Can tables in Pages be numbered across pages?

Hello,
I often work with long tables that span more than one page.
Pages automatically repeats a table's header row on each page. Does anyone know if it is possible to append notations, such as "[TABLE NAME] (Continued)", to the second and subsequent pages of a table without breaking it into multiple tables or effecting the header of the first page?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Whatever you have in the table's header row(s) will repeat. But, if that is a Page Number Object, the proper page number will be reported. Other than that, if you want substantial changes in what in in the header on the first page vs. other pages, you can't do that in the table. You would have to use the Page Header.

  • Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels?

    Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels?  I've tried to adjust the margins and the cells to sizes listed on the package, but I can't get them to fit properly.  Also, when I try to copy information (return address with three lines of data) from one cell to another to fill in the page, the information ends up with one line each in three different cells.  How do I keep it all together?

    I'm sure it can be done in Pages but I find it easier to use the Mac version of Avery Design & Print software which can be downloaded free from http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m
    It will import information saved in Excel or csv formats which you can do from Numbers or other spreadsheet software.

  • Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

    After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
    Any idea?

    You are right with floating / inline.
    But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
    That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
    There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...

  • Can't add rows to a table in Pages 5.1

    I started my table in Numbers but it defaults to huge margins top bottom and on the sides so I can't get much on one page and it won't let you change the margins - one of the huge advantages Excel has. So I copied and pasted part of my table into Pages which does allow you to change the page margins. When I tried to paste or add more rows into that Pages document, the cells below row 120 remain black. Whats keeping me from seeing or working with more rows at the bottom of this table in Pages?

    Hank,
    The previous version of Numbers had the ability to manage margins, and to view the margins while editing the content. This version, 2.3, is still available.
    Whenever you paste a table into Pages, or when you insert one, you must be aware of what part of the document it is in. If it Moves with Text (formerly known as Inline), it will flow from page to page. If the table Stays on Page (formerly known as Floating), the table will run off the bottom of the page and the lower portion will not be displayed.

  • 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.

  • Insert Numbers Table Into Pages

    Is there an equivalent to the "Past-Special" command found in MS Word/Excel? I want to link a Numbers table into a Pages document and have the Pages document automatically change when the Numbers table is changed.

    Hi, I think there might be some misleading information about this.
    You can highlight a table in Numbers, copy, then paste it into your Pages document. It moves and resizes like an image, and you can directly edit any cell in the table. You can add rows, columns, etc the way you can if you create a table through Pages. The functions all remain the same and change automatically as you change the information.
    While you may not be able to link so that changes in one program affect the other, I find I don't need it to change in both very often. If it ever does become an issue, I just copy/paste whichever is "complete" into the other and continue.
    Hope it helps!
    (Incidentally, you can do the same thing to take tables created in Pages and put them into Numbers)

  • Moving Numbers Tables to Pages '08

    Hi guys,
    I've used Numbers to create some tables that were larger than 8.5x11. To fit them on a single sheet, I used the Content Scale slider. Works like a charm.
    Now, when I go to copy one of these tables to put it in Pages, I get the original, full-size version of the table when I paste it. Needless to say, that does not work at all - the tables are all out of whack and spread across multiple pages.
    How do you copy a Numbers table to Pages if the Numbers table is scaled down below 100%? I want the table to look exactly the same in Pages as it does in Numbers. And yes, I've already sent Apple feedback to let them know that this is a problem.
    But while I wait for Numbers/Pages '09, does anyone have a workaround that doesn't involve PDFs?

    Hi Richard,
    Thanks for the reply, but the problem is not empty rows and columns. When I created the tables I used 14 point Myriad Pro. The table (which is an income statement) is too large to fit on a single page at that font size. I did not worry about it, however, because I planned to just scale it down to make it fit.
    The real problem is that when you copy a table from Numbers, you get the table as it appears in the "Normal" view, NOT as it appears in the "Page Layout" view. Hence, when you paste it, the table is no longer scaled down like it was in Numbers' Page Layout view. That's infuriating - it's like setting your font to Helvetica and having it come out of your printer in Courier New! It makes the entire content scaling feature in Numbers useless if you plan to use your spreadsheets outside of that app.
    What's really frustrating is that so much of Numbers is utterly great! It has so many features that are just fantastic and make my life easy. But for each of those features, there's a basic, fundamental item like copying scaled-down tables to Pages or double-line cell borders that is missing. And the real shame is that none of it will be fixed before Numbers '09.

  • Export Tables from Pages to Numbers with AppleScript?

    I've hit a stumbling block while trying to use AppleScript to remove a table from pages and paste it into Numbers.
    I've found no way to directly identify the table in the document to copy for pasting into Numbers and I've been unable to remove the other information from the document to isolate the table for a select all command.
    The easiest thing I can think of is a AppleScript to remove the first set of characters before the table or to explicitly extract tables only from the document.
    I've tried all manners of AppleScripts and I can't seem to get it to work. None of the AppleScript text selection commands work to remove the information other than the table.

    Try selecting the whole of the contents of the document and then running:
    tell app "Pages"
    selection
    end tell
    This will return a list of the selected objects, amongst which you should see something like: table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
    With that data you should be able to select just that item:
    select table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
    Obviously that's just an example. If you were scripting this, you would most likely work through the list filtering only those objects you want to work with - the tables in this case.

  • How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

    how can i stop Pages and Numbers  screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
    the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
    but thanks anyway. SG.
    if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
    (it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
    restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
    maybe i need a new Mac ?
    mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

  • Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking

    Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking at her phone.

    First of all, there is no need to put the entire text of your post into the title of your thread.
    Next, does your daughter have an iPhone? Do her friends have iPhones? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is possible she is not texting them, but using iMessage to communicate with them. iMessages will not show up in the texting traffic on a line as they are not texts, but messages sent thru Apple's servers.
    For all "texts" to show up in the texting activity of an iPhone, you must disable iMessage on the device. Any messages sent as iMessages(blue bubbles around the text) on an iPhone will not show up in any texting activity.

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • How to continue outline numbering across pages

    Using InDesign CS4 on Mac...  Sorry for the newb question, but I've got a section on the right-hand side of my document that has outline numbering across a couple pages.  I've used separate text boxes for each page.  Is it possible to continue this numbering so that 1-5 show up on page 1 and 6-10 show up on page 2?  Thanks!

    As janine4gg mentions, the link she gives is one to a multi-part series in that blog that helps with all different numbering tasks. I recommend looking at the the first in that series: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/04/numbered_lists_part_i_outlines.html.
    Using defined paragraph styles that include a numbering style and using a defined numbered list, there should be no issues about where or which side numbered items fall on for numbering to continue correctly.
    If you mean that you have a text frame that you use to contain an outline and you need it to break in a certain place, you would put a text frame break in. Type > Insert Break Character > Frame Break. Link the text frame with the break to the text frame you want the text to flow into.
