How do I open and use a large table from Word in Pages?

I upgraded my MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion a couple days ago. I knew that my old Word application wouldn't work, but several Apple people assured me that Pages could handle my old docs, including tables.
So, I purchased and installed Pages '09 this morning. I opened the table I use all the time - - and most of it is missing! Apparently, Pages doesn't handle large tables.
I need help - desperately! This table contains all my medical expenses for the year, so I have to have it.
Thanks

J,
Besides needing to have your Table Object Floating, you should know that the maximum number of rows in Pages Tables is 999.
If you continue to have problems opening your Word document and its table in Pages, try one of the free Office Clones, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, etc.
I'd bet that at least one of those free apps will work if Pages doesn't. By the way, have you tried viewing your Word document in Quick Look? To do that, click on the filename in Finder and hit the Spacebar key. You won't be able to do anything but view the document in Quick Look, but it would give you confidence that your file is OK.

Mac or Windows?
Have you actually installed it, or just downloaded your purchased copy? If just downloaded then you need to double-click the downloaded file from wherever you saved it to. This will run the installer and ask you to enter your serial number (which you should NEVER post in a public forum such as this).
If you have installed it, and if you're using Windows, it should have placed shortcuts on the desktop. But if not click Start and type 'photo' without the quotes and you should see an entry for PSE.

Problems opening and using Contacts files imported from PC.

I'm new to iPad and IOS.
Transferred my Contacts files from my PC which has now gone the way of all flesh.
Can pick up my individual email addresses for emails but cannot see my address groups (used for group emailing).
I can see the .contact and .group files on Knowhow but the Pad tells me I can't open those files.
How can I open the files, and why do the groups not show up when I 'm trying to select an email address.
Am I just being dumb or do I need to download different app ?
Grateful for any help. Thanks

How Can I Open and Use Excel Spreadsheets on my Mac?

I am trying to find out how to work with Excel (.xls) files on my Mac. I have the latest updates on my OS but my Numbers is about 3 yrs old.
I am able to work with the file on the Forum website, make adjustments.. but that is discouraged. The owners encourage me to copy the .xls file to my computer and work with it there and finally submit it for critique.
When I copy the file to the Mac, it seems to come in as a Numbers file.. at least that's what it is when I open it. When I work with cells, none of the algorithms work.. IOW, nothing changes with the results.
What have I tried..?
I have put Open Office on the computer. That supports Excel files. But I guess my old mind doesn't know how to "import?" the .xls file on my desktop into OO. So, I have not been able to make changes. Possibly I am not seeing what needs to be done.
I have also clicked on the file icon. Right clicked on it and selected "Get Info" and said to open the file in Open Office. Nothing happened when I actually tried to open that file.
I'm at a loss and this is pretty important.
I'm quite surprised that Numbers doesn't seem to allow working with .xls files I'm hoping I'm missing something

Thanks for the rapid replies...
I have NO problem opening the files. As I stated in my OP, it is all about WORKING with the file. IOW, this is a file to help me brew beer with changes in equipment size/configuration.. or simply changing a recipe.
When I change the size of my brew kettle, the algorithms should modify parameters in different places to modify how much water I would have to use, how much boil off I should expect.. etc etc. Or if I want to modify the batch size of the brew from 20 gallons to 5 gallons.. when I imput that data, the recipe should change accordingly. When I do this on the forum site.. it works. When I import it the algorithms don't change the numbers.
What I get when I open the file, even as suggested by 'kkaufmann87" is that
"Unsupported formulas were replaced by the last calculated value".... which were the values I had when I copied the file to my computer.
Kolgrath. This question was suggested by another person on that beer forum.. and Google Docs will not work either.

How can I store and use my library solely from my iPad and not use my Mac

I have an iPad and I'm currently using iTunes Imatch to sync my music from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad. But I will no longer have access to my Mac. How can I transfer all music to just my iPad and access all music to be used from the iPad and iPhone

Again, i-devices are not realy intended to be used as stand-alone devices, certainly not when you're talking about extended options. We do use an iPhone without a computer but it has never been synced in the 2 years we have had it and has no media on it other than what is produced by the camera.
You talk about downloading new music, but without the Mac you pretty much won't be able to do that anyway. You can purchase music from the iTunes Store and then it is, or course, in iCloud and can be downloaded to other devices too from there (with small limitations into which I won't go).

How do I open and save a jpg attachment from mail?

I received an email that has a jpg photo. This photo is an attachment. In my Inmail there is a paper clip next to the name of the person who sent the email. I want to be able to copy the jpg photo and put it someplace else. Is there any way this can be done? I am new to all of this.

Try holding down the jpeg picture for a second or two, an option to copy or save should appear.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

HOW TO OPEN AND SAVE FILES TO/FOR MS-WORD 2007 .docx format

MS-Office 2007 will open .docx files as well as .doc files. Apple's Pages '08 can OPEN MS Word 2007 documents with the new file format ".docx". Pages '08 can not save as ".docx" files, just ".doc" files, but since MS Office 2007 can open these ".doc" without a problem, you should be covered.
Here is how.
To open: Just double click the file and Apple's Pages '08 will import the file and open it for you to use and modify.
To save and use at your work or school's Windows MS Word 2007: When you are done and ready to save the file, go to FILE in the menu bar in Pages '08 and select EXPORT. Then pick the icon DOC WORD and click NEXT. Then in the SAVE AS box, give it a name and tell where you want to save your file to. Click EXPORT. Export is like Save, as it will now save the file where you told it to save it to. Remember you can use the same name, or give it a new name. Thats it. EASY.
It will save the file in a Windows Word format of ".doc" that MS Word 2007 can open and use.
Hope this helps people.

Why yes. How did you know that I saw the way, the truth and the light?
I just had so many people ask me how to do this, that I thought I might share it with as many people as I could and help the masses To bad that Apple just did not have it as a simple "Save As:" Maybe in the next update.

24109 12000
24110 0 0 0
24111 0 0 0
in this table cst_op_balnce and cost_closing_balace is null
i have display cost_op_bal and cost_closing_balnce
cost_closing_balance=cst_op_bal+cst_addition+cst_transfer+cst_disposal
for period 2408 op_balnce=0 closing_bal=0
for period 2409 op_balnce=0 closing_balce=1200
for period 2410 op_bal=1200 closing_bal=1200

Hi,
user11118871 wrote:
Can you explain what that is? Thank you if you have one example.
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 1 PRECEDING
When you use the analytic SUM (c) function, then, on each row, it returns the values of column (or expression) c from several rows in the result set added together.
Which rows? That depends.
If the analytic clause (the part in parentheses after OVER) does not include ORDER BY, then it is all rows.
If the analytic clause has an ORDER BY clause, but no windowing clause (that is, ROWS BETWEEN ... or RANGE BETWEEN ...), then the rows included in the sum are all rows up to and including the row where the function is being called (as sorted by the analytic ORDER BY).
If the analytic cluase has both ORDER BY and a windowing clause "ROWS BETWEEN x PRECEDING AND y PRECEDING", then the rows included in the sum are the rows from x to y rows before the one where the function is called.
Do some experiments with different values of x and y.
First, create a table like the one in the problem above, but simplified a little.
CREATE TABLE     test_sum
(      period     NUMBER
,      new_amt     NUMBER
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24108,     1);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24109,     4);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24110,     2);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (24111,     8);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (25001,     32);
INSERT INTO test_sum (period, new_amt) VALUES (25002,     16);
COMMIT;The original problem above used names that were meaningful for its application, and columns that have nothing to do with the SUM function. Let's simplify the former and lose the latter.
That problem involved the SUM of three columns added together. Since we just want to understand how the windowing clause works, let's simplify that to one column.
With these simplifications, my original query is:
SELECT       period
,       new_amt
,       SUM (new_amt) OVER ( ORDER BY          period
                                     ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
                             AND          1            PRECEDING
                    ) AS opening_balance
,       SUM (new_amt) OVER ( ORDER BY          period
                    ) AS closing_balance
FROM       test_sum
ORDER BY period;Given the data above, it produces these results:
.   PERIOD    NEW_AMT OPENING_BALANCE CLOSING_BALANCE
     24108          1                               1
     24109          4               1               5
     24110          2               5               7
     24111          8               7              15
     25001         32              15              47
     25002         16              47              63So, for example, on the row where period=24110,
opening_balance=5, which is the total of new_amt from all rows up to but not including that row: 5=1+4, and
closing_balance=7, which is the total of new_amt from all rows up to and including that row: 7=1+4+2.
To really understand how the windowing clause works, do some experiments. Change the definition of opening_balance to include " BETWEEN x PRECEDING AND y PRECEDING". You'll find that:
(a) "UNBOUNDED PRECEDING" means the same as "n PRECEDING", where n is greater than the number of rows in your result set.
(b) "CURRENT ROW" means the same as "0 PRECEDING"
(c) x must be greater than or equal to y
(d) neither x nor y can be negative (but you can use "FOLLOWING" instead of "PRECEDING" to get the same effect).
For more, see the introduction to "Analytic Functions" in the [SQL Language manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions001.htm#sthref972]
When you're finished, don't forget to
DROP TABLE     test_sum;
