Stuck Between Word an Iwork

with the current Word discounts and a fifty dollar discount I have there is a 20 dollar diferance between word and iwork. I am having trouble deciding which to get. My main problem is all my documents must be in .doc when completed, meaning that word is better, but it is not universal yet so I can't decide. Anythoughts? Mainly how good is Iwork .doc exporting?

If the final format of your documents has to be .doc, then I think it would be foolish not to get Word. While I use Pages almost every day, and greatly prefer it to Word, it will never be able to convert its native format into Word perfectly accurately, and if you are limited to full Word compatibility, that will likely eliminate many of the cool capabilities of Pages.
I wouldn't worry at all about Word not being a universal app. Its performance is fine under Rosetta -- word processors are really not that demanding on the hardware.

  • Stuck between letters & Freezing

    I've had my iPod for almost two years (Aug). It's always been in a case, never dropped, has its own compartment in my purse or book bag, in other words, it's been treated well.
    A problem I noticed a few months ago was that when scrolling through songs, my iPod will be stuck between letters - jump from, say, M to T and won't go anywhere else. I have to reset the iPod and try again, but it happens quite frequently now.
    The other problem that just started up a week ago is that my iPod will freeze between changing songs. It will go to the new song and at 00:00, freeze so I can't turn it off, change songs, resetting doesn't even always work. And the hold button is not on.
    I bought the extended protection plan when I bought my iPod, but that is up in August so I'm wondering if I should just send it in. Ideas?

    Restore the iPod.
    Select it in iTunes, then click Restore.

  • IDCS5/MAC - GREP Style to uppercase a letter after a dash between words

    G'day there.
    I'm trying to create a GREP style to uppercase a letter after a dash between words, more specifically where one word starts with a capital and the one after a dash does not e.g. Lorem-ipsum = Lorem-Ipsum
    The full story is that there is a standing indesign file used over and over again which data-merges surnames which are in a massive database. The data arrives in uppercase and our mail barcoding software allows us to Title Case certain fields, but the Title Case behaviour has the following results:
    * McLeod = Mcleod
    * D'Agostino = D'agostino
    * Smith-Bunting = Smith-bunting
    i've been able to solve the McLeod = Mcleod problem with the following GREP style:
    (?<=Mc)\l
    and then apply a character style which is nothing more than All Caps.
    similarly, i've been able to solve the D'Agostino = D'agostino problem:
    (?<=\u')\l
    and once again apply the All Caps style to the affected letter. This also solves the O'leary problem to O'Leary.
    However, when I try these GREPs to grab the Smith-bunting style issues:
    (?<=\u\l+?-)\l     or   (?<=\u\l{2,}-)\l
    the search won't work, nor will it work with regular Find/Change GREP replace... yet the expression \u\l+?-\l will find the block that i'm after.
    I could use the search
    (?<=\l-)\l
    and this will find Smith-bunting = Smith-Bunting... but will also find co-operate = co-Operate (will find two words joined with a dash but  starts with a lower case letter).
    This is fine if the para style is applied to the  line in the address block containing the client's name, but if the name is referred to in a block of text, then that block of text has to have the para style with the GREP style applied, and any dashes between words in that para behave the same way as the name.
    yes, it is possible to go into excel and use the =PROPER(affected cell) and fix the Smith-Bunting fields, but i'm trying to create a solution which will work solely in InDesign so that other operators in the office (who aren't familiar with excel) can simply open the standing file and dump in the txt database generated by the mail barcoding software.
    there are other names that the mail barcoding's title-case fouls up i.e.
    * MacLeod = Macleod
    * van der Graaf = Van Der Graaf
    * van Diemen = Van Diemen
    but a GREP to make Macleod become MacLeod may foul up Mack, Mackie or Macy to become MacK, MacKie or MacY.
    I also know that a GREP for the van der or van won't work as the style will only force letters to become All Caps, not uppercase to lower...
    Ultimately...
    does anyone know a way to GREP style (not a find/change GREP) a fix for Xxxxx-xxxxx = Xxxxx-Xxxxx?
    Colly
    Colecandoo.

    I agree with Haakenlid on his Dirty-Workaround view -- I feel data should be entered the way it oguht to, not altered by some magic GREP styling -- but then again I can also sympathize with your POV re: a fire-and-forget solution even your dumbest operator can't miss.
    Oh the rigors of life.
    If you are totally, absolutely certain you want to do this by GREP, use this:
    (a) Set a To Capitals character style to the string
    \b\u\l+\-\l
    -- this will magically transform "Hon. Lt. Sir John Forsythe Blunt-object" into "BLUNT-Object".
    (b) Then override ( ! ) the first half again with another character style that removes the To Capitals attribute ( ! ):
    \b\u\l+-(?=\l)
    Notice how this expression is exactly the same as the above one, except for the very last code -- the next lowercase must also be caught, but now using a lookahead so its formatting won't be affected.
    This removes the All Caps override from the first halve, changing it from "BLUNT-Object" back to "Blunt-Object".
    Lots of side effects, I'm sure. Perhaps it is safer to teach your operators to run a single script.

  • Pretty much confirmed interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Same on PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!

    I've pretty much confirmed that the interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Word/Acrobat PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!
    Situation: two workgroups need to work with each other sharing and editing word and pdf files for complex documents containing a TOC, list of figures, etc.
    Problems reproducible on many machine types and configs:
    1. WORD FILES: TOCs do not retain hot links within a doc that has been touched by a mac, and then re-saved as a PDF with the intent to have a linked TOC with chapter heads.
    2. PDF FILES: that have been touched by a mac, for example to edit the document properties, will loose all TOC function as in problem #1 above.
    In short, this rots for mac users who have to share/edit these files with PC brethren.
    The only solution that I found for mac users is this:
    Do your thing in Word 2008. Then have a PC version of Word and PC version of acrobat installed on a virtual drive like Parallels or VMWare, etc. Delete your TOC using MS Word for Windows, reinsert a new one, and then use the PC distiller installed into word by Acrobat Professional to create a new PDF that will be cross-platform functional.
    I had a meeting with the Mac users to explain this work around and they looked at me like I was crazy, and they pretty much said go pound sand, we don't care if the TOCs are linked or not.
    Well, I may be exaggerating there a bit, but NO ONE was happy with this solution, including myself. Our BIG question is "Is anyone going to fix this problem in the shortterm?!?" And it's Microsoft and Adobe both that seem to have some responsibility here...with an emphasis on Adobe, as it's clearly not just an MS isssue, as you can totally destroy a working TOC in a PDF file by just editing the file properties on a mac. Arg...
    I also find it frustrating that Adobe does not have a forum for cross-platform specific issues, which to me seems consipiritory. Ha!

  • Syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7

    Question about syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7.The
    printed Word format has Hdr/Ftr, TOC, Title Page stuff.
    I understood that, when importing a Word .docx, RH creates
    books for Heading 1s and Topic headings are Heading 2. That is why
    both Word and RH templates use the same paragraph style names
    (though the format in Word/print differs from that in RH/online).
    I imported my Word file into a new RH HTML 7 project. The TOC
    has the expected books/topics/subtopics. I imported the .css and
    the .htt from the RH 5 template project. I selected all 160 topics
    in the Topic List pod and applied the corporate .htt template
    (Topic Properties > General) AND (to be certain), the corporate
    .css stylesheet (Topic Properties . Appearance).
    This project doesn't have the same characteristics as the
    base/master from RH 5 that uses those same format files. I even
    imported the same skin. I get the banner, but not the styles.
    All the topic headings in the RH 7 project (were transformed
    to) are Heading 1 styles, even though they were Heading 2s in Word.
    (this breaks with my tribal knowledge of how RH imports
    Books/Topics from a Word doc). The heading colors (navy blue, royal
    blue, etc.) have taken on their own definitions--dunno where from,
    tho.
    Since I'm OCD about creating and using one style for each
    type of paragraph (procedurehead, syntax, procnum, procnonum, note,
    bullist) in Word or in RH, Peter Grainger's suggestion to "clean
    up" styles before importing shouldn't apply.
    RH instructions omit any detail about what to specifiy in the
    Conversion Options and Split On Style. I took a couple of swipes at
    the SOS--OK, split on Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3. So I get
    Books for Heading 1, separate topics for Heading 2 and Heading 3,
    but the "topic titles" have become Heading 1 in name but not in
    format. In fact, the format doesn't match anything I've specified
    in Word or RH. I thought by "attaching" the .htt and the .css to
    each topic (select all topics, , I'd have the look and feel I
    specified in my corporate RH(5) template. The banner imported, the
    navigation pane and icons imported. What happened to the styles?
    Here's the missing link that someone may need to explain
    (explicitly in Help somewhere). When I open the .htt template
    (sample topic) that I imported from RH 5, the topic title shows as
    Document > Heading 2 > in the Design view. The HTML view
    labels this paragraph as h2:
    <!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
    Frameset//EN">
    <html><head>

    <h2>NameOfPackage: NameOfMethod</h2>

    Hi Jim,
    Don't know how useful my question is now, given that you posted over a year ago.
    Do your RH X5 Word source docs use styles?  If so, take a look here, and I detail how I have been able to import from RH X5 for Word to RH 7 HTML.  (I'm currently still working on a leftover issue with Keywords and Subkeywords.)
    One thing I have done which probably helped:  while applying new standards to our documentation, we have removed almost all images (screen shots, etc.), and have only retained those images which don't have a text equivalent.  The drastically reduced the import file size of my Word source docs.  All my images were referenced via TrueCode, but upon importing to RH 7 HTML, there was so much less to be processed by RH 7 HTML, that the import went much more easily and quickly.
    I hope this helps,
    Marjorie

  • Find space between word with different endings and digit

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to find spaces between word and digit.
    I am limited to use only word 'WORD' (either capital or small caps) with different endings like -ing -s -y and more (using \S+).
    I wrote something like (?i)(?<=WORD\S+)\s(?=\d+) but this does not seem to work due to some limitation of lookahead I belive?
    Any suggestions?

    Hmmh?
    Your Grep do not find your first example: WORD 0,2 (WORD without any ending)
    And you don't need the second ()
    And please do not use \S
    Use this instead:
    (\<WORD\l*)\s(?=\d)
    (l is the little L)
    Have fun

  • Workflow stuck between 2 steps

    Hi ,
    I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step and in one of the instances the workitem number of the previous step is showing zero. I checked ST22 but there are no related dumps. Can some one advise on this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Vikas

    Hi,
    >>I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step>>
    What do you mean by not at any particular step? by the way, what is the current status of your workflow? and also current status of last step in your workflow?
    Make sure All Basic Workflow Customizations are correctly set, check SWU3 and correct if any problems there.
    Good Luck !!

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    is it a Hard-coded text or a variable text.
    If its a constant & Hard coded text then u can directly maintain by using space bar.
    if its a variable text just define a paragraph format with Tab positions as per ur requirement of space..

  • Sapscript - Repited spaces between words

    Hi friends.
    I'm working on a ZMEDRUCK sapscript and when printing a line item, the item text (field EKPO-TXZ01) is being printed with spaces between words.
    E.g.:
    Original value in EKPO-TXZ01: material test.
    Printed: material      ...(two or more spaces)...       test.
    This also happened with other text variable, but stopped happen when I formated with <K> text </>.
    But in this case, its not working. I'm using standard IT Paragraph format.
    What to do to take out the repited spaces ?

    Hi Atul.
    I have already tested (C) statement in this variable and performs too.
    There are more texts with same problem. Literal words have same problem too in address in the header.
    I've already tryied copting standards paragraphs too, but without sucess.
    A friend concultant said to me to make a test with a new paragraph with LEFT alignment only and LEFT alignment to all tabulators. I'll try that once and give feedback here.
    Any other idea ?
    thanks.

  • Office 2010 spaces between words not consistent

    Hello all,
    I recently switched from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Since the switch I notice that the spaces between words are not consistent in length.
    I selected the spaces individually and even in the selection you see differences in the size of the spaces.
    This example is from a PPT using Ariel, 18 font size.
    Things I've tried so far:
    I've tried disabling kerning, but that makes the font look really bad. I also tried adjusting the character spacing and while this does solve the issue on an individual basis, I don't have the time to go over every space in a document or presentation to fix
    this issue. 
    The text is aligned left and I've verified that there is only one space between the words.
    I tried the same document on 2 different pc's. One of Windows 7, the other on Windows 8.1. Both have this issue with Office 2010. 2 Different computers using Office 2013 do not have this spacing issue.
    Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Office 2010? Is there a fix?
    Thanks in advance,
    Zjef

    Hi Zjef,
    Generally, in Word, spaces should be consistent for all texts, unless you have your paragraph set to "Justify" which means to stretch out the text to fill the entire space within the margin.
    So please first check if you have this option selected for your text.
    Also, have you ever tried to print it out and check if it's the same as on the screen? Sometime word will adjust the space to improve document readability, which vary by screen sizes, video cards, etc.

  • Does anyone have an issue where your apps get stuck between transitions?

    Sometimes when I go and close my apps from the multitasking screen, the ones on my home screen get stuck between transitions. The way to get them to line up right is to swipe the home screen a few times. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

    It's not an actual issue - your iPad is running slow as it attempts to close out the apps and free up the memory they were using. If you give it a few seconds it'll catch up and be back to normal.
    Which brings up the question - why close the apps this way? There is no need to close any apps from that screen unless they are locked up or caught in a loop that's destroying battery. Otherwise, iOS takes care of all memory and space management with no intervention from the user.

  • How can i write with double spaces between words ?

    hello everyone,
    i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
    how can i do it and make it default ?
    for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

    Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
    You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

  • Workflows stuck between steps not on steps

    Hi
    We have upgraded from 4.6 to version 6 and erp2005 portal. The problem we are having is that a few of our old workflows seem to get stuck between steps and not on the step itself. 2 examples, the old sub workflow for to lock employees gets stuck on the arrow in the graphic between 'find employee' and 'lock employee' similarly if a 'process control' sets a work item to 'obsolete' to cancel it the process cancels the work item but does not fully exit the obsolete process branch and is stuck there on the arrow in the swi1 graphic. The workflow status is 'In Process' no errors are given.
    Any ideas? Are there maybe notes that have to be implemented to correct a bug in the system?
    Maximum points awarded for this. Thanks!
