Why can't I change the page range?

If I try to print a single page (say page 3) from an AppleWorks 6 document, the Print… dialogue box will not accept anything except the default "Page 1 to Page 1".
The solution is to Quit and Relaunch AppleWorks 6. Now the Print… dialogue box accepts your desired page range. This behaviour is not a one off, it's repeatable.
Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Perhaps not the right forum - but nevertheless Appleworks does seem to have got increasingly buggy with each new system update. As Apple are no longer developing Appleworks, instead concentrating on iWork, there's unlikely to be a solution forthcoming.
I find it helps if I quit and re-open Appleworks after working in it for an hour or so - I think it's just caches filling up but can't be definitive on that.
Either way, do ensure you save your work regularly so the glitches don't catch you out. In my opinion it will be a while before iWork can truly take over Appleworks' mantle, so I'll be continuing to use it, bugs and all.

  • Why can't I change the page range in Appleworks 6?

    In Tiger, the Print… dialogue box allows me to print all pages, all odd pages and all even pages - but not an individual page (except for page 1).
    However individual pages from the same document to the same printer (but via my Panther laptop) are handled without any trouble.
    Can anybody offer a suggestion?

    Hello
    As I wrote in my late post, this feature works flawlessly for me.
    I assumes that something is corrupted.
    It may be in AW's preferences or in the file itself.
    For AW's preferences, look at Peggy's good old tip:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121704>
    If it's in the file, try to save it as an AppleWorks 5 document.
    Open this new document with AW6.
    This protocol forces a complete rebuild of the file's internals and remove the embedded print record.
    So I hope that you will be back to a standard behaviour.

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

  • Why can't I change the names of my states in my symbol?

    For some reason, Fireworks won't let me change the names of my states in my symbol.
    I double click on the state name in the states panel, and nothing happens.
    It works fine for normal "non-symbol" pages.
    Can you normally change the names of states in symbols?
    Any ideas why I am having difficulty doing so?

    Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article. 
    See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
    A million thank yous!!!!! 

  • Why can't I set the page size in centimeters?

    Am I missing something?
    In Preferences it allows me to use centimeters (I wish there were millimeters), but when I try to change the page size I can only use inches.

    You missed the fact that the print dialog aren't belonging to Pages but to the operating system.
    So, it's unaware of the unit setting done in the application.
    On my French system, Pages is set to use points as units for the rulers but the Print Dialog is using centimeters.
    As far as I know, you may force the system to use centimeters.
    With 10.4.11 we do that in the System Preference Pane entitled International. I forgot its new name.

  • How can I programmatically change the voltage range settings in a DAQ Assistant

    Hi,
    First post here.  
    I need to be able to change the voltage range properties of a daqmx DAQ Assistant based on user input.  My hardware, an SCXI-1102C does not allow changing this property on a running task, so I'd like to either set the analog input voltage range before the DAQ Assistant activates, or pause the DAQ Assistant immediately after it starts, set the values and then resume.
    I don't know how to edit the task ahead of time because the DAQ assistant creates the task when it runs, and there is no task before that.
    In the attached picture, I have a conditional section, set to run only if the while loop iteration is 0.  I take the task from the Daq assistant, send it to a stop task vi, set the property, and then send the task on to the start task vi. I can watch it run with the debug light on, and everything seems to work correctly, but on the second (and all the other) iteration of the loop, I read out AI.Max and it seems like the DAQ Assistant has re set it back to 5V.  Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
    BTW, this is continuous acquisition and the code does not produce error messages when it runs.
    I did come across a similar question that someone posted here back in 2006, but his question was specifically aimed at a Labview API (VB, I think), and not an actual G solution.
    Attached are the actual vi in question and a png image of the block diagram.
    Thanks!

    First, if you want to start getting beyond the basics with DAQ, you are going to have to stop using the DAQ assistant and do it with lower level DAQmx VI's.  There are hundreds of examples in the example finder.  You can even right click on the DAQ assistant and select open front panel.  That will create a subVI that you can open and see what is going on behind the scenes.  Do it.  I think you'll find the DAQ task is being recreated on each (though I'm not 100% of how the settings are established or maintained in each section of that subVI).
    The second problem is you have a bit of a race condition on iteration 0.  Those two DAQ property nodes are running at the same time.  So when you read the AI.Max, it may be happening before or after the AI.Max is set in your case structure.
    Third, make sure you wire up your error wires.

  • Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

    I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes.  I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes.  So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

    I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • Why can't I change the right margin in Pages?

    I am using Pages 5.5.2 under OS Yosemite 10.10.2 on an iMac. I chose "Informal Letter" as the style, because I am trying to write a SIMPLE letter. It says the right margin is set to 0.5 inches, but the program WILL NOT allow the text to go beyond 6.5 inches. I have turned on the ruler and when I click in the paragraphs there is a blue upside down triangle in the upper ruler showing the limit of the text. If I click on that I can move it to the left, but it WILL NOT let me move it to the right. It forces the text to end at 6.5 inches from the left margin leaving a huge blank area on the right side of the page. This is ridiculous! In WORD it is extremely easy to move the right margin to the limits of the printer. Why won't Pages allow me to move the text limit of the line past the 6.5 inch mark?
    HELP!

    Hi Bush,
    what you suggested does not work. I set the right margin to 0 in the Documents settings, but still can only move the blue triangle to the left.
    Yes, I agree that there is a bug in the Informal Letter template.
    Peter wrote:
    Better to create your own template from the Blank template or use one of the other templates.
    A hint that might help you (in templates other than Informal Letter)
    My advice is the same as Peter's. Give up on the Informal Letter template and create your own template from Blank in Template Chooser:
    You will find that Document Margins and Insets on the Ruler actually work!
    Regards,
    Ian.
