Table cell objects removed by Pages ver 5.1

I created a document in the previous version of Pages, and now when I open it with Pages 5.1, it removes the objects from the table cells.
How can I overcome this? I thought I might work around by opening it in the previous version, but I cant figure out if it is still installed.
HELP
Thanks
Brian

No wonder it was a free "upgrade"! Economics 101; Price = value.
Fortunately I have a pdf version, and am currently copying and pasting the objects from the pdf into the pages file.
Found the old version, thanks. BUT V5.1 "upgraded" the file and 09 can't open it.
In future will save as a MS word file, then can work in OpenOffice, at least that's free AND works!
With the problems in Mavericks also, Apple is becoming more and more like a certain VerySmallAndLimp product....

Thanks Peter
Can you just walk me through dumping Pages 5 and getting to the Applications/iWork folder - and does this mean that when I see future Pages Upgrades I should block them?
I'm new to Apple so need a step by step
Many thanks

When I open an old pages doc in new pages 5.0 objects in table cells are removed. how can I stop this?

When I open an old pages doc with new pages 5.0 - objects, specifically pictures, in table cells are removed. Is there a way I can stop this?

nigel32,
Gavin is right. You are bound to lose images in tables of docs made in previous versions. If you wish to continue using Pages 5.0 to edit docs from previous versions, you can try re-inserting your images using the following method:
1. Click on the cell you want to insert to.
2. Select CELL on the right contextual menu.
4. Click on FILL and select IMAGE FILL.
5. Click CHOOSE then select the image you need from Finder.
6. Tweak the appearance using the SCALE slider or drop down menu.

As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.

Can a table cell be split across pages?

If I have a table, several rows, and one of the cells is longer than a page, can it be split between pages? I have not yet found a way to do it. Surely, it can be done.

You have CS5? Make your page size twice the height for that page, then cut page in Acrobat later.
You would also have to add a manual page number to the 'second' page and restart page numbering...
Not pretty, but it may suit your needs...

Changing the color of a Basic line object nested in a table cell

Can anyone help me out here...I have inserted a line object from the Basic palette into a table cell on my web page and it displays fine but is default black color...I would like to change the color but haven't been successful in doing so..any ideas

Hmm - doesn't sound right.
"color=#hex" is not appropriate HTML markup.... Can you show us where you
made this change?

Problems placing graphic into table cell. It makes the iPad locks up when previewing that page.

I have 3 table cells that need a jpeg graphic placed into them.
I can paste a grahic into a table cell, but when i try to preview that page on the iPad, ibook shuts down. I must be placing the graphic wrong or formats are wrong, like object wrap or "inline" "floating" or "anchored". the graphic shows up in the fill once I copy and paste into the cell, but it doesnt show up when I look at the file info in the inspector. Also, once I preview the iBook author project on my iPad, that page will shut down the iBook app.

Well KT.....I tried that. But it still didnt work. I have 2 pages that have tables. The first page is just a full page with text only with a gradient colored screen in the table column heads. The 2nd page has the graphic illustration in the 3 table cells. Both pages shut down when opened to full screen view. But when i remove the graphic, there is no problem with a shut down. I know its got to be something you have to do but is unwritten in any manual.

Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
Thanks!
Gary

The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
Pages can't; Word can.
(I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)

Cell editor removed when table resized

I'm using Java 1.5.0_06 in my application. I have a JFrame which contains a JTable. I use FormLayout (which is like GridBagLayout). When the frame resizes, the table resizes too.
When I enter edit mode in a cell of the table and resize the frame (and the table), the cell exits edit mode. The editor of the cell is removed when the table is resized which causes the value that I had entered in the cell to be lost.
Is there a way to stop cell editing when the frame is resized instead of the cell just exiting edit mode.

I would assume that on the resize of the table the
editing cancelled event is being fired...
You could try overriding the method in the JTable and
when it gets fired, fire the editing stopped method
instead... not sure whether that will work thoughI tried that, but it didn't help. On searching for this problem, I saw a bug report on this very problem.
Here's info on a related bug in java:
Cell editing does not complete when JTable loses focus
Lost newly entered data in the cell when resizing column width

How is it possible to split the table cells in Pages, Version 5.1

How is it possible to split the table cells in Pages, Version 5.1?

This is a feature removed in the change from Pages 09 to Pages 5.0.1.
If you need this facility, revert to Pages 09. If you upgraded to 5.0.1, then the earlier version is still in your Applications folder in a folder called iWork.

Auto update of time/date in a table cell in pages

I used to be able to do this in older versions.
In pages when I have a table cell with time/date I would like to have the current date show up every time I open the document. Not on every date in the document, but just in a set cell in a table.

Hi Brian,
Use the NOW function.

Table cell spanning pages

Hi all,
I'm having a rather major problem with Pages. I've managed to convince my sister-in-law to buy an iBook and star using Pages for her school work, however we've encountered a particularily difficult problem:
Pages (and AppleWorks) does not allow her to use table cells that span more than one page! Not only is this a problem because she has whole load of old MSWord documents that she needs to read, but she definitely needs to continue working like this. First because it's the only sensible thing to do, second because her teachers require her to.
Here's the problem: She creates a table, 2x8 cells (for example). In the rightmost column she generally writes quite a lot of text, often so much that it does not fit inside a cell that is limited vertically to the size of the page. In MSWord, this cell automatically wraps to the next page, however in Pages, the cell simply stops growing and the text appears to continue "behind" the next page.
We've tried to devise other layouts for her work, but tables seem to be the only feasible alternative. Using columns would not help her at all, text boxes would be too cumbersome, manually splitting the cells would make the document extremely difficult to edit (all her documents are, for a very long time, a work in progress, so editing happens all the time).
Can anyone help us out here? I'm || this close to going out to buy her a copy of MS Office, as no other word processor I've tried (Pages, AppleWorks, NeoOffice/J, OpenOffice) manages to deal with this properly. This would be a major admission of defeat.
Anyone?
Thanks,
/Eirik

Welcome to Apple Discussions Elrik
I have a Pages document with a single table that spans 11 pages. Unfortunately, it took a bit of fiddling with it & I can't remember how I did it. This is a table I had converted from AppleWorks, which also doesn't easily allow tables to span page breaks. I think I got it to do it by inserting new rows in the middle of the existing table. Then I would select & drag the contents from an unconnected table on another page into these new rows.

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

How can I save semi opaque background fill in a pages table cells?

I am trying to add background colour fill to some cells of a table. Solid, 100% fill is easy, but when I slide the opacity slider in the colours window and add to a cell, the new colour can be added to the table cell, but only saves as the full 100% colour in the saved document. I save the Pages document as a Word document. Thanks for any help.
George

How does it work if you save the document as the native .pages format? A lot of Pages features doesn't convert well to Word, or vice versa. Don't expect Pages to be a cheap Word substitute.
I can't check out what you are describing as I don't have Word.
Tip: Always save first as .pages, then you can EXPORT to another format. PDF is better format to retain what you have acheived in Pages.

Place image in table cell in pages for iOS 5

Can I place an image into a table cell in pages for iphone? This would keep me from having to take my expensive MBA out on the dangerous (for the computer) jobsite. It would change my life to be able to do this on the iphone as my reports require it. As of yet I've found no way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
~CR

Put the text cursor in the cell and use the regual Place command. The image will be placed as an inline graphic in the empty paragraph.
