Can I save .pages speech as an audio file?

I have a .pages document and when I select all words and select speech, the document is read out to me.
I find this a useful revision technique, is there anyway I can save the speech as an audio file so I can listen to my revision notes 'on the go'?

See this discussion: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2008050623341520
If you read the comments below the main article, there are some alternatives.
Even better, perhaps, is this MacMost tutorial: http://macmost.com/convert-text-to-spoken-word-audio.html

Let us start from the beginning.
It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
We will be watching for your follow up with details.
Thank you.

Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How / from what was the PDF originally created? It would be easiest to insert page breaks into the original document, then recreate the PDF.

Can I write an Applescript to tag audio files?

Can I write an AppleScript to tag audio files? I do not want to involve iTunes in the process; I just want to add tags to an audio file on the desktop (eventually in batch).
Perfect scenario:
I drag an MP3 file (or multiple MP3 files) over the AppleScript, and a dialog box appears which lets me enter fields like Name, Artist, Year, Album, Track Number (x of y), Genre, etc., and once I've filled them in and clicked OK, it goes and writes them into each of the files.
Without me having to drag them into iTunes to do it.

I would search http://darwinports.com/ for a termnial app that is able to edit id3-tags
Then perhaps a AppleScript-Studio Interface for it and there you go.

How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document? Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore. Can anyone please help? I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft. This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me. My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP). Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Can I save Pages 5.0.1 documents as a single file?

I have recently started using CrashPlan to backup my iMac (OS X Mavericks) and tried using CrashPlan's mobile app to restore iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) documents on the go on either my iPhone or iPad. However, I cannot restore any newer iWork (2013 update, iOS 7) document, only the older iWork '09 file types. What is shown on the app is a package (a folder instead of the document, and with several files inside the folder).
In the new Pages (5.0.1) there is no such option to uncheck "Save new documents as packages", unfortunately. I tried "Save as" but that does not exist, only "Save" without any further options for creating a single document.
Any suggestions on how I can restore a Pages "document" from CrashPlan on the go with the iOS 7?

Thanks Peter,
However, unfortunatly I cannot use the previous version Pages on iOS (iPhone and iPad). When the new Pages app on iOS 7 opens a document created in Pages '09 it updates it to Pages 5 - without even asking!
Seems like this is Apple's way of forcing iCloud usage. For me keeping files on iCloud is confusing and too dependent on having an internet connection. But I digress...
I'll look into Microsoft Office.

HELP: How can I save page state on UIX page...

I have a fallowing situation:
1. I create UIX application with Wizard based on one ViewObject
2. When I get a page with ViewObject in table style I travers up and down through records and make some updates and create new records
3. But when I go back from update and create pages I always get initial browesing page.
My question is: how can I save state of browsing page when I return to it from update and create or any other page (save position look hide/show mode or anything else)?
I try to use StateManager class but I faild.
Can anybody help me or describe how can I do it on one example?
Thanks!

Attila,
Sounds as though you want to remember the interactive state of your pages across requests.
That means you'll need to store the interactive state of your pages in something like the HttpSession that has a lifecycle spanning across multiple requests.
If you make your pages interactive using the HttpSession, then, when you navigate back from another page, they should still be in the state you left them.
The built-in data provider name for the HttpSession in uiXML is ctrl:httpSession. Use this to data bind the interactive attributes of your page, such as the disclosed attribute of HideShow.
In your event handlers, update the HttpSession to make your page interactive.
Be careful to use different keys to store information in the HttpSession for different pages.

Sometimes I can't save pages as documents or I can't close the USB

Sometimes I can't save documents I am working on pages, as word documents, and sometimes I can't expulse the USB. I recently installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I bought it in 2012.
Sometimes it says documents I am working are incompatible and can't be save, but are new documents and It won't save the changes I make to the documents.

Can't Save Pages Document - says it is locked

I have been using Pages for a couple of years with no major issues. Then recently (I am guessing as a result of upgrading my operating system), every time I work on a document, it won't autosave. A message comes up saying that the document cannot be saved, that I don't have permission. Then when I try click and manually save, it says that I don't have permission, that the document has been locked. When I go to the file and get info, it doesn't show as locked. As a result I keep having to duplicate the file any time I am editing it or else it won't save. I have done every update I can find and am using OS X version 10.9.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Michael

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

I can not export Pages document into a Word file

Please help! I have researched many feeds in regards to my issue. None of the suggestions seem to work. I need to export a Pages document into a Word file and get the error messge "an unknown error has occured". I have attempted to "Save as" and export directly from the file menu. All of my fonts have been validated. Not sure what my other options are. Can anyone give any insight? Thanks

In case if the files are missing for the once you have in your book module they can have issues exporting as PDF or JPEG.
Please check the same and replace the files which are missing or attach the same and then try exporting the same.

Where can I READ how to combine an audio file with a slide show

I need to make a dias show running with some speech/audio file beneath - so that I get an avi file or whatever to present on the internet.
But no matter where I turn, I find video after video - and I am not so stupid, that I cannot read a text.
So can someone tell me where I can find a TEXT manual, describing how I do that?
Thanks a lot.
Niels

Hi,
Are you in Premiere Elements Editor? I'm seeing in PSE Organizer and can't see that "Drop files here" text anywhere.
This is how Slideshow dialog looks in PSE11 Organizer. You can rearrange the images by clicking on "Quick reorder"button or by dragging thumbnails on the thumbnail strip you see at the bottom.
Let me know if you are facing any issues with this dialog
Thanks
