"Heading 1 A" styles in Word docs

When a Word document is opened in Pages '09, its heading style are imported as plain style with a new name, i.e. "Heading 1 A" instead of "Heading 1". The style "Heading 1" also appears in the document, but with the default formating.
The expected behavior would be to import the proper formating from the Word document, instead of creating new styles with adjusted names.
Please confirm that this isn't the intended behavior.

My guess is that Pages doesn't want to 'corrupt' its own predefined styles with those grabbed from a Word document.
Only Apple engineers would be able to tell you if the behavior is the designed one.
As an end user like you (and others on the forum), I just guess that it is the designed one.
If you are not satisfied, the official channel is:
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

  • Remove Header and footer from Word Docs

    Is it possible to remove the header/footer from Word docs?
    The html output from ctx_doc.markup gets the header/footer and (specialy)page numbers all messed up.
    []'s
    thanks

    Please define 'messed up'. I'll reproduce here and then try to find a cause/solution. I checked a couple of other forums and Metalink with no good discussion on the topic.

  • Need to re-tag some Para styles of imported Word docs

    I'm hoping someone can help. I have a fairly modest-sized help system that is created from imported Word Docs (Office Word 2003). These documents use conventional paragraph styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).
    In my RoboHelp X5 project, I've created a custom CSS file that I apply to the imported Word docs. After importing any of the docs, some of my paragraph styles become misaligned: for example, my Heading 3 paragraphs are flush with the left margin, rather than indented as they should. When I click inside the mis-aligned paragraph, I see that the paragraph is indeed tagged as Heading 3. At fist I thought it might have been my CSS file style definitions, but they appear to be fine. In fact, all I have to do to correct the paragraph alignment is to reassert the tag (ie From the RB Project window, click the para (the fomating combo box reads Heading 3), reselect (reapply) the style (Heading 3), and then select "Reapply formatting  of the style to the selection" from the Update/Reapply Style dialog. RH then correctly applies the alignment defined for the style in my CSS. Note, this appears only to be an alignment issue; the fonts and other attributes always seem to work on import. Unfortunately, I have to do this hundreds of times because I seem to have several styles that need retagging after import.
    Any ideas? I downloaded a trial copy of RB 8, hoping this was peculiar to X5, but RB8 behaved the same way.  If it's any help, I've pasted the HTML coding for a Heading 3 paragraph, 1) just after import 2) the para after Heading 3 style was reasserted. For some reason RH is "margin left" and "text-indent" attributes.
    1) Immediately after import
    <h3 style=
    "margin-left: 40.3pt; text-indent: -40.3pt;">2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">     
    </span>Using the Stylus</h3> 
    2) After retagging as heading Heading 3
    <h3>
    2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">     </span>Using the Stylus</h3>
    Thanks.....rob

    Judging from the excess spacing between the "2.2.1" and the H3 title, I suspect that your Word file has a tab set in there. I believe replacing the tab with one or two spaces should import the file without the indent.
    As to the font (span) tagging, are you sure that your Heading 3 style in Word is the original, default Heading 3, and not some re-styled Heading 3 based on Normal or something else, or a "Heading 3 + Font: 7 pt, Times New Roman", which would indicate inline modification of the style rather than a global replacement of settings for the style? I've never seen RH add span tagging unless it encounters non-standard styles in the base document.
    Select a test .doc file. Before importing it to RH, try these:
    Use Format Painter in Word to manually re-style any non-standard paragraphs.
    Do not attach a .css to the Word file, only to the resulting RH topic.
    Do you see a difference?
    Good luck,

  • How to embed an illustrator file into a word doc to make a template

    I am trying to make a word template for my company's proposals that we send out to clients. I have created the image in illustrator as an 8.5x11 and saved it for 'web & mobile' use with the highest quality setting. I open the document in microsoft paint, copy everything, and then paste it into the header section of my word doc. I choose the option to bury behind text. My problem is that when I paste from paint into word, the document shrinks and is no longer 8.5x11. This requires me to stretch the image, but it pixelates it beyond what I can allow to be used. Is there an easier way to make a word doc template? I am using Illustrator cs4 and Microsoft 2007 (I know, its really really old).

  • More than heading 3 in Split on Style when importing Word doc?

    Hi
    I hope that you can help me. My Word document (Windows XP)
    has Heading 4 style.
    When I import the word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML, the
    Split on Style box only has Heading 1, 2, and 3. Why doesn't
    Heading 4 show up? Can RoboHelp 7 split topics on Heading 4 or more
    styles on import? If so, how?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi, all,
    I am so confused! I was wondering, dyhw, if you
    figured out this situation?
    I also have a Word 2003 document that has a fairly clean
    template and 4 heading levels: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and
    Heading 4. The Word TOC generates just fine.
    When I import into RH 7, I tried with "preserve heading
    levels" both off and on; "convert TOC" both off and on--no luck.
    What is happening is that although Heading 4 topics are created in
    the TOC, there is no separate HTM file--the topics are appended to
    the Heading 3 (book).
    On import, the "Split on Style" dialog lists in the "Create
    new topics based on" checkboxes only H1, H2, and H3--as well as
    TOC1, TOC3, TOC4, and BodyText (???). Where is Heading 4? And what
    does "Rename style (F2)" do? I tried to use that to rename TOC4 to
    Heading 4, but that didn't seem to change anything.
    I am *very* confused as to how to import my Word doc and
    actually see generated Help--and I haven't been able to apply my
    skin, either--but I guess that is another topic in the forum...
    Any help, guidance, etc. will be gratefully accepted! I have
    looked at the topic referenced in this thread and couldn't see
    anything listed that I haven't already tried.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kathy

  • Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

    In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
    Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
    This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
    This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
    Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
    Thanks

    Ask in the ID forum...

  • Placing Word docs with custom style mapping

    I am trying to place Word 2007 docs in InDesign CS3 using custom style mapping.
    When I place the Word doc, InDesign creates a whole new set of styles with the correctly mapped new names but with the Word style definition. It records no name conflicts with the my already existing styles of the same names. Each of the new styles has the disc icon next to it, showing it was imported.
    If I delete each of the styles I can replace it with my original InDesign style, but isn't the point of style mapping to eliminate that step?
    Thanks.

  • Losing Paragraph style when linkind word Docs

    Hi
    New to InDesign CS5.
    My client wants to edit text files so I am trying using the text link function in Indesign, but when I update the Word document I lose all my Paragraph and Text styles that I have applied in Indesign.
    Is there a way keep the paragraph and text style when updating linked Word doc files?
    Thanks

    But don't hold your breath in hoping the client keeps to the set of styles.
    In some cases, I've been locking down my Word files so that editorial contributors can only make text edits. It works a treat - except when they want to perform major edits. In those cases, I unlock the file for 'em and give 'em a lecture about how much extra they're going to pay in DTP costs when I have to reflow large parts of the document due to excessive significant changes at the tail end of a translation workflow. That also works quite well.
    I'd be a huge fan of InCopy if it were free, or had an install base like that of MS Word. However, since precisely zero of the people who have wanted to be involved in the editorial processes of the projects I handle have ever heard of InCopy, in the entire time since the introduction of InDesign CS, it's a tough sell.

  • Strange bug: Acrobat 9 deletes words upon conversion from Word doc

    Situation: converting from MS Word 2007 (SP2) to Acrobat 9 Standard (v 9.2.0) in WinXP.
    I've tried this repeatedly. The first word in multiple headings disappear when converted to PDF (they remain in the Word doc, but don't exist in the PDF that was produced from the doc).
    Example: "Correlation Analysis" becomes " Analysis".  This is happening to the text of every "Heading 2" style heading. All the other headings are unaffected.  Does anyone know why this is happening?
    This is insidious because we assume that the finished doc matches the original one. So now I have to also proof the Adobe conversion for unexpected deleted words?
    In the meatime, I'll return to Adobe 8 to do these conversions.

    I see a similar problem being reported in this posting:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2370280
    No resolution there either.
    Regarding your suspicion that it may be related to Word, what contradicts that is the fact that the full text of the header appears in the resulting PDF bookmark!!  However, the first word of the text is missing from the heading in the PDF (though it remains in the source Word doc).
    Also, I am NOT referring to the page header or footer.  I'm referring the text heading in the body of the document. In my case, only the "Header 2" styled headings are affected.

  • Problems importing a Word doc into Robohelp HTML

    I have a 116-page Word document with 13 chapters. When I
    import this document into Robohelp HTML as a winhelp output file,
    only two topics are created, rather than 13. On the Conversion
    Options window, I select to have new topics created by Word style
    "Heading 1" which are my chapter titles. Why doesn't Robohelp
    create the topics, and what should I change to faciliate that?
    Also, why don't my numbered lists from Word stay numbered in
    Robohelp? Is there a way to automate numbered lists?

    Thanks for your reply.
    When I insert .gif files JDeveloper ends with a message saying "Process exited with exit code 0". I then go and check in the database and I find the image added to the table.
    With a word doc, JDeveloper does not give that message. No message at all regarding what the status of the process is. And the document is not added to the database. No error messages too. Could this be an issue with Oracle?

  • Converting Word DOC to PDF changes to PP

    I'm converting a Word DOC to PDF, and my header has several Registered marks. In Word it looks fine, but the PDF has added the letter 'P' before and after, changing '®' to 'P®P'
    I've tried the same source doc on two different machines, and tried using earlier revs of the source doc.
    I'm running Word 2003 SP3 and Acrobat 7.0.0.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

    I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
    You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine.

  • Linking Word Docs in RH8 - Need Workflow Critique, Best Practices Tips, etc.

    Me: TCS 2
    Writer 2: Word 97, Acrobat Pro 8
    Software industry
    Help File Specs: Using RH8 to output to AIR Help (prior to current project = CHM), approx. 500 topic legacy help system (apparently created several years ago from the Word U.G; no CSH, index, or glossary); project uses one master page and one CSS
    Project Challenges: Big new features being added at the 9th hour, deadline moved UP by two months, have just been given a writer to help document new features but she only has Word and Acrobat (and we both work from our home offices)
    After reading everything in the RH Help on Linking Word docs, Peter's info (RH8 Tour on Grainge.org), the related posts I found here, and watching RJ's demo on Linking vs. Importing, I've come up with a tentative workflow. Going to do some tests, but wanted to get this posted in the meantime.
    Workflow
    1. Generate separate Word file for each of the existing RH topics Writer 2 will need to update.
    2. Apply template to Word files that matches my CSS styles (?)
    3. Create Word template matching my CSS styles for Writer 2 to use for new topics.
    4. Writer 2 updates/creates content. Each Word file =One RH Topic.
    5. I delete the existing topics she now "owns" from the project.
    6. When she's done with her first pass, I link all of these into the project.
    7. When she supplies revised files, I drop them into the folder, then do "Update" (or "Force Update"?)
    8. She also supplies a commented PDF version of each file to me to say "XYZ.jpg goes here" or "Make sure to include this topic in the TOC". (From what I've read, images from Word to RH = headache, and I don't enjoy files names such as "Image0001"...already a big pain since this project originated in Word and my client is in love with screen captures...trying to "wean" them off.)
    Questions/Comments
    - I know you can bring TOC entries over from Word, but think I'll spend more time messing with trying to integrate into the "master" TOC than just manually doing it.
    - Can I just have Writer 2 use the Word Comments feature to pass info on to me, or would those show up in my output or cause some other issue?
    - Can Writer 2 use Word cross-references that would become hyperlinks to the correct topics in RH given above (or would all of her "topics" have to be in one Word file to do this)? Any way she can "code" text to end up creating a link to one of my topics, or am I going to have to do this?
    - Would I be better off generating one big Word file for her to edit, then telling RH to break it at a certain heading style instead of the 1-to-1 ratio I had in mind?

    Hi there
    In my own opinion, Panning is a nice attempt, but just doesn't cut the mustard. It's nowhere near as good as the panning one sees with Camtasia Studio.
    I might suggest combining Camtasia with Captivate for the ultimate development set. There are aspects Captivate shines in when compared with Camtasia, and there are aspects Camtasia shines in when compared with Captivate. So I say if you can afford it, go for it!
    Now I know that both packages are sort of pricey and not everyone can afford both. In that case you might want to try Jing, which is free to use. I've not looked very deeply at it, but it may offer some of what Camtasia does. You could then use that for your panning and enhance Captivate that way.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Font changes when converting Word doc to PDF

    I have Acrobat 9 and MS Office 2007. When I convert to PDF a Word doc with Heading 1 set to Arial Bold, the Heading 1s does not convert correctly. The font style, size, and bold all change. If I change the Heading 1s to just Arial the Heading 1s convert to PDF just fine. Any else run into this?

    Yes.  I found it will work okay if you select a regular font and then select bold.  Don't select a BOLD FONT type.
