How to copy the bullet point format/style from MS Word to Pages?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make the swap from Mac Word to Pages but the one thing that frustrates me so much to the point of not using Pages is the bullet point system.
In Word the set spacings are exactly how I want them - whereas in Pages, everything is tighter - there is less space between the margin and the point, the point and the text etc.
I've painstakingly inserted all the spacings from Word into Pages and saved it as a "style" but it just reverts back to the default positioning when I open up a new document and select my saved style.
Any ideas / a magic tool to just copy the style from Word? It's such a shame because Pages is a much slicker programme than Word and I really want to use it but as a student, bullet points are my world.
Thanks,
James

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply.
Yeah I get the font and formatting for the text copied no problem when copying but I'm talking about from scratch in a new document, I insert a bullet point and even when selecting my saved style, it just reverts back to the default.
I agree, massive pain. It is the only thing stopping me from making the full switch now iCloud Drive is getting close to Dropbox.
Am I a misguided fool for thinking there's a patch or modification of some description that can copy the default bullet spacings from Word and create a new style following them in Pages?
Thanks, James

  • How to copy and paste web design styles from the web

    I am not doing so well with the web style templates provided in the latest versions of IWeb.
    Is there a way to copy and paste the html code from some site who's design I like then paste it into my Iweb and then put in my content to the style that was up?
    I used to be able to do do this about 10 years ago with a Claris Homepage program, don't see how to do it with IWeb.
    It's like I have to do everything from scratch, draw background boxes, don't see frames.
    Thanks everyone..
    Jack E.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't copy the code form a site and use it in an iWeb page. To use frames you would use an HTML snippet and this code:
    <IFRAME SRC = "URL OF PAGE YOU WANT TO FRAME" WIDTH="XXXpx" HEIGHT="XXpx" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
    You can get more info at this site:iFrame code.
    I've creates a demo site which describes many of the features and tricks I've learned from this forum. This iWeb FAQ site is a wealth of information on using iWeb and all of it's capabilities.

  • How can I print a free format style report that is 3 pages long

    You may say this would be like a letter format (no columns), but is actually a formatted document. It is on 3 pages. I was instructed by a Oracle reports teacher to place on multiple frames with page protect to fix my problem of text for one line of text to appear on two pages. I tried this, but it did not work.
    I've had to specify 3 panels to accommodate for the 3 pages of text. I've made the frames vertically expandable for varied body of text.
    Thanks ahead of time,
    Jeannie

  • How do I link to a spreadsheet (Numbers) from a word file (Pages)?

    I'm doing an assignment for a computers class that is based more around Windows applications than Mac applications. The assignment itself is quite easy, except that I need to link to a spreadsheet that I completed previously. However, whenever I attempt to insert a hyperlink, it only allows me to link to anothre Pages document, not any other type of file. How can I make it link to a Numbers file?

    The answer is: You don't! If you need the Numbers document why not do all of it there. It works like a Page Layout document. Take a look at the supplied templates to see how it works.

  • How to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface

    Hi All,
    how to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface when it is there at the starting of the process and when clicking on the OnMessage Activity
    i'm able to see the View XML Document link. By Clicking on View XML Document Payload is getting opened for me but at this point i'm not able to copy the payload and more over the scroll bar is also not there.
    When i'm saving it as .xml i'm able to see the payload but not in an xml format.
    When trying the payload in SOAPUI it's not getting reformatted.
    How can we solve the issue.
    Regards,
    CH

    The input payload can be seen from "Audit Trail" tab and "Flow" tab of any BPEL instance. The XML shown in "Flow" tab are not rightly formatted XMLs and you may not able to copy them "as is" to a text editor. But, the XML shown in "Audit Trail" should be in the right XML format and you should be able to click on any audit trail entry and copy the XML payload to a text editor. soapUI should also be able to format such XMLs without any issue. Just make sure that you don't overwrite soap header/body section when pasting to soapUI request.

  • How to delete the Data Points label with a crosstab layout

    Hi, just a question.
    I created a report which uses a crosstab layout; so...I have the Company Name on the left, Status Code above and the Count(tickets) as Data Points.
    As soon as I put the Count(tickets) inside the report, the label "Data Points: Incident Id Count appears above just at the bottom of the Status Code
    Is there a way to avoid this tedious label ?
    As workaround, I changed the Data Points' format heading (text and background) in such a way to see only a Grey space...but this is not so useful (from the customer side...)
    I also looked for inside the crosstab layout properties...but I didn't found nothing.....
    Any help will be appreciate
    Alex

    Well, I think you are out of luck. You are basically saying you want to control when you have a column heading and when you don't want to have a column heading. Most of us users do want column headings in our reports. In fact I have a hard time trying to figure out why you don't want a column heading. How are the report users going to know what the numbers in the column mean if you don't have a heading on the column? Maybe the initial users of the report know, but what happens when they leave and someone else takes over their duties? I would suggest putting in an enhancement request for Discoverer to give you the option to not display a column heading, if you really want something like this. This needs to be at the workbook level, I am thinking.

    Hi.
    This may sound like a bit of a pain in the *** but why not save the channel strip settings into your own folder then that way you can open them up in other songs and you have some channel strips to try out when you cant find anything else to fit. Plus its fun to open up lots of different audio onto the tracks and see what the effects sound like, Brian Eno style.....
    Hope this helps

    I found that only dimension mapping can be imported. Is there any way to copy FDM application quickly?

    If you get a chance try the following script, it's so simple and easy to extract all the map data to XML and will help in to import back through Import script.

  • I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

    I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
    Thanks

    I tried Notpod but can't get it to work.  Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+).  I also can't do this in Windows Explorer.  Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
    The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
    InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
    Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
    I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
    Thanks anyone who can help

  • How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

    how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
    It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
    I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
    What's the work around?
    Thank you

    I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

  • How to set the out point beyond 9.95 seconds???

    how to set the out point  in Motion 5 beyond 9.95 seconds???

    First you need to make sure your project is long enough then you can adjust the play range (in/out). To make sure the project is long enough:
    1. From the project properties (command-J) go to the Duration field and enter a new duration.
    2. Click on the down arrow icon to the right of the current time, there is an option to show the project duration. Once set to this you can double click the number and type in a new project duration. I'd recommend setting it back to show current time when done.
    3. Of course you can also change the duration of a project when it is first created, in the project browser.
    Once you're sure you have a long enough project you can adjust the in and out range.  You then use the zoom controls in the bottom of the timeline to show more of the timeline and adjust the play range as needed. There's lots more about project and play range duration adjustments in the documentation: http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.1/
