Combining Numbers documents with Pages documents

Is there a way to combine a document from each program to create, for example, a cover letter that includes a worksheet?
I've written a 2-page business letter in Pages and I have a 2-page worksheet document in Numbers that I would like to combine and send to someone as a single document. Ultimately, I will export to PDF because they very likely don't have iWork to view it, but I would like to avoid having to use Acrobat Pro to combine 2 PDF's into one.
Dragging a Numbers sheet into the Pages page list doesn't work. Adding a table to a Pages document doesn't allow me to preserve the formatting and calculations that are in the Numbers document.
Any advice would be welcome.

Not that I know of - it would be nice, eh? Your idea of dragging data from one to the other was a good start but perhaps you did it in the wrong direction. I know Numbers lacks paragraph styles but what happens if you copy the text you wrote in Pages and then paste it into a Text box in Numbers?

  • Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers as Snow Leopard does?

    Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers like Snow Leopard does? Or do I have to convert all my Appleworks files before installing Lion?

    Functionality of Pages and Numbers has little to do with whether it's runnong on Snow Leopard or Lion.  Either way, if they open an AppleWorks document in SL, they'll open it in Lion.  Of course, you have to understand that certain file types - particularly, AppleWorks databases - cannot be opened with anything other than AppleWorks, so you'll need to convert them with AppleWorks before upgrading to Lion.

    Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

    I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

  • Can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

    can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

    You can have multiple versions installed simultaneously.  It won't hurt to delete the '08 apps, because the '09 apps will convert '08 to '09, but there is no reason to do the deletion.
    You say that you have iWork '11.  If that's true, it's really big news.  More likely, you have iWork '09.

  • Pages 5.1 error "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first."

    When trying to open a Pages '08 file from a MacBook Pro in Pages 5.1 on an iMac, I get thr error message, "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first". I cannot locate a Pages '09 to use.  I can export the file from Pages '08 into a Microsoft Word Doc file and can open it then. How I do I solve the problem and open files in Pages 5.1?

    It is A solution that works if you don't have too many Page files to convert, but is very poor solution if trying to move everything off of the MacBook Pro to the iMac.  I don't necessarily need to open the 5 years of files, but if I need to look at something archived, I'm dead in the water.
    It doesn't make sense that a Mac can open a Microsoft product but cannot open a Mac product.  I can understand that a program is not forward compatibale, but almost all programs are backward compatible. This same problem appears with Numbers 3.1.
    Apple needs Microsoft as a solution?

  • Is there a way to combine 2 documents in Pages on iPad ONLY (no Mac)?

    I have written a report on my iPad using Pages (no template used, just the blank option) and would like to place a separate document (a sample letter written using one of the letter templates that uses different margins as the other document) at the end of the first document so the 2 are combined into one rather than having to send multiple documents out to my readers.  Is there a way to do this without having access to a Mac?  I found a explanation on how to do this elsewhere in this forum by cutting & pasting the thumbnail versions for each of the documents but I do not think this is applicable to the ipad version.  Can someone explain how to do this please?  If NOT possible on the ipad in Pages is there another document I could use to marry the two documents together?  They are complete and will not have to be edited or altered in any way once they are combined.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work.  The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page.  Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin. 
    They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one.  This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app.  Thanks anyway for your help.

  • Error message when trying to salve pages or numbers documents

    All of a sudden i get the following message when trying to save newly created pages or numbers documents into my documents folder
    "The file “Untitled.numbers-tef” couldn’t be opened". THis is for doocuments created from scratch.
    Can anyone please help?
    I'm relatively new to new to the iMac and OS so not sure if something has been set up incorrectly - but it's been working OK for approx 3 months.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I spoke too soon. I began a new movie and imported
    photo clips, which rendered just fine. However, I
    can drag transitions in between the photos, but they
    simply will not render. Everything was just swell
    until yesterday afternoon when I changed the length
    of the clips so that there would be enough room for
    the transition. I tried to do multiple clips at the
    same time, but they never rendered. It was then when
    I was unable to add any more transitions.
    Aha! That may be different problem. There's a bug in iMovie that makes it impossible to update image clips after you empty the iMovie trash. If you imported the image with the Ken Burns checkbox ON, the bug can affect you later.
    It's possible, I suppose, that this bug not only prevented you from updating the clips to a new duration, but made it impossible to add the transition to the clips.
    After importing your images with the Ken Burns checkbox on, you might try dragging the source image out of the iMovie trash, described here:

  • Problem with opening a Numbers document

    I have a problem with a Numbers document, which I created 3 weeks ago and step by step extended with additional functionality. I'm not anymore able to open the document. I can rename the document and maybe - I didn't try - delete the document. But when I'm clicking on the file's icon, the error message appears "Tabelle kann nicht geöffnet werden". It seems that the file is defect but how I it be revived. What steps I have to do to re-open the document?

    Check out that thread if you find it helpful. There are some cool ideas there.

  • How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

    How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

    Open the Playlist.
    File>Print.
    In the Print settings, select Save as PDF
    Open Pages and a new document
    Open the PDF with Preview or Reader
    Select ALL text in the PDF
    Copy
    Paste into the Pages document.
    That's a long way to do it unless you know of a way to import PDFs into iWork.

  • (semi-)automatically updating cells/tables in pages from a numbers document

    Hi,
    I've been googling around for a bit, but can't find out if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
    What I want to do is create a document in numbers (all the data for the invoices I send), then go to a standardized pages invoice and with a (couple of) click(s) generate the data from the numbers document.
    E.g.; I've done a job for someone, whereby I worked *2 hours* for €50/h = €100. They also pay my travelling costs, say 100km at €0.30/km = €30.
    Total amount excl. taxes = €130
    Add 19% taxes €24,70
    Total amount €154,70
    All the bold items would have to be in my invoice. I usually have a table in my invoice, so ideally I would crosslink cells from the the pages doc with the corresponding cells in the numbers doc and be able to update any changes I make from the numbers to the pages document with the click of a button.
    Is this possible within iWork '09?
    If so; how? If not; would it be possible with an external program?
    I'm now using MS Office, and my girlfriend knows how to do this between Word and Excel, but I don't want to always have to bother her for every invoice (it's not very easy, and I keep forgetting how to do it (and yes, I can write it down and look it up, but surely it should not be so hard to do someting like that on a Mac?)).
    Help is appreciated

    We may easily auto-fill a cell from the content of a cell of an other table.
    Assuming that we have sheet "Sheet 1" containing a table "Table 1"
    and
    a sheet "Sheet 2" containing a table "Table 1"
    In cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2, insert the formula :
    ="Sheet 1 :: Table 1 :: B12"
    When you will insert something in cell B12 of Table 1 of Sheet 1,
    the value will be automatically available in cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2.

  • I have a long numbers document, that I'd like to make more print friendly. It is a list of my DVD's that I just listed one after the other (1-200) when I tried to print it, it would be 18 pages, can I change it to be more like columns side by side to save

    I have a long numbers document, that I'd like to make more print friendly.
    It is a list of my DVD's that I just listed one after the other (1-200) when I tried to print it, it would be 18 pages,
    can I change it to be more like columns side by side to save paper?

    S,
    I assume that you also have Pages on your computer (or some other capable WP program). I also assume that you have eliminated any unnecessary columns, so you have a 1-column table in Numbers.
    When it comes time to print, Copy the entire Table: Click on the table name in the Sheets Pane and Command-C.
    Switch to Pages, open a blank WP template and set the number of columns to 3 or so. With the Text Insertion Cursor flashing on the first line of the first column of the blank template, Command-V. Your table should paste into the Pages document as an Inline Object and will Wrap on the page as you desire. Then Print in Pages.

  • Is there any way i can keep pages documents and numbers documents in the same file?

    Im trying to group pages and numbers documents in the same file is this possible?

    Not on the iPad itself, no. iOS apps keep their documents within each app itself. You would need to save the documents to a WebDAV server. Dropbox can serve this function if partnered with DropDAV. See:

  • Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

    This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

  • How to remove extra pages in  numbers document?

    It used to be, when creating a spreadsheet, you could begin with "Page View" so that one has parameters so as not to create extra pages in the document.  In using the latest version, I'm not seeing this.  Result:  I have 4 pages to my spreadsheet, but I only want the first page.  I can print just the first page,  but when I send the document, all 4 are sent.  The receiver ends up with a document out of sync!

    Hi 24road,
    After you click "Done" to return to your document, a layout guide will help you to arrange objects within the page margins.

  • All of a sudden, I can't export Pages or Numbers documents to a PDF

    I've been able to export all of my pages and numbers documents to PDF with no issues.  Now, all of a sudden it's giving me an error message and saying that I can not.

    The icons wouldn't even show on the device if they were restricted. Try downloading an app on the computer and syncing it over onto the iPad to see if that makes it works. If not, I'd likely recommend restoring as it would look like a software issue with the device.
