Using a .pages document in iWeb

Being that I am new to iWeb and struggling a bit, can somebody help with a simple problem.
I have a Pages document that I have spent some time honing. It contains many photos in context with the text (usually fixed not floating). With the photos it is some 50Mb in size.
I have tried sending the document to iWeb as a Pages document but nothing seems to appear the other end. As a PDF file it appears but only as a link in a placeholder box. Copy/pasting to a new webpage transfers the information, but the order of the photos is totally scrambled.
Am I doing something wrong or too complicated? Is there a better way to make such a page (for example using links to existing photos in my MobileMe Gallery?
Thanks for any help.

Is there a better way to make such a page
It would be better to create it in iWeb to start with. Pages isn't intended for making websites.

Transferring Pages document to iWeb as a blog

I have created a 3 page 'blog' in Pages 09 using 'Informal newsletter'; 'Photo collage'; and 'Insert 2 columns with sidebar' for successive sheets. I then tried to 'send to iWeb' using 'Pages' . A My blog icon appeared with Pages title & ipsum laurem text.
I cannot open this blog. Neither does 'next' or 'previous' functions work (yet). Neither the blog nor archive seem to open as described in the tutorial.
Have also copy/paste of individual sheets successfully, from Pages without becoming a continuous blog, although this is not the way to produce a blog!
Any suggestions

You want the pages designed in Pages to be the pages in iWeb?
Or do you send Pages as a file to iWeb for download.
If it is the first option then copy/paste the objects from Pages to iWeb.
That's what I did :

Can I import a .pages document to iweb?

I am trying to load a sizable document (250-300 MB) into a website so it can be viewed instead of downloaded. The document is originally created in .pages format, but can easily be changed to a PDF. I can upload it to iWeb or another application if necessary. How can I make this work?

Phil ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. To avoid your large doc being a part of iWeb's Domain file, I suggest you convert it to a PDF and post it to the free Posterous. Then link to that post from your iWeb site. The PDF will automatically be displayed in a convenient viewer, for example:

Step by step instructions on transferring and using my Pages documents in the Neu.Annotate App

I am new to Neu.Annotate and need step by step instructions on transferring, viewing, and editing (if necessary) my Pages and/or Word documents with the Neu.Annotate App - thanks. These documents are presently on my MacBook (onto which I just installed Lion) but I want to put them on my IPad and edit them there.

Hi,

Pages document turned to gibberish-strange characters in rectangles. Can't read underlying text (still there)

I use a Pages document (password protected) as a frequent reference. It is 22 pages of text. Suddenly most text was replaced with strange characters, each encased in a little rectangle, so document was unreadable. Selecting a section of text, I could right-click and see that underlying text was still there, just not readable onscreen. Style was "Normal*." I don't know what the " * " means. I selected all and changed style to "Heading 9" on the list. All text reappeared, so my data is ok - for now (though not formatted as I want it). I can't trust Pages, however, and don't know what caused the problem or how to avoid it.
Note that the style now shows "Heading 9*". I don't know why the " * ". I tried selecting all and making "Normal" the global style, but the strange characters wouldn't budge. Switching back to Normal brings back gibberish.
Some text is Verdana; I just noticed that changing font also got rid of gibberish. Changing back to Verdana brought back gibberish.
Note that not every line of text was changed to gibberish; some were just fine.
Other Pages documents are fine - right now. I notice that there are asterisks in Style in other text documents.
I'm an experienced computer user, new to Pages in the fall when it came with my MacBook Air. In this document, format isn't all that important, but I can imagine where this would be a huge disaster for other types of documents.
Any help in figuring out what's going on most appreciated.

Tom -
"That sounds like Apple's Last Resort font, which gets used when for some reason the app forgets about the font being used. Use Fontbook to make sure you don't have duplicate Verdanas on your machine. Also try cleaning your font caches with Onyx or by doing a safe boot"
Wow! Who would have guessed! Thank you for the advice; Fontbook revealed a number of duplicate fonts - ot Verdana, interestingly enough - which I have now resolved. I then switched all text to Trebuchet MS, and everything reverted to normal. I can live with Trebuchet.
This problem appeared on the same day (before or after I wasn't sure) I installed MS Office. Could this have caused the problem?
Thanks for your prompt reply, explanation and solutions.

Sending .pages doc to iWeb

i created a document in Pages, my resume actually, that I want to add as a page in iWeb.
In Pages, I select from the menu "Send to iWeb." Then, when iWeb opens, I am asked to select a kind of theme page in iWeb. I select just a blank page theme.
My .pages doc loads in the new iWeb blank page. The problem is that the .pages doc is way too small on the iWeb page, much smaller than the webpage itself. So what I do to fix this is I just stretch the .pages document until
it fits the size of the iWeb page. However, this is not a good thing because
stretching the .pages doc, or any doc, reduces the quality and it ends up looking not so good.
My question is: how do I send a .pages document to iWeb so that
it fits on an iWeb page correctly, so that I don't need to stretch it out
to make it bigger so it wil fit the iWeb page?
PS: initially, I set the iWeb page the same size dimension as the .pages document, but it still inserts small on the iWeb page.
thanks for all suggestions!

Here's are two sample sites done with Pages objects.

Here's how it looks in Pages

The problem is: it pastes on the iWeb page much smaller
It's not a problem. The scale of Pages and iWeb are not the same. Simple re-arrange the objects until it suites your taste. It's called webdesign.
I mean just copy and paste a Page document onto a blank iWeb page.
That's not what you said.

Perhaps a better understanding of the language would help. It allows you to better understand your problem, to convey what it is you want to know and for others not to waste their time finding solutions for problems that are not there.

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

How to insert blank page into pages document when using word processing mode?

I've recently created a 50+ page document using Pages '09. I started the document using word processing mode. Now, when I view in thumbnail mode and try to insert a blank page somehwere in the middle of the document, it won't allow me to select where I want. It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section. I believe this is because I am in word processing mode. My question is, can I convert the document to layout mode so that each page represents it's own section, without losing what work I've already done? And if so, how?
The document is entirely text boxes and images, so I don't have any need for word processing space. I just need new pages to act as blank templates for the text boxes and images I create.
Is it possible to keep all my work as is, and convert the document to layout mode vs. word processing mode?
Thanks!

It just selects all the pages, as thought they are one section.
That's because they are one section. You must insert section breaks to separate them. There is no need to use page layout which does make each page a separate section. You have to manually add each page & use text boxes or other containers for the text & link the text boxes.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:

When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

How can I re-arrange the pages in a Pages document now?? I used to be able to click on the thumbnails and shift their position which is important in creating documents. Any ideas?
