Copy a table from numbers to pages only with content

Dear all,
I'm rather new to iWork 08 and now i'm trying to copy a table from a numbers document to a pages document. When i do so it copies the table but with all the formulas and in pages it does not recognize what equals one cell to another. In other words, since the table in discussion has another table beneath it which is linked to with some simple formulas, and i copy only the above table it doesn't know how to link the results to the table below.
To clarify if i copy and paste the whole numbers worksheet containing both tables it pastes into pages in the correct way, all the data being there.
Having said that is there a way to copy only the content from numbers to pages?
I ask this because i can think of no other way to copy and paste properly the table in question.
You can clearly see here what i mean: http://gallery.me.com/bimmered#100024
What you see in the left is the pages document zoomed out to 75%. If you look closely you can see in the lower left of it the unkown data in the table. On the center right you can see the numbers document showing exactly like i want to appear in pages too.
On this pic you can see that copy and pasting the entire table works: http://gallery.me.com/bimmered#100031
So...what's the catch?
Thanks

set the clipboard to (the clipboard as text)
was THE script !
Here is the enhanced version:
--\[SCRIPT pasteValues.app]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : pasteValues.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Copier un bloc de cellules de Numbers dans le presse-papiers.
Placer le curseur où vous voulez dans un document Pages (ce peut-être une cellule de table).
menu Scripts > Pages > pasteValues
Le script collera les valeurs seules.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: pasteValues.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy a block of cells from Numbers in the clipboard.
Put the cursor where you wish in a Pages document (it may be a cell of a table).
menu Scripts > Pages > pasteValues
The script will paste the values only.

  • How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

    hi everyone
    i need help
    How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

    Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
    • In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
    • In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

  • How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

    I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
    Somebody with an idea?
    Thanks for your help!

    To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
    The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
    Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

  • Copy and paste Values from Numbers to Pages

    When I do simple copy and paste content from Numbers to Pages, I get a formula error message. All I want to copy and paste the values only, not the formulas, but on pages I cannot find a way to paste values only. When it tries to paste formula, it errors because some of the formulas references to other sheets on Numbers. What is the easy way to get values from Numbers tables to pages without passing formulas.
    Or better yet! Is there a way to link tables to pages like charts with refresh capabilities so I don't have to copy and paste values to pages document every time Numbers table values changes?

    J,
    There is no Paste Special in OSX, anywhere. You can Paste Values from the Edit menu in Numbers when that would be necessary.
    In such cases where you would use Paste Values in Numbers, you can use Paste and Match Style in Pages for the same result.
    Sometimes it's so obvious to Pages what should be done that it will give you what you need automatically, but sometimes you need to use Paste and Match Style to get the values rather than an error triangle.

  • After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

    After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.  I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

    For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

  • How do I copy a table from a Pages 09 document to a Pages 5 document

    I am trying to copy a table from a Pages 09 document into the new version of Pages. When I select the table and copy, in the new version it turns it into text and does not copy the table structure. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process  that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
    Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

  • How to Copy a table from mail to Numbers

    Hi,
    Today I received a mail from Exchange user. He Paste a table in to the mail and sent to me. I am using safari on Ipad 3.
    i just want to copy tat table to Numbers; whenever i try to Select "Select all" all shows selected but after copying tabel can be shown !
    Can you suggest me the way to resolve this issue.

    Edit:
    I realize I should have said: I don't know how to make Copy in Mail and Paste in Numbers work. I know how it should work, just as you believe it should work. When I try, the best I can do is a 1-column table of text, similar to what you get in OSX numbers if you Paste into the text layre of a cell rather than into a Sheet.

  • How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

    I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
    I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
    I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body.  I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
    As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data.  I have the table in numbers and excel.
    When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing.  The table appears to end at the end of the page.
    I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
    Its holding me back...
    Any ideas?

    Hello Loquitir,
    I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
    How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
    There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
    Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
    Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
    I hope I am clear in what I am describing.
    Regards,
    Nigel

  • Embed table from Numbers 09 Document

    I am using both Pages and Numbers when working with a business plan document. The content of the document is being authored in Pages and the financial documents are being managed with Numbers.
    How can I integrate full page tables from Numbers into a Pages document?
    With iWork 08 I was copying and pasting dozens of tables into Pages and doing basic formatting to make the entire table visible. I needed to paste these tables in a textbox in order to rotate them to landscape.
    Is there an easier way to link these tables in iWork 09? I really like the linking of charts but I do not see any way to do the same for tables.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    I have the same problem as you have (business plan...). Very annoying indeed. I already wrote a "pages feedback" to Apple. Perhaps you could do that, too. The more people "complain" the better.
    The sad part is that we will probably have to wait for pages '10 to see that feature.
    Best regards

  • I deleated numbers and pages files and apps on my iPhone and when I got to work all my files were gone from numbers and pages on my iPad. How do I get those files back on my iPad?

    My storage was getting low on my iCloud, so I decided to delete my files from numbers and pages on my iPhone and delete the apps on my phone because i  did not really use it on my phone.  When I got to work and clicked on pages and numbers on my iPad the files were gone. I assume the files were deleted through iCloud.  I did not want the files deleted on the iPad and would like to know how to get them back?

    If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
    If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
    if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back.

    Hi Bhupinder,
    According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
    As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
    Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
    To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
    and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.
