Importing Keynote slides into Pages

I'm new to a Mac. I'm doing a copy and paste of Keynote slides into a Pages document. The quality of the slide image is very poor when printed. I've done this many times before in Windows (with PPT and Word) and the quality is very high. I thought it might be the slide template I chose but then tried several others and the quality is still poor. Anybody have any suggestions?

Why not check what it is you are getting when you copy and paste?
Is the entire slide being rasterised to a bitmap?
What resolution is the original slide and is it being changed when you copy and paste.
More to the point is how are you printing the final Pages document?
If you are going to .pdf file first and there is transparency, reflections or shadows then that will be rasterised to a low 72dpi thanks to Apple's bad settings in OSX's ColorSync filters.
If the Keynote images look fine in Pages even when you zoom in on them, then the problem very likely is the ColorSync filters.

Import Keynote Slides into Imovie

Is it possible to import a Keynote slide into Imovie? If not, is there some way to create a "call out" word balloon and make it appear with a still photo in Imovie?

demoes the usage of Keynote with iMovie.
you can use 'animated' presentations or single 'charts' as jpegs ..

two options:
• prepare the still in some 'paint'-app, demoed here:

I used to be able to copy and paste images from the internet into keynote slides and pages. Now when I copy and paste all I get is an empty box. My iskysoft iTube studio has also stopped downloading videos. Is there an extension I need to enable?

Try dragging the image to the desktop, then drag the image to the slide you want it on

Import keynote presentation into iWeb?

I was thinking about adding a keynote presentation onto my web page as a slide show. Is this possible?
Thanks!

You CAN add a Keynote presentation into iWeb (exported as a QuickTime movie), you just have to be aware of some minor issues. One of the issues you'll run into you can see on this page.

Depending on the speed of your connection, if it starts playing early, it will do the first slide over and over until the full thing has been downloaded. Give it a try and post back here or in the Keynote discussions if you have any problems.

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.

Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
Help!

Hello Debbie,
as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.

Importing from photoshop into PAGES

I have a letterhead I have created in Photoshop CS2 that I am trying to import into PAGES to create a invoice. I have saved the document in .jpeg and .psd but neither are able to import into PAGES. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

The way I usually do it is to open pages and drag the file in and resize it as necessary, either by dragging a corner or in the metrics Inspector. Note that In the Metrics Inspector the proportions can be restrained or unrestrained.

Import Custom Shapes into Pages

Hi!
I am not as glad with the "onboard" shapes of pages and want to import some custom shapes (from Inkscape or Neooffice) into Pages.
It's no Problem with Bitmaps. But I just can't get vector graphics to get imported into pages.
Is there an easy way to get things done? A simple SVG -> Pages Converter might do the job as well.
Cheers,
Fox

Hi,
thanks for the answer. Of course, I tried that, and it works (kind of). But the shapes aren't imported as paths, so I can't re-edit them in Pages. So, everything has to be done in Neo/Openoffice - or Inkscape, and this means I could also import them as Bitmaps. No real difference.
Example: I want to import a shape and then change the appearance of the stroke - not possible. Or to Mask a Photo with my custom Object - not possible.
Thanks nevertheless,
Fox

Importing keynote slides to imovie

I'm trying to import a slide from keynote to use in imovie. How do I go about this?

haha, nice response.
HAVE YOU TRIED ADDING THE AUDIO TRACK IN IMOVIE RATHER THAN IN KEYNOTE?
(I'm just guessing, I haven't tried this myself)

Importing .gif file into Pages - problem with transparency

Hi Apple Forum,
First-timer (on the forum) here. I tried importing a .gif image (with alpha channel) into a pages document. The image was imported, but it's not transparent. In other words, the alpha channel isn't working. The problem is NOT with the opacity button, in case some one wants to suggest that as a solution. Has anyone had this issue before?

Hi Scrambled_Eggs
Welcome to the forum.
Resave them as .png from Preview app.

Printing n Keynote slides per page.

Hey all,
We regularly have to print out presentations but have previously exported the images to photoshop and printed six on a sheet using Contact Sheet.
I've just found out we can do something similar in Keynote '08 but it only prints down one side, wasting a lot of paper. is there a way of using the whole sheet of paper ie:
1 2
3 4
5 6
Many thanks.
Michael

Okay, I just struggled for a good 45 minutes until I finally figured it out. Here it is, step by step.
-Go to print and hit the little box with the arrow facing up to display the additional screen
-While in the "keynote" section on the drop-down box, select "Individual Slides"
-Click on the "layout" and select how many "pages per sheet" you would like (I believe both 6 and 9 are an option, and I think you'd want the first option
-Go back to the "keynote" section and select that would want all the slides printed, and you should be good to go! I just did it exactly how I described it and I also have iWork '09
Hope I helped!
I actually just thought of something. If you're doing what I described above and it's still not working, when you're on the keynote part and under the printer name it says "pages: all or from _ to _", trying putting in from slides 1 to (however many you have) and try it that way.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
What version of Pages are you using?
In Pages 5 this is:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

How do I print Keynote slides full-page

I am testing Keynote 08 and can't seem to be able to print my slides correctly. I don't want a 3 cm margin around the slide on the paper, but the regular full-page print out. No matter what I do, I always get margin. Any clues?

i am not sure if i understand your question correctly, but are you referring to the empty spaces on the margins that perhaps you want to fill up by making the slide take up the entire space? if so, here's a solution i worked out recently for Keynote 08
1. go to File>Page Setup
2. in the paper size menu, choose custom size
3. create a new Paper Size with a name like "Handout Size" or something
4. in the printer margins, choose user defined and set all the margins to zero, or any other appropriate values for you ...
This should make the slides fill up the empty spaces. Hope it helps.

Importing Numbers table into pages

Hi,
If anyone can help me out really quickly with this I'd really appreciate it, deadline coming up!
I want to get a table I've done in numbers into my assignment on Pages. The table is in landscape form and Pages in portrait. I basically just want to get the page turn it 90 degrees and slot it into my assignment.
I've tried just copying it over but all the table just comes out in a mess.
Thanks

Hello
Maybe I missed something but I don't understand your message.

Copying a table from Numbers to Pages works flawlessly as you may see on this screenshot:
Given that, it's true that there is no tool available to rotate a table but this has nothing related with your last sentence.

I can't import Keynote files into my iPad from MobileMe

Firstly, I have spent an hour or two on the web and on these forums trying to solve my problem. My goal is this: I want to open presentations on my iPad that I created on my Mac Pro. Simple enough? But every time I try to open any presentation (I store all my data files on MobileMe) I get the error "Presentation couldn't be imported. Keynote only supports documents created with iWork '09." That error message must be wrong on several levels. Firstly, today I downloaded the latest version of Keynote from the App Store for Mac. And it goes without saying I have Keynote for iPad. Why then does Keynote for iPad refuse to import any Keynote for Mac files. My files are simple: two lines of text and two images. Another thing that's wrong with the error message is that just before the error I get "Downloading 10KB of 4.0GB". but my file isn't 4GB, it's 1MB. Is the latest version of Keynote on the Apple App Store for Mac OS X not current? Do I actually have to go buy a box set of iWork to be able to access my files from my iPad? Isn't the App Store's Keynote good enough? What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Hello MiniMe2. I am steaming just like you and my iPad lost the magic, I am looking at it right now with dissapointment, not taking it as serious tool but as some sort of paper weight, nice toy. I would advise you to save your presentations using Tools/Share Print/Send to iTunes menu items in Keynote presentation. That is what I have been doing ever since, but recently I am not able to bring back some of my presentations from iTunes even know I have had using them numerous times in the past. Error message: "Presentation couldn't beimported." So I cannot give you this advice. Can you imagine the horror? Iam up front of people who depend on my presentation and I cannot bring it up.So I did half *** presentation using my own unreliable memory. I am sure that my audience and my boss were not impressed, extent of damage could be even looking for new job, but you think Apple cares laughing all the way to the bank?
