iWork, Pages Layout Help

[tj2001]

I'm trying to formatting a skeleton template for reports using MLA style. I am creating the cover page, a single blank page, and a resources cited page at the end. I don't want the header or footer on the cover and citation pages, so, how do I remove them from just those pages? I only want the header and footer on the actual report pages for page count and course #.

Thanks for anyone that guides me to fixing this.

You might try inserting a section break, which is usually what you'd use to set up different section numbering, headers, footers, etc.

I seen this exact info in the Help files for Pages, but unfortunately it uses the previous pages layout, which is fine, but how do you remove a header from that page. Exactly how do you select the header as a unit and not just the text inside it so that I can delete the entire header off a page after I've used a section break?

Once you've created a new section, go to it, then in the Inspector select the columns section, and choose Sections. There's a checkbox there that lets you select to use (or not) the previous headers and footers.

Thank you so much! I'm not quite sure how I got it, but something you suggested to me has corrected the document's layout exactly how I needed it. Using a Section Break, then went in to the inspector and checked an option "First page is different", that seemed to do it; I also added a section break after the actual middle report pages.

Thank you very much for your help!

I have a pages layout issue that I need help with. When using double space for MLA format, it always puts an extra space between paragraphs. I'm not doing anything, other than hitting the enter key when done with a certain paragraph and the indent key when starting the next.

Open the Inspector, choose the "T", and change the After Paragraph spacing slider to 0.
