Help with Pages, Word transition, and EndNote - please.

In trying to transition to Pages from Word, I have encountered several problems. I would be ever so appreciative if people could advise on solutions:
1. The autocorrect function does not support formatted text. Is this correct?
2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function. The suffix box can be used for page numbers but it means inserting a space before the numeric entry. These would then need to be removed at a later date. Is there a work around on this?
6. There doesn't seem to be anyway to import Word documents with embedded Endnote citations - ie. keeping the citations 'live'. This causes two problems.
a) It would mean redoing entire documents, which is concerning.
b) It would also imply that there would be problems if the document was exported from Pages to Word for another user and then reimported in Pages.
7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
If anyone can offer advice or solutions to any of the above problems, I would very grateful.

Are you saying the formatting is lost or that it won't correct formatted text? Because neither is true to my knowledge.
2. I don't seem to be to change the default font from Helvetica to Times Roman? Is this correct?
The font is whatever was set in the template you start with. So create a template to your liking.
3. There doesn't seem to an auto-save function where Pages can be set automatically backup at predetermined intervals.
Pages does not have auto-save, nor needed it in my experience. Use the freeware EverSave, which will do the job for *all applications*.
4. Embedded Endnote citations do not seem to reflect changes in the Endnote Library - e.g a spelling correction.
5. The Endnote menu doesn't have a page reference number adjacent to 'prefix' and 'suffix' with the edit citation function.

I don't use Endnote so can't comment.
7. There doesn't seem to be anyway to set the spell-check and grammar functions for personal style or technical level.
There is a personal dictionary to which you can add your own spellcheck words, but nothing beyond that to my knowledge.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and see what you can find for further information. Best of luck.

  • Can anyone help with a Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 combine files problem?

    Hi all 
     This may be a setup problem but I was unable to find an answer. 
    I have many word documents that use a style as Heading 1, 2 and 3. What I normally do is to use the Adobe option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and then select the documents I want and press combine. Adobe then combines all the documents into a single PDF taking all my headings (styles) and converts them into bookmarks.
    I should say that is how I worked until a month ago. 
    My company upgraded my computer and reinstalled Adobe. Now I have the following problems: 
    The option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" is no longer available from the Windows Explorer context menu. It is available from within Adobe.
    When I use the option from within Adobe, it does not take the headings into account, so it does not create bookmarks from the styles.
    When I create a PDF from within Word, I first check the Adobe Preferences and make sure that the "Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks" option is checked and that my heading styles are checked. Clicking "Create PDF" creates the PDF that I want.
    By the way, I am using Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9.

    You need to define cell styles for your header and footer rows. Unfortunately there is no setting for cell height. You can force it by using a fixed First Baseline Offset combined with Top and Bottom Insets. This will produce rows that are 1p3 high:

  • Help with Pages / Word conversion, please

    I am trying to use iPad to take meeting notes. I've been using Word for a while, and storing notes in Google Drive for fast access.
    I ran into four problems so far:
    It appears Word Outline mode is not supported. Probably nothing I can do here. But if there's a workaround, I'd love to know.
    If I use some common fonts (like Tahoma) to create Word document, the conversion to pages will preserve formatting (bold and italic), but the conversion from pages will lose it. Some other fonts (Helvetica) seem to preserve formatting OK. Is there a fix, or should I just use Helvetica everywhere ?
    This is important to me: If I have spaces in the name of the file, they get removed on conversion, e.g. "May 14 meeting notes" become "may14meetingnotes". This is very annoying, is there a way around it ?
    For some reason, Google Docs viewer chokes on .docx files converted by Pages. The same files open fine in Word, and if re-uploaded open fine in Google Doc Viewer. Again, any fix ?
    If you can recomment an alternate, inexpensive or freeware rich text editor that can create .doc or .rtf files which have better Word and Google Drive compatibility, I'd appreciate that. What I am primarily looking for is basic formatting (bold / colors, even italics aren't important), outlining (bullets, at least), and search function. Tables would be great but not necessary.
    CloudOn does support many more functions, but it's slow to start, and last time I checked it only worked online. I need to be able to type things offline.
    Thanks !

  • In need of help with Shockwave from experts and community please.

    I have seen posts where people are having the same issue with Chrome, but I am using Windows 8 playing my FB games using Firefox. I have filled out their little "box" that they ask me to about 10 times and I am over it. I went to see if my Adobe SW was installed right, but it doesn't show anything moving. The strange thing is...I had already uninstalled it and reinstalled it the day before. I do have screen shots that I would like to share, and I am asking if anyone else is getting this same error.
    ***What happens is I will be playing my game and then "poof" out of nowhere the 2 tabs I had opened are gone and I am back to my desktop.
    ***Another issue that comes up all the time, and then the tabs will close, is that a small rectangular box will come up and it goes away so fast you don't get a chance to read it.
    But as I said I have screen shots.
    Everything on my computer is up to date, my husband works in the IT field and he can build a computer from the guts up. That's how I know it is not on my end. Y'all don't know how much I really do appreciate the fact that you took the time to read my post and any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
    Have a very great day,

  • Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers?

    Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers? I tried to do what the videos say but the little icon for versions is not there on word. Does this mean it only works for pages etc... or do i have to activate it somehow? If it is only for pages then this ***** and should be better advertised!!!

    Each application will need to be updated to work with Versions, Full Screen, and other Lion-specific features.

  • Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

    Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer.  Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem.  Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct.  Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off.  Would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sincerely appreciate your help.  Running Windows 7 on a  Dell XPS420.  System has been very stable for years.  Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems.  The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints. 
    Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
    Will let you know how things go.

    new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

    See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy.

We have said thousand times that mixing dif. brand/make/speed memories is a bad idea, most with this Mobo that is very picky about ram.

  • Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

    hello, everyone.
    I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
    and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
    inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
    obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
    incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
    figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
    one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
    the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
    texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
    pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
    create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
    amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
    that made that site created a new size background every time he
    made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
    the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
    site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
    tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
    this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
    tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
    general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
    link to a good tutorial?
    please help me. i am very confused.
    thanks so much.

    IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:

    Total page size: 454K (Check here:
    www.websiteoptimization.com)
    Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
    size of ~80K
    Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
    they suggest,
    "You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
    as you speak
    about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
    effectiveness?"
    That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
    "Believing people
    care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
    expansively, "Our site
    tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
    how we're going
    to solve your problems."
    www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
    website actually
    attractive and usable at the same time.

  • Please help with page numbering!

    Right, so I'm writing my thesis and need to insert different types of page numbering (note: I'm using Pages '09 4.3)
    I've split the document up by inserting sections:
    Section 1: Glossary of Abbreviations, List of Figures. These must be numbered, but on a Roman numeral system. This section begins on page 4, but page 4 should actually read page 'i', page 5 'ii', page 6 'iii', and so on.
    Section 2: Main body of text. This must also be numbered, but using Arabic numbers. This section begins on Page 8, but I want page 8 to read page '1', if you see what I mean.
    My problem: while I've succeeded in inserting  Arabic numbering at Section 2, I cannot do the same for Section 1. Each time I try to insert the Roman numerals using 'Insert > Auto Page Numbers...' it just numbers the WHOLE document that way! I can't manually type in the numeral at the footer of each page either, because when you change one footer it changes all the footers within a section!
    I've gone on every forum, tried everything I've read, but it STILL WON'T cooperate. This should be the easiest thing in the world but I can't seem to do it! I'm going insane. I beg you, if I can't solve this soon I'll overheat and throw this stupid computer out of the window. Please, PLEASE help!

    I tidied all that up and added it to the iWorkTipsnTricks forum.
