Import/convert xls document

I was emailed two xls spreadsheets. One was small and I had no difficulty converting it into a spreadsheet in AppleWorks 6. The large kept crashing AppleWorks. I downloaded the trial version of iWork 09 but kept getting error messages.
iWork numbers said "file format invalid."
iWork Keyote & Pages didn't acknowledge it at all.
What should I have done to make it work?
Meanwhile, I finally downloaded NeoOffice and was successful - and so I gladly paid their suggested $10 contribution.

It's quite possible the Excel files were password-protected. Numbers can't open a password-protected Excel file. Even knowing the password won't help, you're not given the option to enter it. Nor can Pages open a protected Word file nor Keynote a protected PowerPoint file. You best option is NeoOffice as you discovered.

Numbers error on import Excel (.xls) document

Simple formulas appear to fail on import from Excel simply because the number of rows in the spreadsheet is truncated by content.
For example: =SUM(E7:E65536) will fail in many cases because there aren't 65536 rows in the table. Shortening this maxiumum fixes the error, but is time consuming because the formulas are only visible by temporary warning notices and must be retyped. I wish these formulas could be kept as errors rather than being moved into warnings.
I've read the documentation but can't see how to bundle the built-in functions to look for all the rows without specifying a specific range. Does anyone know how to set a wildcard maximum to table rows or columns instead of a number like 65536?

Numbers isn't designed with the 16th century, monolithic ledger (or infinite grid of cells) in mind. Related sets of data are meant to be grouped in individual tables, with only the number of rows necessary to contain your data (blank cells can work, but should be accounted for in more complicated formulas using the "if" suffixed functions). With formulas acting on that data (with the exception of simple summary functions like you describe) contained in separate tables.
In this case, your formula would be:
=SUM(Table 1::E), if the summation formula is in a different table
or
=SUM(E), if it is in the same table - like in a footer row. No accounting for row count necessary.
Where "Table 1" is the name of the table that contains the data ("Table #" being the default) and "E" the name of the column (unless you add a header row then it is the name of the column). This way rows can be added or deleted at will without disrupting any of your formulas and will always include all of the cells in any number of rows in that column. Any numbers in the header and footer rows won't be included in the summation.
Because Numbers and Excel have fundamentally different views of how the data in spreadsheets should be arranged, straight imports from Excel or attempting to force Numbers to work exactly like Excel won't always make sense.
Ends up sounding more complicated than it is.

Importing a .xls tab delimited file into number

Hi there... I downloaded a .xls document from the internet and attempted to open it in Numbers. The following import problem presented itself:
Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
Indeed the data does look different- all of the formatting is visible, and the document is essentially unusable. Is there a way to convert this sort of document into something that can be used in Numbers?
Thanks

I opened the document in Text Edit, but was unable to convert tab to commas... here is a clip from the original document when it is opened in both TextEdit and Numbers

Even if you want to programtically then get the data from xls file to Internal table,now use concatenate with comma ,now download it.
Check the below program :
Upload xls file and you can see .txt file ( with comma delimted)
Input ( XLS file )
aaa 1245 2344 233 qwww
233 2222 qwww www www

Any ideas on how to do that?

Importing the word document in RoboHelp

Hi,
I am importing a word document into Robohelp 7 HTML. But after the import is completed, the entire word document is converted into a single HTML page. My requirement is that each chapter should be created into seperate HTML file based on the heading level. This will help in creating the book based on the heading level. I was able to do this task successfully with RoboHelp X5 but not with any other higher versions!!!!!

Hi there
The key to this is to ensure the Word document has been styled consistently with headings and other formatting. If it's one of the garden variety where folks just painted across text all willy nilly you will indeed see mixed results.
Pay careful attention to the intermediate dialogs you see when importing the document. The second one should offer a way to split on style.
Cheers... Rick

Importing Microsoft word documents that already have paragraph styles

Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months, this was taught to me many months ago but for some odd reason when I tried it myself it didn't work . I have my paragraph styles all set up in my indesign document. I have to import text that another person is giving me. The document that this person is giving me is a Microsoft word document. Someone showed me that you can customize the document in microsoft word, with styles for example: Selecting a part of text and customizing it (making it big and bold for example), then naming that style Heading, and then doing the same for lets say...a subheading. Well after you save the document (the microsoft word document), you are able to import the word document into your indesign file and it's supposed to override the styles from Microsoft Word and customize itself with your own paragraph or character styles that you already have in your indesign document, as long as the name of the styles are the same as the ones you had in microsoft word(which in this case would be heading and subheading). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Convert Word styles to InDesign styles
Here's the info you need. I found it in the InDesign Help section. I needed it, too. The "Show Import Options" is a little box in the lower left hand corner of the screen that comes up when you choose the file you want to place in InDesign. It's easy to miss.
While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.
Do one of the following:
To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-click the Word document.
To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.
Select Preserve Styles and Formatting From Text and Tables.
Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the following options:
If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.
If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.
Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

Importing a ,docx document (book)

Hello
I need to use the demo of Indesign4 to import an 80 page book of poetry created in Word 2003. I need to create a PDF with bleed for a 6in x 9in book.
I have converted the document to Word 2007 docx, but when I try to place this into Indesign I can paste in the document, but only the first page appears, even if the Indesign document has 80 pages at 6in x 9in.
Has anyone any idea of what is happening?
Mike Engles

Are you pasting or placing (the latter is the correct method)?
Are you familiar at all with InDesign? When you have more text than will fit into a frame, the remainder becomes "overset" and is inthe document, but not yet on a page. You'll see a red Plus sign in the text frame outport to indicate the overset.
You can click the overset indicator with the selection tool to load the remaining text into a cursor for threading into a new frame or frames. By holding down the shift key when you click this loaded cursor you will auto-flow all of the remaining text into the document, adding frames or pages as necessary to hold it all. You can also use autoflow when you place the text in the beginning.
Clicking a loaded text cursor behaves differently depending on what's under it when you click. If there is an empty frame (you'll see the cursor change to have included parentheses, indicating that you will flow into a frame) the text will fill flow into the frame, or if the frame is threaded with others and is not the first frame in the thread, into the first frame.
If there is no frame, a new frame will be created on the fly, with the top edge at the y-coordinate where you clicked, and the width will fill the column guides surrounding that point and the frame will extend to the bottom margin. If auto-flowing, subsequent frames will start at the top margin and extend to the bottom. If new pages are required, they will be based on master of the last page the text flowed into, which can cause some unexpected results if the master has a frame not threaded to another on the opposite side of a two-page spread.

Can Fireworks CS5 import a Word document?

I just watched a Fireworks CS5 tutorial where the author imported a Word document into Fireworks. The import dialog showed "All readable files" and Word documents just showed up in the list view. When he chose a Word document, he got the "place" cursor and when placed, a new text object was created with text from the imported doc.
I thought that was cool so I wanted to try it myself. When I opened the Import dialog, Word documents don't display in my listview, and the "Files of type" menu doesn't contain "Word" as any of the options. If I choose to show "All files", then choose a Word doc, I get "Could not import the file. Unknown file type."
I'm wondering if I'm missing a converter? Or maybe the tutorial author was using a third-party extension?
FWIW, I'm using Fireworks CS5 and Office 2010 32-bit (although I tried some older docs authored in Word 2003 and 2007 and they don't work either).

Oh, Hi Jim.
First of all, you are one of my favorite Lynda.com teachers. Thanks for working so hard to share this knowledge with us in such a carefully thought out way.
Secondly, the file is "Tour Spotlight.rtf" from Chapter 03 of Fireworks CS5 Rapid Prototyping Exercise Files. Or I should say 'was'.. I've just tried it again on my CS5 install on my other laptop and it imported just fine. I'm not sure why I had an error on the other one...
So, no worries, thanks for your timely response, that is very appreciated, but the problem was on my end.

Import a word document composed in Arabic font (.ttf) into a .fla

Hello Everyone;
I am developing an advance e-book in Flash. My client has composed about 500 books in arabic using Microsoft Word. My client wants search features in this book in which the user will type something in arabic & it will search the ebook text and give him results, so I cannot convert the text into vector or image I have to keep it as text. I want Import a word document composed in Arabic font (.ttf) into a .fla file without losing its formatting. Rightnow I am able to import the font using copy/paste from the word document into Flash, but it changes the font, but I fixed it by changing the text property from "classic text" to "TLF text" which fixed the font. Even though the copy/paste method works without formatting its not practical for my project because there are thousands of pages and copy/pasting them one by one frame by frame is time consuming & not practical.
I need a method or a third party software through which I can convert the word documents into fla or swf keep the font as text & very important without messing up the font and formatting.

3rd Party software that can be tested for free:

Importing a PSD document into flash?? Help

Hello,
I am trying to import my PSD document into flash, I designed my website in photosphop but for some reason flash
seems to handle everything a little weird. Can Flash handle the different you place on things from photoshop?
t=Thanks
B

Usually it is easier to separate your psd and save each element for web then import to those to Flash and rebuild.
But it is indeed handy to import your psd directly. If you do so:
Play with your import settings when importing your psd to Flash. You may want some items to remain vector shapes, you may or may not want to keep text editable, some you may want to import as bitmaps, most you will probably want to convert to movie clips, etc.
A few bullet points:
• Flash will turn your layer styles to separate bitmaps and will usually distort them funny.
• Make sure your psd color profile is sRGB before importing to Flash.
• Some fonts will not import to Flash from a psd nicely, if you dont need to edit the text you should convert the type to shape (make a copy of the layer first, though, you may have to go back and edit - typos happen)
• Flash will turn bitmaps as pngs. These may increase file size, so you may still have to go back to PS and export some as jpg (if you do though, once you import those to flash, right click in your library and click Properties and uncheck "Use Imported JPG Quality" and set the percentage yourself).
The list can go on, but I'm tired and can't think of all the tips and tricks.
One thing is for sure: Be sure to go over all the importing options in Flash and all the layers carefully before hitting OK.
