This means this text box is now "linked" to the first text box. It will automatically fill in with a '2' (indicating it is the 2nd text frame in the thread.) But notice if you hover-over the '2', a tiny arrow appears. This means it is the 1st text box associated with your thread (a thread represents an article).Ĭreate a new text box and repeat by clicking the circle. Click that circle and it will turn into a number '1' and get a color assignment. When you create a new text box, if you select the box you'll notice the control points located not the sides and corners, and a round empty circle in the top-center of the box. Make sure you manually copy this text, create text boxes, and then paste your text into the text box(es). any text that was directly on a page (not within a text frame) will be lost. If you attempt to change the mode you will be asked to confirm that you really want to change. If Document Body is not enabled, you are in Page Layout mode and can only type text within a text-frame. If Document Body is enabled, you are in Word Processing mode (and can type directly on the page). Check to see if 'Document Body' is enabled.Select the 'Document' tab within the Document inspector panel.Select the 'Document' inspector panel icon on the tool-bar.The other method is to use the Document inspector. If you see "Convert to Word Processing" it means you are in Page Layout mode. If you see "Convert to Page Layout" it means you are currently in Word Processing mode. Navigate to the 'File' menu and you should notice a menu choice that will either say "Convert to Page Layout" or "Convert to Word Processing". There are two ways to perform the conversion (but I'm using Pages 10.1 and cannot promise this looked the same in Pages 8.1): This is something you have to do manually. It will not automatically create text boxes for you and move your text into those boxes. When you ultimately do perform a conversion from Word Processing mode to Page Layout mode, any text you had typed directly onto a page will disappear. It's probably worth doing some experiments with this to understand how it works before attempting to convert a document you care about (make a backup before you make any changes). You must drop a text box onto the page and then you can type inside the text box. if you create a new blank document, switch it to Page Layout mode, and then try to type. in Page Layout mode, you cannot apply text directly onto a page. This is true wether you are moving it to a new location within the same document, or copying it to a completely different document (assuming the destination document is also using Page Layout mode.)īefore you do this, beware the danger. If you move a page, the whole page and everything on it moves along with it and everything is exactly as you placed. but the advantage is that things go exactly where you want them.Īlso, in Page Layout mode, each page is a discrete thing. You do a little more setup to use Page Layout mode because you have to manually create and size your text frames where you want them. When a text frame is full, text automatically flows into and continues in the next text frame (provided you linked it to the same article). but you link text frames together if they all belong to the same article in the publication.
You manually added pages as needed and add more text frames as needed. If you run out of space, the frame will not automatically grow nor will new pages automatically get created.
Instead you create a text frame and place it on the page and type only within the frame. In this mode, you don't type directly onto a page. where you have multiple articles and an article might start on one page, but finish on a later page - even with other articles interspersed between them. Page Layout mode: This mode works like a publishing system and is easier to use if you are creating newspapers, newsletters, or magazine style documents.
If you delete some of the text from the first page, all text is moved up (including text from adjacent pages). If you reach the end of a page but continue typing, a new pages is added and you continue to type on the new page. In this mode, document text is added directly to the page.
