I've recently bought iWork as I just really liked the look, feel and ease of use of it but in saying that I'm now having a problem that I can't resolve.
I've created two documents from two separate templates but I want to merge them into one document. In M$ Word I could just select all and paste into a new page but if I do that in Pages all that happens is that the text takes on the formatting of the template I'm pasting into. For example:
Document 1 is based on a 3 column layout whilst Document 2 is based on a 1 column layout. If I select Document 2 and paste it into Document 1 then it carries on in a 3 column layout. If I then change it to a single column layout it alters the original Document 1 layout as well!! Also there is some text in the header of Document 2 that isnt selected when I do a Select All command.
So how can I insert Document 2 into the end of Document 1 so that it retains all it's layout and styles etc?
