Can I have data from Numbers automated to embed to Pages template?

I am creating both a database and a document resource for a large archival project. I would like to know if there is a means to enter the data into a spread sheet in Numbers and them import each of the cells into a separate window in Pages.
For example, I would have cells for contact info. Could I automate a Pages template to import that data into a window?
The Pages documents would be a newsletter design to present the data of each person as a visually accessible version of the data.
Some of the data would be:
Current contact info.
years at a location
yes/no answers to some basic questions.
etc.
Other items in the Pages document would be imported directly - ie photos, etc.

That is called a merge.
Pages can merge data from both Numbers' tables and from AddressBook.
Of the two AddressBook is usually less difficult, but obviously has less ability to create custom fields.
You create the merge fields inside Pages with Menu > Insert > Merge Field > select which data and then use the Link Inspector to tell it which Application, document and what fields to merge from.
You can not merge images and Pages merges will not do multiple merges per page eg if you have a set of data for Tom Jones and another for John Smith Pages will generate separate pages for each.
You can have multiple references to Tom Jones on the same page, but not to both Tom Jones and John Smith. There are ways around this but it is a bit clumsy.

  • Can I use data from Servlet in my static html page?

    First of all, I can NOT use jsp because of web server's restriction.
    I have a servlet which will give me some image links in html file via doGET and doPOST method. I also need the sizes of the images and compress the images if too large.
    My question is how I can pass the image sizes to the html page and how I can use them in html files.
    Please advise me some solutions to this problem.

    Yeah, you have 2 choices:
    1) Change your web server to one that allows JSP.
    2) Re-build the JSP system from scratch so that the one you make will work in your server. This would involve changing your so called static HTML to have markings (like <% %> tags) where you should insert the values you need to insert. You would then have a servlet that reads the 'static' HTML, parses our the insertion tags, and inserts the values. It would then stream the results back to the user.
    Of course, your HTML is not really static, it is dynamic because the values you are inserting are capable of changing.
    If you don't want to upgrade the server to one that supports JSPs (if yours really doesn't), the have fun making your own system.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • How can I have all the numbers transfered from my old cellphone?

    In my old cell phone I have more than one number for each person: cell phone, land line, office etc. When I have transfered my telephone contacts from my old cell phone to my iphone, only one number for each name appears : how can I have all the numbers transfered?

    When transfer contacts through SIM only the first number is really transferred.
    What kind is your old phone?

  • Can I have 2 online numbers from 2 different count...

    Basically the subject is self explanatory:
    Can I have 2 online numbers from 2 different countries on 1 Skype account?

    You should be able to do this.  You'll have to have separate Apple IDs and it would require to go to
    Settings > iTunes and App Store
    Tap your Apple ID
    Sign Out
    Then Sign in with the ID you use in that country.  You will neeed a valid credit card in each country.

  • Hi everybody! How can I transpose data in numbers?

    Hi everybody! How can I transpose data in numbers?

    If you don't want to go to all the trouble of setting up formulas each time you do this, and making sure the new table is the correct dimensions in the destination table, etc, just run this Automator Service.  (Dropbox download)
    After double-clicking the .workflow package to install (you may need to click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security) it will look something like this in your Services menu:
    After that one-time, one-minute setup, all you have to do to use it is select the range you want to transpose, choose 'Copy Transpose' from the menu, click once in a cell where you want the transposed values to appear, and type command-v or option-shift-command-v to paste.  This is similar to (though slightly different from) what one does in Excel.
    To remove or rename the Service, in Finder hold down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and delete or rename the way you would any item in Finder.
    You can view the short AppleScript the service contains by opening it in Automator.

  • How do I export Dates from Numbers to iCal?

    I'm building a spread sheet in *Numbers '08* with +expiration dates+ for many of the line items. I would like to export those dates to iCal so that iCal can _show/send me a reminder on those dates_. I've read that some people may be using a program called Bento to interface between Numbers & iCal. Seems like one should not have to buy an entire software program to export a simple date from Numbers to ICal -- both being native Apple programs.
    Perhaps there is a way to get Numbers to send date reminders without exporting to iCal?
    Any feedback is much appreciated.

    Here is the script doing the trick with Numbers '09.
    --[SCRIPT createical_events_fromNumbers'09]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Sélectionner les cellules d'une table de Numbers qui décrivent des 'events'
    La table est censée contenir:
    une colonne avec la description des événements
    une colonne avec les date_heures de début
    une colonne avec les date_heures de fin
    Éditer la property 'theCalendar' en fonction du nom du calendrier à alimenter.
    menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
    Le script crée les évènements dans iCal
    --=====
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    In a table from Numbers '09,
    select cells describing 'events'.
    This table is supposed to embed :
    a column storing events descriptions
    a column storind start datetime
    a column storing end datetime.
    Edit the instruction defining the calendar name to fit your needs.
    menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
    The script will create new events in iCal.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
    This script creates new events from the content of selected cells from a Numbers '09 table.
    --=====
    example:
    event #1 18 avr. 2010 05:35 19 avr. 2010 15:35
    event #2 19 avr. 2010 05:35 20 avr. 2010 15:35
    event #3 20 avr. 2010 05:35 21 avr. 2010 15:35
    event #4 21 avr. 2010 05:35 22 avr. 2010 15:35

  • How to insert data from Numbers to Pages?

    I want to use data from Numbers to insert in Pages. The same as Word and Excel can connect. When it works you can make 1 letter, and after connecting it correctly with Numbers you can make ten, hundred, thousand ... letters, all of them personalized. Who can help me? The manuals can't.

    You are talking about Mail Merge.
    Pages '09 did this with data from Numbers and from Address Book/Contents.
    Apple removed this from Pages along with over 100 other features, but in Pages 5.5.1 it has now become possible to work around the limitation with some AppleScripting. So Apple has done what Apple does best these days, it takes something that was relatively simple and worked and turns into something complicated if not impossible, usually undocumented, and says they have simplified it.
    Frankly it is not worth the time it takes trying to fix everything that is broken, there is just too much and it is constantly being reshuffled by Apple. Just stick with what you know or use LibreOffice [free] which has all this built in.

  • Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?

    Hi All,
    Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?
    If its possible, pls let us know how to get connect with Business View in both of these versions and what is the tool that we have to use to create Business Views.
    Thank you,
    Krishna Pingali

    Hi Krishna,
    Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise ( BOE ) Business Views can only be created using the BV build which comes with BOE and installed using the Work Station installer for BOE. for both XI and 2008.
    You cannot mix these two versions on the same PC not can one talk to the other, the BV designer must match the same version as BOE. XI ( version 11.0 ) is no longer available but if you mean XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) then it still is.
    It's not completely clear which Business View you are referring to? BOE has a Business View Designer so not sure if this is just a naming problem or not? If you are referring to the BOE Business View Designer then the above is true. If your reference is about some other BV designer or data source then you need to clarify.
    Contact our Sales department for pricing and availability.
    Thank you
    Don

    hmmm, CTS = cutomizing transport?
    If you have a customizing table, there are still two possibilities.
    1. customize in DEV system and transport
    2. customize right there where you need it.
    this depends on how the maintainance view is built. If it is a simple customizing table and you get not asked for a TR when customizing a new record or changing an existing one, you hit possibility 2.

  • How can i store data from a pc to TC

    how can I backup data from a PC to TC

    Get a suitable backup software..
    Windows backup is of course useless. But you should already know that. It will not work on any version less than pro anyway.. due to MS deciding people with home versions should never use networks. ???
    That is why there is one million and one third party backup software that do work with network drives. Look up reviews of what works well. for the price you want to pay and get it.. Drive Image was a popular one. I must have a copy somewhere I bought .. then changed to Mac..
    There are plenty of free ones.. I do use macrium reflect.. does disk image only unless you pay the license.. but works super well.. particular for restore.. which people kind of forget.. the value of backup is how well does it restore.
    Use ethernet if possible.
    Note that mixing TM and data on the TC is not necessarily a great idea if you are also running Macs.
