Print Layout

It was explained several times that some features are linked to the operating system.

So, if you use these features, they will not be reflected if the rendering tool is not under Mac OS X.

Not being an Office/Word user, I'm not sure what "Print Layout" is. The picture you linked is the normal view in Pages. Here's a screenshot of two pages in word processing mode with layout showing. Even if I turn the layout off, I still see the margins & page breaks.

Hi BabaO,
If you're attempting to see the same as what your linked print then click View > Show Layout. Or click at the top left first icon View, it will give you numerous choices, click Show Layout, if it reads Hide Layout then click that.

If you're thinking MS Word Normal view, no, Pages doesn't have that view. Pages is a WYSIWYG.

Hope this helps you.

Hi BabaO,
Yep, we are creatures of habit. As for unpinning the left side of Pages, no-can-do. Coming from other Word processors not being able to center the page would seem a strange thingy. I've become used to it not noticing it until a poster makes a comment about it.

A suggestion is to directly contact Team Pages, click at the top left Pages > Provide Pages Feedback. Explain your thoughts however, they won't respond. We here on these discussion forums are all endusers not affiliated with Apple.

Again have fun here.

Pages 4/iWork '09 has a "full screen" view that centers the blank page in the middle of your screen & blocks out everything else. You can access the toolbar & menus by moving your mouse up to those areas to make them appear.

Hi Peggy,
You're correct, Pages '09 has full screen view. That view covers the entire screen replacing access to the desktop. Press Esc to return to the normal Pages screen.

A MS Word document appears centered in its own window with equal amount of spacing left and right of the document. It's different than Pages, not better. Switchers from MS Word have asked in numerous threads about the Pages screen. It's just what one has become accustom.

I prefer Pages way of presenting both normal screen and full screen; full screen is uncluttered.

Cordially,

Hello everybody
I thought Pages 09 was WYSIWYG but it doesn't seem to be.
When trying to print a document based on a template (Invitation card) some parts don't print althought in the outline alle the parts shows and in PDG too. I couldn't manage to have all the parts of the page printed and couldn't figure why.
Do you have any hint?
Thanks

Which Invitation template, there are several - which all have names, and which parts didn't print?
