Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
Help!

Hello Debbie,
as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.

Pease don't say the "latest" that doesn't tell us anything.
People are always getting it wrong.
Tell us the actual version number:
Menu > Pages > About Pages
Can you select the footer? And what is in the footer?
Sometimes Word has these things in separte textboxes under other things and you need to lassoo them to get rid of them.

Importing Word doc into Previously Existing Project Corrupts Related Topics

Hi,
I had a few extra topics that I documented in a Word document
and imported that document into an existing HTML Help project in
RoboHelp. After doing this, it used the CSS file called by the new
folder it added for those new topics (based on the name of the
imported word doc) and when I look at topics in WYSIWIG, the text
on them is Design_Time Con. (I used the text only style of related
topics). When I select the related topic button in WYSIWIG and view
the popup, the menu choice for properties is deactivated so I can't
even edit the topics in them. And, when I try to add a new related
topic, it looks the same "corrupted" way.
What am I going to do? Is there are project setting that is
pointing to the wrong directory? What can I do to save my related
topics. I have over 400 topics all with related topics buttons and
each has an average of 6-8 related topics listed.

P.S. I also tried creating a new project and importing the
htm files into it but it is doing the same thing.
Here is the code for the Related Topics in one of the topics
as a sample:

Importing WORD doc into FM12

When importing a WORD doc with multichapters into FM12, do I need to seperate the WORD doc according to the chapters first then do the importing?

I would say it depends:
If your word document satisfies any or all of these conditions:
1. It is short
2. It utilizes few fonts
3. It does not contain graphics with text flowing around them
4. It has a few basic styles
5. It is "clean": no spurious font usage, no "bleeding italic"
then by all means, open it in FM
Otherwise, you might want to follow the process below. In my case, I have a novel I wrote in Word. It's 147,000 words long, uses several fonts and images. I opened the file into FM and it was not able to process it appropriately. Luckily, no harm was done but I'd recommend you do backup your word file first.
Here is what I did:
1. I created an FM template from scratch.
2. I used my template to import the first chapter only. In so doing, I refined the various tags ( I am assuming you are importing you word document as an unstructured framemaker doc) and created a few character tags such as "emphasis" for fragments which are emphasized and "thought" for fragments of text representing thoughts in characters' heads. These character tags are important for the editing process because by changing say the color or the size of the font for these characters tag, I can quickly highlight them and verify them. In the end, there was no portion of my text that did not have an explicitly assigned character tag, which is truly important for the quality of the text.
3. I ran a find on "character override". Since my novel was being edited by two editors, there were quite a few overridden punctuation utilizing the wrong font, or face or size.
4. I would then refresh the book to ensure the chapter numbering and page numbering was working correctly.
5. Once I was satisfied with a chapter, I would import the tags back into the template and move on to the next.
I am skipping the work I did on the preamble (first and second titles, copyright notice, acknowledgment, dedication, table of content, maps) and postamble (glossary and "about the author") but the process was the same.
This process took me about two days to complete. In the end, I ended up with the following
1. A robust template I can use for the successive books I am publishing
2. A cleaner text, easier to typeset and check
3. A greater understanding of the way FM works.
Hope this helps

Issues with importing word docs into robohelp 10

I currently have an issue when I try to import a 'saved as: 97-2003' or 'MS Word' doc or docx into Robohelp 10, I receive the following error:
Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
In the meantime I've been converting everything from a doc/docx format to a pdf and then importing.
However, it would be nice to know why I can't perform the task as I have shared
PS...
With regards to the error statement: "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer"? I have Microsoft Office 2013 installed (and not the student or home version). "I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed", so to speak but I would think that Word 2013 would pacify the requirement of MS Word 2000 or newer...?
Thanks.

The message is wrong in terms of the version specified. It is correct though that you do not have a supported version as Word 2013 is not supported.
Subject to licencing, you can have both 2010 and 2013 installed, then run 2010 before doing anything where Rh needs to talk to Word.

Unable to copy material or import Word Doc into RoboHelp 9 (Suite 3)?

I had this problem for awhile until I discovered that I was trying to import material from older word documents. Just opening the word doc in Office 10, saving it as a docx file before trying to copy and paste cleared this up. Pictures and text come across easily in RoboHelp 9 and Photoshop now.
PDF files are hit and miss. I think it may be due to the same type of problem... earlier version creation on the part of the PDF. sometimes they import great, just like they look in PDF format, sometimes they don't are are a big mess. I have had to copy and paste sections, recreating the look of the original pdf in a RoboHelp page.
Backwards compatability seems to be an issue that keeps cropping up in this suite... or am I doing something wrong, missed a simple control somewhere?

I think you mean Office 2010. Office 10 is Office 2002,
I'm not quite clear whether you mean import in the sense of File > Import or copy and paste as you refer to both. File > Import from older versions has not given me any problems. Cut and paste is not something I do much of but again it hasn't given me problems.
Cut and paste doesn't require any instructions. Importing is covered on my site.

Importing Word docs to pages via PC

Hi - can anybody help me? I would like to use pages to edit Word documents on my ipad. Now this seems to be straightforward from a Mac, but I cannot get it to work from my PC. According to the instructions, you drag and drop (or use import) into i-tunes, then sync. However, i-tunes refuses to accept any Word documents that I try to drag into it (whether ipad is plugged in or not).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I don't know where you saw anything about using drag-and-drop to import Word documents. To the best of my knowledge, that doesn't work. Here are the steps given in the Help:
1. Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes on your computer. After a moment, your iPad appears under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
2. In iTunes, select the name of your iPad and click Apps.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the Apps window and select Pages (in the Apps list under File Sharing).
4. Click Add, and then locate the document you want to import in the “Choose a File: iTunes” window that appears.
5. Select the file and click Choose.
(you at this point need to allow your iPad to sync - DS).
6. Open Pages on your iPad.
7. In My Documents view, tap (the folder icon).
8. Tap the name of the document you want to import. The document opens.
Hope this helps.

Importing word doc into InDesign

I am trying to find the best way to get about 250 word pages into 250 InDesign pages.
Currently I am assuming I have to copy/paste each page by hand. Is there a way to set page breaks in word and have them relate to pages in InDesign? I know that I can Find/Change attributes to batch/automatically apply styles to imported text. My major issue is that each InDesign page has a header, sub header, then 4 - 5 paragraphs with inline headers, so there is a lot of formatting.

You have to put your custom frame on you master A page. Open your pages pallet. select the master page, create you custom frames on the master page. Select the first frame, click on the little blue box the bottom right the hover you curser over inside the next frame and it will turn into a chain link icon. Click.
This will link the two frames together over the left and right pages.
Now double click on page one in your page pallet. You'll see the dotted frame which means that it on you master page. If you don't? then got to menu View>show frame edges.
Next
File> place select the word file
your curser will load with the word file, hover your curser inside the dotted blue frame you just made on page 1 hold down your shift and click

Importing Word docs into RH10 & auto split headers into topics

Can RH10 import a Word document and auto split the headers into separate topics? In RH7, this capability was available, but I'm not seeing it in RH10.

Look for “Pagination” – I think Peter Grainge discusses it on his site (grainge.org) too

About importing Word docs to Pages

I've followed the directions for adding documents to Pages within iTunes, and that seems to be working. What's not happening is that 2 of the 3 newly added docs are not showing up on either my iPhone or my iPad. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I can't really tell any difference between the documents that have transferred over and the ones that haven't -- they're all three docx format, the one that transferred is one I created, and of the two that won't transfer, one came to me as an email attachment but I downloaded it to my computer, and the other is one I created.

Never mind - I finally figured it out.

Accidentally imported Word Doc into app

How can I remove it! It doesn't show up in the app on the iPad, just in iTunes. How can it be removed?
Please assist
jk

It doesn't show up in Adobe Reader because Reader only reads PDF files.
Remove it in iTunes: Connect your iPad with your computer. When the computer finishes syncing, in iTunes, make sure you iPad is the selected device. (How to do this depends on the version of iTunes you're running.) From the Summary screen, click on Apps tab at the top. Scroll down so you see the File Sharing section of the Apps tab. Select Adobe Reader on the left. Select the file you want to remove. Press the Delete key. Confirm that you want to remove the selected document.

Word doc to Pages to Word doc conversion problems

I imported a word doc into pages on my iphone.
I edited the document on my phone, then exported it back to word format, emailed it to myself and opened it on my macbook in word again.
Now there are some weird spell check errors happening (eg it doesn't like the word 'you' and suggests all kind of rubbish) and the formatting of the apostrophes is all wrong.
Is there a quick fix for this? My document is 102,000 words long, I don't like the idea of having to redo the apostrophes one by one...

I'd recommend you use Word for Mac for such stuff.
Before buying that, you could try the free Open/LibreOffice and see if the result is satisfactory.
If you already have Pages on your machine, just do File > Open and see how it looks and works.

Error on Importing Word document into RH7

I am attempting to import Word docs into RoboHelp7. The first several documents are imported and saved into the project without incident. However, one file causes an error: "An error occurred while trying to save data to : <RH project name> <5>. The same error occurs each time I attempt to import this particular file; the error message will not disappear when I click on OK and whole project has to be closed. Thank you.

Colum,
Thank you for your prompt response. I tried importing sections of the word document as you suggested, but I was not able to isolate the error. I confess that after repeated errors and shutdowns, I discontinued this troubleshooting, lest it cause any damage to the original project files.
Instead, I opened a new project, and imported the Word doc into that project. Then I imported these HTML files into my main project. It was not graceful, but the end result is good, with all the links and formatting preserved.
As other Word docs have since been imported into this project without incident, perhaps it was a fluke/bug in this one document.
I appreciate your help in resolving the situation.
Thank you.
