Why can't i make changes to my pages document? I want to amend text in a table but it wont allow me do it

This never happened before. I have a table in a pages doc in which I have text to amend. The cursor will not click in the box and I cannot type or delete text. Any ideas?

Object can be locked in Pages so they can't be moved or changed. Here is the text from Pages User Guide which you can download from your Pages Help menu
Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
To lock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

  • Why can I not make changes to a indesign file

    I was given a file to make some changes to.  I can open the file and some items are selectable but others are not.  Can not copy them or make changes.  Wondering why?  Some are pictures and some are text.

    Oh  Thank you so much.  I am new to this program and am wanting to purchase the monthly program.   But I want to know that I can learn to use it.  I have 30 days to get some things worked out.  Thank you so much.  I guess I created mine on the master so are you telling me I can create a layer effect like in Photoshop and have different stuff on different layers and yet have them all show or just some.  I would like to create the unchangeables on the master and then just add layers for changeables. 
    Elaine   I wish there was a book to look at.  But I am really working at this so I can know  if this is the program for me.  I am familiar with Photo shop and maybe this works similar.
    Thanks elaine

  • Why can't I make changes on some of these choices?

    Some of my screens and / or choices on those screens are faded out and I can't select anything to make changes.  One in particular is the page for location settings.

    Thanks for the reply.  On Location Services screen, "ON" is selected.  It's a pale blue, not normal color of blue. Several apps are listed below, some are set to on and some to off.  The only  one I can click on is Find My iPhone.
    iCloud and FaceTime are two other things that are grayed out and I can't click.

  • Why can't I make changes on my external hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive that I set up through Windows XP that I can now access through Mac OS X on my MacBook. Unfortunately, I'm not able to delete or make any changes to any of the files through the Finder. Why is that, and can it be changed?

    Thanks everyone. I suppose I'll just reformat for Apple. I need to use it for large files, and I suppose I could survive without editing ablities on Windows.
    There's another alternative, format it as exFat, 4G limit does not apply and OSX + Windows will be able to read/write.

  • Why Can't I Make Changes To This Image ?

    I have a black & white image, edited some time ago in a trial version of LightZone software,taken into PSE3, and saved as a flattened RGB .tif file. For some reason I can't apply any filters/effects/layer styles to this image. The filters/effects etc. seem to work until the image is flattened,then the image reverts to its original state. Changing to grayscale,then changing back to RGB has no effect,similarly with saving the image under a different name as a .psd file - I still can't get anything to stick at the 'flatten' image stage.
    I don't think it's a Lightzone problem as other images edited with this trial accept changes as per normal, and current images edit o.k.
    File size for me is normal at about 45MB.
    What simple obvious thing am I missing ?

    Rita....
    I tried this,but it didn't seem to make any difference.
    Barbara.....
    Yes I'm on 10.3.9
    BUT
    This morning I had a fresh look at the problem,as last night after midnight, having been up for 18 hours and playing with the problem for over an hour, it was probably not the best time to be submitting a question. I have now found that,contrary to my original post,the problem seems to be restricted to layers - adustment layers / layer styles.
    What I found this morning,with the original and a copy, was that if,for example, I applied a new gradient map adjustment layer to the image, I was actually achieving about 40% of the effect.
    I confirmed this by comparing the unflattened ORIGINAL image with the adustment layer applied, to the flattened adjusted COPY of the file. By reducing the opacity of the adjustment layer on the original to 40% I got a match between original and copy.
    I don't know whether this makes the problem any easier to explain,or if this problem simply falls into the odd unexplainable 'PSE quirk' category.

  • Why can't I access my iCloud-stored Pages document on my iPhone (Pages iOS)?

    I have the latest iOS my 2 phones.  I have the current Pages iOS app on each phone.  I have several Pages documents on my iPhones (created there, locally).  I have my iPhone(s) set up for iCloud access and I have Settings on the phones set for iCloud access to Documents & Data.  The phones are connected to the net.
    I have (successfully) done a "Save As" of a document from Pages on my Mac to the iCloud.  I have confirmed the Save As worked by logging into my iCloud account (via Safari) and viewing the document in Pages (iWork).  I even did some edits there in Safari and created a new version of the Pages document there, so now I have 2 Pages documents in my iCloud account.
    However.... when I launch Pages on either of my phones I do not find a way to open (or import) either of those documents from my iPhone.
    What am I missing?  Thanks!

    Is your documents and data on in your iPhones settings?
    Also, check the Pages per-app settings in the settings app.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.  Yes, the Documents & Data is on.  But your second suggestion was spot-on.  I got a reply to my re-posted question in another forum area and that pointed me to the Pages setting in the Settings app.  It had been switched off.  Switching it to "on" has the iCloud-stored documents now appearing in Pages on the phones.

    I have the latest iOS my 2 phones.  I have an iCloud account.  The phones are connected to the net.
    I have the current version of the Pages iOS app on each phone.  I have several Pages documents on my iPhones (created there, locally) and I am able to open and edit them just fine.  I have my iPhone(s) set up for iCloud access according to the documentation from Apple, and I have Settings on the phones set for iCloud access to Documents & Data. 
    On my Mac I have successfully done a "Save As" of a document from Pages to the iCloud.  I have confirmed that the Save As worked by logging into my iCloud account (via Safari) and viewing the document in Pages (iCloud / iWork).  I even did some edits there in Safari and created a new version of the Pages document in the iCloud, so now I have 2 Pages documents in my iCloud account (just in case it was something to do with any issues about the rev. of Mac Pages that created the iCloud version of the document).
    However.... when I launch Pages on either of my phones (or my iPad) I do not find a way to open (or import) either of those documents from any of my iOS devices.

  • Why can't I make a disk Image??

    getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
    question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
    it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
    I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
    Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
    curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
    thanks, chris

  • Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?

    Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?
    Nothing works. I've tried several options to make a Graphic Style. Even tried to copy another and change it.
    Kindly Regards
    Christina Saugmann

    Hi
    It was a simple fillcolor with opacity. It is as if it doesnt respond. I can clic the symbol for a new layer, but nothing happens. I've dragged the style from appearance-box, to symbol for new style - Nothing. I've dragged the box directly to Graphic Styles - again - nothing. I've tried with my CS4 that worked. But not in CC.

  • Can no longer make changes on my site.

    As the title says, I can no lonfger make changes to my site.
    I have checked and rechecked the site access details and they are correct.  Pressing the "Test" button under the Advanced settings in the site definitions for "Remote Info" tells me that Dreamweaver MX2004 connected successfully.
    Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

    I have  been in touch with the hosting company and they have sorted the problem out for me.  Thank you.
    I don't see what the operating system would have to do with such a problem anyway .....
    And thank you to Chris and to Murray for your responses.

    So where do you do when apps just seem to stop working, particularly when you paid for an app.  I have now had then happen twice and there seems to be very little customer care from Apple when this occurs.  Just a note to let customers know that an app will no longer work or who to contact would be great.
