How to switch quickly between Pages documents?

Is there a way to switch quickly, back and forth, between open Pages documents. Similar to the "tabs" function in Safari.

We can't get that because the User Guides are translated by beings which never used the application.
They receive an English text and they must translate it in an other language.
I'm accustomed to that for years and I would be surprised if something changes in this area.
As far as I know, nobody in Apple France saw the localized iWork '09 before the day it was introduced.
I was asked to search oddities *_after the delivery_*
Some oddities available in iWork '08 French version are always here in iWork '09 and I'm not sure that they will be gone when we will get the next version.
It was the same for AppleWorks which I beta tested two times.
Tests where made upon the US version and all of us discovered the localized versions when they where delivered. In the Help, every examples of formulas where using the comma as parameters separators when the correct one was the semi-colon.
For sure, it's ridiculous but it's the way foreign customers are treated by Apple.
I'm remembering that I edited a resource dedicated to samples of functions.
With the edited resource, Swiss users where able to use the "insert functions" feature with the separator matching their system settings.
The problem is the same with iWork.
The delivered French version inserts functions with semi-colons between parameters, even is the user setting is "Swiss French" which use the decimal period and require the comma as separator.
Same behavior with Deutsch and Italian.
But not is completely bad.
I never succeed when I requested correct treatment of "curly quotes" in AppleWorks.
For info, the correct structure is *_« caractères chevrons »_* (the first space and the last one are required, at least for French of France).
I started to request them when I start using iWork '06.
They wheren't introduced by the different updaters but, hosannah, they are available in iWork '08.
In fact, we got only the quotes, not the required spaces.
So I requested again the spaces.
They wheren't introduced by the different updaters but, hosannah, they are available in iWork '09.
I remember that I wrote to Apple that I was surprised to see that their staff of engineers appeared to be less efficient than the single developer which was delivering Bean.

  • How to switch quickly between the native soundcard and USB speakers?

    My computer has two sound devices: one, the native sound card (which I use for my headphones), and an external pair of USB speakers. However, switching between them is a complicated task, mainly because I find almost no programs to do it:
    * GNOME Control Center, Sound section: What currently works for me, but can only be used within GNOME Shell or Cinnamon. It can be used from other sessions, though (for example Spectrwm), but it's very heavyweight to have the whole GNOME desktop solely to switch between sound cards.
    * KMix: Works only within KDE and nowhere else. What's more, to actually do the switch one must open the program, go to the options menu and select the soundcard (unlike GNOME, which is two clicks away from the status bar).
    * Pavucontrol: Kind of works, but only in a per-application basis. That is, I can't tell the system to start all current and future sound streams in X device. What's worse, I must wait until the application is open to actually do the switch.
    * XFCE4 Mixer: Doesn't work from outside XFCE. Even there, switching cards is not possible without literally editing a configuration file each time.
    * Alsamixer and GNOME Alsamixer: Can't switch sound cards at all.
    So, I'm still on the search of a lightweight program that can allow me to do something as simple as switching between my USB speakers and native headphones without much hassle. Is there anything else besides GNOME that can do the trick?

  • How do I save a pages document as a pdf to iPhoto?

    I recently purcahsed a new imac and have upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Under my old system: Leopard, in Pages 07, I was able to complete a document and then save it as a .pdf to iphoto.  When I upgraded to Lion, I lost this capability.  It was my understanding with the upgraded system (Mountian Lion and Pages 09) that I would once again have this feature but I don't see that option now.  Does anyone know how I can get a Pages document saved into iphoto?
    Thanks in advance:)

    Pages does not export to .png. You can export as a PDF then open the PDF in Preview & export as .png. A better way would be to select the content you want & copy then switch to Preview & go File > New from Clipboard & save that as a .png. You'll get a better result with the second method.

  • In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ???  How does one email a pages document.

    How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from. 

    Sounds like you are using Gmail.
    Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
    Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

  • How can I print a pages document in book format ..order?

    This is usually a function of the driver you're using. Have you looked in the various PDEs for black and white or grayscale? What kind of printer are you using?

  • How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

    I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format.  How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
    Is that what the export feature is supposed to do?  I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

    You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
    Pages ’09 v4+
    Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
    Pages v5+
    Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
    Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
    Backup your work.

  • How do I upload a Pages document (resume) to a website?

    How do I upload a Pages document, my resume, when it only gives the option to choose a file, no copy and paste option? And when I click choose file, pictures are the only thing that come up. Thank you for your help!

    I have the same situation and is becoming a big problem, not just for uploading a resume on a job web site like Monster or Career Builders. It has become a bigger problem as you can't upload any other kind of document or file to any web site!!!! I have an iPad 4 Retina Display 64G that cost me $800 and what is the purpose of downloading the Pages App if you can't download anything! Everybody saying, you need to email, or you need to get iCab, etc.
    I bought a Nexus 7 about a year before the iPad, for $249 and I can do everything with it with no problem and I bought later the iPad thinking that is a much more powerful tablet, dead WRORNG!!! iPad is only for Games, Netflix, Apple TV and to Keep you baby kids quiet.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

    I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

    Ashe,
    In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

  • How To Restore A Locked Pages Document ? ( I Forgot The Pass )

    How To Restore A Locked Pages Document ? ( I Forgot The Pass ) I Created A Documents Of My Personal Expense And Locked it So That No One Could See it !! But Apparently Now Even i Don't Remember The Pass So if Someone Could Please help Me On How To Regain Access of That Locked Documents ? ( Thanks in Advance )

    Once you set a Pages document password, you will need it again to unlock the document. There is no other available unlocking technique, as many before you have discovered. Tell your mind to recall your document password, and then stop trying to remember it. Let your subconscious retrieve it.
    In the future, keep a secure, analog list of your passwords as backup.

  • I am writing a book to be published.  how to i get my pages documents to PDF or JPG or something else that is at least 224 pixels per inch?

    i am writing a book to be published.  how do i get my "pages document" to a high definition level...at least 224 pixels per inch?  i can get to 150 ppi via preview to JPG, but that seems to be the best i can do with my new snow leopard imac.

    Hello Barbara,
    > i have text written in Pages and these need to be at least 224 ppi.
    i also have photo collages that were created in Pages and also need to be at least 224 ppi.
    the book has about 60 pages of photo collages and about 30 pages of text.
    If you want to print using a digital press or an offset lithographic press at high resolution, then you typography is resolution independent but your photography is not. In other words, you must embed into your Pages document the images in the resolution that is right for rendering in the high resolution raster image processor.
    Raster image processors will as a rule of thumb produce good quality detail if you embed photographs with 300 dot per inch resolution. Because raster image processors differ in how they reproduce detail, and because this information is generally not public a rule of thumb principle is applied in preparing the page description for printing.
    By default, if you use colour transparency in your work, the system graphics service will detect this and save out PDF 1.4 automatically. However, not all raster image processors have PDF frontends that accept PDF 1.4. For this reason, there is a fallback which you must set up yourself.
    If the receiving raster image processor does not have a PDF frontend that accepts PDF 1.4, you have to manually enter the resolution at which the transparency will be rendered. The system graphics service will then render the resolution for you and save out what it technically termed a 'flattended PDF'.
    Alternatively, if you don't want to work with the Apple ColorSync Utility yourself, you can send your PDF 1.4 with resolution independent transparency to a prepress operator who will then use specialised software to render the resolution for the specifics of the service he or she is selling you.
    If you want to work with the prepress interface in system graphics services, then below is a link to summary on setting up the ColorSync Utility for ISO 15930-3:2002 PDF/X-3. This passes prepress preflight testing in Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0.1 (the first version that tested for PDF/X-3).

  • How do I get my Pages documents to my iMac via iCloud?

    So I successfully updated my iPhone 4, iPad2 and my iMac. My iPad and iPhone sync flawlessly via the cloud. I need to know how to get those same Pages documents to sync with the iMac via the cloud.
    Anyone?
    Thanks

    "documents in the cloud" is limited to the iOS versions of iwork in its current form.
    Put simply : iwork for OSX has no iCloud support.
    You can manually open Safari, go to www.icloud.com , log in with your Apple-ID and download the files from the iwork section to your Mac's download folder.
    Yes it *****, we know.

  • A year later...same question: How can I get a Pages document embedded ???

    How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? (so that the recipient sees it immediately and does NOT have to open a PDF). Although I know a PDF is universal and would allow anyone (mac or not) to open, read and see my business newsletter, I want it to be instantaneous for viewing. So, which leads me to a question I've kicked around for a year now on this discussion board. How do I turn a Pages doc into html for email purposes? If there isn't a way with Pages, How about with Word (the newest version) for Mac? Someone has to know this art, I receive emails like this all the time, probably from Apple! ha ha .
    Please help!

    In Mail.app, single page PDF are directly readable so you may try to
    print your page #1 in a PDF
    then
    print your page #2 in a PDF
    and so on.

    As Apple removed the export to html feature, I assume that it's no to reintroduce it one day
