Tips for using the pages 5.6 for writing a book?

Hello

Someone at - it advice for using the current version of Apple's Pages to write a book?

Writing my last book in the old version of Pages with internal links/bookmarks function.  The table of contents allows, however I was wondering if the use of the pages is the way forward?  And if not, what are some suggestions on a Mac?

Thank you, Tony

Have you looked at Scrivener (http://literatureandlatte.com/).  It is designed specifically for writers of all kinds of materials.  It is useful for the Organization, research and multimedia, shaped for different destinations and hundreds of models available.  It is generally considered to be the tool first word forge to the authors.

He has a bit of a learning curve, but it comes with a tutorial and a number of videos.  There are a lot of 3rd party videos and several courses on Udemy and elsewhere.  Once you use it, however, it is unlikely that you will return in a word processor or a publishing tool (which have two very different objectives).  There is a community of support for users, too.

Good luck.

  • Using the page as a condition for interactive report item value

    Hello. I add a button named edit in one of the interactive report column. This button should be displayed under certain conditions. Conditions are 1) If the user is Mencis and 2) value of the page called P2_DUMMY is 2. The value of P2_DUMMY is to 2 when a button is clicked. I defined a dynamic action for this. The problem is that I don't know what the condition of being added to the interactive report query.


    I tried

    < span > edit </span > < / button > ' END I just get errors.

    Combine the predicates in the CASE expression by using an AND condition:

    case
      when    :app_user = 'Mencis'
          and :p10_dummy = 2
      then
        ''

    Hardcode a condition like the :app_user = 'Mencis' is likely to prove problematic for all sorts of reasons, not least including the value of APP_USER is uppercase by default, unless otherwise during authentication.

    Note that the semicolon and extra double quotes in are not valid.

  • How can I reduce the size of the Solution Explorer window when you save a web page by using the Page save (Ctrl + S)?

    Save the Page (Ctrl + S) used to open a small window of the Explorer (Windows 7 OS). All of a sudden (after update for FireFox 37.0.1), it opens a window of browser enlarged (full screen). The passage of the mouse on the window edge, arrows a size change appear, but do not meet the drag. How make the window smaller, or reset the Page save (Ctrl + S) so that it opens a small window again?

    You can open the system menu of the window selector to file via Alt + space to check if the window is not maximized?

  • Firefox uses the page host internet explorer after restarting the PC, even if I change again, it passes every time

    I use a laptop for my work. I have internet explore what is necessary for our things work related and internet intranet explore uses the intranet homepage of our work. I also use firefox and want to use a different home page (IE Bing, google, whatever...). So things work related I use IE, for web browsing of non-working, I use firefox. Recently whenever I reboot my PC and launch firefox, firefox uses my Explorer (working on the intranet) home page internet. I then easily reset on my preference (bing.com) and as long as the PC is on, if I close and Open firefox it keeps bing.com as my home page. I could do this 20 x and it will keep the bing.com homepage. However when I shut down and restart the PC, firefox goes back to the use of the IE homepage (on the intranet of the work). Is there a permanent way to fix this. Our IT Department has been no help. Started a week before what is happening they upgraded our computers to internet explore 11. I tried to reset Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

    Hi hunted, something is change or replace your prefs.js file.

    Maybe you can thwart it by creating a user.js file. This file is read at startup of Firefox and replace prefs.js. Basically, it only needs a single line, if you could open prefs.js in a text editor after you have corrected to the homepage preference, use Save as to create user.js and then remove all the lines and save/close.

    Fac586 thank you very much for your reply,

    Sorry for the unclear issue, I will make you understand.

    My requirement is to navigate between the pages.

    I have a form with field x and a button to send in the same region.

    whenever you press submit, it should check

    If x = 1 then

    GoTo page 3

    elsif x = 3 then

    GoTo page 4

    on the other

    GoTo page5

    To do this, I created a dynamic action using the code below.

    Begin

    If: P5_x = 1 then

    HTP.p (utl_http.request (": http://application-tier server: port/apex/f?")) p = 159:3'));

    Always make the same mistake.

    This is completely the wrong approach for normal inter-page navigation in the APEX. The use of dynamic action is not here. In this situation use branches for navigation, with conditions to control which branch is used according to the logic that you need...

  • Need some tips on using the field

    I'm a bit of a newbie in this aspect of RoboHelp and could use some advice.  We use RoboHelp 9.0.1.262 on Windows for a Microsoft HTML project.

    Help, I work with the Basic uses of the project sensitive context help (linked pages with pop-up windows), on each page of the interface of the software (Help button) and help on the fields and the other buttons field (click on the? mark). Developers have already added using software and sent me a text string and a value digital (or hex) pay-per-view to. I wrote the help and created the text file using the field. Everything works except the help of the field.

    The sheet of cheats, drafted by the previous writer explained that you need to create a text file called < tout_nom > .txt this help in the format text:

    .topic HIDC_OPTIONS_EXAMPLE

    Sample text for the field.

    Each entry is separated by a blank line imported into the project in the folder 'what is' in the project configuration module. I created a < tout_nom > .h file and imported into the map files folder. The format is:

    #define HID_OPTIONS_EXAMPLE 0x82bd0002

    #define HIDC_BROWSE_EXAMPLE 0x82bd1b5a

    Each entry is on a new line and the text string are separated hexadecimal number by a tab. The chain and the tab I have been given by development. Once compiled, I just get 'No help on this field' when I test it against the software. What Miss me? Processes only the doc of RoboHelp with a tool to create a separate project. Is this necessary? The writer who wrote the cheat sheet has not used one with RoboHelp 7.

    Thanks in advance. I worked on getting this past few days without success.

    To finish this thread, I found the problem. Something simple that I didn't know, as you can imagine. Amoungst all the context IDs (1084 of them), there were a couple that have not been mapped. There is no place for me to look like any other program I used is quite robust not not to break completely because of something as simple. Not robohelp, apparently. Even if the IDS not mapped had nothing to do with the areas in question, they broke the What's this? help so completely that nothing worked.  I am surprised and dismayed. What a waste of time.

  • Publish everything using the Page delete OPS

    Hello

    I created a table and ran the VO.
    Now, I want to remove the lines by clicking on an image.

    So I created an item and value
    Element properties
    ---------------------
    ID: remove
    Style point: image
    Disable Validation on the server side: true
    Disable Validation on the Client side: true
    Fast: delete
    The URI of the image: deleteicon_enabled.gif
    Action type: fireAction
    Event: remove
    Parameters: (name) (value) R12OperatingUnit ${oa. BLTARBOUMAPEOView1.R12OperatingUnit}
    Submit: true

    I wrote the Code as
    PFR
    ---
    {if ("Delete".equalsIgnoreCase (PageContext.GetParameter (EVENT_PARAM)))}
    String R12OperatingUnit = pageContext.getParameter ("R12OperatingUnit");
    System.out.println (R12OperatingUnit);
    am.invokeMethod ("deleteOU", new [Serializable] {R12OperatingUnit});
    }

    AM
    --
    {} public void deleteOU (String R12OperatingUnit)
    OAViewObject VOB = getBLTARBOUMAPEOView1 ();
    Line row = VOB.first ();
    {while(Row!=null)}
    {if ((Row.GetAttribute("R12OperatingUnit").) Equals (R12OperatingUnit))}
    Row.Remove ();
    getOADBTransaction () .commit ();
    throw new OAException ("Deleted Succesfully", OAException.CONFIRMATION);
    }
    Row = VOB. Next();
    }
    }


    But I get the error message like
    * "Java.lang.NullPointerException *"
    * to xxbilt.oracle.apps.ak.BLTARBOUMAP.server.BLTARBOUMAPAMImpl.deleteOU(BLTARBOUMAPAMImpl.java:69). "


    In the PFR, the R12OperatingUnit string is returned as NULL.

    Please advice.


    Thanks in advance,
    Roselyne

    HI Flo,

    Please use the following code

    OAViewObject VOB = getBLTARBOUMAPEOView1 ();
    int fetchedRowCount = VOB.getFetchedRowCount ();

    RowSetIterator deleteIter = VOB.createRowSetIterator ("deleteIter");
    If (fetchedRowCount > 0)
    {
    deleteIter.setRangeStart (0);
    deleteIter.setRangeSize (fetchedRowCount);
    for (int i = 0; i)< fetchedrowcount;="">
    {
    line = (EmployeeSummaryVORowImpl) deleteIter.getRowAtRangeIndex (i);

    For performance reasons, we generate ViewRowImpls for all
    Objects in view. When we need to get an attribute value,
    We use the accessors appointed instead of a generic string search.

    Number primaryKey = (Number) row.getAttribute ("EmployeeId");
    Number primaryKey = row.getEmployeeId ();
    If (primaryKey.compareTo (empToDelete) == 0)
    {
    It performs the deletion.
    Row.Remove ();
    getTransaction () .commit ();
    break; only one selected line in this case
    }
    }
    }
    Always close the iterator when finished.
    deleteIter.closeRowSetIterator ();
    } / / end deleteEmployee

    It's delete example of sample tutorials

    Your logic in AM is wrong as always you delete the first line.

    You need through the lines in the original Version, and when you find the exact line with a primary key as employeeId in the example above. You must remove this line

    In your case, it should compare the R12OrgId1 parameter with the corresponding value in each iterated line

  • A page by using the Page zero stop

    I have an Apex (v 4.2) application that uses a zero page and one level of navigation tabs. Is it possible to create a new page that still use the navigation tabs, but does not inherit page zero?

    Or can I create a 'different' page zero and have pages that inherit instead?

    Hello

    Go to each component in the page-0 and go on 'Conditions', select 'Type of Condition' as 'current Page is NOT in the Expression 1 (delimited list of pages). And in 'Expression 1', you can enter a list of the pages that the component should not be returned.

  • Using the page curl but not effect page navigation icons

    I want to create an online magazine where the page curl is available.

    It works very well.

    I also want to add navigation to page down icons so that users can edit pages.

    The problem is that page icons are part of the effect of curvature of page.

    Is it possible to use the hemmed page and do not make the icons on page?

    You mean like this:

    http://www.edocker.com/_demo/edocker-online-demo/index.html

    I m afraid can´t you place your navigation out of the page using InDesign area only. I think it was possible in InDesign CS4 but changed when CS5 is out.

    With CS5 or CS5.5 you only option is to use solutions like eDocker third 3rd...

  • Change the Page numbers and Sections in a book once it's underway?

    CS5.5

    10.6.8 MacBookPro

    I'm working on a book of 450-500 pages with 4 chapters, 150 + images full page of text, end and beginning of information (title page, preface, introduction, table of contents, annexes, glossary, end notes).

    I booked three chapters using the InDesign book feature, now works on the bits before and end and a final chapter (actually Chapter 1).

    I watched the excellent video of Michael Murphy on the feature of the book, and it adds the page numbering and sections before he created the model. I make them after I have chapters in the book.

    A question:

    How can I add a separate paging once I have booked several chapters?
    I also want to add an article and before any style i, ii, iii, etc., and after 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

    Second question

    How can I add the title of the book to all the pages in the left hand and the title of the chapter on the right pages now? I've never done it in InDesign, and my attempts after reading aid do not work even on a chapter outside the service book. In the book feature, I don't know yet how to start.

    Thank you very much!

    A question: same thing if you are working on a single document to create a doc of island new section where you want and adjust the figures. Numbering book will adjust when you synchronize the numbers in the book panel.

    Two Qusruib: put this stuff on master pages. Title of the book is not likely to change from page to page, then type this information in a text block. To the chapter title, use a running Header Variable (see variables in the help).

  • I want to restore the size of normal printing for everything on my computer. I tried using the page (text size) and it did nothing, can you help me?

    text size problem

    I'm not sure what means 'normal' - I assume that means you had recently but has changed.  Do a system restore to a point at the time the text was the right size and format you want - BEFORE it changed to what you don't want.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days worth of restore points.  If this does not work at first, try a previous restore point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software or updates installed between now and the point of restoration - but you can make updates through Windows Update.

    As an alternative, you can go to start / Control Panel / customization / display settings / and set the resolution to a different setting.  Click on apply, and it will ask you if you really want to change based on what you see now.  Click on your answer and either output or try another setting.  It is a more difficult way to do a system restore because it is difficult to choose the same size you had before.

    Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
