Hey Barry, thanks a lot for your info. As you mentioned, there's still a lot to do for Apple. But this little work around with tables helps me a lot. Great you brought it up. All the best Jürgen Am 26.01.2013 um 20:20 schrieb Barry Hadder : > Hey Jürgen, > > unfortunately, I don't know of a

Hey Jürgen, unfortunately, I don't know of a way to make all objects imbedded in a document behave that way. That is really just an alternative work-around to copying and pasting a table to numbers. I think that there are still a lot of problems when it comes to collaborating with others usin

Hi Christa, Barry and all, that's correct. Thanks for the input. Another question to this: At the moment it seems that I have to find the tables in a document manually, highlight them and open the director and so on. Is this correct or is there a way to let Pages show up tables automatically as a

Hi, Correct me if i'm wrong here, but the german and the Swedish version seems to be a bit similar. Line break is the Swedish name for word wrap, and that's what i suspect this is about. Does this make sence? /Krister 25 jan 2013 kl. 22:02 skrev Barry Hadder : > Hey, > > There seems to be a co

Hi Barry, got it. Thanks for your discription. It was the tap right before text. The german translation is a bit strange. The used word means something like a line break. That's what happens when you press enter at the end of a line. This could change my complete view of Pages. I looked for so

Hey, There seems to be a couple of differences between your version and mine. I don't have line, and I have rap right before text. You seem to have something called brak. I have no idea what that is, so The only thing I can suggest is to try that tab. Let me know if that works. I'm really c

Hi Barry, that sounds great. Unfortunately I use a german version of Pages and I don't know how to find "rap" because I don't know what it means. Could you please help me to find it? If I open the Inspector by pressing CMD + Option + i I find the following tabs from left to right: Document, Lay

Hi Anne, what happened to me was after copying back the table from Numbers to Pages not all of the text in a cell was still visible. A sighted person told me he couldn't read all the content what he could see in the Numbers cell. So it seems to me that Pages doesn't break the lines automaticall

Hi, Rather than copy the table to Numbers, You can go to the inspector and select rap. Then, in the object placement section choose floating. When you do that, the table can be seen by Voiceover in the layout area. You can interact with it as you would any other table. Barry H

Hello Annie, To copy a table from Pages to Numbers, open a blank spreadsheet in Numbers, select the table in Pages (VO will just report a highlighted space but Cmd-c will copy the table), then paste the item into the blank spreadsheet. Once the information has been entered, select the portion o

Hi Anne. Thank you for your suggestion. It was exactly the way I thought of doing it, but I could not find out how to setup numbers, I can create a new document. But how can I add the table? I simply open the table in pages as the first step, when I mark the table, how do I get it pasted in

Hello Annie, Have you tried extracting the tables to be filled in and pasting them into Numbers where the format will be retained? You can then select the tables and copy them back to Pages, if that's what you're using. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Annie, Unfortunately, I know of no way to do this using either Pages or TextEdit. It truly would be wonderful, however. There is a way to extract information from a Word table and read it in TextEdit, but I do not think it retains the original formatting, nor oes it allow you to fill out the
