Why won't Pages set uneven margins for binding a booklet?

I have set up a booklet, mostly with pictures, with a page size of 5.5 x 8.5. I want a wider inside margin for binding the booklet. Pages 09 lets me select this margin, but it doesn't appear on the screen. I am planning to have this booklet printed by a professional printer, not on my own printer. How can I make this work?
I am using 10.6.8.

Beth,
First, I suspect from your picture that you may be working with a Page Layout document, which would seem appropriate for the subject matter. In that case, margins are pretty much irrelevant because they apply to the main text layer, which doesn't exist. All objects in Page Layout are floating and can be positioned anywhere, including off the page. You just center the left pages on (in your example) on a layout line 4" from the left edge of the page and the right pages on a line at 4 ½."
It's a little hard to see from your photo, but the ruler measurements don't seem to have any relationship to your page so there may be some other issue here. (If you type Command Shift 4, you get a cursor which you can drag across the screen to capture a screenshot, which will be easier and more readable.)

Why is my page set up drop down different from your illustration in help for printing background

''duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/830795''
The page set up drop down menu looks nothing like the illustration in help. It does not include a box to check for "print background. How do I print background

first, does it sound like I set it up correctly from what I wrote?
Yes, all sounds correct.
Second, I heard that adding a b/g AX to the network will slow everything down to b/g speeds but I have also read that simply using B/G AX's to add speakers by joining the network will not slow down the N network....which is it?
The b/g AX devices will not slow down the network unless they are actively streaming AirTunes. Even then, audio streaming does not require a great deal of bandwidth, so for the most part, the effect would be negligible. Don't worry about it.
Is my network slowed down to b/g speeds because of my speaker set up or not?
The speed on your network will depend on a number of factors..are you downloading something while copying something else? Are you simply browsing? How far is the computer from the closest wireless access point?
You can check your current available bandwidth on your local network by doing the following:
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the Transmit Rate number.
"g" wireless = 54 Mbps
What do you see?
Oh, and by the way, I don't know if this matters, but while the time capsule serves as the main base station, it is in bridge mode because it is plugged into a 2wire gateway router.
If the Time Capsule is in bridge mode, it cannot act as the main base station. If you want, you could think of it that way if you are using the wireless on the Time Capsule as your preferred network, but the Time Capsule is not the "main" router.

Set new margins for preformatted spreadsheet

How do I set margins on a spreadsheet that came from a PC Excel to Numbers> It is preformatted for a statistics class. I also need to set up 2 sided printing. I also usually get a screen to do 2 sided from my printer, however that for some reason is not an option.
When I see it to work on it the page is perfect however when I look at preview document one column goes off the page. I try to make the columns smaller, but that makes the formulas not work properly. Help!

Hi robin,
You really haven't supplied a lot more information about what is not working. I have no idea what you mean by "I lose some calculation forms."
Going from memory, spiral binding requires a margin of about 1/2 inch; coil binding requires about 3/8 inch.
Jerry has already answered the question regarding duplex (two sided) printing.
Regarding shrinking the table to fit a page: Numbers has a nifty feature in Print View—at the bottom of the window (in Print View only) there's a slider to use to Scale Contents. It makes no change to the content of the table except to increase or reduce the size of everything on the page. Set your margins, then go to the View menu and Show Print View. Move the slider to the left until the whole table appears on a ingle page.
Regards,
Barry

How do set printing margins for my hp110photo smart printer

I can't get my printer to print the whole page text. It cuts off most of the right portion of the document.How do I set the margins so it doesn't do this.

seminolepeddler
Possible place(s) to look for a fix:
This might be a function output of the type of document you are printing.
Try setting the editor to wrap the text at a particular margin size.
Depending on your document editor and / or your browser , much of what is printed is controlled in Print Preview. The Print Preview feature is available in most editors and most browsers under File, that is, the left-most editor drop down menu function. (Chrome lacks a File Menu, find these features in Settings.)
You may need to switch the print to landscape.
You can also control the margins, at least to a small degree, in the Page Setup > Margins - Header / Footer tab of Print Preview. Be Aware: Expanding the margins may impact the header / footer information that is ordinarily printed on the document along with the text. You can switch off this information, if desired.

How do I set the margins for a book in ibook author

I am fairly new to Ibooks author and am having trouble figuring out how to set my margins to follow throughout the book. I am making the book in landscape mode and want the hardcopy version to be 11 x 8.5. I need the left margin to be set at 2.5 and no matter what I have done it skews the following pages. I will publish this online but since this is going to be a family history book, I am going to have to export it eventually to PDF and send it to a printer. Does anyone know how to change these settings?

Thank you. I just like the possibilities associated with Ibooks author. But I will do that and maybe later transfer that data to Ibooks.
Thanks again.

Why won't Pages 5.2 defer to my default printer? All my other applications do.

I am using Pages 5.2 on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.9.4. My default printer is a Canon MG5520. Except for Pages all my applications automatically defer to the MG5520. But every time I print from Pages another printer appears in place of the default. Only Pages has this problem. Any way to fix it?

You created your Pages documents with a version of Pages older than v5.2 (Apr 1 update), and by latest available, that would imply v5.1.
Sign into iCloud dot com and use Pages in the iWork for iCloud beta. See if this Pages can open your documents. If it can, I would Send a Copy as Word document back to your Mac for lecture note resurrection.
I have had intermittent issues with .pages documents created in v5.1 that resist opening in v5.2 — but eventually do open on subsequent attempts.
If you had Pages ’09 v4+ already installed on your Mac prior to the v5 upgrade, it will be located in /Applications/iWork '09. Drag/drop that version of Pages to your Dock, and avoid using v5.2 for critical work. It just isn't ready yet.

Why won't Pages open my .Pages file?

Today I tried to open 5 important .Pages documents I created in March 2014 using the latest version of Pages that was then available, and I keep getting the message '"x.pages" can't be opened.' with no further explanation. I've tried opening the files on both my iMac and my Macbook Pro, and exactly the same thing happens. I'm using Pages 5.2 on both computers. I know absolutely nothing I can do to fix the problem.
Any suggestions? I really need these files for my study - they are lecture notes for an important project I'm working on this week!

How to set different margins for a single document?

Hello,
I'm creating a Pages document that will be exported to PDF.
On text pages I need to set margins on all sides, but for photo pages I want the margins completely removed.
What would be the best way to do this?

The best way would be to choose either *Layout mode* which is free form layout except for headers and footers, or to use *Word Processing* mode but make all your Photos in Floating imageboxes which can be placed wherever you like.
see p132 of the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.

Why won't pages go full screen

When ever I try to make Pages go fullscreen it wont and the application stops working. I have a Retina MBP with lion and am using Pages 09 version4.2. Does anyone know how to fix this or why it is happening? Thanks. By the way full screen works fine on keynote.
Thankyou.

You say that you created your .mp4 (photos and videos) in Windows Movie Maker. However, please verify that since Windows Movie Maker does not appear to offer a .mp4 export choice...they all seem to be .wmv or dv.avi. If you miswrote on this point, the discussion of .mp4 and Premiere Elements becomes a non issue.
(The above seems to be true if you are using the Windows Live Movie Maker instead of Windows Movie Maker, but in the case of Windows Live Movie Maker there is no longer an option for dv.avi, just .wmv.)
When creating a Premiere Elements project for export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc,
a. Determine the properties of your source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, file extension, pixel aspect ratio, etc)
b. Set the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) to match the properties of those source media.
c. Check...does my source media fill the space provided in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes.
d. When exporting, if workflow is for 16:9 Widescreen, then be sure to set for a preset for Widescreen burn to or, if workflow is 4:3 standard, then a preset for Standard burn to.
I suspect that your problems are in regard to set up of your project rather than .mp4 versus other wrapper formats.
But let us see by looking at the details revisited.
Thanks.

Hello
I have been using Lightroom since it was first created. I am a very experienced Lightroom user, and I just updated to version 5 with my new Canon Eos 5D Mk II (I have used every 5 series camera too).
THERE IS NO LINK AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. CS6 SAYS IT IS UP TO DATE, LIGHTROOM SAYS IT IS NOT.
LIGHTROOM SAYS THAT I NEED THAT FILE. I HAVE BEEN SELECTING ‘IGNORE’ OR RENDER WITH LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS DEPENDING ON THE COMPUTER THAT I AM ON.
What I don’t understand is why is lightroom saying that i need the plug-in for my camera, CS6 says my software is up to date, and mostly THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE I CAN SIMPLY DOWNLOAD THE PLUG-IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
I am mostly annoyed about the last part- there is no place to simply download the plugin- hence I am writing here, and from what I have read online I am not the only person with this complaint. When I get a moment I will try the link to download it, but as I mentioned, why is it not available as there is obviously a glitch here.
Obviously I am a very frustrated user because the software is not updating and your site does not have the download available so the problem can be simply fixed. I find it a little offensive that you would suggest that I have the problem, and that I don’t know how to use the software, when I am pointing out clearly that there is a software issue here. And trust me, i understand the difference in the options but the fact the plugin does not show up as an update in CS6 (where you say it will be and how it should be installed), is the real issue.

Changing Page Size and Margins for existing document

Hi, really new at using InDesign and have a question.
I have an existing document about 40 pages containing text and graphics.
I need to change the page size from the original 8x10 to 8.5x11 as well as change the left margin from 0.5" to 1"
If I simply change these in File>Document Setup and Layout>Margins will everything change and convert?
Or put another way will I have to move everything around on all the pages once the new sizes are input?
Thanks!

You may get different advice from someone else, but if you want to make a global change like this to an existing file, I think the easiest way is to use the Layout Adjustment feature which has been deprecated in favor of Liquid Layout, and is now hidden away in the Liquid Layout panel flyout menu.
In order for it to work, two things must be true BEFORE you make changes to the file: Layout Adjustment must be turned on, and the text frames must be fully snapped to the existing margin guides, so you may have to adjust the margins BEFORE you make other changes so they surround the frmaes with no gaps.
Once margins are correct and Layout Adjustment is enabled, you can change the page size in Document Setup, then go to your master page and from the Layout menu choose Margins and Columns and reset the margins to whatever you like. The change should be reflected in all pages to which that master is applied, and your frames snapped to the old margins should change size/shape to remain snapped to the new ones.
