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.

Passwords removed from Pages and Numbers when opened in iOS

I'm I missing something or is it expected that passwords will be removed from Pages and Numbers files once they are opened in iOS?
gbs

Or at least not perserved.
Do we know if iOS 6 will perserve the passwords from a desktop doc?

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Pages Importing from pages file to another pages file

Is it possible to Import from a separate pages file to another pages file
IF so HOW?????

Tulse, I'm using Pages 2 too. The first thing I'd tried this on had only a simple drop cap in a text box, fixed on page. That didn't copy - or at any rate didn't paste. The text box had been sent back to overlay it with inline spaces to clear the capital. These reproduced, but the capital didn't. Neither did kerning or baseline adjustments, nor my inserted guides for "leading" the text to the same depth on every page
Also page set-up details were not transferred in this way: i.e., if you change the margins in a template (even the blank one) the margins don't transfer. Logical enough, page set-up belongs to the document, not the section.
Looking at this again, in the Extreme Newsletter template, imported graphics transferred, and inserted text transferred, but layering and placement information did not. I'd made my own pages by altering this, generally using text boxes or shapes to compose picture pages rather than using those in the template. But the copied and pasted sections were all over the place.
So it may be the case that if you're copying from a section to a document with identical layout, page set-up & etc. to the one you're copying from, the result will contain most of the content. But the layering, placement on page of fixed objects, etc., would seem to be decidedly iffy.
I've tried it on title page sections, where the info in fixed text boxes copied, but neither their placement nor relative placement, and (in the newsletter template) with both my own and the provided sections, with no consistent results. If it works in some cases, then that would be handy.
It's easy enough to try, and undo if it doesn't work.
But it's certainly no subsitute for being able to insert one Pages document into another; nor even always bits of it. I'd be inclined to conclude that copying and pasting in this way uses something less than the full Pages file format.
Cheers.

I would like to move text from Pages to Numbers

Hi Derfyef,
Paragraph marks (returns) in Pages will create a new row in a Numbers table.
Tabs (but not commas) in Pages will create a new column in a Numbers table.
Pages:

Copy, then click in a table in Numbers, Paste
A
B

Export Tables from Pages to Numbers with AppleScript?

I've hit a stumbling block while trying to use AppleScript to remove a table from pages and paste it into Numbers.
I've found no way to directly identify the table in the document to copy for pasting into Numbers and I've been unable to remove the other information from the document to isolate the table for a select all command.
The easiest thing I can think of is a AppleScript to remove the first set of characters before the table or to explicitly extract tables only from the document.
I've tried all manners of AppleScripts and I can't seem to get it to work. None of the AppleScript text selection commands work to remove the information other than the table.

Try selecting the whole of the contents of the document and then running:
tell app "Pages"
selection
end tell
This will return a list of the selected objects, amongst which you should see something like: table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
With that data you should be able to select just that item:
select table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
Obviously that's just an example. If you were scripting this, you would most likely work through the list filtering only those objects you want to work with - the tables in this case.

Why can't I send a pdfs from Pages or Numbers anymore?

I Have an iPad air and at one time everything worked fine. Now, when I make up a document in either Pages or Numbers and try to send it in a pdf format the email come with a unopenable attachment.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Merging "pages" and "numbers" to make a presentation in PDF "Preview"

I am trying to put together a presentation in PDF form, that I can email out
In numbers and pages , I can print them to PDF, and it looks great, but how do you merge the two into one PDF ??

One may drag and drop a table from Pages to Numbers but, as far as I know we can't drag a table from Numbers to Pages.
I'm I wrong ?
I think you are right. However, you cannot drag floating tables from Pages either - only the ones that are embedded in the text.

Printing from Pages 3.0.1

Anybody know why I get a a 'paper too small' error when printing in A4 landscape to a HP B9180 using Pages 3.0.1? I have had to revert to Pages 3.0, which fixed the problem. Has anybody come across this with other printers, please?

I have the same problem. It doesn't show dots on screen or when I choose "Open PDF in Preview" from the Print dialog box, but when I print they still appear.
It also happens with Mail, Numbers and Keynote but not with TextEdit or Preview (unless I exported the document as a PDF from Pages or Numbers).
It is infuriating.

Import photos from iphoto to Numbers spreadsheet or Pages

Hello All,
And to start with: Happy New Year, and thanks to all people here making easier to work with Apple Softwares.
I have many questions about Numbers since some features are really missing from Excell to Numbers, and also since change from Numbers'09 to actual Numbers.
My question today:
I want to create an inventory with my products.
They are all on pictures included in iPhoto or as pdf.
If I import directly from the destination cell via Media button, I find out that the total weight of the picture is dragged.
As a consequence I came out with Numbers files of more than 100 Mo !! And of course computer slowing down.
My solution was to drag pictures from iPhoto to desk and open it with Aperçu.
Then I reduce the size of all pictures, save it.
Then I can import from the desk and have a more manageable file size by my computer.
It makes the Media button quite useless in that case.
Did i miss something ?.

Lionnel,
I don't believe that you are missing anything. It is important to make image thumbnails for display in Numbers, or else your Number file will be huge, as you have learned.
You can use iPhoto to contain your thumbnails, and Media Browser to bring them into Numbers. I find this to be inconvenient if you have a large number of image files on your computer. My Media Browser is so slow that I don't use this method. It is much more convenient to use the Finder to locate the files and to drag or Copy/Paste them into documents.

Can't remove ghost object in Pages doc imported from Word

Hi there,
I imported a Word .docx into Pages '09 for it's better layout and figure handling capabilities.
I ran into a few issues with page numbers from Word being converted to background/master objects, but overcame that pretty easily.
The problem I now have, is that it seems one of the figures from the Word document has become some kind of unselectable ghost object. Which is only apparent because text is inexplicably wrapping around an empty space.
I've tried all the tricks I've found to select background and master objects with no luck. Has anyone encountered this before?
I'm attaching a jpeg of a screenshot of what the document is doing. Invisibles are on, so you can see that there aren't spaces, tabs, etc or an object. Yet the text is wrapping as if an object were there.
I've already made edits to the file, so I would really prefer not to have to delete figures from the Word file and re-import to Pages to fix this...
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

Ah great, it worked!
A warning to others, exporting to Rtfd and re-importing to Pages seems to have removed many of my tables and figures from the original document, in addition to the weird ghost figure. I was planning on cleaning up the figures anyway, so this is not a problem for me, but others who try this should be prepared to lose many (but not all, oddly) of their inserted objects.
Thanks very much Fruhulda!!

Page number problem with document imported from MS Word.

I am a new Mac/Pages user and imported a Word document to use as a template to help me learn the Pages formatting nuances. This has worked well except for one problem. I have page numbers in the footer, but only the first digit of the page number shows up, i.e. 7,8,9,1,1...etc. I can't find a way to edit or delete the page number imported from Word. I can easily insert the page numbers through Pages but can't get rid of the imported pages numbers. Also, how do I prevent page 1 from receiving a page number?

Hi,
Others have reported difficulty removing page numbers from imported Word docs. I think it can be done, but it may not be worth the effort to repair the imported document when you can easily Select All and Copy the entire document and Paste it into a fresh Pages blank document without the improperly formatted, persistent Word page numbering.

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....
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.
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.
