Linking a cel out of numbers with pages

How do i link dynamically a cel out of numbers in pages.
I want that the value of a specific cel in numbers is visible in pages, and when i change a value in numbers that effects that cel, the result is also visible in pages.

When we copy a block of cells (E12:L30) then paste it in Pages, cells are 'renamed'.
The top_left cell of the block becomes A1.
If a cell in a colum A thru D was referenced in the copied block, we get the red triangle because the formula is ponting to an illegal address.
The workaround is simple:
Select the block
Copy it
Paste values on itself
Copy
Paste in Pages
Back to Numbers
Undo Paste so the original formulas will be restaured.
Last year, I asked Apple to change the Edit Menu this way:
replace Paste Values by Copy Values.
It would cange nothing for the standard copy/paste
When we need to paste values,
the protocol Copy / Paste Values
would be replaced by Copy Values / Paste
So it would change nothing in Numbers but it would solve the problem which you described.
It was not applied by Apple.
You may
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, ask for such a feature.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Cutting and pasting cells out of Numbers into Pages

I'm not sure whether this is a Numbers problem a Pages problem. I have a table of cells in Numbers. Some of the cells have basic calculations in such as =sum(). All looks fine in Numbers, so I select and copy the cells and paste into Pages - but the cells with the calculations appear with the red error triangles and refer to an invalid cell reference or an error in the cells.
The really irritating thing is that if I paste the same table of cells in Word, it works perfectly.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

Heading numbering with Pages 5

Hi,
I am trying to add heading numbering in Pages 5 (5.0.1) with no success. Basically every time I update a style, style details are updated while numbering is not. Are there other people out there with the same issue? Any clue/help will be appreciated :-)
Many thanks,
Fabrice.

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I can no longer tab between cells in a table with pages 5.0.

I use pages everyday for filling in my work booking sheets. I need to have them synching to the cloud, so I can access the client information while on the road.
My booking sheet is basically a large table with many cells for name, address, phone number, etc. In pages 4.3 I could enter some information into the cell, hit the tab button, and it would go straight to the next cell in the table. This was a quick and easy way for me to fill out my forms on the computer.
Well, since the update, the tab button only moves the cursor over in the same cell, as opposed to the next cell. It is VERY rare to need to tab in a cell, as opposed to going to the next cell.
I did figure out that I could Option+ Tab to move to the next cell, but it is very hard to change my procedure of tabbing after all this timing doing it the other way.
Am I just missing a preferance to tab between cells, instead of inside a cell?
Thanks
Dave

Option-tab makes sense and can be done with the left hand's thumb/forefinger.
Using tab was always arse-backwards as it defeated the use of tab within the table cell.
Best to use both for what they always do:
Option tab or an arrow key (singular) to jump cells
tab to jump to the next tab in the text wherever it is within or without cells.
The contrary precedence was set by Microsoft and was a bad idea. In good UI you do not have shortucts reverse roles such that you need to pay excessive attention to the context.

Why are linked documents randomly out of sync with source docs?

Regarding RoboHelp’s Link to Word feature…
I have a RH 9 HTML project on my local drive with several hundred help topics that are “linked as references” from Word documents on a network drive. All was well until recently… several of the linked help topics are showing as “out of sync” even though the source documents have not be changed or moved. The out of sync topics all seem to be randomly picked, and when I update one topic to get things back in sync, another topic appears out of sync. It is not project specific, because I created a new project and created links to the same Word documents and the out of sync issue happened again. I tried removing the cpd file and opening up the project so that a new cpd file is generated, but the problem persists.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Is it some sort of connection issue?

Hi, I understand about the mismatch…the problem is there shouldn’t be any mismatches, because the source documents didn’t change at all, and no updates were made to the html help topics in RoboHelp. The mismatches appear for no reason that I am aware of. They are very random and I can “fix” the mismatches by performing an “update” for a few linked topics, but then a few more mismatches randomly appear.
I don’t use a Master Page…can you think of anything else I should look into?
Thanks for your help.

How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks. When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet. But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page. Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read. I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched from excel to numbers).

One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it. Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

Links no longer working in PDF with Pages 5

I have links in my Pages 5 document that work in Pages but no longer work in the PDF. They did when this was a Pages 09 file. In Pages 5 I can edit the, test them and everything is fine. Links are useless unless they can be part of the final deocument. Does anyone else have this issue and a work around? I am on Mavericks.

This is just one of over 90 features Apple has removed from Pages 5.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

Copying Cells with references from Numbers to Pages

I'm trying to copy a row of cells to paste into a Pages doc. The row of cells are referenced to other cells in the Numbers sheet that are not being copied to the Pages doc. Once copied to the pages doc I get errors for the referenced cells.
Is there any way to get these cells to show the references? perhaps something like the Microsoft paste special?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
may you give details?
I'm not sure that I understood well.
Are you asking about formulas referencing cells in a single table or cells in a different table ?
If you want to show the formulas, select the group of cells, apply the format text, copy then paste in the Pages document.
If you want to paste the values, duplicate the source table copy the cells to transfer
paste values in th duplicate table
select agai
copy then paste in Pages.
For this task, I asked Apple for a slight change.
At this time, in Numbers we have
three menu items linked to the task:
copy
paste
paste values.
I wish that they would be replaced by
copy
copy values
paste.
Which this new set, there will be no true change in the way we would use Numbers itself but it would became easy to paste values in an other application like Pages or Keynote.

Copy a table from numbers to pages only with content

Dear all,
I'm rather new to iWork 08 and now i'm trying to copy a table from a numbers document to a pages document. When i do so it copies the table but with all the formulas and in pages it does not recognize what equals one cell to another. In other words, since the table in discussion has another table beneath it which is linked to with some simple formulas, and i copy only the above table it doesn't know how to link the results to the table below.
To clarify if i copy and paste the whole numbers worksheet containing both tables it pastes into pages in the correct way, all the data being there.
Having said that is there a way to copy only the content from numbers to pages?
I ask this because i can think of no other way to copy and paste properly the table in question.
You can clearly see here what i mean: http://gallery.me.com/bimmered#100024
What you see in the left is the pages document zoomed out to 75%. If you look closely you can see in the lower left of it the unkown data in the table. On the center right you can see the numbers document showing exactly like i want to appear in pages too.
On this pic you can see that copy and pasting the entire table works: http://gallery.me.com/bimmered#100031
So...what's the catch?
Thanks

Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : pasteValues.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Copier un bloc de cellules de Numbers dans le presse-papiers.
Placer le curseur où vous voulez dans un document Pages (ce peut-être une cellule de table).
menu Scripts > Pages > pasteValues
Le script collera les valeurs seules.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: pasteValues.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy a block of cells from Numbers in the clipboard.
Put the cursor where you wish in a Pages document (it may be a cell of a table).
menu Scripts > Pages > pasteValues
The script will paste the values only.

I can't seem to see sync my mac and iphone using iCloud with numbers and pages how can i correct this?

Hi
I've used Numbers and Pages for IOS for sometime now and when i use safari to look at my icloud account i can see all my files. Recently i bought Numbers for Mac and now whenever i create a spreadsheet on my mac i can't see it on my iphone but i can if i login to icloud. In fact i can only see about 16 files on my iphone when there is over 40 files.
Although i don't yet have pages for mac i now have a similar problem with Pages, whenever i edit a file or even create a file on IOS it doesn't appear in icloud.
I did think it was something to do with me not selecting backup to icloud so i then spent £14 to upgrade my storage to 15GB and that hasn't helped.
I've checked all the settings and can't see anythng that will cause the problem.
My iphone is running IOS 6 and my Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Does anyone know how to correct this mess?
Many thanks in advance.
Mick.

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hello jacquemac,
Your first question:
There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
(what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and "Insert page number" -> start at 1
Your second question:
Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
greetings jl

Linking table of contents with pages 5.0

I write some help-books for friends and the family.
I wrote down everything I need and I've created a table of contents with page numbers.
Now you can push the numbers behind the headings and you are automatically on the right page for reading the text. (In Pages document)
In pages 5.0 these things are still working fine, but....
When I export the document into a pdf, you can't push/touch the headings and the numbers behind there headings.
With the old pages, after exporting the document into a pdf, you could import it into iBooks on the iPad. In iBooks now you can touch a heading and you'll get on the right page.
That was realy helpfull, 1 click and you could read the text on which you're interested.
But with the new pages 5.0 this feature is deleted... or I do something wrong.
Could anyone of you help me for getting this feature back, if I do something wrong?

Well there is a standard body for EPUB - http://idpf.org/epub
And, Apple furnishes the TEMPLATE - the Pages 09 TEMPLATE - automatically (supposedily) makes the TOC links which - then - you can export to EPUB.
Again, the problem I'm daling with is that the Kindle for the iPad, does not see the TOC. It des see it in the Kindle Softward for the Mac - which is different - for some reason. I have authored two books on Pages but Amazon converts my EPUB file to fit the Kindle device itself.

HT5071 I am putting together a book with iBooks Author and all of my pages are numbered (3) how can I change them to an acceding order starting with page one?

Adobe Reader - how to add page numbers with the free version?

Hey guys,
Imagine I've got a PDF file and I want to create a new one by selecting some pages out of it. I know this is simply possible by using the PDFcreator but I want to add page numbers. As far as I know this is not possible with the free version of Adobe unless I would add the page number on every single page by using a text box. I want to make different catalogs from the PDF so the page numbers are really necessary. Have you got any idea how to solve that issue? You know that's pretty much the only thing I need to add which means it's not worth buying the Pro version. Unfortunately I only got the PDF and I can't work on it e.g. with MS word before I export it. Do you know if there is a way to add page numbers with a free version? There might be an additional free software which allows that?
Thanks for your support!

Thanks for your quick replies.
I know how to add text page by page. But obviously it's hard to place the numbers on the very same position, is it?
