Working off of a word doc to IBA

Ok I'm trying to create an IBA from a word doc. The word doc is already layed out on pages and I'm now going page for page copying any text and images into Pages in IBooks Author. I forst notice when doing this manually that the font in the word doc is garamond, I have this font on my mac Pro and it shows up in IBA but as I preview each page I do off my IPad the font is not recognized. I had this similar problem with Keynote as some fonts do not display in IPad so first I need to know
Should I change the font to a font that is can be displayed in IPad so I do not have anything look wierd or just leave?
Last thing, I did read that I could iport entire word docs to IBA but after attempting this a few times using different templates the results are way off. Is there a way I can do the full import of the entire word doc off a blanl template in IBA and even if I could would that give me a better result?
Meanwhile Till I hear from someone I will continure to copy and paste each page from the word doc manually for now.
anyone?

You are obligated to use only the fonts that are supported by iOS/iBooks/iPad.
The iOS supported list to choose from is the pull-down menu in the toolbar, not the main menu.
I think it's up to you to experiment with various templates and your content - you might find it easier to change the WORD document layout and style first, once you find a template that meets your needs.

  • Lifting a photo off of a word doc, placing in iPhoto.

    With my PC, I would make albums using Word. I would scan a photo to the Word doc and place it among text. Now, with my new Apple, I wish to take some of those photos and get them into iPhoto.
    I have transferred the Word doc from the PC to my mac. I have tried to "copy" the photo, but that doesn't seem to work, as the "paste" function doesn't know what to do.
    I am in iPhoto 09 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4.
    How can I get a photo off a Word doc in my Mac, and put it in iPhoto?

    Or select the photo in word and print - select the PDF option and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will work universally for programs that use the Apple supplied print APIs

  • Hyperlinks not working correctly when converting word doc to Web Page, Filtered

    I have created a word document (MS Word 2013) with Table of Contents and their links to particular sections and all the hyperlinks works fine in the word document. But when I convert this document into Web Page, Filtered then after a specific point
    the hyperlinks not pointing to their respective sections instead they are pointed to the end of the page.
    I have checked the page source of the HTML document and found that the table of contents have hyper links but the respective sections doesn't have the hyper link code and hence click on the a section didn't find the that section and go to the end
    of the document.
    I have tried to convert into PDF and hyperlinks worked fine.
    Please advise me how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

  • Formatting is off when opening Word docs in Pages and vice versa

    I recently decided to switch from Windows to Mac and bought a MacBook. I used to use Word on my Windows computer and now when I open .doc or .docx files in Pages, the formatting is off, i.e. bullets, tabs, spacing, etc. This formatting problem also happens when other people use Word to open my files that I created in Pages and saved as a .doc. Is there some fix for this so that I don't have to reformat each document that was created in Word but that I now open in Pages?

    For maximum compatibility I think you need to use Word for Mac or OpenOffice.

  • How to work on a Microsoft word doc

    Hi. I would like to sync a word document (a novel i am working on!) that is on my MacBook pro - I think Dropbox is out of the question. How could I do this? Many thanks

    I use the MacBook at home where it stays and take a windows vista (yuk) laptop with the same microsoft office package work. Instead of using a memory stick I was hoping there would be a cloud service like Dropbox I could use but apple doesn't seem Dropbox friendly unless I'm mistaken.
    Any suggestions? Many thanks

  • Download to word works but cant edit word doc

    Hi. I have just bought adobe export pdf. I have exported a questionnaire in pdf and it has converted it into word very nicely. When I come to input the data onto the form non of the lines line up and questions dissapear if you move the starting point of the answer. can anyone advise?

    I don't know what version of Word that is, it may be very old indeed.
    Apparently, the basic compatibility is
    DOC files - Word 97 onwards
    DOCX files - Word 2007 onwards (add on for Word 2003 available)

  • Spellcheck not working for Outlook or Word docs

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble configuring spell check on my MacBook Air.
    Text is not highlighted when misspelled, for example "updatd" instead of "updated"
    I have followed path Tools - Spelling and Grammar when finishedI have tried leaving text as is, and selecting all text. Neither option picks up the typo.
    I followed path Word - Preferences - Auto Correct.
    All check boxes ticked under 'AutoCorrect' menu
    Language = English AUS (I am in New Zealand)
    I followed path Word - Preferences - Spelling and GrammarIn Custom Dictonary field "Custom Dictionary" is checked.
    I send out lots emails to clients each day, and create presentations so it's obviously a problem for me - any help much appreciated!
    Cheers

    Contact Microsoft support. Those are MS products. Neither one uses the spell checking facilities built into OS X.

  • I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

    You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
    This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
    Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

  • Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

    I have a suspicion you're working with a scanned document that has had OCR run to recognize the text. The recognized text may be stored on an invisible layer above the image of the text, and that is what you're toucing up. It's invisible, so you don't see it, but retains the changes, so exporting produces the new edits.
    When you run OCR to recognize scanned text,, try using the ClearScan option, instead of Searchable Text. See this help page on Acrobat (this is for version X, but still applies):

  • After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

    After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

    Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
    Operating system:  Windows 8.1
    Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
    Can you help me, please?

  • Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

    Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?  My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it.  Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

    Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat.  There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

  • While typing a doc in Word, the spinning wheel appeared and froze the Word document.  I had another Word doc open at the time.  I tried to force quit, but it didn't work.  I would like to save it before losing my work, but the spinning wheel blocks me.

    While creating a Word doc, the spinning wheel appeared and won't go away.  Another Word doc was open at same time.  How do I get this fixed while saving my work?

    Basically, you don't.
    The 'spinning wheel' is simply an indicator that an operation is taking longer than it should. It doesn't say anything about why, or even if it's an error or not. If it's in Word, it could be that the app is hung, or it could be that it is waiting for some kind of user input, or input from another app. (My bet would be on the former.) You could go into Activity Monitor, identify the process that's making it wait, kill it, cross your fingers and hope that it would generate an error that would cause Word to return control to the user (you). If you had the expertise, that is, and the moon were in right quadrant.
    Realistically, your only option is to force-quit Word. Once that is done, if AutoRecovery was on, then, with luck, you could recover much of your work. Here
    <http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahnd.html>
    you'll find a quick overview of AutoRecovery and how it works.
    If it wasn't on (it should be on by default), then you're out of luck. Chalk it up to experience, turn it on, and back to the grindstone.
