What happened to page breaks in Numbers 3.2?

I need Numbers to create a PDF spreadsheet that has actual page breaks instead of one long table. Why can't I do this?? I frequently need to share spreadsheets with those not using a Mac or any spreadsheet software at all. But when I export my two page spreadsheet to a PDF, the file is just a long table without breaking it up into two pages. Perhaps someone could print it and stretch it out over two pages, but I should be able to format how something should look as a PDF and there doesn't seem to be any way to do that. When I try to insert a page break, the option is grayed out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cam,
Instead of Menu > File > Export To... > PDF, do
Menu > File > Print... to get Print Preview.
A large table in Print View (zoomed out for a smaller screen shot)
The page breaks are inserted.
The Print Setup panel on the right allows you to set the page margins (drag the panel up to see).
Now click on Print... to get the Print Dialogue
Click on PDF (lower left)
Save as PDF.
Here is the PDF (zoomed out for a smaller screen shot)
Regards,
Ian.

Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'. something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under. This is the Canadian or US keyboard.
btw thanks for your suggestion.

How to enter a page break in numbers

how do you enter a page break in numbers?

In Numbers there is no concpet of "entering a page break". You look at the print preview which you see when you select the menu item "File >Print...".
If the pagination is correct you click the "Print" button. If not then you click the "Done" button and move content around. Often I place, temporary, rectangles on a page that take up the full page so I know where to put content, then remove them before printing.

PS CS6 - What happened to Page Setup?

Please help - I'm about to bang my head on the desk in complete frustration, and it shouldn't be this difficult!!
What happened to Page setup in CS6? I'm trying to print a document with canvas size 11x17. When I try to print, the media box is listed at 8.5x11. There is no obvious way to change it, and Page Setup is no longer in the file menu, or on the dialog box.
Here's a video demonstrating my attempts - http://screencast.com/t/n5Uuae3zSzTc
Please help!!!!
Many thanks.

Change the page size in print settings. But some printer drivers require that you save custom print sizes as a preset before they'll tell the application about the custom page size (lame, but that's printer drivers for ya).

How to make a page break in numbers

The only way I found to make a new page in Numbers was to make new rows down to where the page would break, but it's only letting me add a few new rows to the new page. I'd like to know how to make a page break without just adding rows.

Hi Yellowbox,
Still I'm not convinced, it gives you indeed some advantages but this page break is a great fault.
All the company is working on Apple, we try even to keep Microsoft away but what when you make a quote of several pages and have to make your lay out at the end, it is a pain in your xxx to make it well.
We cannot make different tables for each page nor I want to make it in Pages with a Numbers table.
Secondly, what do you do when you get a Excell offer that you want to bring to Numbers.
It opens well but again, you need to make all the page lay out afterwards!
Thanks for yoru reply.
It won't change my mind about Apple and Microsoft but for timing earning I won't changes all Excel offers to Numbers anymore. Even if I do not want, it would take me less time to work it out in Excel.
Our own offers will remain in Numbers ...
It is a pity but time is so important nowadays!
Nice week-end.

How to create page breaks in numbers?

How do I create page breaks in iCloud Numbers? The spreadsheet I created is 4-5 pages long, but it saves as one long scrolling document, and when it prints, all 4-5 pages are seen (very small, unreadable font) on a single page. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dave

This excel feature is not exactly available in Numbers.
Here we may create up to 255 sheets in a document. They are reachable from the thumbnails area.
And each sheet may embed up to 255 tables also reachable from the thumbnails area.
Think different or use Excel !

Incompatible page breaks excel,numbers

I need to use Excel and Numbers for my report cards. Every time I use Excel and then open it in Numbers the page breaks are different. Is there a way that I can format the spreadsheet so the page breaks will not change?

To get the same page breaks, you must use
the same paper size,
the same margins
the same headers/footers, the same row heights
the same columns widths
the same fonts so that there is no extraneous wrap in dome cells.
From my point of view it's something like "Hercules's works'.
If you nead identical layout, use the same app in both worlds.

What happened to page headers and footers in the new version of Numbers?

Just downloaded the update to Numbers. Where did the Show Layout with page headers and footers go?

They are somewhere on the cutting room floor at the Apple app factory.
Send Feedback to Apple via the Numbers menu.

Pasting PDF - what happens to pages after page 1?

Pasting a pdf in to Pages works well except that I only seem to get the first page.
Anyone else experienced this? and what's the workaround?
Or am I just doing something stupid?

Stupid is as stupid does.
It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Rather than stupid I'd say you're doing things backwards.
The PDF format was designed to be the final step in document production to make files easily transferable between programs and operating systems. So, I have always viewed trying to insert a PDF document into another type of document as similar to trying to increase the dimensions of a painting after it's been framed; adding the eggs to a cake after it's been baked; spackling the walls after they've been painted . . . blah, blah, blah.
Unless the PDF is only a single page and that's the only format you can get for the document, I think the better procedure is to create a PDF of the Pages document (or Word document - insert program here) and then insert the other PDF pages into the new PDF file. If you only need a portion of the PDF or you only need the text, you can often copy and paste images and text from the PDF into another program. It depends on you the PDF was created.
BTW, the PDF is acting the way it should, although I can't explain the technical aspect of it. If you really want the other pages, you'll need to insert them one at a time, probably by breaking the PDF into multiple files and inserting each one.
Good luck,
Terry

What happened to page count, word count and the toolbar at the top?

Is there any way to edit the toolbar so that when I want to switch fonts I don't have to keep opening the toolbar on the side? (Is there anyway I can get the toolbar from the previous version back?)
Also, is there a way for the page count and word count to show up and stay there for future documents? I had the word count appear and tried to save that as a template but when trying to open up new documents I have to go back and make it so the word count shows up again.

What Peter said.
Is there any way to edit the toolbar so that when I want to switch fonts I don't have to keep opening the toolbar on the side?
Yes. Menu > View > Customize Toolbar... drag/drop the Fonts icon adjacent to the Comments icon on the Toolbar. The Fonts icon now becomes a toggle to show/hide the Fonts toolbox, which you could also produce with a command+T.
(Is there anyway I can get the toolbar from the previous version back?
No.
Also, is there a way for the page count and word count to show up and stay there for future documents
No. Available via Menu > View > Show Word Count. This produces a floating box at the bottom of your document. When you roll over it with your mouse, you have a selection of words, characters, and paragraphs. The word count excludes spaces.

DW 2014. - What Happened To Page Title In Toolbar?

In prior versions there used to be a page title box in the document toolbar. Is this gone? Is there a way to redisplay it?

I doesn't seem to display in Properties when in a table. I can see it if I open a blank page, but if I open the Properties box on my main template (which is comprised completely of tables) it doesn't show. Screenshots below:
When in my (table-based) template:

Random page breaks striping down my page. Anyone have a thought on a fix?

Ack! Randomly, some InDesign pages are filled with what look like page breaks that stripe through the page. Scrolling up and down sometimes removes them, sometimes reveals them as gray or white stripes. The footer keeps repeating or sometimes just a line of text. Can anyone please help me??

I have Windows 2010 on a PC and use CC2014. When I scroll down through the pages of the document, the problems often disappear. But then, when I scroll back up, the page breaks, etc. reappear. I thought it might have been related to copying and pasting a Word doc so I removed the document and created a new Word doc which I placed into the ID doc. That seemed to help briefly, but then the problem came back. Sometimes it looks like the picture and sometimes it is almost like there is a separate layer of gray stripes that scrolls in front of my ID doc. The other weird thing is that the problems keep changing...now I don't get repeating footers, but do get other repeating text. Thanks for any help!

What happened to "SAVE AS" in pages & numbers?

That will only work in Mountain Lion not Lion.

Apple introduced Auto Saving in Lion along with Versions and removed Save As from the menu.
Menu > File > Duplicate > Save the duplicate with new name
does much the same thing as Save as.

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it? Thanks

I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.
