[Finale] Split Measure plugin

Hi Jef, Between doesn't work like Between X pt. and Y pt. -- there's only one input box, and the between value refers to the extra space between lines (e.g., 0.5 pt or -3 pt. But that space is still dependent on the overall height of the font. There is simply no way to tell Pages I'm

That would be a killer for me too. But while we're on the subject, can Pages import eps files? I saw other formats mentioned, tiff, pdf and so forth, but no mention of eps. JR On 4/9/07 11:45 AM, shirling neueweise [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks darcy, i checked out the demo and tried to

I'm in Pages (not Pages 2), but I just saved a document from Finale (2007c) from the fine menu and chose compile post script listing. I kept the default option to save fonts or what ever that is. The resulting file (with a ps extension) was converted into a PDF when I just dragged it into

Thanks Dick, but that doesn't really answer it. There's a big difference between a .ps file and an .eps file. To make an eps you would be in the graphics tool. Choose Export Pages, select eps as the type, select Include PICT preview, and save the page(s). Each page would be a separate eps file.

To answer the question: If you export an EPS file from Finale, you can import it directly into Pages using cmd-shift-V (the shortcut for placing graphic files), but Pages will internally convert the EPS to PDF format before placing it in the document. I personally have no problem with

Pages doesn't share any code with AppleWorks. It was built fresh from the ground up. It's not very much like a standard word processor at all. It's much more like a stripped-down, more user-friendly version of InDesign. (For instance, they *really* try to force you to use Styles instead of
