About the new Pages, please.

About the new Pages, please. I've a lot of text in the old '09 version 4.3 -- how do I go about moving it to the new Pages?

Many thanks for your message, Peter. So glad to have your reply and impressed with all you’ve contributed to this topic here in the past.
Guess I was hoping that by looking away long enough, things would get better. I’d put aside my book, all in Pages ’09, but now I want to finish it and to move what’s done to Scrivener. Surely there’s some better way to rescue the old stuff than a complete rewrite?
Seems Scrivener actually uses TextEdit and that’s fine but of course I was using Pages in the first place because I’d like more control of how stuff looks on the page from the start.
Please tell me: Without losing any text, what are the options?
Kind regards . . . Fortes

  • We updated to the new Pages 5.0.1 and now none of our Pages 9 documents will open. Please help.

    We updated to the new Pages 5.0.1 and now none of our Pages 9 documents will open. Please help.

    Since you have Pages '09 documents it is safe to assume that you own Pages '09.  If you bought it from the App Store you should be able to download it again to your new machine.  If you have the install disks, you can install it on the new machine and the find the updater for it.
    Or you can go to the Apple Store (make an appointment) and get them to install iWork '09 on your machine.  They will do this for free if you can provide any proof that you owned it on your older machine.  They may do it for free anyway.
    As others said, your '09 files should open, so perhaps they were '08 files.  In which case you must open with '09 first.  For this reason Apple will sometimes give you a free version of iWork '09.  If you are not near an Apple Store try phoning them.  No guarantees, but others have reported that Apple sent them a free DVD.
    Worse comes to worse, look to buy it on Amazon or eBay, but try Apple first.

  • Help! The new Pages. I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. In the new formatt also when I insert a new page when using a template it doesn't give me the formatting and guides.  Can anyone help.

    I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. I use this feature a lot, particularly at this time of year. Can't seen to rmove the header and footer markers either.
    Can anyone help or do I need to revert back to pages 09?
    If I do re-install 09 will I be able to open the files that where converted to the new version?
    I don't like this new one. Many of the graphics features have been removed.  Not impressed at all. Very frustrated.
    The business card templates and others behave strangly.  If I insert a page it's blank only. I don't get the guides.  I was in the middle of a design project and had to start again from scratch as it threw everything out of alignment  and I can't copy an entire page. When I use select all, group then copy when I pasted it on the new page it overlayed all the cards in the top two segments.  Frustrating !  I ended up  saving my first page under a different name that was the only way to copy the page then I had to work between three documents instead of one.
    I went in today to last years Christmas tag file and the same issues I can't copy a page. I can't rearrange the pages.
    Simple features like colour choice and transperency for shapes are gone. I want to use my colour choices not someone else.
    Sorry, I am ranting.
    For now all I need is to be able to copy and switch pages around in one document.
    Please Help! I am about to start pulling my hair out in frustration.

        Yes, I am using 09 with out issues.  Just have to remember to use "open with 09" or open pages 09 first then my document.
      I create some amazing cards and posters with 09 that when on a PC I would have to use both Word and Publisher to create.  Flipping back and forth. 
      Apple if you're  listening please, give us back our layout options and even add a few more design options like beveled and 3D text.

  • Why are pictures and pages missing from doc created in Pages 09 when I try to open it in the new Pages?

    I created a large document earlier this year in Pages 09 ... over 100 pages and it has screen prints, pictures and text boxes ... when I try to open it in the new Pages 5.5.1, all of these pics, text boxes, etc, are missing!!!  I can open it in the old Pages, and they are all there, but in the new Pages, half of my document is missing!  I want to have it work in the new Pages because what if I upgrade to a new computer ... I will not have access to Pages 09 anymore!  Plus, the "Page Layout" option is missing in Pages 5.5.1 - what was Apple thinking with this update?  Please help!

    Bean doesn't do layout and is no longer being developed.
    MsOffice or LibreOffice [free] are alternatives but not at the moment 100% solutions.
    MsOffice has most of the features in a clumsier fashion in most cases but is a bit of a kludge on the Mac.
    LibreOffice has a rather rough user interface and still lacks Pages '09 features.
    Really we are in Limbo until we get something else completely.
    For office work, I suggest LibreOffice or NisusWriter. Just so you can still get at it in the future.
    I have been warning about this inevitability for years. Hasn't made me popular.

  • How do I move page order in Thumbnails view in the new pages? (which is driving me nuts btw)

    I'm really struggling with the new pages, having used the old version so much I just can't get the hang of this one - so much has changed:( Really wish I hadn't bothered but now have too many documents created in it that I can't open on old version as it doesn't let you (mump mump - well I am scottish).
    So in the old version I used thumbnail view to move about the order of the pages (really useful when making up artwork for magazines etc). Anyone know how to do it on the new version?
    Also can't seem to view document in '2 up' - 2 pages side by side (also very handy for magazines etc).
    Also the tables facility doesn't let you move borders of individual cells - you can only move the whole column - I can't even select them.
    I could go on but will go before I start the 'pages shake'.

    Hilary,
    Scottish or not, your best option is to retreat to the last good version of the app, Pages '09.
    Cut your losses.

  • How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

    How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
    It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

    I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
    Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder.  Just use that.
    Please remember to tell Apple what we need from them at:

    Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
    ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'.  something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under.  This is the Canadian or US keyboard. 
    btw thanks for your suggestion.

  • How do i layer text boxes in the new pages?

    I have the new pages, and every time i try to layer a text boxes, one text box disappears. How do i change that?

    Please give the exact version number of Pages, it helps when sorting out problems.
    The Textbox doesn't disappear.
    The text in the Textbox is pushed away by the Textwrap on the other Textbox/es.
    Generally, with the Textbox/es selected:
    Toolbar > Format > Arrange > Text Wrap > None

  • Problems with the new Pages for Mac

    I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
    1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
    2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
    3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
    4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
    I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4.  Some things you can add manually there.   Others you have to ask Apple to add via
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

  • I have recently download the new pages, but from time to time my computer will revert back to the previous page software what can I do to fix this problem

    does anyone have a problem with the new page software? I am currrently running into the same problem with the old pages software re-appearing and any document that I had used with the new update, will not open. The system requires me to attempt to download a new version of page, when the newiest version has aleady been download and has been in operation.
    What can I do to fix this problem? I desire to use the new version at all times.
    Please help

    You just have to be particular with which Pages version you are opening the document. use Right click on the document and choose the right version of Pages.

  • When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

    After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
    Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
    A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
    If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
    But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
    I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

    That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

  • How can I view two pages side by side in the new Pages?

    I can not find the feature to allow me to do this (which was available in the old version). This is really causing problems with some of my documents that have been created to be viewed this way. Any help would be great!

    I am a loyal Apple user because Apple form always follows function.  Deleting this feature from Pages was a stupid decision.  Amateurish, really.  Makes me question the new design team's competence.
    One of the key principals in good user experience design is providing value - simple, clean functionality that users find useful.  Side-by-side edititng is a great example.  Yes, the document is stored internally as a linear stream, but from the user's point of view the presentation should be as a reader sees it.   I don't know why it was removed, but I suspect it was either to conform with the internal form of the data, or to the least-common-denominator presentation device, or both.  
    I bought a Thunderbolt display so that I could edit documents 2 pages at a time.  My intended audience sees the document this way, and so I would like to write it this way.  But I can't with the new Pages. 
    Apple, please restore the side-by-side view in Pages.  I have work to do.  (And while you are at it, fix the EndNote plug-in.)

  • Data gets truncated when flows on the new page ?

    I have data from about 5 tables displayed in this report.
    There is one row which fetches all the required data and displayed there. This is a repeating frame in a group. The group is then again on a repeating frame which is on a group.
    At the end of this in the overall group frame, there is a row which has summary columns.
    the problem: When the rows of the innermost repeating frame are a lot in number, such that they exceed the page and overflow to the next page, the extra records do not get displayed. they are truncated and the next record starts on the new page. if i fiddle with the properties of the frames. the other scenario i get is, now i get the same number of rows as before, only, this time the summary row is also displayed at the end of this page. and like before a new record starts on the new page.
    I tried many possible comninations with the properties, but i cannot get the data to flow over to the next page.
    Any comments as to why this is happening ?

    Hi,
    It does sound like it's probably related to your print conditions. If you have not already had a look, I would highly recommend looking at the restrictions in the on-line help for the Print Object On property.
    It's difficult to say without seeing the report itself. What it sounds like to me is that a detail repeating frame has been set to All Pages. Let's say its master repeating frame is the Base Printing Object for the detail repeating frame. If the master only has a couple of lines of data to itself (ie the department name and id or location) then it likely does not have enough data to go to an additional logical page. All Pages for the detail repeating frame means that it will print on and only on All logical pages that the Base Printing Object will appear on. Therefore, as it would only appear on one page, the detail will get truncated to just that one page.
    I suspect this is likely to be what it going on here, however, without the actual report, it will be difficult to tell exactly which object is causing the problem. If after reading the doc on this you still have trouble figuring out which frame is causing the problem (it may be repeating or a group frame) then I'd suggest contacting Oracle Support for further hands on assistance.
    Hope that helps,
    Toby
