How do I copy a page from one Pages document to another using Pages 5.0?

I posted this question on another page, and haven't recieved an answer to it yet. However I have found a temporary solution, so I am posting this here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
The issue here is that I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverick (10.9.1), and my Pages also upgraded (to 5.0.1), altering my Pages documents. This is the issue, as as far as I can see the new Pages does not offer some of the basic needs that the old Pages did! In other words it is worse than the previous version.
Using the upgraded new Pages 5.0.1 seems to result in some major editing problems for me. If you upgrade, make sure you KEEP the old version of Pages 09 (v 4.3). That is what has saved me!  If you have the same problems I have had - explained below, you will still be able to close the new version and open your Pages document in the old version, provided it is not a new Pages document. If it is, it will be possible to export it as a Pages 09 document and edit properly.
After upgrading to the new Pages 5.0.1, when I open documents in Pages and try and copy a section from one document to another (easy before using the thumbnails) many of the Menu items previously available are visible but appear faded and are not possible, including Insert>Section Break/Page Break/Page Number and Edit>Cut/Copy/Delete/Undo/Redo
This even happens if I duplicate the Pages document and try and do any of these from the Duplicate (which should be an easily editable copy).
My solution has been to simply open all Pages documents that Iwant to edit (or may want to edit in future) in the old Pages app (v 4.3), which I never got rid of. That has meant I can continue editing and copying a section (of 1 or more pages) from one Pages document to another.
If anyone reading this has figured out a way to edit Pages documents using the new version 5.0.1 please post an explanation, and I will try it!

And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
    You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
    Tools > Pages > Extract
    and then:
    Tools > Pages > Insert from File

  • How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

    I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
    Any suggestions?

    Clicking and dragging does not work.
    Click on the image and Copy and Paste
    or
    Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
    You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

  • How to copy a node from one dom document to another?

    I have one dom document that I have to split up into multiple dom documents. I am able to get the inividual nodes that I want to put into seperate documents.
    My problem occurs when I create a new dom document and try to add the node from the parent document. I get an exception saying (copied from api: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node. )
    How can I make it so that I can copy a node from one document and add it to another.

    Have you checked out the API called importNode in the DOM Document. It lets you move nodes between different documents.
    This api lets you simply copy the existing node from one document into another. without creating any new nodes for it.
    I have done a small example please have a look.
    Book.xml

  • BPS Copy plan data from one cost center to another using vairables

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to copy the planning data from one cost center to another in BPS.
    I have just done it using a copy function and in the parameter group entering the costs centers for source and destinations.
    What I am trying now it is to let the user select what this destination cost center could be.
    I don`t know if this can be done using a variable. What I am thinking is; when the user enters executes the parameter group a pop-up appear that let him select the cost center for the destination.
    May be this is not possible. Can you suggest me other ways of doing this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    u can achieve this by creating a variable with the replacement type as  'User Defined Values'. You also need to enable the check box 'Input Allowed by user'. And at the planning level, in the 'Selection' tab, you should map the charecteristic (Cost Center) with the created variable. Same thing should be done at the planning package level.
    Then, when you execute the parameter group, a pop-up comes asking for the value of the costcenter.

  • How can I copy the layer from one .PSD file to another .PSD file?

    Hi,
    Actually it is shape and mask on one layer which I want to use it on my Photoshop CS4 file. If I select all the layer and copy it to my file it just copies the shape but not the mask. How can I copy MASK to my file?
    Please do hlep.
    Actually I am trying to copy the following layer.

    I believe the fastest way would be to duplicate the layer and send it to the other document. Open both images. Click the document tab of the document with the shape layer. With the shape layer selected in the layers palette, right click where it says the shape layer name. Select "duplicate layer" from the context menu. In the dialog that comes up, select the document you want to copy that layer to in the destination box then press ok.
    Alternately, you can open both images then pull the document frame tabs down to open both images in your workspace. Grab the shape layer in the document's layers palette by left clicking it...keep the left button pressed (hand icon should be a grab icon). While left button is still pressed, drag the shape layer over the receiving document. To make the shape layer register in the same location, press the shift key and keep it pressed. Release left mouse button while the layer is over the receiving document. Release shift key after you have released the left mouse button.
    This tutorial has a good photo reference for what I mean when I say pull the image tabs down so both documents appear in the same workspace...also shows drag/drop:

  • How do I copy editted clips from one project file to another?

    I am working on a project. At one point, before I finished I "saved as" with another name to give me a backup. After working on it for a while I found that a section of the video had gotten out of place (a lot of clips and layers). I would like to copy this portion from the other project file I had saved. I can't figure it out. Both projects have the same clips in the project bins. I am using Premiere 6.5, with a Pinnacle DV500 DVD capture card. My computer is a duel P3 800, 512RAM, 40Gig Sys. drive and 480 Gig RAID 0. Please Help!

    Throw away everything you don't want to copy, save as a new project, import the new project into the other one.

  • How do I copy iphoto libraries from one external drive to another?

  • Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

    I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one.  What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

    Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
    I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

  • How do I copy iTunes purchases from one iTunes library to another stored on the same computer but with different apple ID's?

    I recently set up a new iTunes account for my son by giving him his own Apple ID &amp; own login on the Mac we own.
    In addition I have an existing iTunes account with a different Apple ID &amp; different login on the same Mac.
    We would like to share some purchases but do not know how to copy or import certain files. The summary is two
    different apple ID's, different iTunes libraries, on the same computer, but different parts of the hard drive.
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

  • How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
    Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

    Does anyone know how to copy a page from one picture book into another. I have made 2 books and would like to make a third consisting of pages from the first 2 but seem unable to do it without starting again, or at least starting from a duplicate of one and re doing all the missing pages.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    print each page you want to include in "book 3" to a PDF and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will give you the pages as images in iPhoto that you can them place into "book 3"
