[Finale] OT: getting data from MacOS 9.1 to 10.4.9

2007-04-09 Thread Brian Williams
For all you Mac gurus out there, How can I simply transfer files from an old (non-USB, non-CD burning) MacOS 9.1 computer to a newer MacOS 10.4.9 computer using AppleTalk (or otherwise), short of re-installing OS 10.4.8 on the newer computer from the ground up? This was possible when the newer co

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

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 thi

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. You

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
