Vertical Ruler in Pages '13

Did pages '13 do away with the vertical ruler?  I need it!

Yes, it's gone.
A suggestion (which I've done): create a new Pages document and insert an image of a ruler, so that it's positioned down the left hand side. Start off with a screen "selection" grab of the Pages ruler from an A3 landscape doc and rotate it 90 degrees in Preview (save it as a png). Insert into the Pages doc and set in "Arrange" to stay on page, and the height to 29.7mm (US page sizes will need something different).
You then have this document open behind the one you're working on, slightly to the left to show the ruler, and with the window wider than the front one, in case you need to scroll down.
If this ruler image is the same size (scale) as the Pages one, the relative size should stay correct if you zoom both documents to the same %.
An alternative would be to include the ruler image in your actual document and delete it before printing (but Pages did not insert it at the right size, so this would have to set each time).
I create a lot of documents which are printed "two up", and need to know where halfway down the page is, to insert a section break, so the loss of the vertical ruler is rather annoying.

  • What happened to the vertical ruler? It's such an important function is a page layout system.

    There is soo much I like akbout the new Pages software, but I find ity almost unusable without the left had vertical ruler. What gives? I will use the last version until this is added. Actually, until it is corrected.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • Pages update - vertical ruler still missing?

    Pages update says there is a vertical ruler. But when I click 'View Ruler', only the horizontal ruler at the top appears. What am I missing?

  • Gray area between vertical ruler and edge of page – remove

    I have a pages file where there is a large gray area between the edge of the page and the vertical ruler. I don't know where it came from but I want to get rid of it. I have a new file that I just opened from my templates and he does not have this large gray area.
    I tried looking, clicking on things and scratching my head and nothing works.
    I tried to add a couple J pigs to show what I'm talking about but can't do it. Anyway any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    TIA

    I'm not sure what you're seeing.
    Check the documents printer settings. They may be set for different printers. Perhaps Any Printer. If they'e not set for your printer, change them and see what you get.

  • Vertical Ruler and Preprinted Forms

    I am creating a Bill of Lading in CR2008 which must be printed on a preprinted form on a dot matrix printer. 
    There are boxes which have to have information in them.  I can measure on the form from the top and left where the data needs to go, but when looking at Crystal, it is hard to tell how the vertical ruler works.
    In the Report Header, I have a 1 showing, then there is another 1 in the Page Header, another 1 in the Details. 
    How can you accurately measure from the top edge of the page down using the vertical ruler?  Am I making this too complicated?
    Thanks,

    Pretty much what he said.  I just did an invoice and packlist on dot matrix printer with pre-printed forms.  You have to determine whether the printer is doing 8 lpi or 6 lpi and 10, 12 or 15 cpi.  Adjusting all of your sections to be a multiple of .125" or .167" will let you back in to the vertical positioning.  Make sure you use a mono spaced font available on the printer (usually Courier New) and font size 8 for 15cpi, 10 for 12 cpi or 12 for 10 cpi.  You can then figure your horizontal positions based on that.
    It will take some tweaking after you layout your first pass.

  • Look at your iphoto 'page'. On the left is a margin running vertically down the page and within that margin are shown your files/folders - e.g 'events', I can't get that margin contents back

    Look at your iphoto 'page'.
    On the left is a margin running vertically down the page and within that margin are shown your files/folders - e.g 'events', 'last 12 months', 'anniversary' etc etc.
    Now visualize the 'page' but WITHOUT the margin and the entries in it. It just disappeared while I was editing photos.
    I've tried all the 'File', 'Edit', 'View', 'Share' 'Window' & 'Help' options, but no success.
    There is no apparent way of calling up onto the screen any photos, folders etc. because I can't get the margin and its contents back onto the iphoto page.
    I've tried restoring the page from my backup, where it is all perfect, but that didn't work.
    Help please!

    Move your cursor to the extreme left hand side of the iPhoto Window until it turns into a '+' and then click and drag right.

  • Quick Look PDF with vertical and horizontal pages

    Is there any way to make Quick Look preview a PDF file with vertical and horizontal pages without adding white padding and retaining the aspect ratio?
    Now, if I have a PDF with page 1 vertical and the other pages horizontal QL shows the latter also with the ratio of a vertical page and adds white padding at their top and bottom. You get the inverse output if the first page is horizontally oriented, but the rest are vertical.

    Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
    You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
    This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

  • Vertical rule question

    for a customized vertical rule...
    border-left:1px inset #58595b;
    border-left-style: dotted;
    - how can I get the dots to space out a bit more? is there any way to control that in the border properties, or do I need to use an image?
    Thanks!

    Border-image is a CSS3 property.  Many browsers don't support it.

  • Pages can't create kind of document  first page on vertical and second page on horizon

    help me i won't create kind of document are  first page on vertical and second page on horizon.

    pages on iOS dosnt support making new documents with landscape view. I think this would also make it so you could not combine the two orientations in a single document.
    I was able to get a landscape document made by making it on the desktop, emailing it to myself, then saving it in pages on my ipad. Not sure if that would work for a combination document.

  • Suggestions - Vertical Ruler or the ability to set horizontail guides for various view ports.

    The suggestion link seems to be broken so I am posting here in hopes someone will see it. Edge Reflow would benefit greatly from the addition of a vertical ruler. Unless this is a view aready that I am somehow missing. Also it would be cool to be able to set a horizontal guides in the canvas grid (DOM). This would help in allowing the user set a guide for multiple viewing areas.
    And the pie in the sky, Santa Claus Christmas list of all request would be the ability to "blend" break points. It would be cool to set a 2000px view and a bookend break-point at 1024px, work both compositions to the desired look and have a "blend tool" that scales all the elements to the desired look form 2000px to 1024px.

    Hi Bobby, thanks for the suggestions!

  • Centering a single character horizontally AND vertically on a page

    This should be simple, yet I see no way of achieving the desired result. Please see this screenshot: http://bit.ly/gQY5mB
    I selected the number "2", as you can see. See all that vertical "empty space" above the "2"? I get that with all characters.. what's up with that? Why does the blue selection box not simply stop where the character stops, exactly the way it does on the bottom of the character?
    Word 2011 does this, too. All I want is to have this pretty big character centered both horizontally (easy, of course) and vertically (impossible?).

    Hello fruhulda.
    The problem is not linked to the size of the box.
    The function 'center vertically' doesn't center the character, it center a point defined by rules which I perfectly ignore.
    Look at this screenshot (in fact five ones).
    One more time, I used Arno Pro to be consistent with my first messages.
    I applied the same setting in the four examples.
    You may see that what I wrote match what we get.
    Only the lowercases are quite (not perfectly) centered
    If we want to center a given char, we must study carefully the font which will be used.
    We may print in a PDF a page containing the wanted character.
    Then use a tool (Preview if you want) to crop the PDF so that the space above equals the space below.
    Then insert this PDF in Pages.
    This time, we will be able to center the character using the available tools.
    But I feel that it's most efficient to
    insert a vertical line and center it horizontally
    insert an horizontal line and center it vertically
    At last, insert the wanted character in a text box and move the box so that the character is centered using the two lines as guides.
    When it's done, remove the lines or change the ink from black to white.

  • Positioning a vertical line in Pages document??

    I have a Pages word processing document that has three columns (like a classified ad page in a newspaper). I want to add vertical lines between the columns but I want to center and position the vertical lines myself between the columns. What setting do I change so that I can move a shape (a line) manually. In AppleWorks the feature used to be called "Turn Auto Grid Off." Any suggestions?

    Inline & floating works the same way in Pages as it does in AppleWorks. Think of working in a word processing document in AppleWorks. To have an object that you could move anywhere on the page & have text wrap around it, you click the arrow tool to enter draw mode. Any object pasted in draw mode is floating. Inline objects move like any text character. The description in the wrap inspector in early versions of Pages caused a lot of confusion (see first screenshot below). The function is now the same, but the description has improved as far as I'm concerned (second screenshot).
