Creating a document in pages for Lulu eBooks

I've been trying desperately to get a document ready for Lulu to publish in eBook format. Nothing I do seems to work. Why is a conundrum since they do not communicate with you except by email. Then they always only direct you to documents. They do not tell you what is wrong.
I think when pages 5 exports to WORD, a file format only accepted by Lulu, the styles are stripped out. I opened the WORD file I created in OpenOffice, and it was a mess.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe this is one more reason that people will abandon Pages. Only problem is, compared to the WORD or Open Office interface, its a depight.

Why not kick OpenOffice into your Trash, and then download the current LibreOffice. More aggressive and frequent updates than OpenOffice, still supports any .odt documents that you may have created, and has competent MS Office compatibility. Others have found that documents that OpenOffice mangles are opened correctly in LibreOffice. Give it a shot.

Here you are in a forum dedicated to Pages for OS X.
Most of us don't use Pages for iOS.

Ive created a document into Pages which I want to upload into MailChimp for a email marketing campaign. However, Mailchimp seems to dislike the document. Any ideas?!

I've created a document in Pages which I want to use as an upload in a email marketing campaign I'm running through Mailchimp. Mailchimp doesn't seem to like the Pages document and won't upload. Any ideas?!

When you contacted the folks at mailchimp what did they have to say?

I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

Hi,
WARNING
it´s impossible (for me) to open Pages 5 documents in Pages 4, which is absolutely no go. You can open any f..... word.doc but no pages 4.
Apple is getting worser every day, it´s a shame. There is no information about this before you buy it.
So now you have to ask your friends or colleagues to convert a pages 5 document to a word document, so you can open it with pages 4. Hoiw ridiculous is that?
Pages 5 is a joke. In 5.0 they forgot to manage the task-bar, which came shortly after 4 weeks or so in 5.1.
The only good: you can run ist parallelly to pages 4.3 but it´s not worth the money.

I created a document in Pages 5.2, emailed it to someone, who emailed it back with changes, but I cannot open it now. Why?

I created a document in Pages 5.2. I emailed this document to a friend through gmail in Safari. My friend made changes and emailed it back to me. When I click to download the document, Pages tells me it cannot open it. I have created 4 documents like this and each one has had the same problem when emailed back to me. Why?

If you are also using Pages, but version 5.2, then I'm not sure how they read it if they are using 4.3. But for the two of you not to have problems you need to use the same version of Pages because as OS X has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion to Mavericks to Yosemite Apple has changed the version of Pages, but each version of Pages is not fully downward compatible.
If they cannot upgrade OS X in order to use the Yosemite version of Pages that you use, then you should use Word documents. They should be able to Import/Read a Word document as well as Save or Export in Word format. Of course, they could just start using Office for OS X 2011 which would make things better all around.

How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?

How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?
When I create a new documents in Pages it is saved simply as Blank. I need to be able to edit this and give my new document a name such as "Pricing Proposal", etc.
Is this possible in Pages for iPad, and if so how do I go about it?

Ah yes: that works. I swear I tried that when searching for how to do this, but I must not have held my finger down long enough.
Thank you so much for your help

I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

That assumes two things:
1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

Document lost / Pages for iPad

Hello,
I have created a file on Pages for iPad (iOS 7.1) yesterday. The app was not allowed to backup documents on iCloud. It was saved automatically and then being imported as PDF and sent as mail. Now I can not see the doc in Pages overview anymore even though I have definitely not deleted it. Is there any way I can restore this file again?
Is there also a possibility to import a PDF made with Pages back into Pages in an editable format?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

Creating a new Master Page for new SharePoint 365 Environment

Hello,
If you create a new Master Page for your 365 site collection should all the Promoted Links, List Headings, etc. (standard items that are in the OOO SP Master Page) still remain the 'Blue SP Color' or are you able to change these items in the Master
Page as well? If someone needs additional information on my question please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

How to create a Dynamic Logon pages for a portal.

Hi all ,
Is it possible to create a dynamic logon pages for a portal.My requirement is when ever we enter the Portal url in the browser we will get logon page ..now when we reenter the Portal link the logon page should change. is it possible .
thanks
Rajeev.

Hi Rajeev,
Your requirement isn't very clear here.
Do you meant that is userA is trying to logon, he must see different logon pages at different tims he tries to logon?
Thanks Hermann, I too was thinking about the same...just need to have some clarity on what really needs to be achieved. Also unless the whole logon page needs to be different then cookies are best -- if its just some images then some javascript would be good enough.
Thanks,
GLM

How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

Hi jonathan,
I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes! Here's all you need to do:
1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
Hope that helps!

How to change name of document in Pages for iOS?

I'm having problems with changing the name of documents in Pages for iOS.
Any answers? I dont want all my documents to be Blank, Blank 2, and so on!!

Hi Horace
You should hopefully just need to tap on the name of the document when you open Pages.
When you open the app, you should see all of your documents displayed. Under each one is the name of the document. Tap on the name and that one document should zoom to the centre of the screen and you can edit the name. If the document was previously called "blank" then the name field will appear empty, allowing you to type in the name you want. If it already had a name, then that name will be displayed there.
Tapping on edit allows you to make copies of a document or delete things rather than renaming them.
Hope this helps.

PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc. Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
2. Select it and go to Conditions
3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
.form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

I created a document with pages. the documetn was stored in the Cloud. Now I can't open it anymore!

Yesterday I created a document with pages. The documetn was stored in the Cloud. Today I can't open it anymore! According to the help info I need a new version! 'You need a newer version of Pages. You can download a newer version at the Mac App store'

What version of Pages are you using on your Mac. I note you have a mobile device do you use pages there, have you opened the document from there, if so what version of pages are you using on the mobile.
Do you perhaps have both versions of pages on the Mac and are simply trying to open it with the wrong one (the older one)
