Hey guys,
I,ve been having a play with Pages '08 (had my mac for a few months but have only just got around to trying to learn iWork)...
I can't seem to get templates to behave properly... and have a few questions to clarify what i'm doing...
1) i started with one of the default templates, but switched the image at the top left for my company logo, i then changed the text in the left margin which was basically contact information, then made sure both of these were moved to the "selection master" - now i assumed this would mean they would appear on every successive page, but this isn't the case, when i get to the next page, it all reverts to the original design despite bits of that being deleted and changed... i did notice however that if i insert a section break, my proper design becomes the template for that next page...
i know there must be something i'm doing wrong... anyone know what it is?
2) is there anyway to resize the main text box in the middle? i want it to go only about 2/3 down the page as i have inserted a permanent fixture text box in the bottom portion...
3) i have noticed some words are kinda fixed... if i click on some words the whole thing gets highlighted like an object and individual letters cannot be changed, meaning the only thing you can do to edit it is delete the whole word... what is going on there? i can see it would be useful for templates but i would like to be able to set my own "locked words" - anyone know how to do this?
right well thats all the questions on my mind
can anyone help me out?
(preferring it a lot to word by the way
)
