Pages for PhD-Dissertation?

Dear Friends,
*has anybody of you exerience with using Pages for long texts with a lot of foodnotes??* I am working on my PhD-Dissertation in the field of Law and Economics and I need a programme that is able to cope with lots of pages. I used microsoft word before which caused some problems. I decided to switch to indesign, but indesign was not able to import the foodnotes from word properly. So I am looking for a programme for working on my thesis. Perpaps I can use pages. I am very grateful for any comment. Thank you!
Best
Joe

You could try out the iWork trial and see if it can cope. You can also search in the forum for long documents, large documents, many footnotes etc. during the last year and see if there were any problems. I know some large documents work fine and some have had problems but I can't remember which problems.
Maybe you should complement with the application Endnotes.

Please help... Pages file won't load, PhD dissertation data!

(Unfortunately, I hit the "problem solved" button last question and for some reason it can't be undone!! I'm going insane trying to solve this problem... I don't know what to do, I can't download on iWork's site either, and I don't know where to find the raw data! Please Help!)
Dear Apple forum users and Apple,
I'm writing you about a fairly serious problem. I have an iPad that I use Pages on it to write notes for my research and my PhD dissertation when I study in a cafe. I found today that one document that I finished up last night is not opening, stating that it cannot be opened. I've had trouble with Pages before, especially with iCloud but this time it is much more serious.
Please, this is an extremely important document and I need to know what my options are. I have a PC at home and I am considering trying to break into the files of the iPad but there has to be another way.
(I'm in Japan, and no where near an Apple store, and don't feel I should even have to, so I need a way to access my file to salvage what I can...)

It works OK for me in Firefox. Which browser(s) have you tested it on?
Flash form scripts may be conflicting with banner scripts. I don't know. Also, you have some validation errors on the page. Start by fixing those.

How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

Hi jonathan,
I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes! Here's all you need to do:
1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
Hope that helps!

How can I modify the default styles or create new ones in pages for IPad?

Hi, I have recently bought the pages for IPad App. It is nice, but I wonder How to modify the default styles or create My own ones...Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately, pages on the iPad does not support editing styles. The mac version is an extremely powerful piece of software (I know someone who has recently completed their PhD thesis in it), but the iPad version has only a fraction of the features.
The only word processor for the iPad I'm aware of that fully provides support for styles is UX Write - see http://www.uxproductivity.com (disclaimer: I've been involved with the development of this app). This is designed for the sort of high-end professional authoring tasks that you can do with Pages for Mac. Customisable styles are one of the most fundamental aspects of this app, and it provides extensive formatting options and the ability to define your own, new, custom styles.

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Removing documents from iCloud:
iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

Logical symbols in pages for IPad? Asking for help

I have a new IPad and I would like to define logical symbols on my keyboard (just like ą, ę and so on). Is there some way to do it and to use it in PAGES for IPad? I would prefer to have few math symbols defined directly under some bottoms and not to use copy/paste. (I tried to find in Pages for IPad some special characters, but there are no such things, perhaps it is possible to add it?) I have also small separated keybord (perhaps this could be somehow used...?)

Afraid you cannot define custom characters for any keyboard in the iPad. What accented characters there are can be shown by holding the appropriate letter down.

Infopackage Idocs in status 2 - could not find code page for receiver system

Hi,
We just migrated our production system from BW 7.01 non unicode to BW 7.4 on HANA.
We now encounter issues with idocs while loading data into bw from our ECC5 source. When we analyze idocs in the source system it appears with the message "could not find code page for receiver system"
One weird thing is that the idoc seems to have been created before we started the infopackage in bw.. We controlled system time and AS time and everything seems ok.
We did not encounter this issues on our previous migration test runs..
Hope someone can help
Christophe

Hi,
Thanks for responding. We finally found out what the problem was.
We have two applications servers on our ECC with 2 different OS. One of them could not reach the new BW HANA server.
Regards
Christophe

I bought pages for my macbook air, but it is not showing up on my desktop mac

I recently purchased Pages as it is on my ipad / iphone / ipod touch, so I thought why not have it on my Macbook air and desktop mac. I bought it on the Macbook air, but it is not showing up on my purchases, and if I go to download it on the desktop, it states it is 19.99. What am I doing wrong?

Apps installed on your iOS devices cannot run on Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
If you want Pages on your Mac, you can purchase and download the Pages app for OS X here.
Be aware, the minimum requirement for Pages for OS X is v10.9 or later.

Have you moved Pages from its installed location? Or just dragged a copy to your current system?
It can't find some of its resources apparently.

How to get pages list for a group space or create a page for a group space

hi All,
I am using wc11.1.1.3, I want to use java api to implementing the following functions in site template:
1. Get pages list for a given group space
2. Create a page for a given group space
I researched the following codes from web site:
PageDef newPage = mPageService.createPage(
PERSONAL_USER_PAGE, pageNameFormat, pageTitle,
"MyPageTemplate1.jspx",
"/mytemplates/",
null, null, null);
What should be used instead of PERSONAL_USER_PAGE if a group space page is intended to be created? which parameter is for defining group space name that the page should be created for?
By the way, PageService seems has method for getting list of pages, but how to use it to get page list which is in a specified gs?
Best regards

did you manage to get the page list using Page Service API?

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

I want to create home page for my application with short URL

I want to create home page for my application with short URL
as when I want user to use my application user must go to URL like this
http://127.0.0.1:7101/My-Project/faces/app/empModule/allEmployees/viewMyEmployees.jspxI want the user to use short URL , How can I use shorter URL not all this one.
I want shorter URL for my application not to write full path .
thanks in advance.

Well,
it's up to you. The first part (Mcit-Project-ViewController-context-root) is the context root which you define in the view controller project. 'faces' is the name the servlet filter reacts on. You can't omit it but shorten it in web.xml. The rest is your directory structure. I'm not sure how to shorten this other as to move the jspx files back into the web root folder.
By the way an ADF faces app never uses the .jspx at the end of the url. If you specify '.jspx', you only render the page but don't start the work flow.

How can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my we site home screen

how can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my website's home screen

You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

Pages Document created on Macbook Air cannot be opened on Ipad Mini. I get a message that reads, "only documents saved in pages '09 may be opened." These devices are one week old and I just downloaded Pages for each.

I just got a Macbook Air running 10.8.2 and an iPad Mini. I downloaded Pages for both. I created a document in pages on the MBair and tried to save it to the iPad Mini so I could work on it while commuting and the file does not show up on the mini. I have tried to saved the file through iTunes app page and the message keeps telling me I can only transfer files saved in Pages 09. What gives? I can transfer files made in Microsoft word no problem, but files made in the same program do not work. Any help?? Very frustrating.

You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
If that's the case
Pages for Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12
Pages for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
