the same if I change paper sizes.
    I have deleted the preferences but nothing has changed.
    Does anyone know how to control the size and location of a new document window, with the 'wrap' feature checked?
    Thanks.

    On my machines, wrap to page is enabled and I have window size set to 80x70 which works for me for years.

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

    I'm afraid that your choice if names is the problem. Try "RoomSched2X", or similar, and let us know how it goes. If that works you can try some other names of your own choosing.

  • Don't want column width in new document window

    Suddenly, and I can't determine why, my InDesign CS2 has started putting column width as an option in the New Document window. It didn't used to do that. I don't want that to be there. Anyone have any suggestions?

    You must have some sort of plugin installed from a third party

  • By default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?

    by default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?
    Tell me for Dw MX2004 & CS4 ?
    If I start with Transitional 1.0 XHTML and want to change to Strict 1.0 XHTML the only way is modify code or make a new doc ?

    Using CS4, there are a few ways to do it:
    1.  when creating a new document - you can select the doc type preference.
    2.  In your preferences, you can set up which document type will be opened when you select a new document.
    3.  If you start with one doctype and want to convert it to another use:

  • Missing New Document Window when opening new document, along with other menu items: Object style, effects panel, etc.

    I am missing many elements, it seems in my InDesign program.  How can this be?  I am taking a course at the local college (inDesign CS6), and when going through the book and steps, I keep noticing that I am missing things.  For example:  When I open a New Document - no new document window shows up on my screen, and there is no way to change the page size, etc that shows up. 2.) There is no Object Styles panel - Window>Styles>Object Styles - but the Object Styles option doesn't exist.  3.) There is no Effects panel to be found, either. As I continue the course, more and more things keep showing up like this.  What is going on?  I am not doing something wrong; my instructor verified that indeed these things seem to be missing.  I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium disk for Windows OS.  Please help!
    I did have trouble installing the disk, but thanks to someone in the forum, I was able to drag everything to the desktop and it installed that way.  Could that be why this is happening?

    The Knowledge Base plugin is not required, but the Master Page is, so there's definitely an install problem. Go back to Help, and hold down the Ctrl key while you click on About InDesign. What is the full version number in the upper left of the dialog that appears?
    Also, go to Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager and download and install the latest version of the CS6 extension manager.

  • Prompting to save as new document when trying to save over existing document

    I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm having a problem with saving changes to PDFs. If, for example, I sign or insert pages into a PDF and attempt to save those changes (mind you these are documents which I have already created and saved locally), I receive a warning that the document name is taken (which of course it is because I am trying to save changes to an existing document) and that I must select a new one in order to save. Essentially, I am being forced to Save As when all I want to do is Save. Does anyone have any idea why thsi might be happening?

    Thank you very much for your responses. The final post on the forum at the link you provided explains the issue. It appears to be some sort of conflict with the Windows Explorer document previewer that is causing this. Whenever I am previewing the document I am working with in the Explorer, I cannot save changes. As soon as I preview a different document, the changes can be saved without any problems. In the interest of providing further information so that a more permanent solution can be found, I am running Windows 7 and have had this problem with Acrobat 9 and X. Files are being saved locally. Unfortunately, I do not have the savvy to tell you what kind of server.

  • New browser window location

    Is it possible to determine where a new browser window created by a behavior will open?

    The developer of a website (better: an HTML document) can control the size and location of a popup window.
    But you seem to want to control the position of a new window (as in Apple-n) as a user. I'm fairly sure this is impossible without changing the sourcecode of Safari, but what about tabbed browsing?
    Go to Safari > Preferences > Tabs to find out more
    Holding down the Apple key (or Shift + Apple, but you can change this in the preferences) while clicking a link opens this link in a new tab in the same window. Obviously, the window itself doesn't change size or position.
    This should help you, unless you want to open a new window in a specific position, controlled by you. In that case, I reckon you would have to find a fairly advanced programmer who can change your copy of Safari.

  • [CS4] Default new document profile

    Now here's a strange thing. I installed AI 14 on my laptop and set up a new
    Document Profile exactly as I had done on the G5. On the G5 when I request a
    new document it defaults to "Custom" albeit with the settings I had
    specified. On the laptop it defaults to my named New Document Profile. So why
    is the Profile name not displaying on the G5? Mystery. In a minute someone's
    going to advise me to trash the preferences!
