Please help! Problems posting chart from Numbers into Pages

Hello
I've come across a strange problem, and I'm sure I'm missing some simple trick.
I have created a chart in Numbers, it looks nice, and crisper than the equivalent Excel diagram. However, when I paste it into Pages, I can't resize it! It seems to preserve the fonts that I specified in Numbers, and so it doesn't become smaller. And I can't see any way of reducing the font size in this chart. And it doesn't resize nicely when I drag the box corner in Numbers.
The thing is, it's really quite straightforward to create a chart in Excel, and then copy it into Pages, and it resizes and everything with no problems.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to what I should be doing, please? I'm using the 09 versions.

I suggest you experiment.
It sounds as if you will be satisfied with a simple graphic version of the chart, however I tested my recommendation and there are bugs in what gets saved, some of the text of the labels is lost and the legend gets rearranged.
It may be necessary to print the entire Numbers sheet to .pdf and crop that down to the graph.
The 2nd method of copying over the actual chart to Pages works quite well and the data appears in the linked data in Pages. Just make sure to create the linkage from Numbers to first save the Numbers document before copying and pasting the chart into Pages.
A black tag will appear on the chart when you select it. The circled arrows in the tag allow you to update the chart from updated (and saved) data in the original Numbers chart. There is also an option in the tag to unlink the chart and make it solely a Pages chart.
As to text not resizing in Pages, this is generally so in grouped objects. Pages will resize all the graphical parts of a grouped set of objects but keep the fonts at the same point size. This can either be a good or bad thing depending on your viewpoint. Personally my view is that everything should scale as expected.
In a live chart you can click on each part including the fonts and change their appearance and formatting directly, using the usual methods.

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.

Script to merge data from Numbers into Pages document, export as PDF and send via email

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to achieve the following with an applescript:
1. Merge Names from Numbers into a multi-page Pages document.
2. Export each page of the resulting document as a PDF
3. Attach each of these PDFs to an email with specific text in the body of the email, setting the subject, the 'from' email address, as well as the 'to' email address from a field in the Numbers document.
4. Optionally send the emails automatically.
I would be glad to know if this is possible before I embark on trying to write such a script, and for any advice/script that would help me on my way.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks Bernard. Sorry if my original post wasn't that clear. I think you've pretty much got it in your paragraph starting "So, I think you're asking for", but will explain more in the hope that it will be clearer:
I have a Numbers table with 2 columns: Name and Email. I have say 50 people in this table and I need to email each person a version of a one page Pages document which would be identical except for their name.
The Name field is the only field that needs to be merged into the Pages document (one time only).
Once the merging has taken place the versions of the one page Pages document need to be exported as a PDF and attached to emails, one email from each person in the table in the Numbers document, with each email going to the email address corresponding to the name in the Numbers document.
The text in the email would be identical except for the name again. The text for the email body, subject as well as the 'from' field would be contained in the script (i.e. generated by the script).
It would also be good to have the option of sending the emails automatically or manually, so that I could check that the emails that are generated are correct before sending.
I hope that's clearer!

Cannot drag charts from Numbers into Keynote

I have created charts in Numbers, but I cannot get them into Keynote. I have tried dragging and dropping, but they will not leave the Numbers screen. I have tried copying (or cutting) and pasting, but it does not work either.
I really need to move some things over. Any help?
Thanks so much!

Hello
At this time, I am unable to identify the wrongdoer.
What are you exactly copying from Numbers?
I copied the chart when its handles where displayed.
After copying, enter the Finder and select the menu item Edit > Show Clipboard.
If it correctly display the chart, it's that the Copy process was correctly done.
Enter Keynote.
Go to Edit menu.
If the Paste item is greyed, it's that something is odd or that the Presentation is not in Edit mode.
If it is in Edit mode, close/quit the program.
Trash its preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Keynote.pli st
Empty the trash
restart the program.
I hope that this time it will behaves flawlessly.

Trying to link a chart from Numbers to Pages

"To update a linked chart in Keynote or Pages:
Make sure that the Numbers spreadsheet containing the updated chart is saved. In Keynote or Pages, select the chart and click the Refresh button."
Where is the Refresh button, please? It may be really obvious but I can't find it. Thanks

Hi procrastina,
fruhulda's comments motivated me try this. Please follow this from the Pages'09 User Guide:
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 Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, 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 Pages.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Repeat,
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Then you will see the Refresh buttton (recycle arrows to the right of your chart in Pages):

P.S. In Australia and UK, we call that a graph, not a chart.

OS 10.6 - Please help - problem restoring system from time machine!

Hi there,
Today I installed a little program to convert flac audio files to mp3. When I ran the program the computer froze, so I rebooted but then I could move the cursor but not click on any menus or icons on the desktop, they just wouldnt respond - so basically I couldnt use the computer. After re-booting a few times with the same result I decided to reinstall the system using time machine from an external hard drive. I reinstalled OSX, then reinstalled Snow Leopard, then reinstalled the system from a previous save from Time Machine. It said the installation was successful, but when the computer restarted a message comes up saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again". Ive done this about 5 times now but it always just says the same message without starting properly. WHAT DO I DO???? I really need to use my computer tomorrow so any help is hugely appreciated!!! TIA
PS. i have done a hardware test in "loop mode" and it says everything is fine

how exactly did you reinstall the system from TM? please give details. the correct way to do it is to boot from the snow leopard DVD and use the "restore system from backup" utility in the Utilities menu. there is no need to reinstall anything prior to using that utility. the restore utility wipes your hard drive and restores it to the state it was in at the backup time.

How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
Somebody with an idea?
Thanks for your help!

To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

Take a screenshot of the chart and use that in Keynote, if you can't find another way.

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

It's easier enough. Just use the DBMS_RANDOM package supplied by Oracle.

6                                 , sysdate + dbms_random.value(1,1000));

8 END;
