Pages loses text in Word import

I'm importing a word document, and Pages is leaving out text that TextEdit does not. Specifically the following data:
HYPERLINK \l "_Toc190168203" Application Configuration Settings PAGEREF _Toc190168203 \h 33
HYPERLINK \l "_Toc190168204" Application Settings PAGEREF _Toc190168204 \h 33
HYPERLINK \l "_Toc190168205" Web.config Settings PAGEREF _Toc190168205 \h 35
pages only shows me the Application Configuration Settings reference, and drops the other two... whats going on?

Hello
It appears that there where three TOCs. Pages accepts only one.
I assumes that this is the explanation.

  • Since my iPad IOS was updated to 7.0.4, when I send a Pages doc as a Word docx to my kindle the text is all scrunched up down one side as if the letters are on top of each other.  It worked find before and the docx are OK when imported to Word.

    Since my iPad 2 was updated to IOS 1.0.4, I cannot send a docx from Pages to my kindle.  I can to my PC and open it in Word.  But when I send a pages document and select Word as the format, the letters appear on my kindle screen down the left side, printed on top of each other.  It worked fine before the upgrade.  Any suggestions? 

    What version of Pages are you using? Did you upgrade to Pages 2.1 for iOS?

  • Pages loses formatting and text when converting from docx or doc

    I receive .docx or .doc documents that I need to convert to a PDF. However, I frequently lose both formatting and text when I open the document in Pages. I don't understand how to fix the problem. I have tried copying/pasting the text into a new Pages document, but nothing changes.
    Also, I have heard there is a freeware program out there that some Apple users use that retains the formatting, but I don't know the name.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I have to use a PC in the meantime.

    Hi Tricia,
    Like Yvan earlier, I must confess some surprise at Pages losing text content of a Word document on translation. Formatting, yet.
    The only circumstance where text loss seems at all likely is if the text was contained in a Text Frame. Even then, I would expect the frame to be converted to a Text Box, and the contents retained in the Pages document.
    Meantime, I would recommend you try OpenOffice.org or NeoOffice, either of which will open .doc and .docx files, and will save to either of those formats as well. The links will take you directly to the sites for these applications.
    Regarding the long download times: a 24 hour estimate would indicate you are on a dialup connection, or getting only dialup speeds. Most public libraries and a large number of coffee houses here in Canada offer free wireless hot spots that provide a high speed connection. If that's also true in Colorado, you might find it more efficient to take your MacBook to one of them for a shorter download time.

  • Importing text from Word to ID

    Hello. Which are the best way to import text files? I mean, step by step, from Microsoft Word to ID? It is a headache when you apply an style and booom all the italics and bolds dissapear... Sometimes it works fine when i apply a style, but sometimes it does a disaster. From now, I am really curious about how indesign thinks to resolve the import cases and the work of styles.
    1) Why sometimes erase all the word local formats and sometimes does not?
    2) Is it a problem using .doc, .docx or .rtf to save text files an import?
    3) Is the problem that you work with .TTF fonts (like Arial, Times, Courier) from word and on ID you use OpenType Fonts?
    4) What is the NON-FAIL way to do an excellent import? from Microsoft Word to ID
    Thanks

    When placing, you can select to either preserve 'local' formatting or remove it. Local formatting is "anything done without using a style", just as it is in InDesign. As Ellis says, check your import settings.
    In addition, even if you 'preserve' local formatting, it's very easy to accidentally remove it in InDesign when you apply another style. If common attributes such as bold and italics are not applied through character styles in the original Word document, you should preserve them yourself by doing that in InDesign.
    2) Is it a problem using .doc, .docx or .rtf to save text files an import?
    Yes, on all three. There is no single format that InDesign works best with. If a Word document causes me trouble, I try the other options until I get not exactly the "best" result, but more accurately a "least bad".
    3) Is the problem that you work with .TTF fonts (like Arial, Times, Courier) from word and on ID you use OpenType Fonts?
    Not in the least. Actually, you can use TTF fonts as well as OTF fonts with InDesign. The import is totally indifferent of the fonts used -- it doesn't matter what you used in Word, you'll get the same fonts in the imported text. That is, except when it's bitmap fonts, which you cannot use in InDesign, or when the author italicized or bolded text in Word where the actual Bold or Italic font doesn't exist. But even then, InDesign will happily import the text -- it will just have an 'unavailable' font assigned to it, and you'll be notified of that.
    4) What is the NON-FAIL way to do an excellent import? from Microsoft Word to ID
    I would like to know the answer to that as well. The import filter has problems with tables, footnotes, endnotes, automatic references, and new page codes, for .docx, .rtf, and .doc files.

  • Importing multiple PDF pages into text boxes

    Hi,
    Im wanting to import a pdf doc of adverts (roughly 300 pages) into indesign into a text box to allow me to treat the individual pages as text items to allow me to space them and fit them to the pages accordingly. I can add single pages into a text box using the place command however it wont flow all the pages into the text box one after each other.
    is this possible?

    I expect this would need to be scripted unless you are able to use a grid,  in which case the "gridified" placing options in CS5 might allow you to place  all the pages that will fit on a single page at one time from the loaded cursor.  That's not something I've played with, though so I can't wear it would  work.
    I'm not sure placing them as inline anchored objects (as you describe), by  the way, is going to give you the sort of placement control you want.

  • When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

    When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.  I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

    You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
    I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file.  Here is what I did/found:
    In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
    Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before.  The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
    One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
    I hope this helps others out there.

  • Importing Styled Text from Word

    For a publication, writers submit stories in Word format, with the Normal paragraph style set to Times New Roman. Within the paragraphs are numerous instances of Italic and Bold.
    My InDesign file has the Normal style set to ITC Garamond Light. When importing, the ID style definition for normal replaces that of Word, and the Times New Roman Bold comes in as ITC Garamond Bold. But the TNR Italic produces the Missing Fonts warning, because, of course, there is no ITC Garamond Italic. My solution has been to then run Find Font to replace the one Italic with the other.
    But I've been wondering if there might be a more seamless way to replace the font automatically?

    When you are importing the text, click "show import options" then click "Customize Style import" and then press "style mapping". A dialog box will come up that let's you map the Word style to your ID style. If there is a style in the list that isn't in your ID file, you can go backwards, and create that style the way you want it. Then, go back to theh import options and map theh styles accordingly.

  • How to import text from Word and retain italics and/or indented text?

    Is it possible to import or copy text from Word into InDesign and retain italics or text that is indented in the Word version?

    just wanna edit wrote:
    Thank you, I think I understand the idea of "place" (which is what I would call "paste")
    The two are not at all the same. Paste involves copying text to the clipboard and then pasting from the clipboard. Place is an import operation.

  • When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", but I can copy text into Word document & printer works.

    I am unable to print anything from an internet web page. I continually get "printer not activated, error code- 30" followed by "An unknown error occurred while printing". I can copy the material from the web page, place into a Word document and then print. This just started yesterday and I have no idea why. Would appreciate your advice!

  • Is it possible to have a full page of text?

    I would like to create a book with a page of just text. I cannot find a page layout that will let me do this. Has anyone been able to accomplish this task?
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Jonathan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have a full page of text but you have to create an image file of the text and put it in a one photo per page layout like this. Create the text in your text editor with the Page Setup set to Landscape. When you have the text as you want it, go to the Print window, click on the PDF button and select Send PDF to iPhoto. That will create a 200 dpi jpeg file for that page and import it into iPhoto where you can use it in the book. A word of caution: this is an Automator processs and when the conversion is done and ready to import a window will come up asking you to select an album or name a new one to put the file. This window does not always come to the front so make sure you have all other windows minimized. Then minimize iPhoto's window and you'll see the Automator window. I sat for 30 minutes the first time and aborted the process before I realized what was happening.
    You can also have the text in the portrait orientation if you'd like.
    With an application like Word or Pages you can fancy up the text page more than TextEdit can.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • [CS4] Word Import severely broken/Interim Solution

    As I said before on this topic,
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    The Word import has gone from already rather bad to worse with one of the upgrade patches. ...
    -- read this for the symptoms.
    I finally found a work-around. Strangely enough it was one that has been rattling in my head for a while, but I can't for the life of me remember where I got that idea!
    The problem lies in Word's Bookmarks. These are not recognized by InDesign CS4/CS5 Import filter (but they are by CS3 and earlier!) and thus each one of them creates a mis-match in the following text, accumulating up to the end of each paragraph (or possibly the next one, it's too idiotic to check for those fine details). Only at the very end of the document, ID suddenly realizes it has a few text fragments left over, and decides to tack them on to the end.
    With results like this:
    and yes, these text fragments belong somewhere in the middle of the document! Even worse, here you can see it's text that's been displaced, but it also happens with pure text formatting. Bye-bye smooth text import, hello Mr. Angry Client!
    I reported this issue to Adobe "Support" (hum hum), complete with test documents, and got the quite unexpected answer that it was unrealistic to expect "perfect import" because, well, my page size was different in InDesign, my margins were different, the paragraph spacing doesn't work the same as in Word ... so it was no wonder the text was "not the same after importing".
    Ahhhh ... now I got that out of my system: the solution is to remove all Bookmarks in the Word file prior to importing. For Windows, you can make a small VB Macro:
    Sub KillBookmark()
        While ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count > 0
            ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(1).Delete
        Wend
    End Sub
    but for OS X you have to take the manual route: go to menu Insert, select "Bookmark", point to one, select "Delete". Repeat until bored to death.
    Now that I have done the work Adobe programmers should have done (that is, finding out what the d*** problem actually was) and present them with a Ready-to-Implement Solution (revise the code that handles bookmarks): WHEN WILL THEY FIX IT!?!?
    Please don't say "CS6". I'm still on CS4, and since it got broken in that version, I must insist on a fix for CS4.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Just where did you send the report and test files? There's no way to attach files to the bug report form, so were you talking to some contract script-reading idiot who passes himself off for tech support these days, or did one of the engineering team actually get back to you and ask for the files? I suspect not the latter, and I can offer some suggestions for whom to email. In fact, I think I may put a bug in someone's ear now.
    Customer support, by e-mail. They *did* ask for files and I sent a whole bunch of them, original Word files, ID files to show how they got imported, and even separate screen shots of the problem pages with circles highlighting the broken parts.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    As far as getting a patch for CS4, it's always nice to see a romantic dreamer.
    But Adobe broke it in CS4. I noticed it, working with CS4. I complained about it after noticing it in CS4, and I filed a customer support case (w/due documentation) for my version: CS4. It's Adobe's own fault, as they have such a bad customer support service that it cannot readily respond to complaints about the current version!
    Sorry Peter, this has been discussed before extensively, and Adobe never looked into it before. Remember me asking if this was ever solved in CS5?
    If you haven't escalated your case with customer support to a manager and then that manager's highest-level manager, like the DIRECTOR of customer support, that's a good thing to put into action. From there, insist that the case goes to the highest-level manager or DIRECTOR of technical support, so you can register it as a bug that will get attention, and at no charge to you for the tech-support call.
    Allt this might just be a way to put makeup on an ugly and unchangeable situation, but, since you've already invested so much effort, why not give it one more try by depositing your investment on the highest-level person's desk?

  • [CS4] Word Import severely broken

    (Not a question, rather an observation...)
    The Word import has gone from already rather bad to worse with one of the upgrade patches. Two major nuisances that don't seem to have been present from the initial version (based on "we'd surely have noticed this earlier"; they also are definitely not present in CS3!):
    Random paragraphs are cut off at the end, continuing on the same line with the next paragraph. The cut-off part appears at the very end of the imported text -- including its hard return. So when I see some stray words at the end I know I have to scan the entire document by eye to find where they came from. Entirely random -- reading a same file twice, or on a different computer or platform, will have the same error but on a different place.
    Importing a Word document no longer reads text point size correctly. Sometimes entire paragraphs are in the wrong point size -- at random, not simply using the wrong style or something like that. This is extremely bad, as my firm relies on point size for proper automated formatting.
    Rather random -- some paragraphs will be wrong on other computers, some are wrong at random.
    This is not limited to one platform; all our computers, Mac and Windows, Leopard, Snow Leopard as well as XP (SP3) will all import a certain file with these errors. Of course all systems are fully patched up to 6.0.4.
    It's also not limited to .doc files. Saving the file as .rtf has the exact same symptoms: in Word, all is fine & dandy, in CS4 the text and formatting gets garbled.
    A working kludge is to import suspicious documents into CS3, save, open in CS4 and go from there. Hardly a solution.

    [Jongware] wrote:
    I found that a troublesome document keeps being troublesome ... saved as .doc, rtf, or docx. At any time, something or the other goes wrong with the very same document: cut off bits and pieces of text, footnotes that go haywire, formatting out of whack, text cut off immediately following a table ... And so on. So as soon as I see it happen on a particular doc, I import it into CS3, save, open that in CS4 and copy the text out of it. No problem anymore.
    I filed a bug report to Adobe Tech services. Sent one of my Word docs with it, along with a CS4 file showing the problem of bits of text coming in at the end. They went over those files for a week and reported back "The change in text runs is because (a) the page size and margins of your Word file do not match that of your InDesign file, and (b) because of different layout and formatting options, the text may not run the same even if so." That made me laugh. Until I cried.
    Thanks for the CS3 solution.
    The mismatched margins issue sounds bogus to me. If stuff shows up at the end of file, out of sequence, it's most likely because the particular version of Word in which the original file was created got confused about managing incremental edits, and the file was "fast saved," which keeps the file content and changes in chronological order of creation, and uses pointers to mark what's added and what's to be deleted or ignored. Some versions of Word were so bad at this that even Word itself couldn't interpret the mishmash when opening a fast-saved file of its own.
    A good practice that I don't recall seeing mentioned on these forums is, if possible, to make sure to save the Word file to a new name in Word, before converting or placing it in InDesign. Just as InDesign does, saving to a new name reorders the file content and cleans out the spaghetti pointers. I believe that InDesign's spaghetti doesn't go bad so often as Word's, but it's always a good idea to save to a new name periodically. It's possible that some problems that affect exchanging INX files are related to the reliance on pointers to keep a file in order.

  • Copy text from Word '03 into RH9

    I need to copy text from Word into RH in a way that does not bring in the Word codes.  I can obviously copy the text into notepad and then into RH, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it that would be similar to the "Paste Special / Unformatted Text" command in Word? 
    We cannot have the word codes in RH because we translate our user manuals and then use the translated UM text to gain discounts when we translated the html help files.  These codes throw off the matching and cause us to gain hardly any discounts.  Even simple formatting, like a bolded word puts in the word codes into the html code. I made the mistake of thinking if I unbold the word in RH then everything is fine, but little did I know the Word code was still in the HTML. 
    I appreciate your help.
    Also, I am open to suggestions on a better way to get my Word text into RH to be help.  I've started looking into Importing and Linking, but haven't figured out if they would be all that beneficial to us.

  • Transferring text from Word

    I have a Word file with 65 pages of text that is formatted with Word styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, and son on) in outline form. I need to transfer this information to Keynote. Any ideas?

    If you have PowerPoint, you might try using it to import the Word file, and then open the saved result in Keynote. PowerPoint will do its best to respect the styles, and Keynote will do its best to preserve the PowerPoint formatting.

  • How can I convert 300 pages of Text to a PDF?

    acrobat pro can save pdfs to word documents.
    how would you load what, that's located where onto a computer that's not online and is what relationship to the file that's to be loaded?
    no, you wouldn't necessarily lose pdf formatting when converting to a word document.  i'm not sure you'll be able to edit everything in word, though.
