I am trying to put a border around a page of text and images, I used to use the Inspector but it is no longer available, how do I do this task
Ann,
The Text Inspector, More tab has a Border option for your text. I wouldn't say this is the best way to create a page border, but it's the only way that I can think of using just the Inspecor.
My preference would be to Insert a Rectangle, and set the fill to None.
Jerry
It seems you have closed the Inspector. Go View > Show Inspector
Thanks for your reply, but I do not have a view option, I have been through every field and it is not in pages?
It is a Menu at the top of your screen.
Peter
Hi Peter,
It is not there, therenis no Menu option on my screen
Ann
Although this started from a Help Topic about Pages, I wonder if the question is actually about Pages for iOS, because the newer versions of that application have apparently done away with the Inspector button, and replaced it with a brush icon to bring up a Styles Menu.
Ann
Can you please explain what it is you are using, you've really told us nothing.
Peter
hi Peter,
I have had pages for years and used it with Inspector, I have updated regularly but not need to use it until now and find it has changed and the inspector is not available just a paintbrush and + sign.
and cannot find the borders option that was in inspector.
Ann
So you are still not saying, but by implication you are actually using Pages for iOS.
You can tell the difference between an iPad and a regular Mac?
Peter
I think you are extremely rude Peter, and not quite as intelligent as you think you are
Ann
Ann you have a strange way of asking for help.
You give us nothing to go on, despite repeated requests to tell us what you are talking about.
Why?
Peter
Why is Peter rude? He is asking if you are using an ipad with Pages or a computer with Pages. What is the problem to answer the question?
Would it have been that hard for him to say: "Are you using an iPad or regular Mac? It would be easier to help if we knew exactly what you are using." As opposed to insulting Ann's intelligence and taking an extremely condescending tone?
And to Ann, it would probably be easiest--and would work on either system--to add a rectangle with no fill (as Jerry suggested). You can then adjust the size (8.5x11 - however indented you'd like), the style (color, dotted line, or whatever), etc. to your liking.
Thank you griffgriff2013 for your advice

"Would it have been that hard for" Ann to say what she was using after being repeatedly asked?
We have been doing support here a very long time. Posters get, fast, useful and accurate questions 99% of the time.
Unusually so in my experience.
Having to ask repeatedly for the same information is not uncommon, but that becomes apparent only after answering directly the questions that have been asked, to then discover that was not the real question or the poster, for some bizarre reason only known to themselves, is "not telling".
