Is it possible to change a document from Page Layout to Word Processing?

I just downloaded and launched the Pages 4.0.4 update, which adds the option of exporting to ePub. Unfortunately Pages won't export a Page Layout document to ePub.
Is there any way to change the type of document or would it be easier to just create a new document and paste everything from one to the other. This is a newsletter document that gets published monthly with new content so changing from one format to the other oughtn't bring too many problems.
Thanks!

I know that floating objects isn't supported in WP and I think there are a couple of other things but I can't recall off the top of my head.
I remember that I started using it in the WP mode when I first put together this monthly newsletter and ran into some problems, and switching to Layout took care of those problems.
I've nothing against the WP mode, in fact Iuse it all the time for more traditional WP jobs. It's just that I found the Layout mode to be more suited to, well, laying out. I come from the really old school of physically cutting and pasting typewritten stuff and Zip-a-tone line art graphics onto a large sheet of paper lined with a "non-photo" blue grid. The person who actually printed it took a picture of these pages and used the resulting page as a lithograph master, using real (ugh!) viscous ink rather than toner. So having the option of moving objects around and flowing text around graphics is appealing. Let me know in a PM if you want a Pages file of one of these issues.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to use a document from Pages in iphoto?

I have some written messages from people that I would like to include as a part of an idvd as "pictures" of each message. Can I type them up in Pages and import to iphoto? I have tried every way I can think of other than printing and scanning each into iphoto.
thanks for any suggestions

I would export the PDF to .png or .tiff in Preview. iPhoto does accept .png & .tiff & the results will be much clearer for text.

When I export documents from Pages to MS Word, Slavic characters (č, š, ž), in the Times New Roman font, show up in a different font (Arial Unicode), in Word. Can this be prevented?

Certain characters, such as those with a caron diacritic (č, š, ž), show up in a different font when I export documents to Word, even though the font I use in Pages (Times New Roman) also exists in Word. When I was working with Word, I had no problem with these caroned characters.

What version of Pages?
What version of Word?
I tried this with Times New Roman in both Pages '09 and Pages 5.5.1 and opened them in TextEdit, LibreOffice and Word for Mac.
I only saw what you reported when I opened the Pages 5.5.1 in LibreOffice which leads me to suspect you are actually talking about Word for Windows on a PC.
As usual Pages '09 worked flawlessly even with LibreOffice:
It is no surprise to me that Pages 5 stuffs up the formatting as that seems to be its primary function.

Is it possible to change the costing from moving average to standard??

Hi Satish
Please look at the documentation from SAP for using this function. I just looked on my drive and can't find the document I used to have for this.
Just setting quantities to zero will not work as all open P/O, S/O, etc must also be closed before you can run the Inventory Valuation Method function. This is all detailed in the document.
I have done this successfully before for a client with over 4000 items, so I have been through the process. Please let me know if you need assistance.
Kind regards

...Is it possible that the server at work is somehow affecting these attachments?
I can't say, but if that's the answer, trying to get it fixed might be impossible. Instead, I'd suggest compressing your attachments to create a .zip file. Decompression at the other end would take no time, and if the server changes the attachment's file type, just change it back to .zip.

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

Very cumbersome.
How many pages?
Make a copy first.
In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
For 11x17 to 8.5 x11 crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
Do you have InDesign?
Create a new document correct to finished page size.
(Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
Export new pdf.

Is it possible to change application state from a component?

I was wondering if it is possible to change application state from within a custom component and if so, what would the syntax be if I had an application named "zzz" and I wanted to change the app state from "state1" to "state2" from my component?
Thanks!

Hi,
you always have a static class Application.
Application.application will be the root component. After that you can change it state.
Application.application.currentState = "state2";
But it's not the best way to change states. It's better to dispatch events from components and change states in listeners.

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

If mean by way of Safari, that is correct. Only content of the Camera or Photos apps are available. you will need to find an alternate app such as iCab Mobile for uploading documents to a website.

I have updated my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1.1 and I am trying to email a document from pages but it has changed and I don't know how to email directly from pages anymore can someone please help ?

I have updated my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1.1. Now I cannot email from pages . Cannot anyone help me please ?

Hi Lila,
Bring up the document you want to email, and tap the wrench in the upper right-hand corner. Under that Tools icon you will see several options, select Share and Print.
Select Email Document
Then select the document format you wish to send the document in: Pages, PDF, or Word
Tap on one, and the document will format into that selection, and then take you to a blank email page with the document attached and ready to go!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

I can't print my document from Pages...the Print Button is down behind the Dock...and I can't click it to Print....healp!

I can't print my document from Pages...since the Print Button is lodged behind the Dock...What do I do?

Hi Judith,
Your Print button should be accessible, of course, but sometimes we can do things to confuse the system and we have to take some action to get out of that situation. This case sometimes arises if we change the resolution of our screen display since opening the app, or if we change the position of something that is set to "stay on top" of the display.
If the Dock is the problem right now, you could Hide it or Move it to a different edge of the display, to get it out of the way. Settings are in System Preferences, Personal, Dock. I usually have my Dock set to automatically Hide itself, so it's never in the way.
You could also try Saving, Closing and reopening Pages and see if that resets the location of the Print Dialog. Or, you could just hit Return rather than clicking on the button.

How can I retrieve my document from pages

I need to recuperare my documenta from pages, from a previos iclou account

Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

I have been trying to email a document from pages on my iPad in PDF it seems to do everything but when I go into my sent email file it is not there and recipient hasn't received it

I Have been trying to email a document from pages on my iPad in PDF format. i go through all the steps and it seems to send it but the recipient doesn't receive it. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.
