Copy and Pasting between .pages documents

Hi,

I have two pages documents. I want to copy one (or a few of them) page from the original document to the new document.

I am clicking copy and going to the new document, but the new document does not allow me to paste and does not have the paste option in the menu bar.

Can anyone help me out please!

Thanks.

hi joe,


I notice from your screen shots you are selecting the thumbnail of the page, copying that, and then selecting the thumbnail for an existing page in the new document and attempting to paste to that.


Have you tried:

  • Copying as you have been doing.
  • Adding a page to the new document usin the Insert menu,
  • selecting tht page in the main part of the screen,
  • Pasting there.


or


  • Select the contents of the page to be transferred.
  • Copy
  • Select an empty page n the new docment.
  • Paste.


I don't have Pages 10, so can't test this.


Let me know what happens.


Regards,

Barry

What are you doing before "I am clicking Copy"


No one at this end of the pipe is there in the room with you.

We can't see what you are doing.

We can't see what your Mac does in response..


Go through the process one step at a time.

What action do you take?

What changes when you do that?


Pictures are sometimes useful (and can save a lot of typing.
