How to export Outline to Apple Pages Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Does anybody know, how to transfer an OmniOutliner(Pro) document to Apple Pages and convert the Outline to paragraph styles?

Currently, what I have to do is:
- export to Word (HTML)
- save as Word document
- Open in Pages
- Save as Pages document

I'd like to skip the Word part, as I'd like to completely get around without MS Office.

Omni Outliner is alway the starting point for sketching the contents and setting up the structure of documents.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hans
 
Can pages do anything useful with the Rich Text Format export? I haven't used it myself, or I'd check. RTF is a pretty standard platform-independent text format.
 
No, Neither Pages, nor MS Word can do anything with the RTF-Format. They style the text correctly, but do not set style sheets.
 
Apple Pages '09 support outline writing mode!
But... I couldn't convert an OO document to Pages, or a Pages outline document to OO with styles.

Brian, please check new Pages '09 immediatery.
I would like to use OO cotinuously for thinking and planning.
 
I have the same problem. I'm actually "outlining" in Mindjet's Mind Manager, then using OmniOutliner as an intermediary step to try to get the info into Pages. I'd love to find a way to maintain the real structure instead ending up with a fake tabbed outline.
 
I believe then that you'll have to persuade Apple to open up the proprietary .pages format, or to do something to make its RTF reader more than minimally capable. The RTF reader is very limited, not handling footnotes, comments, images or the like in imported RTF documents.
 
xiamenese, I think that's inaccurate. Pages can read standard MS Word docs with outlines and maintain the outline structure in its Outline view. If it works for one it should work for the other. At the moment I'm trying to get ReadTree.app to work on my system (so far it doesn't seem to recognize Word). If it does eventually work, it should solve this problem.
