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.

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
    REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    In Elements 13, how do I turn off default setting that sends my usage info to Adobe?
    Vendors of proprietary software want to track everything you do.  Adobe says that it is possible to turn off sending info to them, but doesn't include any info on how to do it.

    Go to the main page of adobe.com and sign in if you aren't already signed in, then click Manage Account>Sign In again>Security & Privacy>Desktop App Usage Information.

  • How do I turn off text box in pages?

    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

  • Show my caller id button turns off after setting att

    show my caller id button turns off after setting at&t, any help

    Hi,  try this method, it works for me on an iphone4 & 4S (iOS7)
    make sure you have all apps closed before next steps.
    -Go to Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID. (if button is Greyed Out)
    -Pull down Control Centre & Turn On Airplane Mode & return to Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now slide your screen from right to left taking you to another screen, then slide back to your Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now You Can turn ON or OFF your Caller ID Button.
    -Lastly slide down you Control Centre again and Turn OFF your Airplane Mode.
    Thats it Job done.
    Please note, it will now stay in the mode that you have chosen(ON or OFF) even if you respring or reboot your phone. But if you return back to
    Show My Caller ID screen, then you SIM Provider will automatically Disable your Caller ID screen BUTTON once again. So just repeat the steps
    above and your be fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I turn off the setting that puts a box over everything and won't let me swipe or tap?

    How do I turn off the setting that puts a box over everything and won't let me swipe or tap?
    Please answer if you can! It's a new ipod, and I would hate to have to throw it away a few days after purchase.

    You might have voice over enabled. Connect to iTunes and disable voice over under configure universal access.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a way you can give us the option to turn off sound except the page we are actively viewing?

    As advertising is becoming more and more prevalent and is being allowed to automatically start running on a page we need a way to either prevent that or at the very least turn an option to off any sound that is coming from each individual page/tab that we have up but is not the currently viewed page. A group option would not work because of things like Pandora so it would have to be on a tab by tab basis or like popups on a browser basis with exceptions (although that could lead to a lot of exceptions). It seems that I am watching something and on another tab an advertisement will auto start and drown out what I was watching. Then I have to go and locate the page - sometimes difficult if you have a bunch of tabs open at one time like I normally do - and turn off the ad or mute the ad... something along those lines. So figure out how to kill the ads.

    You can use click-to-play and set the plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page.

  • Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

    In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
    When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor.  Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box?  It is driving me bonkers.

    Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

  • How do i turn off cc? settings page shows it is off, but it shows up on abc, usa, and other playbacks. buttons for cc in each app do nothing

    How do I turn off cc? I'm not hearing-impaired and did not turn it on. Settings page shows it is not turned on, but when watching ABC, USA etc., its there and the buttons within each app to remove it do nothing.

    Yes, the captions themselves. Last evening I pulled up an ABC program from the ABC app (not ABC.com), and captions were on. I went to settings page and again turned on then off the captioning option. When I went back to my program, captions were still on but the cc button actually brought up dialog to turn them off. Some possible difference between iPad interpretation of cc data and that of the app for the broadcaster? Was never able to get rid of it Sunday on a USA replay.

  • Can I turn off the setting to "erase iPad" if I find my lost iPad?

    I lost my iPad a few weeks ago, and since the battery was dead, I couldn't find it using "Find my iPhone."  I was concerned that it could have been left somewhere in public, so I set it to erase the iPad upon connection to the internet.  Now I found the iPad last night.  Can I turn off the "erase iPad" setting in Find my iPhone?  It doesn't seem to allow this (I assume for some security reason, but I need to use my apple id to get into

    Normally I would say no, but one user reported success with the procedure outlined in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076422?start=0&tstart=0.  Can't confirm if this actually worked but it may be worth a try.

  • How to turn off automatic numbering in Pages

    I recently had a problem getting rid of automatic numbering within Pages.
    I keyed in a numbered heading (eg, "1. H1") and then hit return, when it gave me another numbered heading ("2. H2") on the next line, which I didn't want.
    The easiest way to get round this is to hit the return key on the automatically numbered line (eg, "2. H2"), which removes the "2" and puts you to the start of the line. This seems to tell Pages that you don't want automatic numbering, at least for the time being. Perhaps until you key another numbered heading...
    To turn off automatic numbering on an individual line you can press the "i" button at the top and select "None". That will remove the number.

    The View menu does what it says:
    Menu > View > Hide Invisibles
    Peter
    btw You turned it on when you hit command shift i, do it again and it turns it off.
