creating new keyboard shortcuts, and modifying toolbar

I apologize but, even with good glasses, I am unable to see the contents of a file stored in your Hard Disk 😉

Here it comes:





as you see, the "Stil löschen" is grey... :-((

Thanks

I get the same behavior in Pages '08
if there is no change to the selected item 😉

If I change something (apply italic for instance) the menu item is available.

It's logical.

If the attibutes aren't modified there is no reason to offer tha ability to define a new style from an unmodified one.

Yvan,

it is not possible! I changed the attributs of the saved textstyle. Same picture, same behaviour. Please, if you could take a look to the file. It is at: puplic.me.com/b.sperrfechter . Name of the file: test.

Thanks again and a lot

Bernhard

Yvan,

did you get the testfile?
and could you see the "un"logical ...?

Thanks in forward
Bernhrd

To be honest, at firt try I got "this page is unavailable"
so I dropped thinking "if he is unable to give a correct link, it's not my problem".

Then, looking one more time at your link, I discovered that you made a typo

"puplic.me" is wrong.

I edited it as
"public.me" and got a better result.

I downloaded the file, open it and got:



If you get an other behavior, it's that something is wrong on your system.

(a) As iWork is installed thru an Apple installer with receipts, it may be useful to run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
(b) it may be useful to get rid (trash) the preferences file:

<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist

(c) it may be useful to open the document from an other user account to see if you get the same odd behavior.
If you get, the oddity is in the commun set of system files.
If it behaves correctly from the new account, the odd item is in your original account set of files.

I'm also trying to switch from Word to Pages, not entirely successfully. The keyboard shortcuts problem is severe (Word's method of allowing the user to customize this is excellent), but a good workaround is to use a third-party macro program, if you can afford it. I've used QuicKeys for years and the latest version (X3) does nicely. It allows you to be a good deal more creative with keystrokes and options than the System Preferences method (which is also very good, just more limited).

And, by the way, the only feature of Word that I don't want is its unreliability and its contribution to Microsoft hegemony. Everything else, I'm used to, alas...

With that style I have no Problem, too!
Go down a little bit to Überschrift 2

Then you will probably see my problem!

I deleted the Preferences, no change at all.

Thanks
Bernhard

No need for Quickeys.
The operating system is fair enough to let us link a shortcut to _every application's menu items._

Just take time to learn howTo from the System's Help.

Yvan,

could you see the problem now?

Bernhard

Hi Yvan,

could you replay the prob!??
I think it is a "un"logical behaviour ;-))

The styles sometimes are creating copies by just clicking them...weird...!

But: How can I delete them...!??

May be the question stays unsolved.

Thanks
Bernhard

(a) no need to ask twice if I find the problem.
I'm not a slave, I'm not in front of my machine 24 hours a day !
I'm an end user like you.

(b) the difference is that when someone explains me something I take care of what I was said.

I wrote that the item is disabled if nothing was modified in the style
and that it was active if something was modified in the style.
It's what I got.

I clicked the item 2 Akkordstrukturen
then I clicked the style entitled:Überschrift 2
I clicked on the small triangle and the menu item was active.



I clicked on Redefine…
The look of the Überschrift 2 item changed reflecting the style of the selected piece of text which is the normal behaviour.

No new style created
Only standard behavior.

If you wish, I may write a script removing all the installed styles.
but it seems a bit rude to kill an inexistant problem.

Yvan
I´m sorry if I suggested any wishes.
I just want my problem fixed.
And I really apreggiate your extraordinary help!!
I really do.

May be I´m stupid, but I just wanted to delete the styles Überschrift 1+2!
And this is still not working.

If you could give me a script for uninstalling all styles this would be great, but you don´t have to!!
I know that your work here is free time work and you are not a member of the apple support.
So, again I would say you thank you for your impact.


So the best to you.
Thanks alot
Best wishes
Bernhard
