How to select text and pictures together in word processing mode?

Hello,
I have written about 20 chapters of a book in word processing mode. Each chapter has many pictures, carefully positioned within the text.
Each chapter is a separate pages file.
Now i want to put them together into one single document and have a big problem.
When i press cmd+A to select everything in one document in order to copy and paste it into another document, i can either select the text OR the pictures, not both together.
In Layout mode it is possible, but not in word processing mode.
Does anybody know how to select both in word processing mode or how to transform a word processing document into a layout mode document?
Or is there a way to put together a word processing document from a number of single documents?
Thanks in advance

I still use word processing for just about everything. The first two versions of Pages only had word processing. I think all of the complaints/requests about the "always-present" text layer led the developers to add page layout. I think they would have been better off adding another application (like AppleWorks' draw module compared to AppleWorks' word processing module.

  • Can't select text and scroll when using Word

    Recently I have been unable to select text and scroll down the page using two fingers, while in a word document.This is only happening in Word, so far no other programs. Does anyone have an idea of how to turn on or off this feature?

    I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
    Its stupid
    I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
    I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
    My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

  • Menu button linked text and pictures

    Hi,
    I am currently studying a Digital Film Making course and at this point we are being taught how to use DVD Studio Pro. We are currently creating menus that when you have a button selected (but not activated) it will display a picture and text within that menu telling you a bit about what that button will link to, obviously when you move to a different button the text and picture will change. I am trying to accomplish this in Encore does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?
    Cheers,
    Gordon

    Encore does not provide a simple version of this technique. You can fake it by having the button autoactivate and go to a duplicate menu with only the desired picture/text different.
    I suspect many users would like this as a feature in Encore. It is asked about often.

  • How to select text from a webpage

    hi. i have firefox for my n900. i would like to know how to select some text from a webpage so i can copy and paste it. thanks for the help. i couldn't it anywhere.

    First tap where you want the selection to start. (It might help to zoom in as far as possible first. You can do this using the volume buttons in the newly-released Firefox 1.1rc1.) Then hold the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys on the N900 keyboard to select text.
    Note: We are aware that this is not a very user-friendly way to select text, and we hope to include a better design in a future version of mobile Firefox.

  • IPad, Acrobat Reader, Content (text and pictures) no longer showing, just blank pages

    Hi,
    I have a user who successfully opened a .pdf attachment from outlook mail and then opened it in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and then edited it and moved it to a created folder.
    Everything was working fine and the user highlighted text in the .pdf document too.
    What then happened is when the user subsequently opened the file, the highlights were shown but not the content (text and pictures).
    I checked they had the latest version via the apps store updates and noted there had recently been an update which had been applied.
    I did check also in the diagnostics to see if there were any acrobat files, but there were none, I also turned on 'send diagnostics' in case this this will help in the future.
    I rebooted the iPad by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared.
    Checked again to see if I could view the .pdf  content (it's around 8.5 MB file with 32 pages), still nothing showing apart from the yellow highlights that the user had done.
    From within Acrobat Reader on the iPad I chose to open the file in iBooks to see if I could read it there.  I could successfully open the file in iBooks and the front page thumbnail was showing (I did note that in Acrobat reader the thumbnail was white).
    I found the email with attachment and opened it again in Acrobat Reader and it opens correctly, suggesting somehow the previous copy had become damaged?  I have now saved this good copy over the top of the existing bad copy and all is OK except that the user has lost the highlights previously made.
    Can you give me some idea of how this file has become broken in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and how I can avoid it happening again.
    Many Thanks.

    Thanks for replying.
    This is the first time it has happened, the user has several folders containing files (on their iPad), (some .pdf's with additional highlights) these files are typically company agm board packs so contain pages of text and photo's too.
    I put it down the fact that when I checked the app store for updates there had recently been an update and the user had not rebooted their iPad for some time, hence some of the underlying adobe reader files were perhaps between versions.
    I don't know how you handle files when performing an update, do you close the app, flush files from memory and do a clean update?
    I can confirm that the .pdf file had not been sent  as an email attachment after having added the highlights.
    Because the acrobat document contains so many pictures (32 pages and 8.5MB) when scrolling through it takes several seconds for some pages to appear, and others with text and pictures quite a while for the text to become sharp, I presume this is because the Acrobat Reader cannot open the 8.5MB file in one go and has to keep swapping it out of memory.  Having reached the end if I scroll back to the beginning it takes 10's of seconds before the first page re-appears, otherwise it's just a white page.  Interestingly in iBooks the pages appear almost immediately when viewing.
    The iPad in question is model MD368B/A, 64GB, Software Version 7.1.1 (11D201) and has 28GB Memory available.  Usage tells me Adobe Reader is taking 328MB and is version 11.3.1
    I have just finally browsed back to recent documents, opened 2 or 3 other documents and then this one again (from recent) and it is now broken, just shows white pages (and on the thumbnail too) with my test highlights. so I can now apparently reproduce it.
    Hope this all helps you re-produce

  • How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

    How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

    Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

  • Print text AND pictures

    Hi,
    I have a psc 1355 AIO. When I have written a document in Open Office Writer with text and pictures and want to print the document, it suddenly comes out with text and an empty space where the pictures should have been. It has never done that before (it´s an exelent printer!). I have gone through everything I can think of but can not find what is wrong!
    Can anyone give me a hint. Thanks!!

    What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages?  What program are you printing from?
    The symptom you describe could be caused by an empty (or defective) black cartridge.

  • Is there any way to display a file that contains text and pictures

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if java has any way to display a file that contains both text and pictures. I have tried using the RTFEditorKit and using an RTF file and it only diplays the text contained in the file and omits the pictures all together.
    code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
    public class Test
         JScrollPane scroll;
         JEditorPane edit=new JEditorPane();
         RTFEditorKit kit=new RTFEditorKit();
         public Test()
              final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         edit.setEditorKit(kit);
         edit.setEditable(false);
         try
              kit.read(new FileReader(new File("Installation.rtf")),edit.getDocument(),0);
              catch(Exception e)
                   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
         frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(edit));
         Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

    Please help!

    Not good as that usually means the project itself was corrupt.

  • How can i copy line with text and image to ms word

    When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
    How can i copy the image to MS Word?

    If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
    So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
    TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
    package
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
        import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
        import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;
        import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
        import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
        import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
        import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
        // Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
        // and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
        public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
            public function CustomClipboardFormat()
                var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
                TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);
            private const markup:String = '<TextFlow whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p><span color=\"0x00ff00\">Anything you paste will have all consonants removed.</span></p></TextFlow>';
            private function setup():TextFlow
                var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
                var textFlow:TextFlow = importer.importToFlow(markup);
                textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(this,500,200));

  • How to compare date and time together

    Hi,
    How to compare Date and Time together?
    For example in a database table there are two fields rundate and runtime.  I want to compare these two with perticular date and time in the program.  Like, I want to pull all the records where the records's date and time are less than a perticular date and time in the program.
    Hope the question is clear...
    Thanks.
