Using iWork pages for note taking - Outline Mode

I am trying to find a good way to take notes in an organized fashion. The other week a friend of mine was using an outline mode in microsoft office and looked to be a great way to organize his notes. I wanted to do something similair on my mac, and it appears that iWork Pages will support the Harvard outline function which is great, and also it'll sync in the cloud, so if I'm on my ipad, it'll save to the cloud, if I'm on my iMac it'll save to the cloud. I only have one hiccup, when I use my iPad, it doesn't seem to recognize my outline that I'm using in iWork on my iMac. I'll start typing on my iPad and it's like the outline doesn't even exist.
So my question is, is there an outline feature for pages for iOS? I want my notes to be seamless wheather I'm working in my iMac or iPad.
Please help!

i dont think pages for iOS does exactly what your looking for. If i were you i would just google outline apps for iPad. There are some highly rated ones that use icould sync, as well as other methods and services. Those are made exclusively for what your looking to do and most arent very expensive.

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

If we will to purchase iworks (pages for mac oS will we be able to DL & install to our windows desktop)

No, the iWork apps are only available for the Mac. There are separate versions for iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) that are purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have an iCloud.com account there is iWork for iCloud that runs in a web browser, including web browsers on a PC. It is currently in beta & may not be available to all iCloud users yet.

Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet

Hello folks,
I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
So just a sum up:
I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
Thank you in advance!

I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...

I lost app when upgrading to 5.0here did it go...important app I use for note taking at work!

I upgraded my iPad 1 to the new iOS, 5.0, and it removed an application I downloaded from the Apple Store called Noteworthy. It was a note taking software, and it's been upgraded a few times since I bought it, so I know it's legitimate. I lost all my notes, etc. Anyone have advice? This is pretty critical for me!

Apple stepped me through the backup restore, only to find out it was all gone. VERY UNHAPPY with APPLE, and am planning to tell everyone I know. Step one of any upgrade should be to conduct a back-up, and confirm it with the user. I guess Apple thinks they are above process? Oh well...eight months of notes flushed away. I guess I should not have had a choice in keeping those, right??? APPLE BITES!

Using iWork, iCloud for ultra-portable presentations

I am considering buying a refurbished iPod Touch or iPad Mini, and I wanted to discuss how to apply iWork for iOS in concert with iWork 2009 for Mac.To wit:
As you can see from the listings below, I have access to useful hardware and software. I am writing this to seek advice on how to leverage these tools to give business (and personal) presentations while I'm on-the-road and may (or may not) be carrying hardware with me. If I'm forced to travel light, I was wondering if simply taking a thumb drive and/or using my iCloud account may be enough.
I work for a small construction business that does projects in eight surrounding counties. I work as a "Producer", which means I'm both an office manager (writing up contracts and job estimates, arranging business with customers, contractors and suppliers over-the-phone) and a project manager (working with those same business contacts in-person on remote project sites). I am also applying for work outside of our business, and want to be able to use visual aids if/when necessary to illustrate what I do during an interview.
I recently started taking a Lynda.com course on "Setting Up Your Mobile Office to Work from Anywhere", and it got me to thinking about how I could use iCloud and Apple's iWork apps to create business presentations that could be played in a variety of portable scenarios. My goal is to be able to travel light and still be able to make presentations to individuals or groups.
MY CURRENT PERSONAL/BUSINESS HARDWARE & SOFTWARE
iMac 13,1 : late-2012 slimline model, 2.9 GHz Core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk, USB SuperDrive
MacOS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
iLife 2011 (including iPhoto 9.2.3)
iWork 2009 (including Keynote 5.3, Pages 4.3, and Numbers 2.3)
Microsoft Office 2011: Mac
Final Cut Studio 3, including Final Cut Pro 7
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8
iCloud account, free-tier service
DSL high-speed connection to internet
Have been shooting digital photos since November, 2001; manages iPhoto library of over 52,000 images
OTHER HARDWARE AVAILABLE
white MacBook 2006 vintage, 1.83 GHz Intel processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB hard disk, SuperDrive, MacOS 10.6.8, iLife 2011, iWork 2009, Microsoft Office 2011 (MacBook is not my machine; used by someone else in my office. This computer has battery issues; it must be plugged into AC power.)
Epson EX7200 projector, with USB thumb-drive port (for JPEG presentations), VGA port, and HDMI port.
Scenario #1: If I prepared a Keynote presentation on my iMac and transferred it via WiFi or thumb drive to the old MacBook, do I need to copy just a single Keynote file over and that's it? No attached files or folders with files in them?
Scenario #2: I have successfully, in the past, used the Epson projector and a thumb drive loaded with photos and also a USB camera card reader with an SD card attached to show simple JPEG photo slideshows. If I wanted to just use the Epson's USB port to show Keynote slideshows, they would have to be stored in folders as JPEG files. How easy is this to prepare with Keynote? Are there any pointers available on designing a useful workflow for preparing such slideshows without a lot of fuss?
Scenario #3: Forget the projector; too much bulk. If I had just a small iOS device like an iPod touch, and I wanted to plug into someone else's projector (or if I wanted to just show a slideshow of images to one person with no projector) what do I need to be prepared for, hardware-wise? What do I need to do with Keynote, both on the iMac for production and on the iOS device to make it look right?
Scenario #4: Let's say I'm going to carry everything on a USB thumb drive as a backup. What is the best way to set it up to play on someone else's hardware? (I assume three tiers of compatibility: I do network with Mac/iOS users, so Tier #1 would be Apple compatibility with Keynote. Tier #2 would be general compatibility with Microsoft Office 2003/4 for pre-XML file formats. I guess that Tier #3 would be general-purpose PDF files, or maybe the JPEG file approach with thumb drive ports on projectors.) If I'm doing Tier #1 and I'm plugging my thumb drive into someone else's MacBook, are there any pointers to avoid font conflicts or other issues? If I'm doing Tier #1 and I'm borrowing someone else's iPad to show a slideshow, how do I get the files off of a thumb drive to show on the iPad?
Scenario #5: ** iCloud ** Let's say I'm traveling VERY light, and I want to give a presentation that's stored on my Apple iCloud account. How can I organize files and folders so that Tier #1, #2 and #3 files are available (assuming I have an internet connection) so I can play a presentation off someone else's hardware, be it a tablet or laptop. Is there anything I should know about how to prepare this and how to reliably be able to log-in and access my iCloud files? Are my iWork 2009 apps going to function in preparing and saving presentation files with my iCloud account?
Scenario #6: Scenario #6 is Scenario #5, but substituting another service instead of iCloud, like maybe Google Drive. Is there any way to set up an account with files so I can reliably be able to access said files for a presentation?

Just sign into your iCloud account on icloud.com, click the app that you want to use (see below) and it will launch. You don't need to sign into anything but your iCloud account.

Can Pages for iOS do Outline Documents?

To all the folks with an iPad and Pages: does the iPad version:
- support editing outline documents?
- have ability to create new outline documents?
I do all my idea management in outlines, and really hope it's there.

It can. I too use outlining extensively for my work. I got my iPad today, and immediately downloaded iWork Pages to import and edit a MS Word file in outline form. It worked great, and conformed to the existing outline formatting. To create a new document, there are minimal but adequate options for outlining. You can create lists that are numbered or lettered, and the outlining will function automatically. You can either use a menu-based tabbing feature to adjust outline levels, or you can actually grab a line of text and drag it horizontally, and Pages will automatically adjust its outline level accordingly. Not as robust as Word, but it does work well!

Here you are in a forum dedicated to Pages for OSX.
Most of us don't use Pages for iOS.

Spell check function in my iworks pages does not work, how do I fix this?

I have a new IMac (intel) and I am struggling learning to use the ipage part of the iwork suite. There does not appear to be a spell check feature working, since I'm trying to create some new documents, this is a real hassle. And does anyone know how to do a cut and paste of images from the web. I'm doing a presentation, have permission to use the photos and can't get it to work!! sigh I beginning to think I should have paid the xtra bucks and bought the window suite version, at least I know where they hid the bells and whistles in that one.
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
For questions on Pages post in the Pages forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
-- You can read about the various spell check features in Pages by typing in the word "spelling" in the Pages help menu. This entry should get Spell check up and running for you: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Pages/4.0/en/sl150c96ab.html
If there is an image on a website you want to use locally on your computer usually just dragging the image from the web page anywhere on your desktop is enough to copy the image. You can then drag the image from the desktop anywhere you want.
Alternatively you can right-click (or hold down the control key and regular click on the image) on the image and then choose "Copy Image. You can then perform an Edit > Paste into a Pages document for example.
Hope that helps.

Using Customized page for logging in

Hi all,
I am trying to use an html page for logging into Sun Identity manager.
Actually we have an html page, on which we have a section in which the user can enter the credentials.
Now when he clicks the submit button, then the user should be able to login SIM.
I thought that in backend we can pass the values entered in html page to user/login.jsp.
But i am not getting in which attributes, we should get these values on user/login.jsp because i think,in backend it also calls some form and i am unable to get which form it is calling.
Any pointers can be helpful.
Thanks

i dont thik its possible use a separate html page for login.you can customise the login page(bit difficult but you can do it there are some css and .properties files are associated with that)

Iworks pages is not allowing my to type in a new blank document.

I am currently a college student who has reports to write ALL the time. I am use my MacBook Pro for all my school assignments, until recently Iworks Pages has been giving me problems. I click on pages then on blank document and I try to type and nothing shows up. If someone can PLEASEE help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. If I am unable to get to another computer to do my assignment I must open a previous assignment and type over it. Thank you guys for your time, I hope someone has an answer for me.

Are you aware of that there are two types of blank documents? Word Processing and Page Layout. You have click on the latter which uses text Boxes for text. Set in the Pages Preferences to automatically open the WP blank template!

Using Custom Styles for Levels in Outline View

How do you associate different levels in the Outline View with custom styles? By default they are associated with Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.
Thanks!
Bobby

Styles apparently have a hidden "my associated outline level is #" property. However you have to start with a style that has this hidden property set as there seems to be +no way+ to access or change this property yourself (This is unusually poor interface design from Apple - they've traditionally been better than that.)
You essentially need to use only the names "Heading 1", "Heading 2", etc, for styles associated with outline levels, and you can't create these styles yourself. You can change the formating of these styles in the normal way: Start with a paragraph formatted using "Heading #", changing the outline level to the appropriate one, manually change the text to look the way you want, select the new formatted outline level paragraph, and do "redefine style with selection". You can't just apply another style, it over-writes the hidden outline level # property with its own, usually "body", making it really difficult to add an outline to an existing document - you have to re-create all the styles.
You can have mutliple styles that apply at the same level by doing the same as above, but instead of redefining the appropriate "level #" heading do "Create new paragraph style from selection". (You have to name it something other than "Heading #").
Applying this style gives a paragraph the associated outline level as well. Unfortunately, if you promote or demote an "outline level #" tagged paragraph, its hidden "outline level #" property is changed and the new style will always become the "Heading #" style associated with the hidden "outline level #" property. There is no memory of where it came from, of course, so if returned to its original outline level, it looses the "custom named style". There is no way to tell Pages that it should choose your custom named style by default instead of the "Header #" style for a given outline level. I can see no reason Pages couldn't do this too.
I have a complicated document that was written with consistent styles for headers, and now want to use the outline feature. I have to literally recreate all the heading styles from scratch. I can then do "select all instances" for my former styles and then click on the "Heading #" style reformatted as a copy, changing them to exactly what they were before, except with the new mandated name and the one magic hidden property changed.
There is also some weird behavior used to hide unused "Heading #" styles: You can see evidence of this if you repeatedly demote an outline paragraph; the extra heading styles automatically appear in the style draw. Then if you then repeatedly promote the same outline paragraph, these intermediate styles go away. How that works without loosing user-defined styles with the same name I have no idea.

Use Muse pages for an e-mail campaign?

Hi All,
My client asked if I can provide Muse content for an email campaign.
If I export my Muse project to a folder then view the .html files using a browser the image looks close but not exactly right.
Does anyone have experience with using Muse designed pages for an e-mail campaign (as to how this can be done)?
Thanks!
Gary

I asked David Blatner, who runs the InDesign Secrets website, the same question about creating HTML Newsletters with Muse in a future edition, and he replied:
"The problem with "html email" is that it is dependent on very old email clients. For example, we are having a problem right now that some (but not all) people using Outlook 2003 are having trouble reading the free InDesign Tip of the Week email that we send using mailchimp. Yes, Outlook 2003.
Basically, html email has to be super lowest common denominator HTML. The best html email wouldn't even use CSS, but most email clients can read very simple css now. But remember that later versions of Outlook use MS Word as their HTML viewer, so… it's painful. That means, you really want to use tables and shim.gifs and stuff like that. It's not pretty.
Muse and in5 and most other tools are interested in creating 21st century HTML, not html from 1998. That's why it's extremely unlikely we'll see anything like this from Adobe (or probably even anyone else)."

IWork (Pages) does not work after last system update!

since some days (after last system update) iWork programms are not starting any more!
macosx 10.7.5 new update
solution atemd: cancel p-ram and p-list, re-installing iwork from DVD and update it from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
macbookpro 2.53 ghz intel core 2 duo, 8 gb ram
any body an idea what i can do to fix it?

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
cheers

IWork Pages template not printing correctly

I have used a template for my resume. In the template that says "First, Last", I typed my name. Like I am supposed to.
In the document it is correct. In the print preview it is correct. Yet when I print, instead of MY NAME it prints the words "first, last".
It's silly and I need these employers to actually know my name.
Please help.
Thanks.

I've just tested Vienna here and it works fine, name prints as expected.
Have you tried printing to pdf? What happens when you do?
Peter
btw you never said what version of Pages you are using and what printer.
