HootOwl Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Is there a way to "copy" the Student Activity Pages from the Loom CD and paste into Word or some other application where I can then add lines of blank spaces before I print the sheets? My dd really struggled with keeping her Accountability Questions neatly organized last year, and I thought it would be so much easier if she could write her answers directly underneath the questions, instead of having to write them on another sheet of paper (often forgetting to write the questions first!). I've played and played with the select tool, and I can get the text copied, but when I place it in Word, it loses some of its formatting. I spend so much time trying to align it properly and to make it look "pretty" that I end up throwing in the towel and forgetting it all. I really like the look of the color bars across the top of the page and down the side and would love to keep that as well. I just don't want to spend hours (which I don't have!) editing a form that looks great the way it is, but just needing more writing space. I would so welcome a brilliant idea or two thrown my way! Thanks so much! Frantically planning TOG Year 2 for Dialectic dd and Upper Grammer ds, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I have the same problem, so I'd be interested to know if anyone has another solution. You could order the SAP packs from Lampstand just so dd has a copy. Although you probably already tried giving her a copy from the loom. I can't be bothered this year. I'll just be printing them exactly as they appear, or order the SAP packs myself. Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAutumnOak Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I tried this too (copying and pasting from the Loom) and I don't think they let you do it...If someone has figured it out we are all :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyP Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 You can copy and paste from the Loom section labeled Workbook_Contents. (at least in DE, I assume it is the same with Loom CD) BUT, you lose the layout, bullet points, etc. This is what you are struggling with, right? I have never tried so didn't realize until now.

ryyans Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes there is a way! I did it this year after reading this..http://web.mac.com/rivendellpress/Rivendell_Press/TOG_Workbooks/Entries/2009/6/20_Spiral_Workbooks.html I upload first to a PDF reader then from there to Windows office then made the changes..

HootOwl Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Can you give me more detail about what PDF reader you uploaded to? When I open the SAP, it appears to be in Adobe Reader format. Do you upload it to something else? Then how you do transfer it to Word? I followed the link you referenced (I have read the post before as well!), but I didn't see an example or explanation about how to reformat in Word. Sorry to be such a bother, but I didn't understand how you got from A to B! :001_huh: Thanks, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyans Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Well, Im not very computer savvy so I will try my best in explaining. :) First, I read this.http://www.ehow.com/how_5895056_convert-_pages-_pdf.html. I used nuance PDF reader. I uploaded the TOG student pages from a file. Then once the pages were on Nuance PDF reader I would high light what I wanted and then copy then go to Microsoft Office and paste. From there I would create the space between the questions then print. This is the free PDF reader I downloaded http://www.nuance.com/products/pdf-reader/index.htm Edited August 19, 2011 by ryyans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnandtinagilbert Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 In the DE Loom, scroll down and you'll see"Workbook Content Unit 1" etc. You can copy, cut paste from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootOwl Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thanks, Tina, but I only have the print version. I'm still trying to use the Nuance PDF reader and do a conversion. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a lot of steps. I'll report back when I have results! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
