Applications :: Does Pages Have Fields/Variables

Sep 19, 2009

One feature I like about NeoOffice is the ability to create user-defined variables (what it calls Fields) and then insert them into the text. If you were writing a contract, for example, one variable could be a name. By inserting a variable several times in a document, you can save time and effort updating the document by simply changing the variable's value and having the several instances in the text updated automatically.

Jun 10, 2010

I can tab between text entry fields, but it won't select ratio, checkboxes, or buttons. This seems to be universal, and not program specific?

Applications :: How To See 'To' And 'CC' Fields Without Using Long Headers

Jan 7, 2011

Am trying to use Mail (version 3.6 on OS 10.5.8) and when I view a message would like to be able the 'To' and 'Cc' fields without having to use Long Headers or Raw Source options (which I found under the View - Message menu). These give far too much unnecessary information, but I need to be able to easily see who else the message has been sent to. This seems really basic for an email program and I suspect it is really obvious, but I've looked everywhere and on the web with no answers!

Applications :: Resizing Text Fields In Safari?

Jan 15, 2008

"Resize at will.

Maybe the text field you're typing in is a bit too small to read. Or maybe you just have a lot to say. Either way, Safari lets you resize text fields on any website, just by grabbing the corner of the field. Resize a field and the web page reflows to make room."

From: [URL]

Can anyone actually get this to work? I've never seen a website, Apple's included, that let's you do this feature. Yet it's listed on Apple's webpage.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Set PATH Environment Variables When There Is No ~/.profile?

Apr 18, 2012

I have a MacBook Air and just installed MySQL.I read the doc which I downloaded and should be able to run "mysql" from terminal as descibed below:Suppose that your MySQL programs are installed in /usr/local/mysql/bin and that you want to make it easy to invoke these programs. To do this, set the value of the PATH environment variable to include that directory. For example, if your shell is bash, add the following line to your .bashrc file: PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin I checked on my terminal with ls -al, but no ~/.bashrc also no ~/.profile files.  Echo $SHELL shows me that I am using /bin/bash as shell.When I run export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin  then it works and I just have to type "mysql" to get the mysql command line but as soon as I kill my terminal and open a new terminal this setting is lost.

Software :: Reset All Paths & Environment Variables To Default

Dec 21, 2009

Quite a while back, I had a real problem after installing some software from source that changed a lot of environment variables and stuff. Undoubtably, trying to rectify the situation without enough knowledge just exacerbated the problem.

Anyway, I still have a lot of frustrating problems when working in command line. For example, I just got an error telling me gcc isn't installed. Well that's unlikely, considering how much compiling I tend to do outside command line! However, whereis gcc does nothing.

Basically, I want to just reset all the problems I have caused and just set my paths back to default. I mean everything. Problem is, I dunno what they should be, and I don't know where to start. I know I have to sort my .profile, but even that is a bit taxing.

Which files should I be changing, and what changes should I make

Applications :: IWork 08 Pages Tables/Pages Does Not Retain Its Table Formatting?

Sep 17, 2008

When copying a table from say a webpage or even a RTF file, Pages does not retain its table formatting. Instead it separates the rows and columns and puts them on separate lines.

See it for yourself, try copying one of the tables on this page into Pages [URL]

The only way I can get the table into Pages is to paste into NeoOffice (which retains the correct formating), save the file with the .doc extension then open in Pages.

Applications :: Open Pages Files Without Pages?

Mar 24, 2010

I need to open a few Pages files but I don't have Pages installed on this computer. I understand you can convert Pages files to .doc or .pdf within the application, but unfortunately I won't have access to the computer with the program installed for a while.

Is there some sort of (free) converter that can convert .pages files to .doc or .pdf or even .rtf?

Or even better, a document creator/viewer than can open .pages files?

Applications :: How Do You Make Full Pages In Pages?

May 12, 2010

I'm trying to create pages that have all black backgrounds. I've been doing this by using the Shapes tool, choosing a rectangle, filling in the entire white space for the page, which is 8x11, and then filling in with black.

The problem is that when I do this, Pages seems to think that I want this page and the following page to be connected, in some way. When I look at the two pages in the thumnail view, the yellow outline is around both pages, rather than each individually.

Anybody know how to keep this from happening. Or the right way to create full black backgrounds for pages in Pages?

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Restart Apache With Server-admin Environment Variables Set?

May 21, 2012

With any Unix machine, one can run at the command line:-  apachectl -S This will show all virtual servers configured in Apache, and will break if there are any obvious problems in the httpd .conf files. It's very handy for testing a new configuration before restarting the server. With Mac OS X Server though, this doesn't work properly. Sure, I can run that command and see a virtual server or two, but with the introduction of the server Apache wrappers, the command line tools read a very different configuration than the `serveradmin` tool does.

e.g. Wrappers like:-<IfDefine MACOSXSERVER>
....
</IfDefine>
or <IfDefine WEBSERVICE_ON>

[code]....

ps. Running `sudo serveradmin stop web && sudo serveradmin start web` really compared to `apachectl graceful`; it's painfully slow and doesn't provide a way to test a custom configuration before attempting to restart.

OS X :: Sorting Files By Multiple Fields?

Nov 28, 2010

I am trying to sort my files by date and type. I can sort by Modified Date and File Type. Every time I sort by file type, the files are listed alphabetically within their folder type lists. This is not what I want. I want to see all the .rar files in chronological order

As I recall from Windows, I can sort by Modified Date, then Type, and the files will be listed by type, and then secondarily sorted by Date. Is there a way to do this on the Mac?

I'm on 10.6.5

OS X :: Cannot Access Fields In Disk Utility When Trying To Partition

Apr 13, 2010

First off I am new to Mac's and I am trying to repartition my harddrive. i did it once before and was successful and when i tried to adjust the size, windows kept getting errors.

On the advice of my friend he told me to completely wipe out my machine and reinstall Mac OS 10.4. I have since reinstalled SL 10.4 and downloaded bootcamp. However, I do not see a boot icon in my applications or utilities folder, but I do see a disk utilities icon.

When I click that and click the only hard drive that is there and try and partition it, the slide bar will not work for me to divide the hard drive into the size i want and none of the fields or dropdown boxes will work.

MacBook Air :: Cannot Click Links Or Fields In Safari

Apr 20, 2012

Just purchased a new MacBook Air for my wife.  While it is a huge step-up from the previous macbook, we've run into a very frustrating problem.  Every now and then Safari will no longer accept any click on links or the ability to enter data into fields.  You tap and click and it's like a brick wall--no response.  We've tried forcing a refresh of that page, still won't work.  If I quit Safari and then go back to the page, it's works.  But unless I quit the app, it just remains an unclickable webpage. 

Any thoughts?? I've never encountered this before and it is hard to duplicate as it is not consistent with specific sites or work flow.

OS X :: Dock & Expose Gone As Well As Black Backgrounds In Text/dynamic Fields?

Feb 23, 2009

I installed the updates yesterday and restarted. Upon restart, the dock was gone. I went into the preferences, and made sure everything was correct with the settings. Also, the background image is going bezerk, changing every 3-4 seconds, even thought it's not set to do so. Expose is not working, the "Application Switcher" (cmd + tab, sorry, don't know proper name) is not working, and there is a strange black background in nearly every window.

Screenshot of what is happening is posted here:[URL]

Please note weird look of text on windows, and black backgrounds in the fields.

I've repaired permissions and restarted multiple times. i've never had this happen before...

OS X :: How Do I Get Safari To Present Auto-fill Options In Text Fields Like Firefox Can

Aug 2, 2010

How do I get Safari to present auto-fill options in text fields like Firefox can.

Seems like a cookies thing but I think not because it presents me with all previous names I've used on other website's text fields before.

For example in Firefox if I go to sites I haven't visited before and I'm asked to type in my new username, as soon as I type the first letter, Firefox gives me options from previous text fields I've filled in before all over the net and unrelated to the site I'm on.

Applications :: NeoOffice Vs Pages

Jan 6, 2011

I have been using NeoOffice for the past few years and I've been considering buying Pages. Just wonder if any of you have used both NeoOffice for word processing and Pages so that you can make a comparison. I have a few gripes about NeoOffice. It takes a long time to load and I have had some formatting issues when sharing docs with those using MS Word.
