Change From "Word Processing" to "Layout"

Hello everyone! Is there any way to change the format of a document from "Word Processing" mode to "Layout" mode? I noticed that all Pages '06 documents are imported into '08 as "Word Processing", even when it is actually a layout document. I tried looking through menus to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Miles
P.S. I also noticed that iWork '08 runs a lot slower than '06 on my Core 2 Duo iMac. Anyone else noticing this sluggishness?

It's easier to go the other way. If you Export the PL doc to Word and open the Word doc in Pages, it will come back as WP. Now you have two WP docs that can be easily combined. The conversion to Word and Back is not likely to be perfect, but it may be better than having to do all that Copying and Pasting.

  • Switching from Word processing to Layout mode

    Hi,
    I have old documents that always open as word processing. This makes it hard to group select items. Is there a way to open it as a layout document instead, or to switch on the fly.
    thanks,
    Tim

    What I cannot do it WP mode is drag select multiple items. (Maybe the would group select confused you) Let's say I have 30 frames on a page with text. I can seem to drag select the ones I want. I have to shift-click each individual one. While in Layout mode I can drag select them.
    EG - a year box with boys on every other line. I used to be able to hold shift, then drag select every other line and then change the frames to blue. But now I have to click each one.
    Is there a way to do that in WP mode?
    Or is there a way to open a '06 document and have it be in layout mode?
    If not all of my docs are slated to redo.

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Change from screen processing to list procesing

    Hello,
    I am working in a program where I have changed from screen processing to list processing, in the PBO of screen '0600', that way:
    module screen_0600 output.
      SET PF-STATUS '0600'.
    <b>  LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.</b>
      perform header.
      perform body.
    <b>  LEAVE SCREEN.</b>
    endmodule.                 " STATUS_0600  OUTPUT
    My problem is that there is no resizing of the window where the list is displayed, and I don`t know to change the <b>LINE-SIZE</b>.
    Any Ideas??

  • Is there a way of transferring information from word processing apps to a laptop that is not connected to the Internet?

    Is there a way of transferring information from word processing apps to a laptop that is not connected to the Internet?

    Yes - but - you need an app that supports file sharing and you still need iTunes on a computer, or you need an app like Folder Plus that lets you mount the iPad like a USB drive. You need the helper app on the computer as well.

    I ordered my iPhone 6 plus 128GB space grey on 9/26/14 and my status hasn't changed from in process yet.

        Awesome, DeckNobets! Waiting is never easy! As
    h00t mentioned, you'll be able to see a change from Processing once the phone officially ships, then you'll see the tracking number. Since you've received a confirmation email that your order was submitted, any additional information throughout the fulfillment process will be sent to that same email address. Congrats on your new iPhone Plus!

  • Convert from Word Processing to Page Layout?

    I received a 26 page document that is in Word Processing mode, but I would like to convert to Page Layout mode.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    The question is whether the WP version is just main body text or has floating text boxes and image boxes.
    If it is just main body text then there is no problem. Just click in the text and Select All (cmd a).
    Open a suitable Layout document and paste into a text box, then create links from that to other pages/text boxes.
    As fruhulda and Jerrold have said, WP is often the better choice as it generally includes everything that Layout has, but not vice versa. You will need to think through your layout however and construct it to whatever freeform layout you may want.
    My personal opinion is that Layout mode is severely challenged.

  • Switching b/w Word Processing & Page Layout

    Is there a way to transfer from a doc in WP-mode to Page Layout mode?
    Sorry for this very obvious question, but I can seem to find any info in the documentation or on the forum. Any help is, of course, massively appreciated.
    Cheers!

    UConn,
    I'll use the same metaphor I used in another thread. Templates are like tablecloths. So when you set the table, then decide you want to change the tablecloth, you can't easily just switch over to another one. You have to remove the objects, then start over.
    Whether you're in Word Processing or Page Layout mode is determined by which template you chose when you started up Pages. You can't just switch to another mode, because it's a separate template. But I've found that the major difference between the two modes is that the WP mode has a text layer, while the PL mode doesn't. If you began in the WP mode, you can just click on the page and begin typing; you can't do that in the PL mode. You have to create a text box or other object in order to place text.
    Hope this helps.

  • Updating Config Changes from integration process

    Hi
    I've constructed a ccBPM integration process
    then put together the config in the integration directory
    If I then go back and make further changes to the ccBPM, the changes are not reflected in the Integration directory.
    How do I update the Integration directory with changes from the integration process, without creating a new integration process in configuration after every change?
    We are currently running PI 7.1
    thanks
    Geoff

  • Adobe Acrobat trial version installation suggeded somehow, but I cannot save a file I have changed from Word to PDF.

    The installation of Acrobat trial version for 30 days seemed to succeed but after making a pdf file I could not save it into my own libraries on my computer. In the first case the system told that the trial time is over! How come? I had just installed it. Then I tried again, but now the system is requiring a "serial number". Then it said that I can find it there and there. I tried to log in there but it did not accept my password which I had just used. Ok. I changed the password and it was accepted by Adobe. But I never got any serial number anywhere. Then I tried to install Acrobat through another way. I have had Adobe Cloud and Premiere already for years. I tried to load Acrobat through there. I succeeded, but same problem again: "The trial time is 00 days". Then I also noticed that my old Adobe Reader has vanished somewhere. I could not open any pdf files I have received and opened before. I tried to re-install the Reader. No success because "the trial time is over" !!! What should I do? Maybe I can try to ask my friends to change the Word files into the pdf-versions but I need my Adobe Reader!

    Hi, Ashish,
    I do not understnd what means “through CC package under exception folder”. I
    think I went to Google and found this page:
    https://www.acrobat.com/en_us/free-trial-download.html . After the
    installing, which seemed to be successful, I brought in a Word file and made
    the exchange into pdf. It seemed to be ok, but I could not save it anywhere
    into my own libraries or maps. The system told me that the trial time is
    over (!). Then I went into my Abobe Creative Cloud because I have already
    Premier Pro and Premeir Pro CC. Through the list overt there I tried to do
    the installation again. I do not remember anymore what I got in the first
    place, maybe it was the same “Your trial time has 00 days” or something like
    that. Then I was asked to get the “serial number” I clicked the “button” but
    the reply was the same “Your trial time has 00 days”, or maybe there was
    some other demands before that. Impossible to remember anymore.
    Then I also noticed that I don’t have Adobe Reader anymore; I could not read
    any pdf files I had before. Everytime jumps up the message “Your trial time
    has 00 days”.
    regards

  • Generating html from word processing document

    I've got a fairly short two-column newsletter with six graphics that I want to publish in html using AW v6.2. I select save as html but the resulting document includes none of my text or graphics, hmmm. So I look at the web templates starting points and export these templates as html and get the same result - headers but no content. TIA!

    If you are expecting to get a page of HTML that will look exactly like your word processing page, that is not going to happen. ThisUser Tip tells you probably more than you want to know about creating HTML in Appleworks, but I would strongly suggest not doing this in Appleworks. If you don't have a regular web program, download the free NVU (nvu.org) and use that instead.
    BTW, the "web templates" in Appleworks are not templates for web pages, but rather regular appleworks document templates that are hosted on a web server for download.

  • Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

    Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
    As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
    the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
    For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
    So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
    Thanks in advance !
    Have a good day

    Alexander,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
    As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
    If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is a good word processing program?

    Can someone suggest a good word processing app for Mac? 

    You can purchase Office 2011 - Mactopia - if you want the best. Or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    TextEdit is included with OS X. It is not a high level word processor but it may be adequate.
    A good free alternative to TextEdit with more features is Bean 3.2.5.
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • How to import yellowed market text passages from word to indesign????

    Dear friends,
    in my word - very long draft for a PhD-Dissertation, I have marked everything yellow that is not finished yet. Now I changed from word 2007 to indesign (CS 5  - mac) as I had some problems with word. My question is how I can import my  yellow marked passages into indesign.The Importation of documents is not a problem,my only problem is, that the color is gone then. It would be a huge work to color the passages again individually,. THANK YOU for your  help.
    Best Jörg

    Those colored backgrounds don't translate into anything in InDesign -- the function simply does not exist.
    Use Find & Replace to replace it with something else in Word that *does* import (colored text or something), then change it again in InDesign to a custom underline.

  • Is it possible to change a document from Page Layout to Word Processing?

    I just downloaded and launched the Pages 4.0.4 update, which adds the option of exporting to ePub. Unfortunately Pages won't export a Page Layout document to ePub.
    Is there any way to change the type of document or would it be easier to just create a new document and paste everything from one to the other. This is a newsletter document that gets published monthly with new content so changing from one format to the other oughtn't bring too many problems.
    Thanks!

    I know that floating objects isn't supported in WP and I think there are a couple of other things but I can't recall off the top of my head.
    I remember that I started using it in the WP mode when I first put together this monthly newsletter and ran into some problems, and switching to Layout took care of those problems.
    I've nothing against the WP mode, in fact Iuse it all the time for more traditional WP jobs. It's just that I found the Layout mode to be more suited to, well, laying out. I come from the really old school of physically cutting and pasting typewritten stuff and Zip-a-tone line art graphics onto a large sheet of paper lined with a "non-photo" blue grid. The person who actually printed it took a picture of these pages and used the resulting page as a lithograph master, using real (ugh!) viscous ink rather than toner. So having the option of moving objects around and flowing text around graphics is appealing. Let me know in a PM if you want a Pages file of one of these issues.
