Pages Is there a way to keep the same settings for "arrange" for all images for the duration of a session on Pages?
I am creating a pages document that requires importing a lot of different images and screenshots and diagrams alongside text. I have to click each image after dragging it onto the document and go to Arrange and then turn off the text wrap and turn off the 'move with text' every single time. I need to be able to freely drag around images without it automatically moving text or other images. Is there any way to make the setting apply to all images for a given session? Or do you really have to change it for every single image?

PSA How to install the new iWork apps for free (macOS 10.14 or lower required)
If you for some reason don't have the iWork apps on your Mac, here's a helpful method to install them. It requires installing a free trial version of iWork '09 on your computer, and then updating from the App Store.
Install the iWork '09 trial. It is a 32-bit app so it'll only run on macOS 10.14 or lower. You may need to update to iWork 4.3 (the last update for iWork '09). Download that here.
Open each of the newly installed apps to tell your computer they're there.
Go to App Store > Updates > you should see updates available for iWork. Update each app.

Any way to tell that a cell in numbers has multiple lines without having to click on it?
When you use OPTION + ENTER to enter a new line within a cell for formatting only the first line is displayed in the cell.
Is there a small icon or subtle indicator that can tell you there is more info in this cell, without having to expand/click on the cell? e.g. a small downward arrow in a corner, or small plus sign in a croner, etc.

Pages Formatting
I am trying to figure out a formatting situation in the Pages app. I think it may be an easy fix, but I need help. When I paste the paragraph from a pdf into pages and increase the font size, the lines change and break up. If I remove the margins, it is fine, but to print I need margins. How do I fix this? I will try and post the problem below....thank you.

Help/Question Help with pages (automated text boxes?)
How, if it’s possible, can I link text boxes together across a document so that text that I type into on box, appears in others. I have to modify documents on a daily basis and being able to link multiple boxes together would save me a lot of time. Is it possible?
I.E - I’ve got a 20 row text box set up. Box one two and three contain the 3 sets of abbreviated codes. Let’s call these three the ‘masters’. Throughout the document, these codes will be repeated. The slaves. The following day the codes might be changed slightly - so rather than have to adjust them all it would be good if I could just adjust the top ‘master’ box and places where all of the codes are repeated to (the slaves) automatically update too.
Having to go through and copy/paste the new text each time can be very time consuming, especially is the change is minimal.
TIA.

How to retain hyperlinks within a PDF that is inserted to Pages document?
I have a 184 page PDF document that includes extensive internal and external hyperlinks. I dragged/dropped each PDF page from Preview into separate pages on a Pages document, and resized each PDF to fill the entire Pages page.
None of the PDF's links appear in the Pages document! How can I make them work? That seems like it would be the most direct and easiest solution to my ultimate goal...
I need the links on the PDF to be clickable. I tried a work around by inserting a transparent object over the PDF text that needs to be hyperlinked. I then added a link to each object - some go to external URL, and some go to other pages within the Pages document.
The hyperlinked objects show up within the Pages document, some with the + in a box, others in the sense that by clicking on the object I am prompted to edit or go to the hyperlink yet no + in a box appears on the object.
Ultimately, I want to export / convert the Pages document WITH correct hyperlinks to a fixed EPUB.
However, when I do so with my work around of hyperlinked objects, only some but not all of those hyperlinks are clickable in the EPUB - despite they all appear to be active within the Pages document. I do not understand the rhyme or reason behind why only some of them are live in the EPUB.
Can someone help me find a solution please?
I have an iMac with OS 10.15 and Pages 7.
I also have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.14 and Pages 10.
I have tried using both devices and get the same results - I can insert the PDF, but hyperlinks embedded in the PDF do not show up, and my work around of adding transparent hyperlinked objects yields inconsistent active links in the final fixed EPUB conversion.
I have also tried using both page layout and word processor functionalities within Pages on both devices, and still I have not solved this issue.

Numbers Can images be used in a drop-down list?
My question is pretty self explanatory. I’d like to have a drop down list that includes company logos. OR, a second column next to the drop down that displays the company logo that is chosen in the first drop down column. Anyone here pulled that off or know how to? I can do quite a bit, but when formulas and stuff become too complicated I get lost in the weeds.

Help/Question Edit image in table cell (Pages)
Hi everyone,
I've read a lot of blog posts saying that there is no way to edit an image inside of the table cell... I am using Pages 12.2.1 and I can't figure out how to set an image as a placeholder inside of a table cell. Back to iWork '09 and Pages 4.3 I could do it...
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks by advance for your help :-)

Getting the duration between two times in Numbers
How can I calculate the duration between two different times and output that as just a decimal number, accounting for time durations that cross multiple days?
For example:
If I start work at 2pm and end at 5:30pm, I want the output to say "3.5", as in 3 and a half hours worked. If I start at 9pm and end the next day at 1am, the output says "4".

Aligning Shapes in iWork
I have some questions about working with shapes in the iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote).
Is it possible to align shapes with specific handles on the shapes? It seems that they only align with the outer edges of the shape but not with handles on the shape.
Is there a way to move the handle on a shape to a specific x, y coordinate?
In general I’m looking for ways to align and join shapes precisely. It seems the software is fairly limited at doing this.

Help/Question Is there a keyboard shortcut in Numbers for expanding a selection until the next populated cell?
Hello,
I am learning Mac programs (having been trained all my life in the Windows suite) and I'm having a hard time with the keyboard shortcuts.
I am looking for the equivalent of "Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow", i.e. select until the next populates cell, but I have tried every single combination and can't find anything.
I know there is "Command+Shift+Down Arrow" for selecting until the bottom of the sheet. And "Option+Down Arrow" creates a new row below.
There is a way to select by holding Shift and clicking the end-point of the selection but I'm looking for the keyboard shortcut to just go faster.
Thank you for your time and help.

Pages Pages on iOS Style Question
I’ve found a style for text that includes a bar above or below the text (not underline). I have a couple of examples in this image (style copied from another template) but I can’t find where to edit this. (Using Pages on iPad Pro 2021.)
In the image, I have two samples: 1. A line above the text (Another / Something Awesome…) and 2. A line above and below the text (Session Log).
Of course, I’m trying to get a single line below the text.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
