How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body. I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data. I have the table in numbers and excel.
When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing. The table appears to end at the end of the page.
I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
Its holding me back...
Any ideas?

Hello Loquitir,
I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
I hope I am clear in what I am describing.
Regards,
Nigel

How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

hi everyone
i need help
How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
• In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
• In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

How can you copy a table from Safari to Numbers

I am in the process of migrating from open office to Numbers, since Numbers really does look a lot nicer… however there is one point that I cannot find how to do in Numbers.
If I select a table in Safari, then in Open Office I can paste that table, and it will go into the rows/columns as a table. How can I do something similar in Numbers?

Welcome to the Apple forums
Safari & Numbers have improved in recognizing a table on a web page & pasting it as expected.
Often what looks like a table on a web page really isn't & the blame should be on the web page author not Safari or Numbers. I had this problem for a few years with my online Discover Card statements. Using Firefox or Camino made no difference. When I complained to them their response was "tough, live with it" although maybe not in those exact words. I would paste the data into a Pages document & use a lot of find & replace to get the data formatted to use in a Numbers spreadsheet.
But… it could be that the problem you're having is that you have the cursor active in the cell when you paste. If the cursor is active Numbers "thinks" you want to paste everything into that cell. Click outside the table then click once on the starting cell, making sure that the cell is outlined but you don't see the cursor & then paste. This is a much more common cause than above.

Can I paste football table from Safari into Numbers by Dec 23?

*Can I paste a table from Safari into Numbers - and get a table?*
Whether I use Paste or Paste Match Style (?) it just goes into one column, which is useless. Same result in Pages. But in the Appleshop demo I copied the table from Safari into Excel and it created a proper table.
Apologies if this is already answered. I am new to Mac and to iWorks. I've only got the evaluation version of iWorks v1.0. I was going to get the full version by Xmas - but this is a real showstopper. If I can't use the spreadsheet on web tables (price comparisons, stocks, etc etc) then iWorks won't do.
If it can't do this, are there any other solutions out there? Thanks.
*_Problem Description_*
1. In Safari select and Copy a table (here's the football league table http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/table/default.stm)
2. Paste the table into Numbers - as a table (not as a single column)
3. sort the table on descending GD

Hello
Some times ago, I posted a script for this kind of problem but I just discover (with your table) that I forgot a case.
Here is a revised version which I will put soon on my iDisk.
-- [SCRIPT Tables2Numbers_v5]
property nbCols : "3"
property english : true (* true= English messages, false = Messages Français *)
property msg1 : ""
property list1 : {}
if msg1 = "" then my prepareMessages()
set theDatas to (get the clipboard as text)
if theDatas does not contain tab then
set nbCols to text returned of (display dialog msg1 default answer nbCols)
set nbCols to nbCols as integer
set my list1 to paragraphs of theDatas
set nb to count of my list1
set nbRows to nb div nbCols
set newDatas to ""
repeat with i from 1 to nbRows
repeat with j from 1 to nbCols - 1
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & tab
end repeat
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + 1 + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to newDatas
else
set the clipboard to theDatas
end if
set my list1 to {}
on prepareMessages()
if english is true then
set msg1 to "How many columns ?"
else
set msg1 to "Nombre de colonnes ?"
end if
end prepareMessages
-- [/SCRIPT]
If you grab your table in the clipboard after counting the columns (here 16)
run the script
After that you may paste the table in Numbers (or in AppleWorks)

Embed table from Numbers 09 Document

I am using both Pages and Numbers when working with a business plan document. The content of the document is being authored in Pages and the financial documents are being managed with Numbers.
How can I integrate full page tables from Numbers into a Pages document?
With iWork 08 I was copying and pasting dozens of tables into Pages and doing basic formatting to make the entire table visible. I needed to paste these tables in a textbox in order to rotate them to landscape.
Is there an easier way to link these tables in iWork 09? I really like the linking of charts but I do not see any way to do the same for tables.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I have the same problem as you have (business plan...). Very annoying indeed. I already wrote a "pages feedback" to Apple. Perhaps you could do that, too. The more people "complain" the better.
The sad part is that we will probably have to wait for pages '10 to see that feature.
Best regards

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

How can I print sheet titles from Numbers?

how can I print sheet titles from Numbers?

Hi Rick,
"Believe it or not, Numbers just doesn't work as well for me as Excel."
I don't find that difficult to believe. If you need the functions supported by Excel and not by Numbers, then Excel is the tool to use. OTOH, your finding of 'more flexible' translates, at least in part to 'more familiar.' All applications, Excel included, force you into certain paths.

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema on Oracle XE?

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema on Oracle XE?

Hi,
I tried to use the insert/select statement that you had given, it did not work.
The error is ORA-00913: too many values.
But finally what I did was, I went into the system schema where the table was and generated the DDL through the utilities and afterwards I imported them into the schema that I am currently working on. It solved the problem!
However I am still curious to know why the insert/select statement did not work? Do you know any site/tutorial which gives a real time example?
Thank you
Skye

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema?

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema?

Grant access to the table from the source schema to destination schema.
GRANT SELECT ON <TABLE_NAME> TO <DESTINATION SCHEMA>A simple way would be to use CREATE Table with select syntax (in destination schema)
CREATE TABLE <TABLE_NAME> AS SELECT * FROM <SOURCE SCHEMA>.<TABLE_NAME><li>However, you would be in trouble when the table has index,constraints and triggers.
So you can better of grab the DDL statement of the table(and any additional components) andd then create the table in the destination schema.You can use SQL developer, Toad or Apex's Object browser for this.
After the table is created, Insert the records using SELECT.
INSERT INTO <TABLE_NAME> SELECT * FROM <SOURCE SCHEMA>.<TABLE_NAME>This question is discussed in great detail in this AskTom thread

How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
can I import the same way as I did previously??
but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
please help ...
thanks

Hi,
Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import. The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
In step 3 select the tables to import. (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed. This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model. To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model". This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

How do I copy a table from a Pages 09 document to a Pages 5 document

I am trying to copy a table from a Pages 09 document into the new version of Pages. When I select the table and copy, in the new version it turns it into text and does not copy the table structure. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

How to display a oracle table from a java program?

How to display a oracle table from a java program.
Hello friends, I have written a Java program, using oracle 10g as backend.
I want to display a oracle table as output. Im not getting how to display oracle table as a output table.. Pls help me
Thank you

jayanthds, you're not going to get a satisfactory
answer to this here. it's too big a task to justbe
quickly outlined in a forum - the reply "all youneed
to do is to query you table and return it asJTable"
is worthless, for example, since the solution to
any problem can be distilled to such a
soundbite, if need be. doesn't make the solutionany
simpler
essentially you're asking "how do I write adatabase
application?". all you'll get is snippets of code
that, when fitted together, will eventually helpyou
do this, but you'll spend days and days comingback
saying "right, I've done that, now what?" until
either you or the forum gets frustrated with the
whole affair and the process stops
there are entire books written about this subject,
and countless tutorials and guides on theinternet.
you're better off going down that routehehehe.well, it's true! I used to have a manager that would outline the solution to a problem in a few lines of pseudocode, and then firmly believe that the actual solution would be just as brief and simple. shame his pseudocode included such lofty abstractions as "reformat all data"

How to get name of table from front end

Hi,
How to get name of table from front end in EBS 11i?
thanx
Ashish

Hi
Sandeep is correct. The "Help"/"Record History" will give you the table/view name, but sometimes this particular menu function give me a "Record History is not available here." error message.
I then use the following menu functions (this will also give you additional information, like column details).
1) Open Forms
2) Click on Help/Diagnostics/Examine (*you might have to enter the APPS password at this point)
3) Change "Block" to "System"
4) Change "Field" to "Last_query"
The system will populate the "Value" field with the query that was executed in order to populate the form.

How can I copy/paste a page from one pages document into another pages document?

I have read the directions in the manual, but when I go to the document where I want to put the page the paste function is greyed out. I assume this has something to do with styles, but can't find what to do.

You got it.
Paste is greyed when we try to paste a page from a WP document into the thumbnails area of a Layout one.
It's active if we try to paste in the pages area.
In the document's tool bar, there is an icon with a + symbol at top left.
In WP documents it's named Sections, In Layout ones its named Pages.
