Create a word template in pages ???

Got a client who is on a mac but uses ms office. I'm on iwork, of course. I need to create a letter head template for the client. Would it be possible for me to do that in pages and then export it to word, send it to her and tell her to open it first and save it as a template?

You should be able to export your Pages document as Word which will have the .doc extension. In the Finder, change the extension to .dot (Word template). Instead of having a PC user change extensions or anything else outside of their "comfort zone," I find it easier to do it myself before sending the file.

    How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

    In spite of the latest updates Pages for iPad does not support:
    1) User templates
    2) Headers
    3) Footers
    4) Page numbers
    and it is not compatible with Pages for OSX, a document cannot be edited alternatively on Mac and iPad without destroying headers and footers.
    - The Word export is far from perfect
    - Does not really support Page Layout mode (you cannot duplicate a page at least)
    - Does not have a multi-page overview
    - The spelling support of iOS and OSX is at the level of Apple Maps except 4-5 languages.
    - It takes a long time until it starts
    INSTEAD, according to the latest updates:
    - It can do change tracking
    - Lock and unlock objects
    - Add reflections to shapes
    Dear Apple, please understand:
    - We like iPad and we wish to use it for real work.
    - We wish to have user templates, headers, footers and page numbers.
    - We do not expect all the features of Pages for OSX, but we do expect real compatibility.
    - We do not wish to switch back to Word for Windows unless you force us.
    Please try to concentrate on real development not on unimportant changes like in the latest dissapointing update.

  • Is there a way to create my own template on Pages for iPad?

    Hi, I've searched for this topic but can't seem to find a recent thread. I need to know if there's a way of creating a new template for Pages on my iPad. Would love to use the iPad more in school but can't seem to get it to do what we want it to! If this isn't possible then can anyone suggest an App that would be more useful. Many Thanks!

    This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5.  I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
    To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
    Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

    anyone can help me?

    Do you mean template or document? They're not the same thing.
    The template formats that Microsoft and Apple use are different (just like all their document formats). You can Export a Pages document in a Word format and send this to your employees. An employee can then save this Word document as a Word template and use it.

  • Creating multi-section templates in Pages 5 - how?

    In Pages 4.3 you could define and name various multi-page sections that lived 'within' a document template, and then pick from these to build up a document.
    You could control these internal sections within the template using the "Manage Pages..." command (having first moved arbitrary sets of pages to the template area using the "Capture pages..." command.
    I can't find any equivalent to either of these commands in Pages 5 - am I missing something?  Or is Pages 5 currently short of this feature?

    I've just confirmed that the templates features have been removed - if you 'roundtrip' a Pages 09 document into Pages 5 and then save it back to Pages 09, the resulting document has had all the template section related information removed along the way.
    This is a serious blow for us - we similarly use multi-purpose templates in Pages 09 (e.g. just one for all the variations of invoice we generate).  Initial reports in these fora and elsewhere suggest that there are several other key features that didn't make it through to the latest version of Pages - unclear whether these make the application unusable in our production environment or not.
    What is most frustrating is that the new Pages finally has proper RTL support (which we've been wanting for ages)... aaagh!
    But at least we were just about to create a new set of templates, so maybe we use this as 'final nail in coffin' and invest this time in another app - I guess NeoOffice is the most likely candidate, as MS Office (on OSX) still does not support RTL in any sensible fashion.

  • Pages with word templates

    I'm writing my thesis and my school uses a MS Word template... has anyone had experience with using Word templates in Pages?  Will it be a nightmare or relatively easy -I don't want to spend hours and hours reformatting.  Thanks for your feedback.

    Pages should open the Word template although you might have to change the extension from .dot to .doc. But, as ffiti said, formatting is often off. But there are other options besides Office for Mac. TextEdit that comes with your Mac can open Word files & there are the Office clones such as LibreOffice or NeoOffice that are free.

  • Report Generation - Word Template

    Hi,
    I am trying to write a program that captures up to 873 different scope shots.
    At the end, the program will generate a Word Report with all scope shots and measured parameters.
    I have used the Word Template in the past and created field for each parameters.  However, this approach will not be efficient with this complex test.  The report format of each test is shown below with the read box indicating the field where data will be plugged in by LabVIEW.
    To create the word template for entire tests can create unnecessary post processing to delete the part of the test that user didn't run.  If user ran only 3 tests then he would have to delete other 870 templates which will not be cost efficient.  Also, this could create unnecessary programming mess that is not very flexible.
    My questions -- is there any way I can copy this template below as I run the test?  Rather than creating a word template for 873 different test for which I may only run part of it, can I copy the template based on number of test that user would like to run?
    Any pointers will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Vivek,
    I have LabVIEW 8.5 Development version and the report generation tool kit.  I will be writing VI to fill the data in and generate a word report with Up to 873 different tests.  The template that I attached is the sample template for only one test, I will be doing 873 tests.  The sample test template consists of scope shot and some measured parameters.
    My situation - the VI that I will be writing will fill in the sample template that I attached for 873 times.  For me to generate a word report for all tests, I would have to create a report template with 873 sample templates.  Where there is a red box, I would have to create a field for each box so the LabVIEW will know where to put the data in. 
    Well, that is lot of work in the first place.  Secondly, to keep up with 873 different permuation fields can create lot of unnecessary programming mess.  Lastly, if the user decide to run only part of the test, then there would be lot of empty test templates.  If user decide to run only 10 tests the final report will have 860 empty boxes.  That is not efficient.
    My goal is to create the word report using just one sample template rather than 873.  I would like to copy the sample template based on number of tests user defines. 
    My question is-  Is there any way to copy the sample test template that I attached using the report generation toolkit?

  • How to create User defined templates

    Hi all,
    I want to create user defined templates for pages and regions and how to create form templates and report templates.
    pls help me.

    Hi Mani,
    If you copy a template in ApEx, you have your own version of that template.
    If you then alter the code in your version of the template, you have your own custom version.
    If you don't understand the underlying HTML, you are going to struggle.

  • Is there an APA format template for pages?

    I am trying to find an APA format template for pages?  Does one exist?

    I do believe there is at least one user-contributed one at iWork Community. Also, you could open any Word template in Pages. You might need to change the file extension from .dot to .doc for Pages to recognize it.

  • I'm looking for a simple Notebook template for Pages.  Any help?

    I'm looking for a simple "notebook" looking journal that can be used in Pages.  This can also be a journal that has dates; actually, that is preferable, but just a notebook is a minimally satisfactory template.

    Hi Mark,
    No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
    This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • 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?

    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.
