remove the formatting of a document pages

I'm importing text (copy / paste) into a new document in Pages. There are commands of paragraph at the end of each line, visible by clicking Show invisible characters on the view tab. When I try to format the text, I get weird results as simple words on a line. If I remove the descendant 'P' at the end of each line manually, which solves the problem; everything is as it should be. I tried to use 'Find and replace' but it doesn't work because it removes all invisible characters so that you get a long sentence without a space between the words. I tried to use TextEdit to remove formatting controls unwanted, as found in another link, but that doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions on how to do to remove all "P"? I have a document of 50 pages to reformat, so doing this manually is nuts.

HI Dwight,.

When you copy text from? I guess that returns were inserted by an application of text at some point editor in the process. If you copy a text editor, you can find an arrangement that will toggle between having and not having returns at the end of each line. If so, set it to "off" before the selection and copy.

Is it possible to distinguish these additional returns of those legitimate by looking at the characters that immediately precede and follow?

Back at the end of a paragraph should immediately follow a sign of punctuation; period, question mark, or exclamation point and should be immediately followed by the first character of the next paragraph.

End of line returns should not follow one of these brands, except when this brand (and the space after it) come too close to the maximum line length to fit the word following on the same line.

If you're lucky, and the record was produced by someone not wise to (or not to trust of) the ability of the software to add a space after a point, you can see that two consecutive returns have been used (as I have in this post) to create this space.

End of line returns should not follow one of these brands, except when this brand (and the space after it) come too close to the maximum line length to fit the word following on the same line.

Knowledge of these patterns can give you a method three passes for the removal of these statements of additional income by using find/replace.

On the first pass, MARK returns you want to keep.

-If double returns have been used, use two returns as your search string and two markers as the same string replacement. The markers must be a pair of characters that do not appear or do not appear in pairs, in the document. ' # ' comes to mind.

-If you need to rely on punctuation, you will need to make a separate pass mark for each sign of punctuation that was used at the end of a paragraph. For each, the Find string will be markreturn and the brand of string replace. #

This first pass will replace all the feedback that you want to keep with "#" (preceded in the second method of punctuation that should also be kept).

On the second pass, remove all the statements that have been left in the document. Find the string: return the replacement string: a single space.

NOTE: This assumes that the end of the return line has replaced the space that normally elapses between the words, at this stage. If you have determined that there is a return of end of line AND a space between the word at the end of a line and beginning of the next line, leave the box replace empty.

CAREFUL directions: understand the space, then see the fourth passage below.

On the third pass, reinsert the required return. Search: # replace: return

Note that if your first pass sought and kept a sign of punctuation, you do NOT want to restore it - there was kept in the first pass.

Fourth optional phase: one of the things I've taught students when we started using processing in elementary school was never press the space bar twice in a row. You need a space between the words, no space between a Word and punctuation after the word and a space between the mark end of a sentence and the first word of the following sentence in the same paragraph. This pass of find/replace removes extra spaces using find: replace two spaces: a space.

Repeat this step as many times as necessary (until find/replace reports "none found" or a similar message).

Kind regards

Barry

PS: This method can probably also be written in an AppleScript, who would have shot on the necessary measures and simplify everything.

How can I remove the search engine on my page in new tabs?

Hello

a year or two ago I spent hours trying to find an answer to this question and I managed to do it, but unfortunately a few weeks back I had an unexpected data loss, and I'm unable to find a solution to my problem more.

By 'on my new tabs page search engine', I mean the dialog box with the choice search engine that did not exist in the previous version of FireFox. I want to not go. Not changed Yahoo, Bing or anything else - just.

If I remember, the solution was to go to about: config and change the settings for those who would make the thing not appear at all (rather that remove entirely), but if you know how to do so that he went not only visually, but also officially, I'm obviously very well with this solution too.

Hi, you are using an older version of Firefox, which can compromise your security. Update to 41.0.1, open the 3-bar menu > help (question mark below on the right) > on Firefox.

After that, here's some additional information for reference: you can change the number of tiles on the page new tab in zoom in or back (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

You can also keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles, scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '. - Editor of Configuration of Firefox.

However, given that you want to remove the search box in the new page tab, I suggest you try the add-on New tab tools.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

How to remove the side margins on web pages in Firefox 6.0.2 in Windows 7?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and I downloaded Firefox 6.0.2. I copied a Firefox in Firefox profile 6.0.2 on my old computer to the new computer. For some reason, web pages are wide margins, which makes small lettering. If I press ctrl +, I can increase the size of everything, but the size increases only in the margins, pushing the content down. the margins does not diminish. What is the solution? Thank you

You can use an extension to set a page zoom and the size of the default font on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
- NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

the format of my document changes when I convert from a txt to PDF file, how to keep the original format of the document?

How to maintain a txt document format when converting to PDF? the pdf file continues to change the lines on the page

txt is not a format. Really. It's just text, and so there is no right way to do it. I guess you need to do is to put in Word and from there, you can choose the font, size, page margins, and the difficulty of the layout; then, you can create a PDF file. Despite this, expect the changes to line break.

Help me REMOVE the duplicate folders My Documents and others created automatically when I install Virtual PC in XP Mode to run older programs. I removed the computer virtual and XP, but it does not remove the My Documents folders duplicate.

While trying to run some older programs (Corel) in characteristic as advertised XP mode from my new Dell laptop and Windows 7 PC, I created Virtual PC and XP mode Setup. Somewhere during this process, the system created in double My Documents, my pictures, my videos, files etc. that you can not (no authorization) access through Windows 7. I understand that they may is accessible while you were in Virtual PC. I came to my senses after the poor performance of Windows XP/Virtual PC and decided to remove remove these programs (and buy Corel for Win7). I followed the instructions for a good dismantling of Microsoft who think in the end, these inaccessible files would disappear and I would have a struture of own file again. However, duplicate inaccessible folders still remain and I can't get rid of them. Believe me - it's a pain because it's very confusing when you browse folders. There is no files in these folders, so there is nothing that we need to go.

Please, for the love of peace in my family, tell me how I can get the PC back where it was when we first install Windows 7. And - what's the problem of not having a complete control of my pc? Personally, I'm offended that Microsoft has locked the users so that they cannot use their own brain - apparently I'm not the only one... If you are willing to share, I would appreciate a detailed response.

Hello, SuperMomNot

Where are these records?

Virtual PC will create only shortcuts to installed applications in XP mode, no records. The ability to open and save files that are stored on the host computer is made via the network sharing of files between the two.

Pdf creation from Word 2007 with the layout, the 'Landscape' Orientation and document Pages, 'two pages per sheet.

I am trying to create a PDF from a Word 2007 document with the layout, the 'Landscape' Orientation and Pages, 'two pages per sheet. The document was created in Word 2003. The entire document is four "pages" long, but each of these "pages" is half of an 8 1/2 x 11. So it's really a pages document two and prints on only two sheets of letter size paper.

Acrobat does not seem to 'see' this document is set up to have two pages per sheet, is it really just a two-page document. He created a four-page pdf file.

It arrived not with Word 2003. The pdf file created from this version is an exact copy of the document word - two pages.

Any ideas?

Why I can't delete Yahoo search suggestions in the navigation bar? How can I remove the DNS of Yahoo error page?

Maybe that's two questions. Both pooped upward with a recent update. I do not have yahoo extensions or add-ons installed.

(a) I type a URL in the navigation bar (NOT the search box), and all of these 'useful' pop-up suggestions. Do stop.

(b) I type wrong address in the navigation bar (NOT the search box) and I get a Yahoo to "links" page Do stop.

Thank you. I have the screenshots I can post too.

Found the solution. It's an add-on: uTorrentControl3 by conduit. I've disabled to check and uninstalled then when I saw it was the question.

Did you know that it's a job for parts of authorized service provider ? If you wish, for the RAM, try it please:

1. turn off the computer. If you don't know if the computer is off or in hibernation, turn on the computer and then stop it through the operating system.
2. remove power from the computer by disconnecting the power cord from the computer.
3. disconnect all external devices from the computer.
4. remove the battery (see battery on page 27).

How can I remove the url .html

Is is possible to remove the .html from a url?
Instead of www.mydomain.com/help.html it would be www.mydomain.com/help
An answer I found was to edit the .htaccess file, but I can't find this file anywhere in the files loaded on the catalyst for business.

I recommend strongly to living with file extensions .html and post a feature request in the forum of ideas.

Active state is based on the link associated with the element which is the link for the current page. Unless you go except change the output of Muse whenever you update your site to remove the .html internal links in pages, you will encounter problems like this. I suspect that this change would probably also create problems for the In-Browser editing feature (when you try to synchronize changes in your site .muse file).

Cristian probably shouldn't have pointed out this method to try to remove the .html extensions, but it included some warnings. And the option that must be enabled explicitly in British Colombia says it is "incompatible with the Muse.

"... Another thing you should keep in mind is that once you change the name of the 'page' 'page.html' page, you must also update any reference pointing to "page.html".

One last thought, unless you are comfortable with changing the code by hand you should leave the files as they are implemented (with the extension .html). »

Document pages in word on the iTunes format are duplicated. How can I delet extra copies?

I synchronize with all my Pages documents in Word format. The problem is that every document on my iPhone is presented as reproduce under the iTunes, section of Pages of Documents, same old deleted documents. Tried to remove the extra copies directly from iTunes, but could not. Is there a way to remove these additional documents on iTune and couldn't get back in my phone? Only when I use to synchronize using PDF format where duplication is not created. But I prefer to have the documents in Word on my PC.

Hi Gezirazlk,

If you create Pages documents on your iPhone and want a PDF on your PC unless it is duplicated on your iPhone, a possible flow of work/solution would be to download iCloud for Windows on your PC and use iCloud drive to store your PDFs for your PC.

Take a look at the resources below to see how it works:

Can I Auto format the first paragraph on each page of a document of 20 pages?

So, I have a document that is in fact just a numbered list of 200 entries.
There are 10 items per page, which makes it a 20 page document.
Unfortunately, from time to time I give myself an extra entry to add, whose invariaby is in the middle of the document and not at the end.
What I would do, if I add a new #20 to the document, the old #20 (now #21), pushed to the next page, would then automatically be formatted with the paragraph style to my 'Style'.
I could not find out how to do this, which means, in the above example, I need to go to 18 pages and remove the 'Style' formatted as in each case after the addition, it is now the second entry on the page. At the same time, I must apply the paragraph 'Style' formatting for each first entry of all subsequent pages. If I only had to do from time to time, it would not be a problem, but this document is regularly updated, it becomes tedious.
Nested styles does not seem to be an option, because I use the numbering that requires a paragraph break to differentiate each line number and nested styles seem to apply to each paragraph, except if I am doing something wrong here.
I hope that this is sufficient to go.
Sébastien

You say that the formatting is different for each paragraph 20, reagardless of its content, and it is going to be the first paragraph on a page to go?

As long as never depart you from the cycle 20 paragraph that it's actually pretty easy to do, just 20 paragraph styles, of which 19 are based on the other and differ only in the name of style. You then together "next" style attributes to run through the list of styles, then the following style for #20 is #1 and the sequence starts over. Now just select the entire block of text between the point where you have edited at the end and click right on the name of the TSRI in selecting paragraph style, then in the menu popup, choose apply and following Style.
