Sending a long document

I have no idea where to ask this question, so I'm doing so here. And, this is probably a stupid question with an obvious answer.
I have to email a 4+ MB document to some non-Mac people. The document is currently in .rtf in Word 2004.
If I simply make the document an attachment keeping it in .rtf, can someone on a PC running Word (who knows what version) open it and see it with my formatting as I have it? Word says .rtf can be read and interpreted by PCs but I don't know how much formatting it keeps and how much it looses - I have used only hard return for paragraphs, bold, some foreign letter accent marks and no other fancy formatting.
OR should I save it as a Word document - my 2004 Word says it will be compatible with Word 97 - 2003 for Windows?
OR send it both ways and see what works for them?
Mrs H

Boy are you fast!
I'm sending the paper to India, to a hotmail addy. I've sent photo files to this addy that were larger than this with no problems - but is jpg a different matter?
I'm not sure the recipient would know what to do with a zipped file (nor would I know how to make one, I don't have a current Stuffit, just my old one from OS 9 and that archiving thing - Unarchiver - that either you or Klaus sent me to.)
Perhaps sending it as 2 separate attachments to 2 separate emails?
I don't want to make things difficult for them at the other end.
Mrs H
PS Did you see my final (really final after the last final...) on the import thread on another quirk in the process?

Pages 3.0 crashes opening a long document

Hi there,
I am running Pages 3.0 (with all current updates) on an iMac with Os 10.5.7 and 2 Gb of RAM. I have a very long document (almost 200 pages) with pictures and tables that worked fine until yesterday.
I usually make a backup copy of the file every evening just to be sure, however...... it seems that it's not enough!!
This morning a double click on the document leads to a Pages 3.0 crash. The application launches, a dialog box indicating a progress bar appears ("Opening") and then Pages quits.
The same happens if I try to open the backup copy! I am stuck and I can't access the file!!!!!!!!!
Disk utility says the the hard disk is OK (and so are the privileges).
What can I do?? I can't even export the file in Word as it crashes before I can convert him. By the way, the same happens on another Mac: it really seems that the document is now corrupted (without doing anything special...).
The funny thing, is that Quicklook works just fine: if I hit the space bar from the Finder, I can see the content perfectly.
What is going on???
Thanks for your help!

Simple:
The Index.xml file is no longer readable by Pages but as you saved a preview in the document this Preview.pdf file is readable.
(1) rename your doc from xx.pages to xx.pages.zip then double click.
You will get a package entitled "xx.pages"
control click it to see its contents.
In the folder Conent:Quickloock, you will get the Preview.pdf file.
(2) it would be interesting to send the document to my mail box so I would be able to add it to the set of corrupted documents which I already send to Apple Bugs Hunters to help them idntify the wrongdoers. Click my blue name to get my address.
(3) duplicating the last saved copy is good practice but it's not a true safe protocol.
If the last saved one is odd (like yours) the duplicate will be odd too.
This is why I wrote an Autosave tool which saves every ten minutes but which also keeps chronological date stamped zipped copies.
With it, if the copy saved at time X is bad, we may hope that the one saved at X-10 is OK.

Showing text overflow in a long document

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a long document. I want to send a proof to a publisher, but a few pages contain too much text for the layout I created. I want to send the document as is, in pdf form, but want to show how much text cannot fit in these textboxes.
I thought of using a slug to show this, but would be cumbersome on the pages that don't have overflow. I thought about making notes, but I can't figure out how to get them to print.
Any idea's on how to show this text would be appreciated!
Thank you!

export it with enough slug, then in Acrobat crop the pages you dont want with slug.

Scrolling long documents

I have a book manuscript that has reached 542 pages. When I'm scrolling later pages (in the 400+ area), the preceding page will vanish in favor of the upcoming page. Instead of seeing the end of one, the margin, the little between-space, and then the next page, it's just an entire area of background gray and the beginning of the next page. The further down I am in the manuscript, the greater the lag.
I like Pages a lot, but is this one of those instances where its focus on page-layout shows its weakness with long documents of "pure" writing? I don't want to switch to Nisus or back to Word (shudder); this is the first book I've finished, and that's partly because Pages is so uncluttered.
Reducing the number of pages by shrinking the font and fiddling with spacing and margins reduces the effect; changing the view doesn't seem to. But I have to have it at 12-point Courier / double spaced for printing anyway, so I wish I could edit without having to change its formatting and reduce its number of pages. Maybe I need a sort of "draft" mode.

First, as a novelist myself, I think you're nuts to keep all 500 pages of an important work in a single document. Oh, wait, I do it too. Well, 300 pages, anyway. I didn't used to, not with Word.
Second, I do not think that 1 gig of RAM is "fairly" low.
Third, Nisus is a fine program, but one of the advantages for me of Pages is that it is compatible with Word's track changes, which my publisher used to send back edits.
Four, I'd look at other programs or extensions (or whatever they are called in OS X) that might be causing the scrolling problem with Pages.
Five, unless you're happy with Nisus....

I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc. I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic. Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages? thanks

I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture. If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender? Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it. I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
thanks,

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

I would like to send a Pages document to a client who can then manipulate and change the file. How can I do that with OSX 10.6.8?

Can I send a Pages document to a client who can then manipulate or change them on their end?

You can export the Pages document to Word or text instead of Pages but I advise you to first save the document in the native Pages format. Still best is if you reciever get the applicationif you are going to do a lot of editing on documents.
About setting the computer etc. I don't know what the person was thinking off.

Removing extra spaces from a long document

Hello
I have seen a number of find/change and GREP formulas to do similar things. I have NO scripting or coding experience and have labored to understand GREP.
So I am a little afraid to use it as I don't know what all the modifiers refer to (I do have a printout of some neat GREP cheatsheets like Mike Witherell's that I can absorb until I obtain a good reference )
I need something I can copy and paste into either find/change or GREP dialog that will do the following in less than 12 steps (hopefully) without doing something catastrophic like removing all of my paragraph marks (which I almost did using someones GREP expression)
No spaces before any comma, period, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semicolon
One space only after any of those
One Space before any opening parenthesis and one space after the closing parenthesis
No space after the opening parenthesis or before the closing parenthesis
Remove any double or extra spaces ( en, em etc.)
Remove any commas before parentheses
Remove any spaces after a paragraph mark
I think that's it
I did find this one recently (Maybe Jongware?)
[~m~>~f~|~S~s<~/~,~3~4%]{2
Which from my dim understanding addresses em, en, flush and hair space , nonbreaking space ,figure space,third space--not sure of the rest. Really this is way over my head.
I know this will be a piece of cake for you guys
Thanks

A: Removing extra spaces from a long document

Peter is too modest, he's doing just great.
No space BEFORE-One Space after ---period,semicolon,colon, exclamation, question mark,CLOSING Parenth,Bracket,Brace, single & Dbl. quotation marks
Find (\s)([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]])
Replace with $2
No space AFTER-One Space Before----OPENING bracket,brace,parenthesis,Dbl & single quotes
Find ([\[\{$~{~[])(\s)
Replace with $1
These remove the space before/after but do not automatically add a space after/before.
In the first case, you could add a space right after the '$2' in the Replace With string, but it already may have a space, in which case you suddenly have two. One alternative is to optionally remove it with the Find string (add it as an optional match) and always add it with the Replace string, but remember that this string will only be found if there is a space preceding it. That way you'd only check the space after in cases where there was a bad space before.
So I propose you add another two find/changes to add the space, only when necessary.
One Space After: find
([.,;:!$\]\}~}~]])(?!\s)
replace:
$0 [followed by one single space]
One Space Before: find
(?<!\s)([\[\{$~{~[])
replace:
[one single space] $0
Color-coding with my WhatTheGrep might make it just a tad clearer what's going on in that jumble of codes:
(1 [ .,;:! $ \] \} ~} ~] ] 1) (?!! \s !)
and
(?<!<! \s <!) (1 [ \[ \{ \( ~{ ~[ ] 1)

I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.

I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.
The message is : Either there is not default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
I have checked everywhere on my system and changed Microsoft Outlook as the default mail program but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any ideas?

I am having the same issue, just replied to a different post on the issue. I am running Acrobat X Pro with Win 7 Pro 64-bit. This is a new PC, but my last PC was a 32-bit OS and I didn't have this issue. I was suspecting that it is due to the 64-bit OS.
Reading this post though, I am starting to wonder if there isn't something else going on. When I go to Edit>Preferences, I don't have anything related to email under Categories, or even within any of the categories listed. I am I missing a plug in or something? Or is this a component of a previous version of Acrobat?
I tried to attach a screenshot of the error message but getting a new error while trying to attach! File is only 25kb! Will have to live without i guess.

Sending a text document as pdf by email.

Hi,
I have a plain text document that needs to be send as a pdf document by email. The line type of the text document is PC408-linda, which is 132-character length. I am trying to use the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending the document which uses structure SOLISTI1 for sending the document. The line size of SOLISTI1 is 256 characters. I tried to send 132-character length internal table instead of the given structure for the FM, it didnt work. Later, I put the 132-charcter line into the 256-character length line, which works well. But, I have a problem when the outgoing system converts the 256-character length into pdf document. It breaks the line.
Can you please suggest me how can I fit this 132-chracter line in the above FM or Is there any alaternateive FM for sending this 132-character lines, which will fit in the pdf format.

How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
I have a large 200 page book. The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc. This will be a nightmare. Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

john the link is broken
I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
The link is now fixed.
You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

Are you opening the input stream or querying the reply headers after writing to the output stream? It's doing one or the other that actually triggers the send.

Sending a Pages document as an email but not an email attachmentt

using iwork '08 and a pages newsletter template, is there a way to send a pages document as an email without making it an attachment? for business a newsletter is better for clients if it arrives in the email as the body of the email instead as in the form of an attachment. how is that possible with Pages?

Hi J,
Copy the contents of the Pages document and Paste into the body of the email. Try this and see if the formatting remains satisfactory.

Ian.
