Pasting tables in from Numbers on Mac

For about the past six months I have been saving to upgrade
my licensed Windows version of Studio MX2004 because Adobe refuse
to give me a crossgrade now that I am on Mac. On Windows I could
easily copy a selection from an Excel spreadsheet and paste it into
Dreamweaver, this was a weekly task that I had to do and saved me a
lot of time.
I've just installed a trial of the latest Dreamweaver hoping
to copy a selection from a Numbers spreadsheet and I have found
that this apparently much more advanced version can do no better
than a bog standard free text editor. I saved about 30 minutes each
week compared to now using Dreamweaver MX2004, now I have to type
in every cell of the table every week one cell at a time.
If anyone knows how to paste in a table, can you let me know?
I hope the only option is not to have to spend hundreds of
pounds buying Microsoft Office 2008 which I otherwise do not need.
Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure Open Office will do what you want - the
spreadsheet app
is called Calc which can open and save a variety of files
including your
old excel files - you can cut and paste into DW.

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

Hello,
I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
Thanks,
Pedro

Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

How do i copy and paste selected rows from numbers to another numbers worksheet

I have asked this question before, but it sounds as if numbers did not have the update at that time. I have pasted a spreadsheet from excel into numbers. I would now like to take selected rows, for example, row 5, row 9, row 22, row 27, etc, copy these entire rows, and pastte into another blank numbers work sheet. In excel, one can hold down the ctrl key, and click on each row they want to copy, and all will be copied in one operation, Than you can paste into a new excel work sheet. I have tried this on my ipad 2 many times, holding down the command key, and tapping on each row I want to copy. I just cannot get this to work. Please let me know how to do this, if numbers even has this possible. Thanks.

I have tried this on my ipad 2 many times, holding down the command key, and tapping on each row I want to copy.
Command Key.... on ipad? Ddint know there was one.
As for copying non-continuous ranges, cannot be done on ipad at this time. On a desktop maybe, but i cannot test it right now.
Each row can be done individually, or you could sort the rows to grab the range you want. To do this (espeically if there is nothing that is unique about them), just make a new column and place a 1 in the cell for each row you want to copy, sort. That will place all your rows together and enable you to copy.paste them back out.
If you want to preserve the original sort order, make another column (I usually use A for this) and put in =ROW() as the equation. Fill it down for the whole table and copy/paste values over it. now after you do any kind of sorting, you can always return the list to the original sort order.

Chart pasted into Keynote (from Numbers) won't update. Please help.....

When i copy a chart from Numbers 09 and paste into Keynote 09, it won't update (if i make a change in Numbers). It's the same problem if i try and paste a chart into Pages also. Any advice (i've tried the usual solutions)???

This is the procedure for charts:
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Keynote
presentation. After it’s been pasted into Keynote, the chart remains linked to the data
tables it references in Numbers.
To change the chart data, open the original Numbers
document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the
chart data in Keynote.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its data in its linked Numbers table:
mm Select the chart on the slide canvas and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart
into your Keynote presentation and after editing the Numbers data tables that the
chart references.

How to paste calculated values from Numbers?

When I copy calculated values from Numbers and paste into a table in Pages, I get an image like the one below. Non calculated values paste fine.
To get around this issue, I paste the calculated values into TextWrangler, then copy from there and paste into Pages. Is there a way to go directly from Numbers to Pages with calculated values?

Hi 4th Space,
I you are pasting into a table in Pages, follow Jeffs instructions.
I you are not pasting into a table, this works. Copy the cells in Numbers. Go to your Pages document and under the Edit Menu > Paste and Match Style. It works like Paste Values.

Unable to paste table content from firefox to thunderbird mail. remain blank

Hi,
I am trying to copy a table content from mozila webpage to a new mail in thunderbird. Some times, it pastes normally without any fail. But server time, when I paste it, nothing comes up and the mail shows only blank space.
I have tried to re install and re configure thunderbird but still issue persist.

You need to understand that all the formatting available in other specialist programs like Excel may not necessariy display using exactly the same formatting in a html email.
Plus if people use Plain Text then all formatting is stripped anyway, so you cannot guarrantee how the email will look for the recipient.
Options:
You could highlight the section in excel, right click select Copy.
Then in Thunderbird new Write message. Right click in text area and select 'Paste'.
But be aware of potential formatting issues.
This is why emails have the facility to attach documents. So the recipient can read the data using the correct application and also be able to detach documents from emails and save separarely.
So you could save the excel document and attach it to the email.
When using simple tables to show data, it is best to create them using the one provided in Thunderbird via Insert > Table or Formatting Bar option.
attach image:
If you want to take a snapshot of the Excel page.
Select the excel window to get focus and use the 'Alt' +'Prt scr' keys.
Open eg: 'Paint' then Paste into 'Paint', then save as jpg.
Then attach the saved image to the email.
In new Write mesage:
click on 'Attach'
locate and select the jpg image and click on 'Open',

How do I keep table relations from Numbers when copying them to Pages ?

I have two tables within Numbers (because I need two different formats) and have connected them with a formula in Numbers. This works fine.
But when I copy the two tables to a Pages document, the link between the tables is broken, i.e. if I modify a value in table 1, the corresponding value in table 2 is not modified.
What can I do to keep the link between the tables inside Pages ?
Bernhard

Question asked and answered many times.
There is no link between tables in Pages.
Build your complete document in a Numbers Sheet and the problem will be solved.

Unable to refresh spreadsheet pasted into pages from numbers

Hi. I'm building a business plan using pages and as we paste the financials into the pages document, I am not able to refresh the spreadsheet in pages when it is changed and saved in numbers. In the help tab and on the forums a "refresh" button is referred to but I can't find it. Some other notes. I seem to have built the plan in "word processor" in pages instead of in "page layout." Can't tell the distinction between the two. Also, I'm taking a full budget in numbers and hiding most of the cells before pasting into pages. Having this capability work as "advertised" would be a huge time saver.
Thanks.

I'll tackle one part of your questions:
*Word Processing mode:* The document has a default area of text inside the set margins. Text fills this area and flows from page to page as needed. The pages form with the text, expanding and retreating with the tide of text within. This text can be indexed in the T.O.C. and may have footnotes. WP mode also has background and master objects which appear on each page and can be deleted from those pages at one stroke.
*Layout Mode:* The document consists of nothing but individual unconnected pages. Everything on those pages is a floating individual object, with the exception of headers and footers. Text can be linked between textboxes (WP can do this too) by manually linking them, even across pages. Layout mode is much more restricted than WP but simplifies designs by removing some of the clutter.
You can not simply turn one mode into the other. But you can copy/paste text and objects between them.

Copying from numbers to prism causes Prism to crash

Can anyone tell me how to convert back to the previous version of number? As now I can not copy and paste from numbers into prism as it crashes, as does the excel for mac so now its impossible to do work as I have to hand type all the numbers into prism.

Ok, I'm having a little trouble reconciling this statement in your original post:
as does the excel for mac
with this in your latest post:
its not copying between numbers and excel that's the problem
If you are in fact able to copy-paste into Excel from Numbers 3 than you should be able to copy-paste into Prism too.
It seems very likely there's something specific in your dataset that needs correcting anyway. It's much less likely that this is a Numbers 2 vs Numbers 3 issue, assuming you have the latest version of Numbers 3 (3.2).

How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body. I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data. I have the table in numbers and excel.
When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing. The table appears to end at the end of the page.
I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
Its holding me back...
Any ideas?

Hello Loquitir,
I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
I hope I am clear in what I am describing.
Regards,
Nigel

Pasting tables from Mac TextEdit to InDesign CS4

Hi,
The thread title says it all, really.
Can you paste tables from Mac's TextEdit to InDesign CS4?

Pasting table content will paste as tabbed text. You can place (cmd+d) RTF (not RTFD) and maintain tables.
You will lose custom strokes and a few other formatting elements, but overall placing tables will preserve the integrity of them as you find them in text edit.

How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

How can I paste a part of a sheet from Numbers in Pages as text, without the formulas.The reason I need this (and was used to in Office) so that I have the freedom to delete something in one cell (in pages document) without causing changes.

How can I paste a part of a sheet that I copied in Numers in a pages document without the formulas, simply as text. Used this a lot in Office. When I make some changes in the pages document. f.i. deleting a cell, I don't want to change other cells. Also when I copy a part of a sheet from Numbers and one of the cells that is part of the formula is not also copied, when I paste in Pages it shows as an error.
Hope that You can me help with this.

Leon,
There are two solutions to the first question, narrowing to one solution when you have a broken link causing an error.
Here's the "works always" solution.
Copy (Command-C) the table or range in Numbers
Click off the table on the blank canvas of the sheet.
Edit > Paste Values
Command-C
Switch to Pages
Command-V
Regards,
Jerry

Download iWork documents from iCloud to Mac in Pages 5.0 and Numbers 3.0

Does anyone know how to download iWork documents from iCloud to Mac, most specifically from Pages 5.0 and Numbers 3.0. It seems that Apple have taken away the ability to do so, as in the past I believe there was a download button... All I am trying to do is download the document to attach and send via Gmail.
Extremely frustrating as I can't find any discussion surrounding this problem.

Have you tried right-clicking the document to get an option to download it.
