Exporting Tables to Word from Pages

I designed this really neat diary. I have two problems:
1. It is really slow - when I type an entry.
2. When I try to export it to Word (Mac or Windows) . It bears no resemblance to my original - tables broken into two etc.
The Pageset up appears to be the same along with margins etc.
Any ideas?
David

1. Tables are a object, so that could explain the slowness, especially if wrap is turned on.
2. Even using the same fonts, sizes, margins, etc. Word & Pages on the same Mac don't display the same. I've actually had better luck opening an exported file in Word for Windows & that changes fonts most of the time. I do notice that Word (Mac or PC) doesn't handle the Pages hyphenation. I'm not sure if it's lost in the export from Pages or the opening in Word.

Exporting an altered graphic from pages for use in other apps

Does anyone know how to export a graphic, altered in Pages to like iphoto for example?
The reason i am asking is i had a logo i needed to alter. The logo is a sphere but had a white space box around it that i needed to remove. Using the Instant Alpha feature in Pages gave me the results i want but i cant get the graphic out of Pages. Instant Alpha in Preview doesnt work the same. It removed everthing white therefore making the logo look aweful.
Any ideas?
THanks

what do you want to do with your Pages graphics? .. vector graphics VS pixel graphics
A: in case of vector graphics .. export to PDF .. newer vector design software should manage the graphical infos inside
B: in case of pixel graphics .. export to PDF .. open in Preview .. safe as pixel file .. JPG / PNG / TIFF / what ever
C: in case of pixel graphics with alpha channel info .. separate your desing elements on separate pages .. then the export way B for every single sheet PDF to bring it to pixels .. then open your pixel software (Pixelmator / Photoshop) .. load the separated elements into layers .. select / cut / manage your alpha channel content .. marge the finished pixel graphic with alpha into one background layer .. save image
by that way .. my yellow logo i did in Pages '09 .. then export to PDF .. opened in Preview .. safed as PNG
cheers .. AP

Using tables - wanting to create long table that runs from page to page

I want to create a table to which I can add rows as I work (alphabetizing). The final table will end up being 6-7 pages long. Inserting a page break did nothing--all rows below where the page break is still disappear and do not go onto the next page. This is a Word feature that I'm hoping I can have on appleworks. Does it exist?
I cannot put Word on this computer since I'm not running an OS high enough (I have 10.2.8)

Cyndi:
Just wondering if you found your answer. I am having the same issue. I did finally figure out after several days of reading searches how to add pages to your table which is in >Format > document > then select the box for how many pages you want to go down or across in the box to the lower right corner. Then you can insert cells by highlighting the row by holding option key as you drag across the row & in Table click insert cells. Hope that helps. You can determine whether the table is horz. or vert. in > file > page set up. Click on the image of the page/man that displays the orientation that most closely fits your needs.
However, the problem that I'm continuing to have is that the >insert page break command does not appear to work in Tables. It remains greyed out no matter what I've tried. Short of trying some "tell" command that a fellow using 10.4. in Pages suggested. I'm in Appleworks 6 running on my iBook, as you are. I saw a reply from ms Peggy suggesting that there is some difficulty in getting that to work, and so far I would have to agree. Her idea was to add cells such that they would fall over the page break, which you can see using the >page view command in the Window drop down menu. But that would not be so neat with the lines running vertically from the top of page to the first box. I guess it could be squeezed down to the size of the "break". Is that all there is ?

AMDP exporting table with fields from various sources

I am writing an AMDP that has an output table a list of employees and attributes. These attributes have various sources with various keys. If I cannot with any practicality construct this table with a single select statement, which given my search criteria, I probably can't, must I break my output table into multiple output tables that can be created with a single select?
I declare the structure of output table et_employees in the class as something like
      BEGIN OF ty_employee,
        emp_id(12)    TYPE c,
        emp_name(80) TYPE c,
        org_unit(8)   TYPE c,
        region(5)     TYPE c,
        country(3)    TYPE c,
        jb_prf_as     TYPE c,
        sol_gr_as     TYPE c,
        snippet(1000) TYPE c,
        score         TYPE integer,
      END OF ty_employee,
      tt_employes type table of ty_employee.
As far as I can tell, I cannot do an update et_employees in the method to modify individual fields. I can only do the select statement.
I see my choices as
elaborate select statement that I may or may not be able to construct (haven't thought this through but it may be doable)
more than one output table
create multiple local tables and then do a join on them for the output table.
I am seeing the last one as my best option.
To throw in an unrelated issue, AMDP procedure cannot seem to cope with a table that begins with a slash, e.g., /MRSS/D_SQP_ESTR. The USING statement is o.k. but any access in a select or inner join gets an error.

Hi Deborah,
let me do some assumptions on your problem and then try to help you:
Assumption A: You only like to query data from tables, which, I simply assume, are available in the ABAP data dictionary. In this case, I don't think there is a performance gain with AMDPs compared to OpenSQL, so just use OpenSQL and do joins on the relevant tables, leading to exaclty one resultset in the output.
Assumption B: You need the AMDP because you have a good reason and you like to query data from tables employee_source_a and employee_source_b for your resultset. In case yes, you can e.g. use "temporary" tables (don't declare them explicitly), e.g. use the construct like:
lt_employee_source_a = select ...from employee_source_a ...;
lt_employee_source_b = select ... from employee _source_b...;
et_employee = select ... from :lt_employee_source_a ... (inner/left outer) join lt_employee_source_b on...;
Or you could use the CE_JOIN function if that suits your SQLScript development better.
To elaborate a query statement for et_employee for without the lt_xxx tables is hard to say from your question - it should be posible if there are no nasty aggregations/calculations which prevent it :-).
There's no need to use two resultsets in the output in case that's not what you need in the application.
The option to have several resultsets is rather a feature of DB Procedures, which allow for several resultsets while a view/OpenSQL query can only give you one resultset.
Conclusion: You answered your question yourself, the last option seems to be the best option :-).
Concerning the "slash issue": Guessing around I'd propose to use quote the table name like "/MRSS/D_SQP_ESTR"... but just a guess. Could you please post the error message or open a second discussion on the issue?
Cheers,
Jasmin

Export xml or reveal tags from pages

Does anyone know of a way to export an XML document from pages? Or any form of document that leaves the heading tags visible. eg "h1","a href…"
I have a lot of word documents that are already formated and it would save me a lot of time if I could export the text in a format that could be easily read by my flash file rather than copying, pasting and reformatting the text.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

That's from 2004... lightyears ago.
Try your idea...but I don't know how well it will work. How will Avid connect to the media and all that.
the BEST workflow is Automatic Duck. Don't have it...get it. Simple, straightforward...and it works. You can also try Boris AAF...cheaper. I haven't tried it...I use the Duck.

Export Table along with Link Files

Moved from 1.6 to 2.0.
Exported my application from 1.6 and imported it into 2.0 - used "Application Export" feature - works fine.
Exported most of my tables from 1.6 to 2.0 - used "Table Export" feature - works fine.
Problem, I have certain Tables that reference/link to "uploaded files". These are PDFs, SLS and other files - now referenced/linked by these Tables. How do I move over these tables and their linked/uploaded files?

Maybe this should have been posted with a title of Backup Process.
We had a server running 10.1 and HTMLDB 1.6. We installed another server and put 10.2 on it with HTMLD 1.6. We couldn't move over everything because we were going from 10.1 to 10.2 -- so we moved over the tables -- this was recommended by Oracle.
Our tables came over ok but those tables that had attachments/links/uploads in them came over without the attachments/links/uploads. In their place came cryptic references(pointers?) but not the attachemnts.
Our end game here is to have 2 servers so that if one fails then we can use the other server. We are now upgrading both servers to 10.2. When both servers have 10.2 we will stop upgrading (for a long time) the database. The database had to be upgraded because of a bug in the Enterprise Manager Backup Process.
We will want new versions Applcation Express/HTMLDB. We would upgrade both machines to keep them compatable.
Maybe there is utility (that we can comprehend) that allows us to Export tables with attachments from one server and Import them with their attachments into the other server. Or, maybe going forward we should not try to move tables with attachments using Application Express export utilities but move over workspaces or schemas or something.

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
" Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
• PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
• Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
• RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
• Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported.Â ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

Export from Pages in pdf and word

I made a report in Pages (05) (only 4 pages long) with a few photographs and exported it into a Word file because I needed to print through Microsoft (using a usb stick); Microsoft could not open the file; the same problem with this file exported in pdf (Adobe Reader); also on my own computer the Word program does not open the file (office 2004 for Mac); the pdf works fine;
after installation of iWork 06 the problem remained the same;
other files from Pages, from the past wich I saved in Word, don't have this problem; opening is not a problem;
is there a special reason for this one file to cause problems??
thanks, Dag

I've checked the foto's and their info once more, and there all in .jpg;
in fact, I 've opened the same template again, imported one of the same foto's and exported it in Word,.....no problems!!!
I guess it stays a mistery, any way many thanks for your reply,
greetings, Dag

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

When I try and export from pages to word I get an unknown error. No font issues that I know of.

I used to be able to export documents from pages to word. Things seemed to have changed after Lion. Whenever I go to export to Word, I get "an unknown error has occurred". I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue. It's a brand new document with Helvetica as the only font.
Thanks, chadrs

I'm unaware of such change.
May you send the Pages document to my mailbox ?
Click my blue name to get my address.
I would check the way it behaves on my own system.
This way we would know if the culprit is the doc or your system.
You wrote "I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue."
Must I understand that you trashed the fonts cache file dedicated to iWork ?
If you didn't (what I assume), trash it for see.
This file is :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
For safe I repeat that under Lion, to reach this Library folder we must press the option key while opening the menu "Go to" to be able to trigger the menu item "Library".

A warning re exporting from Pages to Word

I am glad for germantownmark (on 4th February) that he was able to resolve the exporting of a Pages document to Word and that in the event he did not need Fruhulda's help.
However, I wish to point out that Exporting from Pages is not necessarily always successful.
In particular the exporting of MathType expressions is as yet unsuccessful. Although the main text will be OK the MathType will appear a seeming miles above the line of text. Which is unacceptable.
(An "Export Warning" first appears which contains the words "Exported Math Type Equations can't be edited". And then one can see the outcome for oneself when the resulting Word document is opened...)
I became aware of this problem ages ago and notified Apple Support - and have been given a case number for it. But so far there has been no update of Pages which eliminates this problem.
NB Because MathType is also accessible elsewhere in iWork09 such an update should be across the board.

Why is it unacceptable ?
Apple never stated that exporting Pages to Word will give an exact replicate of the original.
They just stated that you may export, no lees, no more.
It's time to learn the meaning of advertisement language.

MS Word spellcheck goes crazy after export from Pages

I exported two long documents (250 pages each) from Pages 5.0 to Word (.docx) format. When I open the documents in Word for Mac 2011 everything seems fine – until the spellcheck runs. It comes up with hundreds of false positives.
For instance, the following words are all marked as misspelled: if, understanding, wasn't, isn't, student, – and so on and so on, throughout the whole document. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Previous to export I had checked spelling in Pages. So there shouldn't have been any misspelled words at all, let alone all these crazy false positives.
Has anybody experienced this? Has anyone got any advice on how to fix this? I know I can just turn off spellchecking in the Word documents, but I'd like to keep it on.
I'm running OS X Mavericks (10.9) on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
Thanks.

I know what you mean, fruhulda. But MS Word is working just fine with all my other documents that weren't exported from Pages.
It makes me wonder if there is something underying the text when the files are exported, something that is throwing off the MS Word spell checker.
My next test will be to export to text then open in Word. (My documents have very little formatting.) If spellcheck works fine then, I'm forced to wonder whether something about the export process from Pages to Word is problemmatic, or at least problemmatic for Word. But exporting to Word is the whole point, so there shoulnd't be these issues.
In other words, how can you have a feature that claims to export to Word that can't handle something as basic as spell check?
My documents (books) ultimately need to reside in Word so the publisher can work with them. I like working in Pages. It feels cleaner than Word. So I work in Pages and then export. But with this problem I'm seriously considering whether I shouldn't just write in Word from the start and avoid the problems that can come with exports. Somehow I feel like there are bound to be more.
