It will show up fine. In version 1.2 of Numbers (the most current), there is an arrow pointing down into a box |_| that looks like that... It is at the bottom of the screen in the center. Tap that and select copy from iTunes. scroll through the list of files and select the correct file you wish to open, an presto, it will open (after converting from .xls/.xlsx of course)
If you have an older version the button will be in the top right corner (although I can't remember what the icon is)...

How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

How do you put word or excel documents onto an IPAD?

There are no Microsoft Word or Excel apps for the iPad, yet.
The Pages app, among a few others will open, write to and save Word docs. Numbers will do the same for Excel files.
First thing is to buy and download an app to work on these docs from the ap store. Then sync with your computer to have the apps on both your iPad and in your iTunes on your computer. Once this is done you can copy files to the Pages or Numbers section on your iTunes then sync with your iPad to have them copied to the iPad. Also, any Word or Excel files that you receive via email will also open in Pages and or Excel and can be saved to the list of files for those apps.

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

Import Word/Excel document option greyed out

For a class assignment I am instructed to import a Word document using Import -> Word Document. The problem is that the option to import Word & Excel documents is greyed out. Yes, I have the destination file open when I try to import the document. This does not change even if I create a new, blank HTML file and try to import the document into that file.
My system:
Dreamweaver CS5
Microsoft Office 10
Windows 7
64-bit processor
Could this be an incompatability with 64-bit system? That's the only thing that's out of the norm on my computer. Is there something that I can change to make this option work on my system?
Thanks.

Ok - I received a response from tech support (it's been a while, but I figured that this might be helpful to someone else with this issue).
Drumroll, please:
"Office 10 came out after Dreamweaver CS5 & is not supported"
Unfortunately, the free Adobe technical support is staffed by who are not technical experts. The answer that you received is complete nonsense.
Office 10 is the XP version of Microsoft Office, which was released in 2002. Office 2010 is actually Office 14.0.
Like you, I have Windows 7 64-bit. I also have Office 2010 installed.
I have just created a test document in Word 2010, and saved it on my desktop. I then opened Dreamweaver CS5, made sure the focus was in Design view, and then selected File > Import > Word Document. The file was correctly imported.
As I said before, it's important for the focus to be in Design view. The following screenshot shows an attempt to access Import > Word Document when the focus is out of Design view. The option is greyed out.
I then clicked inside Design view to ensure the focus was in the correct place. As the following screenshot shows, the options for Word and Excel are no longer greyed out.
Importing Word documents in Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7 64-bit definitely works with Word 2010. If it's not working on your system, there's a problem with your installation. It's not a bug in Dreamweaver or lack of support for Office 2010.

Excel documents on my iPad

Hello,
How can I modify excel documents on my Ipad in Numbers? And how can I change the direction of the text in the documents on my ipad 2?

I don't really understand your question about the direction of text, but for modifying excel documents, you just need to open them in Numbers and then make any modifications you wish. You can the export them back out to excel via email or dropbox or however else you choose.
One word of advice, do this on a copy of your data the first time or two, as Numbers is not the same thing as Excel. There are definite differences and your changes may not carry over correctly. There are also other apps that work with excel including the web apps in Microsoft skydrive and cloudon.

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Import an Excel document or Visio document into Captivate 4

Is it possible to import an Excel document into Captivate 4?
Is it possibe to create a flow chart in Captivate 4? A flow chart was created in Visio and I would like to import into Captivave; I prefer not to use a .PDF document.

Hello Lilybiri,
It looks like we are doing the same thing in a slightly different way but in the end we have an image.
I have also done it this way, instead of making it an image (since I needed to keep changing it), I inserted the image I from Viso into a PPT slide, then I imported this into CP, now I since it is linked I can edit the PPT when I need to make changes directly from Captivate, when th ePPT window opens i can edit the deawing like i was in Viso. now in my case I was using the full PPT page for the image so I did not have to worry about resizing and stuff.. not sure if this would work for small images since I was dealing with drawing of equipment.

How can I get a word document onto my ipad

I tried emailing myself a word document and opening it on my ipad. The tutorial says I should just be able to touch on the attachment, but I get the message saying it can't open the document.

Per the iPad tech specs:
Mail attachment support
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
What app generated the word document and what is the extension of that document?
The iPad will open an emailed word document without any additional apps.

How do I sync a Word document onto my iPad, using Adobe reader?

My laptop can't connect to the Internet, so I'm trying to upload some critical documents to my iPad, using Adobe Reader. I've tried copying them via ITunes, and while the sync is supposedly successful, they don't show up in Reader on my inPad. Any suggestions.

You might also try to convert the word document to PDF using our Create PDF service:
https://www.acrobat.com/createpdf/en/home.html
or acrobat product:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR
Further, some versions of Word support exporting PDF files directly.

Excel documents

Do I have to buy the Numbers app to work on an Excel document on my ipad? I only have 1 document that i need to keep with me and work on. I really didn't want to have to buy an app for it.

You can't edit the spreadsheet offline without an app. You can download the spreadsheet from Google Docs with many apps, such as Goodreader, but you will not be able to edit it without an app.
You can edit spreadsheets on Google docs online with no real problems, as long as they aren't too complex. You just need a wifi/3g connection, depending on which iPad you have.

Cannot close excel application on an ipad

How do I close an excel file other than restarting?

How did you get the Excel file onto the iPad and in what app are you opening it? If it was an attachment to an email message, you should be able to just tap the spreadsheet to get the header bar, then tap the Done button.

How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the reply.
You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD , pen and paper and CDs .
Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
Thanks
Amanda
