Rotating tables in Pages 5 (iWork '13)

I am using Pages 5.0.1 and I need to rotate a table. Apparently, you could rotate a table in Pages '09 by selecting "floating table". In Pages 5.0.1 Rotate is greyed out.

Hi Peter,
The top table in the screen shot of Pages 5.0.1 is the live table. The second table is a static image of the same table, which can be rotated. To produce an image of the table:
Select the table and Command-C.
Switch to Preview.app and Command-N, Command-C.
Switch back to Pages and Command-V.
At this point you have the real table and the image of the table. If you think you will need to edit the real table, duplicate your document for later use from this point. Delete the table and rotate the image.

How do I rotate tables in Pages 2014 on Yosemite?

Hi! I've been working on my thesis on Pages 09 and it worked really great! I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina and switched to the new iWork... There are a few features that I used in Pages 09 that now are missing like 'two up' view and the possibility to rotate tables. Does anyone know how can one rotate a table to 90 degrees in the new version of Pages?
Thanks!

Have you updated to iWork '09 v4.3?

Rotating Tables in Pages 09

I need to add a Table in Landscape Mode in a Pages Document whose pages are all in Portrait mode. I did a crude attempt by doing the Table in Landscape mode and then using Grab to create a tiff image, which I then inserted into my document. The only problem is that the text is not very sharp compared with the normal text in the pages document.
I can's believe this is an abnormal requirement, as you can rotate Images and Text so why not Tables.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

You believe wrongly.
At least at this time, the tables which are spreadsheets structures can't be rotated.
You may ask thru the dedicated channel :
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11
I just add that I guess that this tables feature will not change.
A clever workaround is to print the table in a PDF document,
crop it to keep only the table
rotate it to fit your needs
Insert it in Pages.
The result will be better than a TIFF screenshot.

Rotating Graphs in Pages 5.0?

Hi guys.
I need to rotate a chart for my physics lab report (scatter graph made in Numbers 3.0), and this was available in the previous version of Pages, but in the new version, it doesn't seem to be available. Could anyone help me out with this? Just to check if the rotating option was completely gone so I tried with an image file and it works, so I am guessing it's just with the graphs that you cannot rotate.
While I am asking my question, I would also like to know if you can refresh graphs and charts as you were able to back in the '09 versions of Pages and Numbers?
Honestly I feel frustrated with the new version of Pages almost everyday. It was a decent word processor but I cannot possibly understand why Apple had to intentionally take all the good features out and make it harder to use
Although I am extremely satisfied with the new version of Keynote, the Pages and Numbers update were both horrible.

Tables don't rotate either.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
If you are unhappy with Pages 5, trash or archive it and rate/review it in the App Store.

Table in pages need text in a column to carryover to next page.

I created a table in pages and as I type, I have exceeded the length of the column. The text is hidden, how do I get it to carry over to the next page. I tired "insert" but the split column option is not available........ thank you

Problem described and answered several times.
A cell can't cross pages boundaries.

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Copy-paste of a chart or table in new iWork creates a low resolution raster rather than a vector

In iWork '09 I regularly copied charts, tables, etc. from iWork applications to other applications. They were in vector format. For instance, I have made a chart in Numbers, copied it, and pasted in Preview. This resulted in a vector which I saved to PDF, everything in less than 5 seconds.
It seems that in the new iWork this is not possible anymore, because the result is a low-resolution raster, which totally broke my workflows.
Is this an "enhacement" of the new iWork or I am missing something?

Hi Badunit,
A possible explanation for our discrepency:
If I copy an entire page from a vector pdf using the thumnails bar in preview and paste that page into keynote, the image is a raster.
If I select a portion of that page with the preview selection tool, copy, and paste into keynote, the image is a vector.
This issue is especially damaging because I can't drag and drop pdf files I create into keynote. Major bugs have been introduced with regards to vector images, and I'm unable to identify a single rule characterizing this process. This is a disaster as I've relied on keynote as a longterm storage and organization tool for many vector images. Many of these images have now been corrupted in what I assume is an irreversible process.

Embedded/linked numbers tables in pages?

Can I copy and paste numbers tables into pages documents, but embed them like Word, so when I update the table in numbers, it updates in the pages document? Cant find any instructions or tips!!

If you had iWork 09 before upgrading the apps should still be in applications/iwork 09 folder.

Tables in Pages'06 - some doesn't make sense

Hi all,
I bought recently iWork'06 for my first time ever. After hangig around with M$Word, I focused on Pages. So I gave it a try.
However, I got some issues about tables in Pages.
1. You place a table in your document,in an formatted area (style-assigned area), on error oh my good (only font-formated and list-formated). Try to change the width of an 2-column-table... You need to clear the whole thing an restart with an unformated/non-styled area... It happend to me today.
2. Why is the styling for a table, i.e border-style and boder-color, in the grafics-related menu? It'd be better for the workflow if it's there where it belong to, in the table-menu!
cheers

As with border (stroke) colors, fills and other
graphic-related items, duplicate resources? You will
find text in the tables are manipulated in the text
inspector so why not graphic related items in the
graphics inspector?
Because, in my opinion, a table is not "really" a graphic element. I can select each column or an entire row, what then? I need to go to another menu to select, if I want a border or not.
Ok, probably it's all a bit unlikely or new for me, and I need to play around a bit more to get the Pages workflow around...

Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels?

Can tables in Pages 5.5.1 be set up to fit Avery labels? I've tried to adjust the margins and the cells to sizes listed on the package, but I can't get them to fit properly. Also, when I try to copy information (return address with three lines of data) from one cell to another to fill in the page, the information ends up with one line each in three different cells. How do I keep it all together?

I'm sure it can be done in Pages but I find it easier to use the Mac version of Avery Design & Print software which can be downloaded free from http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m
It will import information saved in Excel or csv formats which you can do from Numbers or other spreadsheet software.

Using tables in Pages 5.1

Using tables in Pages 5.1 is a pain in the neck. When I create a full page table the mobility arrows disappear into the space above the page and effectively become inaccessible. I personally don't understand the need for this function and wish the designers would remove it as it really slows down productivity.
I've tried to increase the size of the window around the pages document but only the sides and bottom allow for this to happen. The top border automatically aligns with the top of the window and I can't figure out how to seperate them..
Does anyone know how to divorce the top of the document from the window? Or know of any other ways to work with full-page tables in pages?
Many thanks

Trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 09.

Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
Any idea?

You are right with floating / inline.
But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...

Can't add rows to a table in Pages 5.1

I started my table in Numbers but it defaults to huge margins top bottom and on the sides so I can't get much on one page and it won't let you change the margins - one of the huge advantages Excel has. So I copied and pasted part of my table into Pages which does allow you to change the page margins. When I tried to paste or add more rows into that Pages document, the cells below row 120 remain black. Whats keeping me from seeing or working with more rows at the bottom of this table in Pages?

Hank,
The previous version of Numbers had the ability to manage margins, and to view the margins while editing the content. This version, 2.3, is still available.
Whenever you paste a table into Pages, or when you insert one, you must be aware of what part of the document it is in. If it Moves with Text (formerly known as Inline), it will flow from page to page. If the table Stays on Page (formerly known as Floating), the table will run off the bottom of the page and the lower portion will not be displayed.

Why are TypeKit fonts not displaying correctly in Pages (iWork)?

I have just subscribed to TypeKit and am experiencing highly peculiar behavior from the two fonts I’m using in Pages (iWork): Basically, fonts in my document don’t respond appropriately to requested changes in style. For example, if I increase the point size by one point using the the formatting commands built into Pages, the font drops a point size. I’ve had the same experience using the kerning command, where the kerning decreases when I have set it to increase. (So far, the only fonts I’ve been using have been Futura PT and Proxima Nova.)
Look at the example in the screenshot: “FEATURED EXPERT” on the top line shows in Pages as being 24pt Futura PT Book. However, “SOLO,” a few lines down, which is definitely displaying as smaller, shows as 25pt Futura PT
In a potentially related issue, when I reopened this same document today, text boxes were suddenly too small for the text (again in Futura PT and Proxima Nova). It was as though Pages was suddenly reading those two fonts differently.
I have had no issues with other (non-TypeKit) fonts in the same document.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Any suggested fixes? I'm reluctant to unsync/resync the two affected fonts (the only ones I have sync'd to date) because I don't want to wreck the document!

Thanks, Christopher. After I posted my original question, I did come to realize that it was Helvetica not Future PT showing. Here’s what happened, and here’s why I still need some guidance…
The document dropped Future PT because when my wifi signal dropped, the Creative Cloud app displayed this error symbol (see graphic) in my menu bar.
At that point, my computer could no longer access my TypeKit fonts and the document reverted to the system's Helvetica default.
This was not an isolated incident.
If I turn wifi off manually, there is no issue and CC continues to operate in the background as it should, with TypeKit fonts still available.
However, if the wifi drops out on its own, I get the above error symbol and I then lose access to my TypeKit fonts. Very rarely, the CC app will self-correct when the signal is restored. More often than not, I must quit the CC app and relaunch it in order to get things back to normal.
This doesn’t strike me as normal behavior Have you ever encountered anything like it? Do you know of a fix that will allow the CC app to self-correct when the wifi signal is restored?
Any assistance will be appreciated!
Thanks!
P.S. TypeKit troubleshooting doesn’t address this particular issue.
