I think the method is to create a template document with the font and fontsize you want, and open that.

Howdy.

While Pages has style sheets it isn't the same as Microsoft Word which
has a "normal" style sheet where you could change the default font.

Pages uses Templates so in a sense it is a bit of a hybrid between a
word processor and a page layout program.

To create a custom Template with the font of your choice, a font which
will be the default font for the custom Template, open a document in
Pages, then immediately change the font and font size and font style to
suite your needs.

Then save this document as a Template and assign it a name.

For example, you could change the font to an Adobe OpenType Baskerville
14 point bold. Then choose the File menu and pick the Save as Template
… command.

Name the document some like Baskerville custom (Pages adds the
.template extension), and it will be saved into Pages folder for
Templates.

Then each time you want to open a new blank document you can pick the
My Templates and click your Baskerville custom.template and it opens
and the default font (only for this Template) is Baskerville 14 point
bold.

The developers of Perian, the free and extremely popular video
format extender for QuickTime, have announced that they are ceasing
work on the project. In a statement on the project�s Web site, the
developers have said that it�s time to move on, their goal of
making video content playback easier on the Mac having been met.

Organizing my digital photos

Posted by: "James Robertson" jamesrob@sonic.net   jamesrob328i

Tue May 22, 2012 5:38 am (PDT)



I work on 2 Macs: at home, a Mac Pro, and at work and while traveling a MacBook Pro.

I'd like to be able to work on my digital photo library on both machines, but because I haven't figured out how to keep access to the same info from both machines, I basically have a digital mess on each of them (lots of photos with the camera's default folder names in the "~/Pictures" folder on each of them, with some of those imported into iPhoto already, some not).

I think iPhoto Library Manager is the tool I need to bring some order out of this chaos, but I don't know where to put the merged library. Some people suggest Dropbox, but I suspect I'd balloon past my current 3.5 GBytes of storage quite quickly. This still seems an attractive option, however, because I'd have "same machine" (fastest) access to my library from each Mac.

Network access to a library on the Mac Pro would be another option, but that wouldn't work without constant internet access, and there are lots of places I go with the MacBook Pro where I don't have network access for hours or days at a time.

An external drive attached to the MacBook Pro is another option, but that means stuffing more cables and the drive itself in my laptop travel case. A variant of this, I guess, would be to keep the master library on the MacBook Pro because I'll always have it with me, at home OR away, and I can access the library over my LAN whenever I'm at home (I have 1000bT Ethernet). I have no idea what the performance penalty would be for accessing my library over my LAN as compared to having the library on the Mac Pro, however.

Surely others must have dealt with this dilemma. Does anyone here have experience-based advice on which of these solutions, or perhaps another, makes the most sense?

And, as I try to bring order out of chaos, does anyone have recommendations for a program that will search through my hard drives to find the many duplicates (both of individual images and whole folders of images) I almost certainly have on each of the two Macs so that I can get rid of the duplicates before importing my thousands of unorganized images into an iPhoto '11 library?

Hi Jim,

Have you considered storing your photo library/catalog on a USB flash drive that can easily move between computers without the need for cables? Obviously a first step would be to determine your capacity needs, but it sounds like you may be in the "few GB" range. Here's a 32GB drive for $13!

http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?sl=VDd1T01nb0JDamdBQUhUbW5hY0FBQUFF&item=NIUSB32GBK

You then just need to launch iPhoto holding down the option key to show it where your library is, and you only have to do that once per computer.

Hope this helps!
Dane
