should I replace Pages with Word

I'm used to Windows Word and find which Pages are frustrating, especially when you try to create an envelope from a letter I just wrote. Should I replace Pages with nWord if possible.

Yes. It is possible to install Microsoft Office for Mac on Mac if you're willing to pay Microsoft for it.

Personally, I use rather LibreOffice. It meets my needs and costs nothing.

  • Numbering pages with words

    Is it possible automated implementation of pagination where the numbers are actually in words instead of numbers?

    For example. "Four" instead of "4"

    Here is a complete, tested Javascript with CS4, but it should work with later versions as well. It works like this:

    1 use the placeholder code "#" in your Master page (s) to indicate where the number of page - like words - should appear. Additional text around him and formatting etc should work just fine; You can even use something like

    It's # page of my first book

    and the script will change the ' # ' the full wording, retaining all formatting you applied (in this case, bold and underlined characters) for just the page number text.

    One based on master pages yet another master page should work (and in fact I so hope you happen to have consumed only because I took care of this special case, as well!).

    2. make sure that master page is applied to the pages in your document where you want the written page number.

    3. the script works with the masters both front and double-sided pages; It will not work with more than two pages per spread! (But it's a pretty unusual scenario).

    4. make sure that the numbering of the pages for these pages is in Roman numerals (1, 2, 3), not something like 'a', 'b', 'c' - the script needs the number to work.

    5. run the Script. It will replace the image placeholder on every page and replace the placeholder with the English text.

    6. If you have moved pages or changed the formatting on the master page, just run the script again and it will update everything. It will update the pages with this particular master page; If you applied another master page does not contain the page number placeholder, this does not alter the framework substituted in these pages!

    7. I wrote the function to convert number to text from scratch. Theoretically, it should be good; and then, in practice, the theory may not work. If you want to than some other formulations ("three-score and five", maybe) let me know & I'll see what I can do.

    8. the numbers as text is returned in all lowercase; by your example, I change the first word uppercase later. However, any other variant is Possible, of course.

    Enjoy!

    (Copy, paste it into a text editor such as the ESTK which comes with InDesign. Save to your user as 'pageNumberWords.jsx' Scripts folder and it should appear in the Panel Scripts. Double click to run, and then check if it worked as expected.)

  • HP dv6 envy: want to know on the best internal hard drive to replace it with

    Hi friends... I return my hp dv6 want 3 years and it has worked well for me so far, but since last month, everytime I turn on my laptop, a message is popping indicating that YOUR HARD DISK has FOUND YEAR IMMINENT FAILURE AND there NEED TO BE REPLACED and I studied a lot of posts here regarding this problem and everyone was asked to replace it with a new one. I don't know what drive should I replace it with. Could someone please help me in this regard. I need the following details:

    1. where can I find new internal hard drive HP ENVY DV6 1 to buy?

    2. can we replace this hard drive with the hard drive to other companies? (such as seaggate)... If so, so, please let me know

    3. can I replace the hard drive with a hard drive of 1 to solid state?

    4. links to vendors who sell internal hard drive?

    Please help me friends...

    The answer is Yes in all areas. The laptop will accept any 2.5 inch wide disk SATA 9.5 or 7 mm thick and which includes mechanical hard drives and Solid State drives. Where are you located (one country)? Hard drives and SSDS for laptops are a part of the goods. You can pick them up at a Best Buy or Frys if you live where there are no Frys or you can use amazon.com or newegg.com or similar online service. The prices vary a lot, so it is useful to get a good deal. A 1 to SSD can run more than $300, you know. Need instructions for installing and/or migrating software? We are a bit like McDonalds here in the Forum... served billion regarding replace drive hard/updates to level. One of the specialties of the House, so to speak.

  • Import multiple Word documents of several pages with the same master page?

    Hi, I should start by saying that I have no experience with script.  However, I wonder if there is a simple script for the following problem:

    I created a master page with three linked text boxes. Right now, I use Cmd + D to select a file in word, and then Shift + click in the first box to place the text on the page. But I have 125 pages that are exactly the same, just different layout Word files to import. I could repeat this process 125 times, but I wonder if there is a way to tell InDesign to create 125 pages using the Master Page X and a for each import file?

    I use InDesign CS5 v 7.0.4 on Mac OS x Snow Leopard 10.6.7 v

    I thank in advance for any help you can offer,

    NW

    I'm sorry. The problem is that InDesign treats the two pages of the spread of master together, I guess you have to make a few hoop jump. Try this, then:

    var
        d=app.activeDocument,
        p=d.pages,
        i, frames, masterPage, page;
    
    for (i=0; i
    

    We have to check the whether the page is a left-hand page, and if it is, use the first page (0) of the master spread, otherwiseuse the right page.

    How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    This just started happening the last two days.  I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.

    It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site.  The same thing happens on a site of sports too.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    2. what version of Internet Explore do you use?

    3 have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?

    Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned and later a update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Start Internet explorer with the mode without modules and check.

    Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the problem does not persist in Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), then it is one of the Add-ons at the origin of this problem. Please follow the steps below to locate the problem the weak module:

    a. restart IE normally.

    b. click on tools.

    c. click on Manage Add-ons.

    d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.

    e. reactivate modules one by one and check with what add-on, you get this error message.

    f. turn off the add-on at the origin of the problem.

    For your reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Internet-Explorer-Add-ons-frequently-asked-questions

    (For Windows Vista)

    Method 2: How to optimize Internet Explorer:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213/no

    Important: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

    Follow these recommended steps and after if you still experience the problem.

  • Replace the 100 pages with Lorem Ipsum?

    OK really puzzled

    I have 100 pages in Word of the text, and I need to replace the Lorem Ipsum text.

    Plan was to import text into InDesign, keep the styles, so forth and so

    But how would we go about replacing all the Lorem Ipsum text, while retaining the text, character for character, line for line, Word for Word, style?

    (this plan is to export the text to RTF to word and copy and paste the copy into Word)

    An operation what strange

    You can not easily replace the text character by character. Word by Word, however, was quite fun exercise.

    This script retains the original formatting, but replace the frame selected by your standard Lorem text (threaded) content. As a side effect, all signs of punctuation is also retained - which is caused by the replacement of words objects. Perhaps you meant, maybe it isn't.

    (Save it as "ScrambleTextToLorum.jsx" in your scripts folder; select the first block of text to loremize, double-click the script is running.) Wait a little.)

    if (app.selection.length != 1 || app.selection[0].constructor.name != "TextFrame")
    {
     alert ("Ground. Pull up. Ground. Pull up."); exit(0);
    }
    // Save selection
    targetStory = app.selection[0].parentStory.texts[0];
    // Make a Lorem frame
    loremFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
    loremFrame.geometricBounds = [ "0mm","0mm", "200mm", "200mm" ];
    loremFrame.insertionPoints[0].appliedFont = "Times New Roman";
    loremFrame.insertionPoints[0].pointSize = 8;
    loremFrame.contents = TextFrameContents.PLACEHOLDER_TEXT;
    sourceStory = loremFrame.texts[0];
    // Grab its words
    sourceWords = sourceStory.words.everyItem().contents;
    // .. and kill the placeholder
    loremFrame.remove(0);
    // Replace one word at a time. Start at the end.
    sourceWord = 0;
    destWord = 0;
    while (destWord < targetStory.words.length)
    {
     targetStory.words[destWord].contents = sourceWords[sourceWord];
     destWord++;

  • Numbering of pages in Word.

    Hello!

    I just wrote a 90 page scenario and add the numbers to the top of each page. However, the page numbers MUST start on page 3 and not before. The number of page 3 SHOULD be number 2. How do I achieve this in Word without altering the whole document and to do it manually?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you!!!

    Ask a question about word in a Windows forum. Ask at in short your forum; This is where the word experts hang out, and you're more likely to get the help you need there.

    But if you just need a copy numbered like this, here's a solution for you, if you can't get a straight answer:

    1. print pages 1 and 2 without page numbers.

    2. cut the content of Page 1 and paste it into a new document

    3. turn on paging

    4. print the document.

    5 take the first page of the printed document and replace it with pages 1 and 2, printed in step 1 above.

    6 reassemble your document.

  • Replace asterisks around words in italics?

    I created a rather long novel by using markdown and wants to open the text in pages (and possibly author iBooks). After trouble with paragraph breaks, my simple solution was to export the markdown to plan the text so far. However, all the words I formatted with italics in markdowns have asterisks (like * this *) around them. Y at - it something "Find and replace" to replace * this * with this?

    Hi composer.

    As far as I know, Pages have the ability to read Markdown coding.

    But a link in another thread led to http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

    where I found that Markdown is a text to HTML converter.

    There is an example on the page of the markdown of coding and the result of the HTML produced by Markdown when rendered by a browser. This sample copy and paste here or in the Pages showed that italics and bold the two survived the translation:

    DEPARTURES FROM THE SAMPLE

    .. is really quite ordinary text, simple and clear. How is that good for you?

    • You just type naturallyand the result looks good.

    • You don't have to worry about clicking the formatting buttons.

    ◦ Or fiddling with indentation. (Two spaces is all you need.)

    To see what you can do with Markdown (including tables, images, numbered lists, etc.), check out the cheat. And then try typing in this box!

    ENDS OF THE SAMPLE

    Sample above was copied from the page, and pasted into Pages, copied from Pages and pasted here.

    Can't speak for the effectiveness of this method on the length of a novel, but it can provide a route towards what you want to do.

    Kind regards

  • Add pages with restriction

    I want to calculate and add up the hours in the weekly planning table, but only those that contain a specific word.

    1 cell (class from 10:00 - 11:15) + 2. cell (11:15-12:00 break) + 3. cell (12:00-13:00 meeting) + 4. cell (13:00-13:45 run)

    for example:

    Jeff comes only for the class and meeting. So I want to add only class & session, including 2 h 15 min.

    But Nathan only comes to break, meeting & run. 2 h 30 min. my problem, that's every day is different, so I can't select specific cells, so it can calculate only what I need. I want to select each column in a week, so the program can search for specific words and only those which adds up.

    My question is there is a way I can do this? like functions, sumif and sumifs maybe... I couldn't understand it yet. He said only: I don't understand 10:00 - 13:00... I thought that maybe I could join each cell a 'hidden' length of time calculation, I can't say the program is this term with this word and to only add those... something like that...

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Algernom,

    " It just says: I don't understand 10:00 - 13:00....

    A table of Pages reads "Word from 10:00 - 13:00 ' as a text string, not as 'a pair of time, separated by a hyphen and followed by a word' and might not know what to do with this string as part of a mathematical formula

    There should not be very difficult to achieve the desired result, but the method will depend on the way in which the data is organized. Here's one possibility:

    Data are a calendar indicating the days and activities. The names of the people who attend are entered in the cells of the body.

    Research is a lookup table listing the activities and their departure times. As each activity starts at the time of the end of the previous activity, end time can be picked up in the cell below the start time, ad only the time of the end of the last activity should be included as a separate entrance...

    The duration of each activity is calculated in column C using this formula:

    Lookup::C2: B3−B2

    Fill to the list of the last entry line. If it is filled in the last row of the table, the formula returns an error of invalid reference.

    The result column using COUNTIF to count the number of times where a name is registered to an activity, then multiply this figure by the duration of the activity. There are four sections to this formula, one for each activity, separated by signs more. (Spaces entered after each + 'stack' sections below.) The sum of the four results is returned to the cell of hours of this line.

    Result::B2:

    = COUNTIF(Data::$2:$2,"=*"&A2&"*") × LOOKUP(Data::$A$2,Lookup::A,Lookup::C) + COUNTIF (data: $3: $3, "= *" & A2 & "*") × LOOKUP(Data::$A$2,Lookup::A,Lookup::C) + COUNTIF (data: $4: $4, "= *" & A2 & "*") × LOOKUP(Data::$A$2,Lookup::A,Lookup::C) + COUNTIF (data: $5: $5, "= *" & A2 & "*") × LOOKUP(Data::$A$2,Lookup::A) Lookup::C)

    Fill up to the last row of the result table.

    This may require revision if your table (s) is (are) prepared differently.

    Kind regards

  • Delete pages with empty text boxes that are threaded

    I tried the program and the forum and that you do not see the answer to what is probably a simple question.

    First the bottom -.

    I get files InDesign 100 + pages created with boxes of text block. I have change for a bigger and the text moves with the largest areas of text, everything as I want it.

    The problem now is, I have a lot of empty pages with empty text in them block boxes. When I try to delete the pages in the menu layout by selecting all empty it won't make more than one! (Because of the block of text boxes, I think.) There is often more than 100 when I'm through with my changes.

    Now the question-

    How can I easily get rid of the excess pages quickly?

    Thank you for your help

    Personally, I would not go the script. Course of thread should not affect the ability to remove any image and drilled it now which is threaded will cause just a nightmare on the road.

    That said, you should be able to open the pages Panel and select 'empty' pages at the same time by clicking on the first, then now Shift on the last. Then click on the trash bin icon. It is likely that you will get a warning indicating that the pages are not empty (they should have empty blocks of text on them). At this time it's OK to say go ahead and delete anyway. If you are worried, make a copy of the doc and do about it.

    If you are unable to get these pages to be deleted, it probably means that Smart Text Reflow is at work, so check if you have enabled delete empty pages in the preferences, or turn off completely. In the stop-coincidence one of these pages actually contained text put on to your pages, you will see an indicator of excess some hand (probably the last picture), then place the cursor at the end of their coaching to excess and press Ctrl (CMD on Mac) + Y to open the story editor and look to see what is actually in excess. If it is important, such as a table, for example, you need to understand why he was invisible (post another topic)., otherwise, select and then delete.

    If you are not able to delete several pages after messing around with the Smart Text Reflow settings, try replacing your preferences and check again the smart text reflow settings, and then try again.
