How can I import a .doc (MS Word) with "hidden text" to a new Pages document?

Without changing the specific text in .doc to non-hidden, nothing but empty line returns comes across.
I have several .doc files and I am trying to streamline a process.

There is no hidden text in Pages and if Apple implemented it chances are it would not be the same as Microsoft's.
There quite a few variations between Pages and MsWord so transferring documents between them is a hit and miss at the best of times.

  • How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?

    How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC.
    When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

    Sure thing.
    # Open the run dialog by holding the Windows key and pressing R
    # Type <code>%appdata%</code> into the run window and press ok
    # Open the ''Mozilla'' folder
    # Open the ''Firefox'' folder
    # Open the ''Profiles'' folder
    # Copy the folder that is located in this folder to a USB drive
    # Install and run Firefox on the new computer
    # Close Firefox
    # Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
    # Open the folder that you copied from the old computer
    # Copy the contents of that folder into the folder located inside of the new computer's profile folder
    # Allow Windows to replace any duplicate folders with the ones that you are copying onto the computer is prompted

  • How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    You can sync apps as you normally would, but I do not believe this copies over app specifc data (i.e. saved game status/scores).
    You can always restore your new device with a backup from your old device.

  • How can I have apps such as Words With Friends only update when on WiFi?

    After only having my iPhone for 5 days I have used 65% of my data, and I believe most of it is due to words with friends and chess with friends and hanging with friends.  How can I have apps such as those only update when on Wifi, or only update when I tell them to?
    I appreciate all feedback.

    Hold down the app till it jiggles then a minus sign will appear, tap the sign and the app is gone

  • How can I use automator to copy and paste excel content to a new empty document?

    Hi,
    I would like to copy and paste the content from an excel file to another empty new document using automator, which I created a workflow like below
    get specific finder item
    open excel workbook
    select cell from excel workbook (all content)
    obtain selected content from workbook
    copy to pasteboard the content of excel workbook
    close the excel workbook
    create new excel workbook
    paste copyboard content to excel workbook
    can anyone kindly suggest what's wrong with this workflow?
    Thank you so much
    Eddy
    (i know this is a number place but I couldn't find any excel seciton sorry guys...)

    now it only does one file at a time, whereas I would like to do multiple files simultaneously.
    If you try a search for "loop Automator" and also "folder actions" you may find some usable pointers on how to do that.  The first example on this page looks promising.

  • Plz help: how can i index multiple directories including pdfs with oracle text??

    problem:
    i habe several subdirectories with pdf files which must be indexed by a fulltext index.
    .../dir/
    sub_dir1/
    1.pdf
    2.pdf
    sub_dir2/
    3.pdf
    4.pdf
    it's possible that other users create new subdirs.
    try #1:
    i tried to update the FILE_DATASTORE parameter PATH with the concatenated directory list
    i.e.: (.../dir/subdir1:.../dir/subdir2:...) and updating the index.
    that fails, because the directory string is too long (1637 chars)
    try #2:
    i set the FILE_DATASTORE PATH parameter to the basedir
    i.e.: ('.../dir')
    now i generate a list of all pdf's including the subdirectories to store them into
    a new table.
    i.e.: '12345', 'subdir1/1.pdf'
    '23456', 'subdir1/2.pdf'
    this one fails, 'cause it seems that the database uses some kind of basename() function to
    get the "filename_only" part of the table entry 'subdir1/1.pdf' => '1.pdf'.
    so, the db fails to open (and indexing of cause) the file.
    how can i solve this prob?
    thanks in advance!!!
    best regards.
    /achim

    If you need to use multiple directories, you'll need to put the full directory and filename into the table, and not use the PATH attribute at all. PATH only works where all files are in the same directory (though you MAY find you can use more than one directory on certain OS's).

  • Help needed: How can I import a large audio collection with many playlists? iTunes crashes because so many playlists try to load and play at once.

    I've got a problem that I can't seem to figure out after reading scads of articles and posts. I'd be grateful for any help or ideas you can provide. Here's what's going on.
    I have a folder of GraphicAudio audio books. It contains roughly 500 subfolders, one for each book. In each folder are the mp3 files for the book and an m3u file that was supplied with the books at the time of purchase. None of this content is currently in my iTunes library.
    When I try to add this folder to my iTunes library, iTunes starts trying to play each playlist it encounters. It crashes after around 30 seconds. I suspect this is because it tries to switch and play playlists so rapidly.
    I don't actually want iTunes to start playing each playlist it finds. I just want to import my files. Once they're imported, I can select them and send individual books to my iPod Touch.
    Do any of you know of a work-around for this? I'm dreading the thought of having to import each subfolder one by one. I keep thinking that if I could just prevent iTunes from automatically trying to play the playlists, it would import the mp3s and playlist info without a problem. If there's no way to do this in iTunes, might there be a third party app that can manage it somehow?
    For reference, I'm using the latest version of 64 bit iTunes under 64 bit Windows 7.
    Thanks for taking the time to help me.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
    That said you should probably start by "undoing" the creation of extra mp3s. If you sort the song list on the Date Added column you can select then first song from the relevant batch, then scroll to the end of the group, hold shift and click to select the range. You can then delete and send to the recycle bin.
    My script won't be as effective against this group. The "Convert to format" tool may well specifiy a different bit rate from the source file, but it won't ever increase the quality of the audio. Clearly converting 128k mp3 to 256k mp3 would have no benefit so you want the original files.
    If you still have duplicates use the script to thin out what remains.

  • How can I get rid of these grey lines in the background of my pages documents?

    I bought an app out of the store that game me new templates to use in pages. I used one of the templates in making invitations for my little cousins birthday party but now there are these grey lines in the background that I cant get to go away. any suggestiions?
    thanks!

    "the store", "these grey lines"? You realise we can't see what you see. Could you describe the problem and the templates better? If you bought the templates from the MAS, which ones are they?
    Perhaps they are just locked objects.
    Can you click on them?

    They may also be master objects:

  • How do I setup my printer to print with only black ink in a pages document

    How do I setup a document to use black ink only in Pages?

    This is a Printer setting, rather than a Document one.
    For my Canon Inkjet, it's done in the Print Dialogue:
    As you can see from the second pop-up menu, I have saved this setting as a preset.
    The setting itself has only a single change from the supplied "Standard" setting—checking the Grayscale Printing checkbox.
    Going by appearances, the printer uses only the Black cartridge when printing in this mode, unless I have set "Use color cartridge" in the printer's utility software, a setting intended to allow you to print using only one cartridge when the other is out of ink. Greyscale printing using only the colour cartridge has less contrast, and usually shows a colour cast. Setting the printer utility to specify using only the K cartridge shows results essentially the same as those done in grayscale using the Print dialogue setting and not bothering to change the printer utility setting.

  • New i-pod broken cd rom drive- how can I import?

    My friend has a brand new i-iPod, but his cd rom drive isn't working.
    How can he import music? He has financial concerns, so buying a new drive/computer is not an option.
    He wants to use my computer, which is fine but then won't his iPod be linked to my computer? Sorry I'm not real knowledgable about these things.
    Can he put music onto his i-iPod from my i-iTunes, and then use his i-iPod to put it on his i-iTunes, so he can manage and edit?
    Thanks in advance.
