How to copy textbox between pages docs?

when I copy and paste, the result is no where to be found. Option drag wont move the textbox to the other document. how is this done?

What I you hoping ?
When we copy paste a text block, we get a text block in the target document but its location is not guaranteed.
Sure, it would be fine if the block was pasted where we put the cursor.
I really don't know which is the rule used by the program to define the destination point.
If like me you wish that the object is inserted where we put the cursor,
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10
As far as I know, the drag and drop feature doesn't apply to transfer the text blocks from a document to an other one.
For this feature too a feedback to Apple would be interesting.

    (1) The OP is technically correct - there is no direct equivalent of  "save as".   There is "save a version" and there is "duplicate".
    (2) So far it seems that to get the same effect as "save as" you need to create a "duplicate", then save the duplicate.  The duplicate will automatically be given a name like "docname.copy.pages", which can be changed to that desired.
    (1) nobody wrote about the technical aspect of the OP's question !
    But, you wrote something wrong.
    There is a "Duplicate" item, a "Save a Version" item and there is a "Save…" item.
    (2)  The reproduced help page clearly state that the first step is to trigger 'Duplicate' For the second step, it's not clear. It seems that the ones writing the Help were not informed of the definite choices made by the developers. They wrote "Save As" but never was such an item. It was "Save As…" in which the ellipsis is an important component. At last, the developers defined two items : "Save…" and "Save a Version" ( at this time I'm running 10.6.8 so I can't check if this item has or hasn't an ellipsis).

  • How do I save a page doc in word (so I can attach it to an email and send it)

    I'm a poet who has to submit my poems via submission managers at literary journals.  Most journals need these attached in a Word doc or Rtf file...but I can't figure out how to covert an existing page doc poem to a word doc so I can do this.
    Also, is it possible in pages to "save" a pages file as rtf? how? 
    Pat

    thank you Tom...
    I did try this...  am still a little confused.   "share" doesn't work ...I get a message that IWORK is discontinued.
    Also, after I go to export and click on "Word"  and click on export again....where does the resulting file go to get stored?  Is it on my computer then (on the desktop if I say that's where it goes?)...so that when attaching it to the submissions manager I would hit "browse" and find it on the computer/desktop and then hit attach?   I'm not even sure I'm explaining this right.

  • How do I save a pages doc to mobile me cloud

    It seems this would be simple. But I can't figure out how to do it. I save everything to it when using my laptop and it has saved me from losing important documents when my laptop crashed. Any help is appreciated.

    When you are ready to save your Pages doc, hold down the option key while selecting the File menu. Now, Save As ... appears. Select it.
    Initially, you will see iCloud on the selector. Click and hold, then choose Desktop from the drop down menu.
    Now, click on the little down-arrow. This opens a file selection window on the Desktop, where you can scroll to the existing Folder, create a new one, and then save your file.

  • How can I insert a Pages, Doc, or PDF file into a Keynote presentation?

    I need to insert a document (.pages, .doc, or .pdf anyone) into a Keynote for a portfolio that I must present.  How can I do this?  It doesn't give me that option under hyperlink in inspector. 

    the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".

  • Pages doesn't offer HTML, how can I get a Pages doc to be embedded?

    How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? I do not want to turn it into a pdf... what are my options. I have Freeway 5 Express if this helps.
    How-to's and suggestions welcome.

    What exactly do you mean? Do you just mean you want to be sure it shows as an inline attachment? You can't really control that, if so, since it depends on the recipient's mail program/server/personal settings. This is true for real HTML mail, too.
    There is nothing to guarantee that if you could easily convert a pages document to HTML, the recipient would not receive it as just an attachment. In any case, I suppose you could copy/paste into a freeway file, publish that to the desktop and attach it, but really, PDF is a much, much better choice.

  • How/where do icloud synced Pages docs get filed in other devices?

    I guess that's my question in a nutshell..
    I have several devices with all sorts of different files and filing systems... If I want to sync a modified Pages doc that, for instance, is duplicated across several files on my mac, would they ALL be modified when it syncs with iCloud?
    Also, my other question is... Where in devices with different filing systems do synced docs land?
    Hope that makes sense,...

    iCloud doesn't sync any documents on your mac, it syncs documents between iOS devices and iCloud.com, you can upload and download documents to and from iCloud.com to and from your mac so they can be used with iOS devices or used from iOS devices.
    You don't see any filing structure on the iOS devices, each document is listed within the app itself when you go to 'Documents' from the app interface

  • How to pass values between pages?

    Hi
    Anybody know how you pass values like ids between pages using buttons?
    Cheers

    user551484

    Hi
    Why do you want to do this? You can access values from other pages so if you are on page 2 and there is an item on page 1 called P1_ID you can simply assign it to an item on page 2 by typing in P1_ID in the source value for your page 2 item.
    Or you could reference it direct in your pl/sql process by typing &P1_ID. (note the fullstop)
    If you did want to pass a value using a button you can do so by clicking on the button name in then scroll down to the section called optional URL redirect.
    set target is a - to page in this application
    then select the page you want the button to send you to
    then click the flashlight icon next to set these items
    you can then select the page item you want to send the value to and the page item you are getting the value from.

  • How do I transition between pages using something other than a white screen

    When the site first pulls up (I see this in Safari intermittently but not Firefox) the background is white (outside the page). After switching between pages it goes back to black. Can I have it use any other color besides white? How do I do this?
    Also, when trying to pull up in Internet Explorer, there are numerous problems loading. How do I optimize for this browser?
    dancingdogtreasures.com

    Roddy has some tips at his iWeb for Musicians site: How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer.
    Using an optimizing application like Web Site Maestro can greatly reduce the "weight" of a site's pages to facilitate faster loading. I use it event thought my sites are geared for Mac users and it greatly reduces the size of the files in the site.

  • How do I save a Pages doc to my desktop folders?

    Hi, I'm new to Mac and Pages and want to save a document to a folder on my desktop.  But I don't have Save As as an option in File.  I appear to be able to save only to iCloud or Documents essentially.  Any suggestions?

    When you are ready to save your Pages doc, hold down the option key while selecting the File menu. Now, Save As ... appears. Select it.
    Initially, you will see iCloud on the selector. Click and hold, then choose Desktop from the drop down menu.

  • How do I make a Pages Doc a jpg?

    I used to be able to press "Save As" but all of a sudden I noticed that option is gone. I could Print and "Save as" a jpg, and that option is gone also. I am not sure if a new softward update took that option away, but I can no longer convert Pages Docs into jpg. Please help. Thank you!

    Technically, you are correct, and the PDF export provides the best choice of image type and resolution control. Here is an approach for a 72 dpi image of a document page. Less practical than the PDF export solution.
    Open the document in Preview
    Turn on View Thumbnails
    Select the page to image
    File > Take Screen Shot > From Selection...
    Place the selection cross-hairs in upper left, and drag over page, then release.
    An untitled image appears in thumbnail view. Select it.
    File Export...Default is 72 dpi PNG.
