Importing AppleWorks in Pages 2

Importing from AW 6.2.9 to Pages 2.0.1 working VERY POORLY for me. (Was working poorly in first version of Pages, too. I had hoped Pages 2 would fix it. No sir!) I'm complaining about importing AW 6 Word Processing documents only- NO spreadsheet, no drawings, etc. Yes, the 'words' in the imported document seem to all be there, but regularly, seemingly randomly, the font itself will be changed to a different font (Chicago 10 point becomes Times New Roman 12 point), and then back!; the font points themselves will change, from 7 to 10, and 12 to 10; paragraphs of text that were bold become unbold- except for the first line- which is still bold- but the font itself has changed!. Good-looking pages (in AW 6) become a mess in Pages 2! I need help! Help! Help!
iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Hi Cliff
I just opened a few reasonably complex AW documents by dragging and dropping. What I did notice is that Pages doesn't recognise the Times font in the Applework and maps it too Time New Roman. This may be entirely a coincidence since that was the last font I used in Pages.
A couple of thoughts might be to look at what defaults might be in Pages for new documents/templates and align themto what's coming in.
The other is True Type Postscript issues, old classic fonts and newer OS X ones.
Third thought is doocument size. I was working only to 40 or so pages. Have you tried splitting the document and bringing in smaller peices at a time.
Last but ugle way would be totry exporting form AWs to rtf or Word format then bringing it in.

  • IMPORT APPLEWORKS DOCUMENTS INTO PAGES

    With appleworks totally dead (just found out with my lion update), I'm a teacher with 1000's of old AW files I might want to access, update or import into pages....  Is there a way?
    I've got a 2009 iMac running lion, iworks 08 (rarely use), ipad 2.
    Thanks

    You won't need to run AppleWorks in an earlier OS IF, big IF, your AppleWorks files are AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheet or presentation. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
    The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
    There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.

  • Export Appleworks to Pages

    I thought I could export a mailing list set up for labels in AppleWorks to Pages but everytime I try to import the AppleWorks file I get the message that it's "not a word processing document". Thanks for any help.

    Willy,
    Pages will open most AppleWorks word processing documents, and Numbers will open spreadsheet files. But if your mailing list was built with the database module in AppleWorks, I'm afraid you're out of luck in terms of bringing it into Pages. I keep AW on my computer solely for the purpose of using the DB module.

  • Can't import Appleworks files into iWork

    I recently purchased iWork 05 (and am stuck with it, since I cannot upgrade to 06) and cannot import Appleworks 6 drawing documents into either Pages or Keynote. Are the Appleworks drawing and paint functions now orphaned?

    Only AppleWorks 6 word processing documents can be opened by Pages (& I assume, by Keynote). You can do one of two things to get the content of your AppleWorks draw documents into Pages.
    1. Open the draw document in AppleWorks & copy & paste into Pages.
    2 Copy the draw elements & paste them as floating objects in an AppleWorks 6 word processing document. Inline object don't translate in my experience. And, text boxes will become uneditable objects.

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

  • How can I import multiple PDF pages into ID?

    I am putting together a catalog which consists of over 400 pages. We had the products on our website exported into a PDF format and I need to add a header and footer to each page via a master page in ID. I don't need to edit the actual PDF but I need to create a layer on top of what was exported. How can I import the 400 pages to be independent of each other without manually placing them?

    Depending upon what you want in the header or footer, you do it in
    Acrobat...Document>Header and Footer>Add.
    There's a multipage PDF place script that ships with ID...open the
    scripts panel and it should be there.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to export/import only a page of an application?

    Hi,
    I tried to export one page of an application and this works correctly;
    then I import the same page in another application without problem, but when I try to install the page I obtain an error.
    Is this a bug?
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    After doing the import of the page (page2) successfully in a new application (application2), when I click on the button Install page, I have this error:
    File is not a valid HTML DB export file
    In effect, if I check the pages within the application2, there is not page2.
    I hope I have been clear enough

  • Using the import on a page with an applet.

    Left clicked on my project name
    Right clicked to selectfile view
    Expanded src, then src again
    Right clicked on myapp and added a Java file named DisplayMonoApplet
    When I build this in JSC, the DisplayMonoApplet can be found in the WAR file in the following location:
    WEB-INF\classes\myapp\DisplayMonoApplet.class
    I have tried every configuration I can think of (myapp/DisplayMonoApplet, http://myserver:18080/myapp/.....etc.) but no luck.
    Do I need to add something to my web.xml file like you do for servlets (I can call servlets in this app just fine)?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Wait a second...there is more to that error message that I overlooked before.

  • How do I import a web page as PDF? The import feature in my file dropdown menu doesn't seem to be working.

    If I remember correctly, firefox for linux previously had an option to import a web page as PDF. Now it doesn't seem to be working that way anymore. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx with the most recent Firefox program.

    That's just the standard notice when you install an addon from the AMO web site.
    Wasn't the '''Install Now''' button active?
    Sometimes you have to wait for up to 4 seconds for that button to be active - IOW, not greyed-out.

  • Import and merge page

    Hi!
    Im using release1 of portal (yes im not happy with it either).
    I have the next situatie and problem with an import of portal pages.
    Because of the use of 1 production-portal for every customer, i need to import portal pages from development to all the production-portals with the use of dumpfiles. For new pages this works great, but sometimes we just add new portlets to existing pages, and this is where i get stuck.
    Importing these pages again, doesnt give me a option to merge with the existing pages on the production-portal. Only options for modes are check and new. But both wont help me.
    So..is there a solution to like merge existing pages or if not...is it possible to add portlets to pages with an existing API.
    With kind regards,
    Eric

    I have a very similar project in mind for a client and am trying to figure out how to best research this. I'm struggling to even use the right terms to find discussion threads. This is the first one I have come across that comes very close. My client wants to have a bunch of documents available for a proposal, then have a window where he checks the documents he wants to use and the order they should appear. I imagine some of those documents will need to be created prior to this process or a window would allow them to fill in the variable data...client info, etc. I was thinking a more rudimentary way would be to build all the chapters and optional files out organizing them well in folders, then just using Acrobat to choose and combine the files, ordering them as needed. I guess that's my back-up plan, but would love more input/suggestions on how to be more dynamic within InDesign itself.

  • Import Problem - duplicate page, duplicate app, different result

    I exported/imported this application earlier today. Then I added some components to it and repeated the export/import and got the error below.
    Alright, so it turns out I needed to delete the application in the destination database before re-importing it. Then it works ok.
    But I've imported a single page several times and it handles duplication completely differently. So I wasn't expecting this type of error.
    Ugly error message.

    Actually Import/Export of application is different from that of pages. In case of page you have dmp file but for application there are SQL scripts being generated.

  • Importing AppleWorks Documents from 9.2.2?

    Hello,
    I hope I'm not missing something simple, but I upgraded from 9.2.2 to 10.4.11, and am trying to import AppleWorks documents over to Tiger. How does one do that?
    Also, are there any bugs or compatibility quirks I should look out for?
    Thanks for your time.
    Sincerely,
    J.C.

    The version of the Mac OS doesn't affect your AppleWorks documents. It does affect which version of AppleWorks 6 you use. If your version of AppleWorks is less than 6.2.3/6.2.4, you'll want to update it as the earliest version stable in OS X is 6.2.4. (6.2.3 is the Classic/OS 9 version of the OS X version.) If you are going to be installing AppleWorks from a CD, OS X requires a version of the installer that can run in OS X. If you are not using an Intel Mac, you can use Classic in Tiger to install AppleWorks 6 if necessary.
    There is no "importing" needed, but in transferring the documents from one Mac to another you do want to use a Mac-formatted disk. This can be a CD, USB flash drive or a FireWire drive. Using a PC-formatted disk can cause the files to lose their resource fork.
    After installing AppleWorks 6 you need to repair permissions. Launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.

  • Is there a way to import existing front page website to expression web?

    My Husband can't do any programming. He can do his website with his old FrontPage only.
    However we now have Windows 7 on a new 64 bit system and front page 2000 isn't working properly.
    Is there any way to import his Front Page web into Expression Web easily? Or is there a later version of Front Page that would work on Windows 7 64 bit?

    What you do is make a copy of your current website. Then make sure that you are not using any shared borders. Be aware that the only webbot still supported in "include files" because EW will handle that in the local copy and update the contents
    when you save then publish pages. If you are using FPSE to publish you may want to find out how to use FTP because if your host hasn't already discontinued them they will be doing so since they were discontinued in 2005.
    Once you have made sure that you aren't using shared borders make another copy on flash drive, usb, dvd or home network to your new computer. Then simply open the folder you have copied using Site > Open Site and navigating to the location of the website
    folder. You can then enable meta data to keep track of changes. If you husband is used to FrontPage 2000 there will be a learning curve. Had he been using FP 2003 it wouldn't be as great since it supported DWTs. If you go to
    http://by-expression.com/page/EW-Video-Basic-Website-tutorial and download the asset file then work along with the tutorial to learn how to use Expression Web. The tutorial was created
    with people migrating from FrontPage in mind. It does use version 2 instead of the current v4 but at the basic level the only real difference between the two is in the interface where all site functions have been moved to the Site from the File menu so you
    don't do File > New > Website but Site > New Site. There are other tutorials on the site and in the resources sticky at the top of this forum to help in the transition. Frankly, I think EW is easier to use properly than FP was.
