Remove Header Columns

Forget about the three-panels in the heading.

• View > Layout Mode
• Insert Text Box
  • Create your own header
  • Color fill > White
• Use the blue guides to align on both document edges, then expand slightly more on each end
• Drag the Text Box over the top of the three-panel heading. Adjust to suit.
• View > Hide Layout Mode

Note, do not move this Text Box Object to Section Master, unless you want this heading effect on every document page.

This effect survives export to PDF and Word documents.

In Pages 6.0, you can save do the following

1. create a blank document
2. export the document to Page 09 format
3. close the blank document
4. open the newly exported document in Pages
5. now you have a single column header but you can't go back to 3 columns. if you need multi-lines 3 columns, you can insert text boxes and position them with tabs

You can also export the blank document to Word format but it will also include all the default styles for a Word document.

Note: I do not know how long this method will remain effective as Apple may change the behaviour any time.

Hi grahas;

Type for header in a text box.

Cut or Copy the text box.

Paste inside any column of the Header.

Adjust the text box by dragging it inside the Header.

Regards,

The way to avoid the innumerable problems in Pages 5 is to not use it.

Use Pages '09.

I do it works so much better. But Pages '09 is beginning to have some issues under Yosemite.

More so than Pages 5.5.1?

Is that possible?
