How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

How can I copy text from Pages and paste as Unicode?

I notice that if I write a Pages document on my iMac (this is Pages 09 running under OSX Mavericks 10.9.1) and copy text that contains characters from the "Mac Roman" character set (like the Greek letter pi for example, and some other mathematical symbols), if I paste it into a text file on a PC (I'm running the Mac with Windows via Parallels), then these characters don't show up correctly. If they were copied as Unicode characters then I don't think the problem would exist. I thought that Pages used Unicode, but it doesn't apparently apply to stuff that gets onto the Mac clipboard. I do know that if I export a whole Pages document it is possible for it to be exported in Unicode, but I just want to copy small bits of text like mathematical formulae and paste them into Unicode-compliant applications. Is this possible? There's nothing in the Pages Preferences to suggest that it is. Is there any solution to this?
TIA

Tom, I'm sorry I think I have wasted your time. My initial experiments seemed to show that what I was trying to do didn't work, but now it all seems to work. No idea why. I think there is a problem somewhere, but not where I thought it was. I think what may be happening is that when the Mac clipboard sees some Mac Roman text, it converts and stores it in Unicode form, so things work as long as the receiving app is Unicode aware - or Parallels is doing the job for me, or Pages is. Good if this is true. The only issue then would be that, if a program for the PC is looking for characters by their encodings, it will have to use the Unicode ones to find things, whereas the equivalent code on a Mac will have to look for the Mac Roman encodings as well as Unicode.
Just to explain, I am not using a specialised mathematical formula editor, but I do expect my user to use the math symbols easily accessible on the Mac keyboard, particularly the Greek letter pi (lower case), division sign, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, square root. The user can type text directly or paste it in from another application. On the PC side I am not using Microsoft Word but a program I'm developing that can create fields into which I can put text, similar I suppose to NotePad. Just to be able to be cross-platform, I expect users to use the built-in Windows Character Viewer or similar to make the same symbols accessible as in the Mac version.
If everyone was using Unicode the problem (if there is one) wouldn't exist.
I may well come back with a similar issue in the future, but my original issue, although the description was given in good faith, seems to be wrong. So I'm saying the problem is solved.

How can I place text from an external file as an updatable link?

Currently we create presentation documents InDesign. Each presentation page is a linked Illustrator file (the file contains drawings and description texts). We write the text in Illustrator instead of over it in InDesign because multiple designers/writers will work on each page. We have text that sometimes appear on multiple pages, this text has previously been copied and pasted into each Illustrator file that it needs to appear in, this is inefficient and prone to error.
Is there a way to link to a text file in Illustrator that remains updatable? I poked around here and found information relating to Variable Data – things similar to Data Merge in InDesign. This isn't the solution I'm looking for however. It seems like a plugin or script is the solution.
much appreciated
Ray

I have to imagine that you have good reasons for structuring the workflow as you describe. However, this:
We write the text in Illustrator instead of over it in InDesign because multiple designers/writers will work on each page.
doesn't make sense to me. Between the two, InDesign, (particularly CS6), is far more capable of efficiently supporting a linked-single-source-of-text workflow than Illustrator...without any additional plugins or scripts.

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

Hello, for a multilingual catalog project I would have to know how and with what tool I can place text from Excel or a database in text frames / tables. The basic idea is to provide the text box with an ID (eg << text_eng_art_nr_987654>>) and above to make the connection. Does anyone have a tip. Thanks in advance !!!

Data merge is really useful in many circumstances, but my first question would be about the size of the project. A really large catalog might be better handled by processing an IDML in some kind of translation memory tool.
If all of your multilingual content is already in Excel, then it's probably best handled with a Data Merge. Note that you can't save Unicode CSV out of Excel for the merge, so for many languages you'll need to save "Unicode Text" out of Excel and tweak your import settings when you select a Data Source for encoding (Unicode) and delimiter (tab instead of comma).

How do I highlight text in Pages?

How do I highlight text in Pages - none of the menus, nor the 'Help' function seems to help...

It's tough searching for something when you can't guess the terms to use. It's called a "background color." You can choose a color from the format bar.

How do I copy text from an epub book?

how do I copy text from an epub book?

Just some observations.
PDF page content that is an image (and music notes may very well be that in a given PDF) then all that can be exported is the image.
Only an image editor can "edit" such eh.
As to textual content - once in TXT, RTF, DOC or DOCX yes, expect to have to do "cleanup"
Of course there's the old school alternative that is always available.
Paper copy beside you as you transcribe to a fresh word processing file.
Be well...

Will Lightroom 5 flow text from page to page?

A little + sign appears at the bottom right corner of a text cell when the text overflows. I find I cannot pick up the additional text by clicking the + sign to place it on the next text cell thus linking text from page to page. Am I missing something or is such a useful facility unavailable in Lightroom? If that's the case, is there a good reason for Lightroom not offering text linking between pages?

No, it's not InDesign, though it's easy to understand why that + indicator may make you hope that kind of flow may work.

How do I copy text from one layer to another?

I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
OK, so I have a layer that has some text in it. I would like to be able to simply copy that text from one layer to another, but this seems to be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard. I can paste it into the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
This is how I am trying to do this.
In the layer with the text, click on the "T" icon to the left.
Click on the text, in the layer that I want to copy.
I select the text (either by clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
Next I press Command-C.
Then I click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to paste the text.
Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
WHY??????
Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text from one layer to another?

First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer. But that will create a new Text Lay
er identical to the one you have.
To answer your question in your case.... Create the Text Layer. Make a New Layer. Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
Edit>Copy.
Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

how to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

Hi,
Did you or can you set up the new iPhone from a Backup of the Old one ?
They would have to be at the same Level of OS
iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.

Double spacing issue when pasting text from Pages

I have a Pages document with text that frequently paste into a message that is generated by the Dropbox iOS app when I choose the e-mail option within Dropbox iOS app.
I'm trying to figure out why when I paste the Pages text above the defaut Dropbox message the spacing between paragraphs is fine, but when I paste it below the default text generated by the Dropbox iOS app when e-mailing a link to a file, the spaces between paragraphs is doubled.
It seem to be some phantom formatting in my Page document beause I tested by pasting a long e-mail below the Dropbox text and it's still single spaced. For some reason my Pages text goes from single spaced to double spaced when I paste it below that default message that Dropbox iOS generates when you attempt to e-mail a file link.

Thanks, but this feature doesn't seem to work in iOS.
The Pages document was created in Pages for OSX, but stored in iCloud. I usually e-mail links using the Dropbox iOS app and copy text from Pages iOS and want to paste into the e-mail created by Dropbox iOS. When I paste the text below the Dropbox link, the paragraphs are double spaced.
