How do I copy style in numbers Beta and paste

I am working on a numbers CHECKING REGISTER document. The style of the print and the figures has always been clear and easy to read. Unfortunately the style has changed. It is not as easy to read and is out of character with the rest of the document. I am not sure what I have done to cause this. Can someone please help with some advice.
Difficult to say without at least a few details as to what "the style of the print and figures...has changed." A screen shot would be useful. Take the screen shot by pressing shift-command-4, then dragging a rectangle to select the part of the screen to include. This will place a file containing the picture on your Desktop.
Post screen shots by uploading them to a photo-sharing website such as Picasa, Photobucket or Flickr, then copying the HTML code provided by the website for sharing your photo and pasting that in your post here.

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

hi everyone

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.

Copy style

Hi
Please can someone advise how I can easily copy and paste styles across slides textually on Keynote?
When I copy style in one text box to paste in another text box on Keynote (even on the same slide!), nothing happens. It is really annoying (and I imagine is relatively basic for Keynote). I noticed a support comment re customising the toolbar with copy and paste style icons though this hasn't helped.
As background, no doubt this is found somewhere and whilst I find graphically Keynote is good for making quick changes, textually it seems relatively off, as I have spent at least the last 2 days (I know!!, time management could be better) tailoring slides in Keynote and Powerpoint.

Hopefully I have answered my own question!
I expected to just select the text box and this would happen, yet I see now the text itself needs to be selected. Joy!

Copy styles from one document to another

Is there a way to copy styles?
Another question:
Can a saved document be opened and the layout changed. For instance, to from portrait to landscape or full page to booklet?

I knew it had to be something simple I was missing. I was able to do it in Quark, so InDesign should have a way. I can't believe I miss something so obvious (after you refreshed my mind where to look)

Bug with Copy Style?

I tried using the keyboard shortcut for Copy Style (Option-Command-C) to change the background color swatch on a shape, but it did the same thing as the regular Copy command (the Edit menu even highlighted temporarily). The Paste Style shortcut worked as expected when Copy Style was selected from the menu first.
Anyone else experience this problem, or do I just have a corrupted Keynote? I couldn't find anyone referencing it in the forums.

Same problem in Pages (and it's been updated to the latest version, too). I haven't set any keyboard shortcut changes in the keyboard preferences pane, either. Quite strange!

How can I insert reference to cell on a different sheet in Numbers beta?

In Excel or Numbers for iPad, I start typing in a cell, switch to another sheet and click a cell or range, hit enter, and I'm back on the original sheet with the cell reference inserted. I saw documentation that it works the same way in Numbers Beta on Mac, but it doesn't. When I leave the sheet, I'm not editing the cell anymore.
Very frustrating. This function is often necessary, and long formulas are tedious on iPad. So far the most reliable method is to export back to Excel, make the change, and re-export to iCloud.

I struggled with this same issue until this week. You have to actually type references in cell. And spacing is the key to making it work. Make sure to put a space before and after each double colon.
=SheetName :: B3
=08 20 14 :: B3
I you are linking to a different table in a sheet, you have to include the table name also.
=08 20 14 :: No Shows :: D5

Copy cells from Numbers to others apps

I am using Numbers to manage big amount of datas.
With the latest Numbers version I can copy and paste in the same/between Numbers documents but the paste doesn't work outside Numbers.
Try do do a table with 4000 rows, fill the cells of one column with something -one char is enough-, copy the column and let me know if someone is able to paste the copied datas outside Numbers. The copy and paste works with 3999 rows.
BTW: with 2 columns I am able to copy/paste 1999 rows. Copying 3 columns, 1334 rows can be moved. …4 columns? 999 rows!
The number of chars copied is insignificant. Ah! Excelling...oops outranging the above limits the paste command, in the target app, is greyed out.
What am I missing?

Wowwowwowowowowowo!
The new 3.1 (1769) version works!
...and it seems more and more and more faster than the previous release!
Thank you iWork team.

Styles And numbering : bug or not bug?

I'm migrating from word to pages and I am experiencing a strange behavior in styles and titles numbering in Pages 09 (French versionà
Based on what I have observed, the link between styles and numbering seems to be broken: if you apply a certain numbering style to a title style, it will not be applied correctly. Only one numbering style seems to be memorized amongst the differents styles.
Here are some simple steps to reproduce what I observed:
-Open pages
-Create a new document a select "Harvard Structure" from the templates list (this is a template that includes numbering). You get a document with different kind of numberings (A. 1. (1)) : everything's all right for now
-Display the styles pane and you will see that only one kind of numbering is memorized in the stylesheet : although the "Title 3" is numbered with 1.,2.,3. in the template the title style is memorized as being numbered with I. II. III.
Any attempt to apply different numberings styles to the different styles will not work... Did I miss something in the documentation?
PS : sorry for the duplicate question (I posted accidentally the first question when it was not finished in the Pages08 section)

If I understand well, nothing odd, nothing wrong.
You are just fooled by the two meanings of the word "style".
When you apply the style Harvard to a list, you aren't using the 'named style Harvard'
It's the same thing than the one with the menu item "Bold" which apply the Bold style
and the 'named style Emphasis" (Accentuation in French).

HT202998 copy paste in windows browsers numbers beta not working?

Hi,
Whenever I try to copy/paste an XLS file in numbers icloud, the file gets really messy. Data gets allocated to different cells compared to the original file. I have been using both Google Chrome and Firefox for windows, but have had no luck. Any advice on how to deal with this problem?
Cheers,
Paul

I have the same problem. It looks like it only pastes every other row and skips a row in between.
This used to work fine, as I would use it all the time, broke sometime in the last two months.
I've yet to find a good work around. (Pasting single rows works, but that just isn't efficient, I'll switch to Office web apps before I do that).

Copy/Past of a certain style in Numbers

I would like to know if i can simply copy/paste a style from a different cell into a newly created one (Including the fill colour and format)

You want a drop cap with a nested style. Drop cap is self-explanatory. For the nested style, make a character style that makes your text bold and small caps, and then set a nested style that calls the character style until End of Nested Style Character. Build the nested style and the drop cap into a paragraph style, and then insert the End of Nested Style Character at the end of the first line.

Table of contents: Style and numbering

Hi all,
I've already found some information about the page numbers in the Toc here on the forum, so thank you for posting that.
What I can't find is this: I've got my table of contents with the page numbers aligned to the right side. The toc consists all the titles I've used in my Pages document. In this document I gave these titles different numbers, i.e. I've used the styles for creating a list. So in my document I have something like this:
1 Food
1 1 Vegetables
1 1 1 Carrots
text about carrots
1 1 2 Tomatoes
text
1 2 Fruit
1 2 1 Apples
text about apples
1 2 2 Lemons
text about lemmons
2 Drinks
2 1 Hot drinks
2 1 2 Coffee
text..
I don't want to start a discussion about wheter or not a tomato is a fruit or a veg . I would like to know how i get these numbers in my Toc ? Right now I have this toc :
Food 1
Vegetables 1
Carrots 1
Tomatoes 2
Fruit 3
Apples 3
Lemons 4
Drinks 5
Hot drinks 5
Coffee 6
But I want something like this :
1 Food 1
1 1 Vegetables 1
1 1 1 Carrots 1
1 1 2 Tomatoes 2
1 2 Fruit 3
1 2 1 Apples 3
1 2 2 Lemons 4
2 Drinks 5
2 1 Hot drinks 5
2 1 2 Coffee 6
Can somebody show me how to do this ? And also, is there a possibility of changing the text layout in this Toc according to the layout I've used for these titles in my Pages document ?

Actually, yes, it was tedious, but I gave the numbering in the heading styles a fair go. tried my own indented numbering styles. When the doc becomes large enough, the auto-numbering breaks. I write fairly intense technical docs, with legal (or tiered) numbering, I cannot afford either the incorrect numbering, or the ToC not showing the numbered heading.
Typing the number into the heading, and using say 4 heading styles for four level of detail (tiers), works well. But do not start until the doc is fairly stable, and thus the numbers do not change. These numbers show up in the ToC very nicely. You can use didferent ToC Heading styles and make that look good as well.
And, yes, I have requested the feature. What I really want is the heading sytle to remember the indent/tier level and keep track of it; and not get lost in a large doc; THEN showing that number in the ToC.
Cheers

How to create new character styles in Numbers 3.0

In Numbers 3.0, it is possible to update existing characters styles, but I cannot find how to create a new character style, the + sign in the popup is always inactive when I edit text in a cell. The paragraph style popup has an active +, but it doesn't work for character style.
Is there any way to create a new character style?

Guillame,
You're right about not being able to add styles, and I have not figured out how to modify a predefined character style, other than to Rename or Delete a predefined style. I have added this to my list of things lost.

How to reuse a table style in Numbers 3.0

I can save a Numbers Table Style in one spreadsheet, but I've no idea how to open and use the saved style in another spreadsheet.
When I save the style it shows up in the inspector for that document, but does't appear in the inspector when I open another document.
Am I attempting something that can't be done?

How to preserve row heights when copy/pasting in Numbers 3.2.2?

I've created an invoice in Numbers with different row heights and column widths. When I copy a series of rows and then paste them on a new row, all the formatting is there except all the rows where I paste are all the same heights. Do I need to manually re-adjust every single row or is there some way to preserve the row heights when pasting. Thanks anyone.

VR,
When I try to duplicate the problem you are describing, I get the behavior you are wishing for. Sorry, there must be something going on that you aren't including in your conditions statement.

Drag copy cells in numbers

Right, am I being thick or has numbers changed??
I'm trying to copy a figure in one column to several rows below it,
eg: A1 reading £20 to A15 all reading £20
I did this before by going to the bottom right hand corner of the cell and dragging it down the column
doesn't work now.
Anybody got a solution?
Thanks

Yes, Rob, the corner handles of a selection are now dregged to extend the selection and the middles are dragged to Fill.
You may find the corners are still useful bacause there are some addresses that can't be typed into expressions due to the auto-completion of function names and the confustion that results when you type a cell address that begins with the same letter as a function name. (A bit of a bug.)
