Importing templates & fonts from Microsoft Office into Pages

At Peggy's suggestion in the Appleworks discussion group, I saved templates and fonts from a Microsoft Office Test Drive, so I can install them into my newly acquired iWork Pages program.
Pages is now installed, but I don't know where to put the templates or fonts from Office.
Can you tell me where they'd go?
Thanks,

Hi, Peggy - It's TeddyZ again, but in a different forum. I think I might have completely misunderstood you. I saved all the templates from Office Test Drive (which I deleted, at your suggestion, to avoid those annoying prompts from Microsoft).
These templates reside in a folder on my desktop. They are not documents - just the templates (and their icons).
The Office Template icons are never able to be highlighted, so I can't read them, pull them up, or save them, or access them in any way. Doing a File>Open, etc. yields nothing.
I think I should have methodically made documents using each Office template - they would have then been in a Word format which Pages can read. It would have been a chore, but I think it could have worked.
Unless you or anyone else has another idea, I think I'd better settle for the templates found in Pages. I've only had Pages for a few days - it's not as flexible as I was hoping - but at least it can read Word documents, which is more than AW can do and why I purchased Pages in the first place.
Thanks again. TeddyZ

  • Successfully importing cross-references from Microsoft Word into InDesign?

    Hello --
    I am laying out a series of long documents (~130 pages each) in InDesign CS5.5.
    The writer for the project has used cross-references in MS Word for areas like the TOC, index and page references ("See page X for more information").
    Is it possible to import these cross-references into InDesign so that the InDesign document functions like the Word document with the cross-references?
    I am thinking no because I am having a ton of trouble with it so far, but wanted to get a definite answer from an expert.
    When I import the text, the cross-references appear in InDesign in the Hyperlinks/cross-reference panel. However, InDesign says they need to be updated based on the way the text flowed in InDesign. And when I click the auto update button, all sorts of funky stuff happens and basically -- the cross-references create a bunch of typos and become junk.
    Thoughts? Knowledge on this topic?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I can't speak to general or specific causes of your cross-reference problems. However, I believe that InDesign x-refs behave a bit differently in CS4, CS5, and CS5.5, and if you have either of these earlier releases, you might try them for comparison.
    Also, you might want to look into the free trial of DTP Tools' cross-references plug-in for InDesign, at dtptools.com, to see if it's more successful than InDesign's built-in x-refs.

    When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed.  But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • Importing element definition from an  EDD into a template - does not work

    FM 10.0.1 German on Windows XP SP3.
    When importing the element definitions from an existing EDD into an existing template, FrameMaker converts the template into a  new EDD.
    So the element definitions which are correctly defined do not appear in the template.
    The highest level element is than ElementCatalog in the template and not the higherst lvel element defined in the EDD.
    In FM9 this was no issue.
    Any help is appreciated, I have a deadline and must do some changes in the EDD.
    Best Regards
    Thomas

    Lynne,
    EDD is english (Version FM7.0), Interface language is German.
    Maybe it´s a localization issue.
    I have attached a captivate demo pdf so you can see what happens and the
    defective EDD.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen
    Best Regards

    Thomas,
      No question the behavior you describe is a bug. However, I am unable to
    duplicate it. I created an EDD with two element definitions:
    Element (Container): doc
      Valid as the highest-level element.
      General rule:  (
      When I imported element definitions from this EDD into a new portrait
    document, FM reports that element a is referenced but not defined and that
    b is defined but not referenced. However, with all elements listed, the
    element catalog shows a, b, and doc. The metatemplate elements are not
    available.
      I wonder if this is a language-dependent problem. Is your EDD German or
    English? What about your user interface?
      Can you send me a short EDD that fails as you've described?
      Thanks,
          --Lynne

  • Captivate 5 Won't Import My Font From PPT

    I'm working with Captivate 5 and PPT 2007.  I'm importing a PPT presentation into Captivate and it will not pull my fonts through.  It changes everything to the Captivate default font.  The strangest thing is that I imported the exact same PPT presentation yesterday and it kept my fonts.  I've tried it several times today and it won't do it. The font is an option to select in Captivate so I just can't image why it's doing this. Any idea earthly idea why this is happening?? I need help quick!

    Subject: [Import/Export] Captivate 5 Won't Import My Font From PPT
    Have you tried importing a small PPT with the same required font into a new Captivate project?
    I'm wondering if the issue is due to some corruption in your current project.  Sometimes trying the same task in a brand new project file works, where doing it in another existing project doesn't.
    Perhaps you could also take a screenshot of the font issue and show us what it looks like and what it should look like?

  • Creating PDF Files from Microsoft Office | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

    This video explains how to create PDF files from Microsoft Office products including Office 2010 in Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/w5Vsg9

    I have used Print to PDF from the File Menu in Office many times. Normally it works fine, but for whatever reason, in MS Excel 2010, I have one file that will not Print.
    It allows me to select the Adobe Printer and save location, and when I hit "Print" it shows a dialog box for about 1/2 a second, but no progress meter, and the file isn't created. All other files work fine except this one - there aren't any security measures or special attributes in the file, it just doesn't physically create the PDF.
    Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have tried rebooting both Excel as well as the Laptop several times.

  • Copying from microsoft word into my application

    I am copying from microsoft word into my application..
    and them on submit, i am calling a procedure i get the following error
    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
    i think its down to special characters used.. like apostrophe is different in word then normal.. anyone got solution for this error not to occur?

    74 questions, 72 unresolved.
    And this one: sadly we are not looking over your shoulder, so we don't know what 'copying' means, which version of Word, which 4-digit version of the database, and which SQL statement fails.

  • Importing keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?

    Is it possible to import keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?
    And how?

    Mmh, you could possibly simply copy over the respective files from your preset directory (Documents and Settings/Matjaz/Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop CS3/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts). Not sure if it's safe, though. Never tried.

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

  • Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

    Try:
    Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
    Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
    When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
    Import that file into FCPX.

  • Import IP Prefix from Global Table into a VRF Table

    Hello,
    Is it possible to import IP Prefix from Global Table into a VRF Table on ASR9001 with Version 4.3.0? Thanks.
    Regards,
    Eric

    hi Eric,
    In 4.3.1 there is a feature that will allow you to do this.
    The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) dynamic route leaking feature provides the ability to import routes
    between the default-vrf (Global VRF) and any other non-default VRF, to provide connectivity between a
    global and a VPN host. The import process installs the Internet route in a VRF table or a VRF route in the
    Internet table, providing connectivity.
    You can follow the ASR9000 blog here to monitor when 4.3.1 will be posted to Cisco.com
