Import adresses to Pages from Numbers

Hi.
I have Pages 5.1 and Numbers 3.1. Can anybody tell me if it's possible to import adresses from a Numbers documet to a Pages document. I have a letter I want to send out to a lot of people. But I don't want to type the name and adress into every letter. I have all the names and adresses in an Numebers document. I don't have the name and adressen in my adressbook, and I don't want to import them to my adressbokk.

Good luck getting that to work with Pages 5!
But wasn't that the point of wonderfully diminishing the functionality of Pages 5? You are complicating it all over again by looking for more software to do the same job. How many more applications are you going to need as you hit each absent function?

Pasting chart into pages from numbers

How come I can't copy/paste charts into pages from numbers anymore? I used to be able to on the last edition now with the new update when I go to paste the chart nothing happens.

If you are using Pages v5 (any version), then you need to be using Numbers 3+ for copy/paste. If you are using Pages ’09 v4.3, you need to be using Numbers v2.3. Mixing versions breaks things.

How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
Somebody with an idea?
Thanks for your help!

To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
Any idea?

You are right with floating / inline.
But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...

Pasting Issues onto Pages from Numbers

Hello.
I created a table in Numbers that have arrows inserted from the "Shapes" menu.
When I copy and past that table into Pages, the arrows dont paste. I've tried doing normal pasting, and pasting with matched style, but the arrows dont get pasted into my Pages document.
Anyone able to help?
Tom

Unable to refresh spreadsheet pasted into pages from numbers

Hi. I'm building a business plan using pages and as we paste the financials into the pages document, I am not able to refresh the spreadsheet in pages when it is changed and saved in numbers. In the help tab and on the forums a "refresh" button is referred to but I can't find it. Some other notes. I seem to have built the plan in "word processor" in pages instead of in "page layout." Can't tell the distinction between the two. Also, I'm taking a full budget in numbers and hiding most of the cells before pasting into pages. Having this capability work as "advertised" would be a huge time saver.
Thanks.

I'll tackle one part of your questions:
*Word Processing mode:* The document has a default area of text inside the set margins. Text fills this area and flows from page to page as needed. The pages form with the text, expanding and retreating with the tide of text within. This text can be indexed in the T.O.C. and may have footnotes. WP mode also has background and master objects which appear on each page and can be deleted from those pages at one stroke.
*Layout Mode:* The document consists of nothing but individual unconnected pages. Everything on those pages is a floating individual object, with the exception of headers and footers. Text can be linked between textboxes (WP can do this too) by manually linking them, even across pages. Layout mode is much more restricted than WP but simplifies designs by removing some of the clutter.
You can not simply turn one mode into the other. But you can copy/paste text and objects between them.

How do i create a chart that will update in keynotes or pages from numbers?

I created a table in Numbers and want to export it to Pages and Keynote. I want the changes made in Numbers to Show in Pages and Keynotes.

Hi edwill,
In iWork, I don't know of a way to link between documents. If you are looking for a way to update a Pages or Keynote document automatically when you update a Numbers document, I don't think that is possible. Perhaps someone who is an AppleScript guru can call in to help you.

Export just one page from numbers as a pdf

Hi,
Just wanted to export one page of a numbers spreadsheet, no option to select one page or whole document.
Anyone have any options?
Using ipad2.
Regards
Peter

I think Poikkeus thinks you're using a Mac.
On the iPad I would duplicate the document and in the dupe delete all but the page you wants to export. Then export that one page as a PDF. Not the best solution but it will work I think.

Copy single master page from one document to another?

The answer to a previously posted question seems to involve creating a document differently (than I had). A lot of work went into the creation of the master pages in the original document which I will now need to recreate in the new document. Is there a way I can copy one master page from one document to another?
Many thanks,
Theresa

There are a number of ways to do this.
Create a copy of the document you want to copy the Master page from. Delete all pages except for the one you want (but you have to leave Right and Left alone as FM must always have these two pages available).
Open the new document and the one that you want to import the master pages from.
In the new document:
Import from Document: (select the document with the Master Page that you want)
then
File > Import > Formats
and select Page Layouts only.
Note that Right/Left always come along for the ride.
Alternative and probably best way to get a single Master Page:
In new document, add a new Master Page and select "Empty".
In the old document, on the desired Master Page, Select All on page (ctrl+A) and then copy (ctrl+v).
In the new document on the new master page, paste (ctrl+v) to add the layout. Note: you may need to rotate the page first if it isn't in the same orientation as in the old document.

Importing from pages or numbers

Is it possible to import files to keynote from pages or numbers. I am working on a safety presentation that uses spreadsheets, photos and graphics (lines, arrows, comments in text boxes etc) I would like to be able to present this as a keynote or powerpoint type presentation. I thought this was possible but nothing is working.

I have documents and spreadsheets with photos dragged from iphoto that I have been wanting to use as a keynote type demo. I was trying to drag or copy from pages and numbers as well as word and excel for mac. Saving as pdf files allows me to drag over to a keynote slide and works. It just does not allow me to alter the document during the demo (adjust numbers in the spreadsheet or move arrows on the arial photos of the pages doc etc. )
Thanks for the help, was just temorarily brain dead.

Then don't do it. Use Paste and Match style in the Edit Menu. You don't need to go by other applications which Niel suggested.
It's not always the best soluce.
Example:
copy group of 3*3 cells from a Numbers table
Paste in Pages gives a table with every style attributes.
Paste and Match Style gives nine paragraphs of raw text, one by cell, exactly what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Rtf window and converting it to Text.
Running my good old huge script :
--{code}
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text
--{code}
then Paste, gives three paragraphs with cell's contents separated by TAB characters exactly as what we get when pasting in a TextEdit Text window.

Pages (or Numbers) Template Cannot Be Opened From Outside the Application

Ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot open a Pages (or Numbers) template without being asked.....
Do you want to add this custom template to the Template Chooser? Then my only options are Cancel or Add to Template Chooser.
If I cancel, it won't open anything.
But this template is already in my Template Chooser.
So the only way to open a template in Pages (or Numbers) is to open the application first, and then click "New", and choose the template.
I can't figure out a way to open the template from outside the application, which is very very handy, rather than having to open the application every time that I want to access a template.
How can I open a template simply by clicking on it?

Yes, the problem is that opening the template from outside of the application will not open the application, showing the document. I only get this....

Put your Pages or Numbers document on your desktop and open it by double-clicking it, and you'll understand. You can't do it, even if the template is in your template chooser.
The only way to do this now is to open the application, select "New", and the select the template. So you cannot open a template from outside the application....only from within.

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). Can anyone help?

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?

I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

Is it possible to change the color of imported art in pages, say from B&W to a color? ... or even to make it a gradation of color?

Is it possible to change the color of imported art in pages, say from B&W to a color? ... or even to make it a gradation of color?

Make a Shape > Inspector > Graphic > Tinted Image Fill > Scale to fit > browse to image > click on the color patch to change the color to what you want
or
Drag in an image > overlay it with a Shape > select the color for the shape and change its Opacity
Shapes may have Gradient and Advanced Gradient (multiple colors) fills both linear and radial. Both are in the Graphic Inspector as is Opacity.
