Can I insert SS just like in AppleWorks?

Is there a way to open a SS into Pages with one or two clicks of the mouse
the same way as in AppleWorks?
I always found the AppleWorks tools palette very convenient, and I am disappointed
that this new Apple product is lacking in simplicity and completeness.

Harriet - we are not going to see another all-in-one program for the Mac like AppleWorks. The need for it is gone. When ClarisWorks was designed RAM and hard drives were expensive. The programmers crammed a huge amount of functionality into a very tiny package by leveraging their code to do the same kinds of things in different contexts. That's why AW is modular. That's why we had all the functions in one application. But RAM isn't expensive any longer and hard drives are incredibly massive and cheap. There's no reason to create a new AW. It isn't going to happen.
Today it is just as easy for me to have Pages, Numbers, Filemaker Pro, and OmniGraffle running at the same time. I can create my spreadsheet in Numbers and then copy and paste it into my word processing program. Yes, I hope that someday Apple programmers create an official way to link a Numbers spreadsheet and the table I pasted into Pages so updating one will update the other. But even if this doesn't happen - it is easy to copy and paste a new copy. What is the big deal?
The fact is, I don't even have to create the spreadsheet in Numbers (though I think it is easier to do so). I can create a table in Pages and it has all the same functions that Numbers does. It just lacks a few kinds of special field types like buttons and sliders.
iWork is different. It isn't harder. What is hard is learning new methods. But as much as I liked AW five years ago, I like iWork today. Yes, I wish iWork included a database program though I have to be honest and admit that even back in the old days most of my databases were done in FileMaker. And a nice illustration program would be nice too. But then AWs drawing and painting tools weren't really anything to write home about.

  • Its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
    But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
    Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them.

  • I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like it. How?

    I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

    First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
    Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.

  • How can you create subtitles just like in movies?

    Hi, I recently purchased Final Cut Pro X and I was wondering how to create subtitles just like in movies. Thanks

    Does FCP X support subtitles like you see in Blu-ray or DVD?  I.e. subtitles for the narrative?
    I know you can put titles but subtitles would be something that needs to keep "changing".

  • Exe run more times by click icon just like VB program?

    exe made by labview can run more times just like VB program?
    I have completed  the program of display the state of my machine through serial port. The program was designed as show only one machine's state, and if more than one machine's state needs to be displayed, i hope the program can run duplicately or triplicately. Can it be realized?
    Can dynamically called subvi(set ad reentrant  vi) solve my problem? 
    When i try to  run the same subvi with invoke (run vi method),the "Error 1000 occurred at Invoke Node" appeared.
    If the dynamically called subvi  can do, subvis of subvi need to be set as reentrant too? subvis of subvi don't need to share information between different machine.

    The 'subsubVIs' may or may not be a problem. It depends greatly on what they are and what they do. In some cases, making them re-entrant will help. You should read the shipping document called Using LabVIEW to Create Multithreaded VIs for Maximum Performance and Reliability. There is a section in there on re-entrant VIs. There also have been numerous threads in this forum on the subject.

  • Which Swing component could load a picture just like picturebox in VB?

    Dear all:
    I need show a picture on the wihdow I programmed with Swing,yet I did not know which component can load a picture just like picturebox in Visual Basic.If you knew about,please tell me.Thanks.
    Kindly regards!

    The "bold" tags are used to highlight important words or phrases in your question, not the entire question.
    I don't know what a "picture box" is so I'll just point you to the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/menu.html#popup]A Visual Index to Swing Components. Many components support images.

    Just use Drop Box instead.

    You seem to think you are talking to Omnifocus here.  The odds of actually reaching them here are practically 0%, I would guess.
    I suggest you go to the omnigroup forums and present your suggestions in the omnifocus forum.

    I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
    working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
    someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
    query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
    not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
    working:
    td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
    $row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
    $_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
    Customer</a></td>
