Dynamic Text in Pages using Numbers file as input

I was wondering if it is possible to have cells or text boxes in Pages that are dynamic and are filled
in automatically using a source cell from a linked Numbers file as the input.
I have proposals to write that always use a specific Numbers file to crunch the math, but I want
to present certain parts of the Numbers file in a formal written proposal and don't want to redo
everything by hand when I make small changes to the projects financials.
Thanks!!! So glad I switched!

There is no feature allowing us to link two different documents.
You may try to achieve your goal creating the Text document in a Numbers sheet using text boxes.

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

    I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...

  • Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

    Hi there!
    I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
    I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects.  I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded.  I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right.  Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time.  However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step!  The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
    I hope someone can help me.  If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!!  I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stuart

    Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
    That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
    As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
    JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
    if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
    and change it to this:
    if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
    Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

  • How can I lock Pages and Numbers files on my desktop?

    I have a Numbers spreadsheet and some documents in Pages that I'd like to 'lock' or password protect.  The old Appleworks program used to allow me to 'lock' files.   Is there a way to do this using Lion or is there a simple app I can use?

    There is a way to do that in both Pages and Numbers in Snow Leopard; I don;t have Lion available to see if that was carried forward to it.
    In SL, with the document open click the Inspector button in the toolbar for  the document. In the Inspector window, click the leftmost icon in its toolbar ("document inspector" in the popup tooltip), If a Pages document, also then click the Document button below that icon.
    Then, at the bottom of the window look for an item "Require password to open" - checkmark that, and you'll be prompted to set a password.

  • Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

    Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
    I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want  several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ned,
    What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
    place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
    instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
    the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
    on the map, which is what I'm using.
    I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
    am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
    being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
    markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
    to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
    lies.
    The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
    called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
    that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
    I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
    i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
    correct addressA
    location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
    load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
    loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
    to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
    Do you have any ideas?

  • How do I create envelopes in Pages using Numbers as the source?

    I've done this successfully before back in 2011 when I was sending out Holiday Cards.  Now I go in there today looking to use the same envelope template and an updated (not everybody lives in the same location) Numbers spreadsheet and I keep getting..."Please select a numbers document that has one or more named header columns and one or more rows of data".  The numbers file has 6 header columns (FN, LN, Address, City, State & Zip) and 77 rows of data.  I've tried to recreate the file under a different name, I've deleted and reinserted the header columns, etc and nothing has worked.  I'm now at the point where I'm toying with the idea of pulling the plug on the Holiday Card all together unless somebody could save the day.  PS...their is a holiday card in it for you
    Please help..

    Fair enough...it sounds like the Holiday cards will be put on pause until 2014. 
    On a different note, I'm noticing all sorts of issues with the OS...are you finding that Mavericks is less stable than prior versions of the OS?  The entire reason I went away from Windows based PC's was because of the instability of the OS and now I'm finding that the stability of the Apple OS is starting to follow the same path. 
    Thoughts?

  • Text Tab delimited - using Numbers

    I have some Numbers files that I need to upload to a contact manager as Text Tab - Delimited. I cannot seem to find the correct way of doing it, since I am not able to get them done.

    If you need to export data from specific tables, you can try is selecting the cells, command-c to copy, and in a text editor, command-v to paste, and then save to file, which you should then be able to upload to the contact manager.
    Selecting cells and copying them places their values on the clipboard tab-delimited.

  • Can we override the Desktop LAF for Pages using backing Files ?

    Hi
    I have the following Look And Feel related requirement.
    We have an global application level Skin which was applied at the desktop level using the .laf file.
    But some of the pages require a totally different Look and Feel apart from the one defined at the desktop level.
    To put the question in the other way,
    Can we override the skin & skeleton defined at the Desktop level using the backing file (for page or portlet) ?
    The following is the code snippet, which i used in the backing file to achive the above.
    LookAndFeel lookAndFeel = LookAndFeel.getLookAndFeel(request);
    lookAndFeel.setSkin(y_skin);
    lookAndFeel.setSkeleton(y_skeleton);
         lookAndFeel.reinit();
    Here the y_skin & y_skeleton are the new set of skin & skeletion which i have created for the page.
    when i ran the above snippet in the portal framework, i found the desktop level skin is getting applied
    to the pages insted of the y_skin & y_skeleton.
    Any help or directions .... for dynamically changing the skin & skeletion for pages will be appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    - Sachi

    What you are doing looks valid.
    this is the code that i have
    public void init(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    // Get the session from the request
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    // Get the LookAndFeel object from the PrimaryTheme in the request
    LookAndFeel lookAndFeel = LookAndFeel.getLookAndFeel(request);
    if (request.getParameter("defaultButton") != null)
    //System.out.println("default skin selected");
    session.setAttribute("skin", "default");
    if (request.getParameter("textButton") != null)
    //System.out.println("text skin selected");
    session.setAttribute("skin", "text");
    if (request.getParameter("classicButton") != null)
    //System.out.println("classic skin selected");
    session.setAttribute("skin", "classic");
    String selectedSkin = (String) session.getAttribute("skin");
    if (selectedSkin != null)
    //System.out.println("setting skin and skeleton to: '" + selectedSkin + "'");
    lookAndFeel.setSkin(selectedSkin);
    lookAndFeel.setSkeleton(selectedSkin);
    lookAndFeel.reinit();

  • Dynamically building web content using XML file(s)

    Hello All!
    I was recently tasked with a project to design a monitoring web application for our "in-house" built web applications. There is a certain set of modules and parameters that we need to monitor: GSLB --> Web Tier --> App Tier --> Database.
    Almost all (80%) of our applications share the same parameters that need to be monitored, but there are about a hundred of them. So here is what I'm thinking of doing....
    1. Create an XML document for each application (An example layout is included at the end of this post) and save it in the Applications directory.
    2. Setup a Spring Framework project, and create code to dynamically go through the Applications directory and kick-off the monitoring logic for each <application/> item. Basically, the code will just traverse through all of the xml files (I might even create just 1 xml file with all of the <application/> items in it), read the "metadata" for each application, and start the backend processing, as well as display the data in a dynamically-generated web GUI (based on the XML structure and data).
    Again, most of our applications (80%) have the same modules/parameters, therefore adding an application would only require us adding another <application/> element to the already-existing xml document (or adding an additional XML document). The code would do the rest...In regards to the rest 20% of applications, I would create a customize XML document with additional metadata (the code, in that case, would be able to handle the additional metadata).
    So here are my questions:
    1. What do you think of the idea itself? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's thought of this, so are there any best-practices in this regard?
    2. The reason I thought of using Spring is that it is XML-based (there are many reasons for me using Spring actually -- Security, ORM integration, etc), and it might facilitate my efforts. I'm thinking that even if reading through the Applications directory isn't such a good idea, I can somehow utilize Spring's dependency injection & AOS to create the appropriate solution. Have anybody tried this before and willing to share ideas, implementation approach, etc?
    3. Other than Spring, what might help me accomplish this task?
    4. Is this feasible (from a time and effort stand-point), or should I just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello jschell!
    Again, the question was more about the overall architecture and design rather than monitoring implementation.
    So here is what I have now:
    1. A spring application that will do the following:
    Read in the "architecture.xml" file (a portion is shown below). This file will dictate not only the type of monitoring but also the layout (explained later).
    The architecture.xml is marshalled to entity objects -- Model (s), with nested Model "children"
    This array of Model(s) is what the server-side application will use to populate the monitoring parameters.
    When the Impl gets a hold of the Model(s), it traverses through all of these entities and does whatever processing it needs to do (Health check, routing check, etc), and produces Item(s) objects, which are similar in structure to the Model(s) entities, but have actual values that need to be displayed on the front-end. Each item might have an array of other, children, Item(s)
    2. A GWT application asks for the Items array, and displays them on the front-end.
    What I did already:
    *1. Created a base Spring project that accepts GWT requests and returns a set of Item(s) (statically-generated, since I don't have the proper Impl yet).*
    *2. Created the GWT project and the layout. GWT communicates with the Spring app (which runs on tomcat for now) and upon retrieving the Item(s) it recursively renders them into displayable items, with different background, borders colors, width, etc (based on the populated values and their nested children, if any) . The last code snippet is the definition of the Item class.*
    Basically, the architecture is setup and the next step is the actual implementation of the monitoring and routing logic -- which wasn't the point of this post, since I already did most of it for a different project :)
    Thanks for the replies though....

  • Pages and numbers files won't open in ANY version

    Apple, what have you done? I made the sad mistake of upgrading to the newest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote on the one Mac in our personal and work ecosystem that can run Mavericks. Not only can I not open any existing files in the '09 version of these products once I open them and save in the newest version. Now, I cannot open ANY of these documents in ANY version of these applications. Pleas tell me how to fix this. We have important work and personal files now that we are unable to open at all.
    Very disappointed, Apple. These are the sorts of user-experience and quality issues that motivated me to abondon Microsoft...

    Well the problem "fixed itself". I logged out, logged in to an other user, opened and saved a few pages files and it worked fine. I logged back out, and back in to the user with the Pages problems, and voila! It works fine - no problems. THis software is far to flaky for me. Unfortunately, my colleague in the last two weeks since upgrading has updraded nearly ALL of our current working Pages files. We now have the very unhappy and uprofitable task of exporting and reverting ALL of those documents so we can revert to Pages 09 - a program that actually iWorks.
    Apple, this is really buggy software and it's getting deep-sixed. You've really messed up with this latest set of OS and software "upgrades".

  • Creating Pages using jar file

    When I wrap up my JAR file (contains JSPs and classes) and use the portal interface to upload to a JAR file and point to the main JSP page - when I run it, it cannot find the class files that should be wrapped inside the JAR file. I can't find ANY documentation on how to do this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    From the PDK article Java Server Pages Support In Oracle9iAS Portal, located on Portal Center:
    In the current version of Portal, the support for JAR files is limited to the JAR files that have a set or combination of JSP pages, HTML files, and image files. No class files placed in a JAR file will be recognized by the container. As a workaround, you can put your class files in the /WEB-INF/classes directory.

  • APP recommendation for Pages and Numbers file security?

    I have a new IPAD 4 and I have Numbers and Pages files that need to be kept secure and protected. What APPs are best to either encrypt a group of files and/or password protect. Thank you

    You said you can't get instructions. Do you mean a real item or the getting started guide.  If you mean the getting started guide then it should be there if its not go into setting, and on the left side of the screen scroll down until you see pages and number and keynote if you need that as well.  Then you will chose one of the three apps on the side bar and turn on restore getting started.  If that doesnt help try to download the apps again.  Just remember to back up the documents in the app before you delete it and redownoad it from the purchesed tap in the app store.
