APA Style Template in Pages for Mac?

Does anyone know how to create an APA style Template in Pages for Mac?

Search for a Word APA template to your liking and open that in Pages.
The problem you will encounter with Pages 5.5.1 is that the List styles are fairly broken and require far more work than they should need.
If you have Pages '09, use that instaed.

Pages for Mac document can't be opened on Pages for Ipad?

If I create a doc with any of the templates availables in Pages for Mac (Mountain Lion, and stored on iCloud), shouldn't be possible to edit it in the Pages for iPad (IOS 7) version? It just says "Document can't be opened" or something like that.

When you create a document in iWork on the mac, a lot of formatting is lost when you save it to iCloud,
That is not true to my knowledge, as you can reopen the file from iCloud on the Mac without problem.
or you try to open it in iWork for iOS.
Again, where are you getting this from? My understanding is that formatting from OSX is retained but a degree of it can't be edited or created in iOS.

Where are you? Generally you can get phone support depending how and when you bought either your device or software.
Yes unfortunately Apple periodically makes statements that are not true and has been held to account by the consumer authorities. It has happened here in Australia and the EEC has done the same. Unfortunately it is based in the USA where in recent times corporations have not been held to account.

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via

Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

How may I open Pages '08 docs in Pages for Mac? Requires saving to Pages '09 which I don't have.

How may I open Pages '08 docs in Pages for Mac? Requires saving to Pages '09 which I don't have.

If you still have a working copy of Pages ’08, then save the Pages documents out as .doc Word files and open those in Pages v5.5.2. If you do not have a machine to run Pages '08 on, but still have the iWork '08 DVD, you can install that on Yosemite, and then update Pages '08 to version 3.0.3. Then export the Pages documents to Word. Or you can simply avoid using Pages v5.5.2 altogether, as it has a fraction of the capability found in Pages '08.

Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf

Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf. How can I make a pdf or JPEG retain the sharp edges and smooth shadows when I export?

The ColorSync filters control the conversion between color spaces of files on the Mac and are used when you export or print to pdf.
The ColorSync Utility is inside the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.
see Alternate ColorSync PDF filters.

Edit in Pages for Mac - Download from iCloud in Word format

Does anyone know if the following is a documented limitation?
Create a Pages document in Pages for iPad.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can download the document as a Word document. (Click on the document > click on the Download button > select "Word".)
Open the document in Pages for Mac.
Modify anything in the text and then Save the file.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can no longer download the document as a Word document. You can only download it as a Pages document.
(Steps 1 and 2 are not necessary to reproduce the problem. The limitation is there with a new dcument from Pages for Mac as well.)
Does anyone know if there is any easy work around or fix?
The quickest one I can think of is to open the document in Pages for Mac again and then export to Word. This is of course impossible if you are at a location where you do not have Pages for Mac.

Hi Barry,
I think we have not understood each other.
Step 3 is not opening a completely "foreign" document. It is opening a Pages document created by Pages on the iPad. But ok, let's call it "slightly foreign", as the formats between the Mac and iPad versions clearly are not identical.
I do not get what you mean by "first time". What I would like to do is to edit a file freely on iPad and Mac back and forth to my heart's content several times. That I can do. In the end, once I am done with the file, I would like to export it to Word from iCloud using Safari or another browser. That I cannot do.
This export would mean I can open the file on a Mac without Pages or on a Windows PC. It would also mean that I can have files on the iCloud, editable from iPad or Mac, but only accessed from Windows, when I sit at the PC and discover the need to get the latest version.
That export works fine for documents I create with Pages for iPad, but as soon as I touch them with Pages for Mac, they can no longer be exported to Word from Safari.
Regards
Magnus

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?

Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

No, the iWork apps are only available for the Mac. There are separate versions for iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) that are purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have an iCloud.com account there is iWork for iCloud that runs in a web browser, including web browsers on a PC. It is currently in beta & may not be available to all iCloud users yet.

HOW CAN I CHANGE FONT STYLE IN INDEX PAGE FOR IBA?

Hi
Is it possible to change the font style in INDEX page for iBA?
Naidu

NO. In the index page. I figured out that we can change the space and text formate.
I am preparing a bokk with 1 chapter and 13 section.
SO, in the index page it is showing like 1.1, 1.2.......1.10, 1.11 so on; on the left hand side and page numbers on the right hand side.
Can i take out the numbers on the left and have only the section name and page number?
If so how?

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

Label Templates or Software for Mac, Please. Avery software is no longer compatible.

Hi Guys:
Mac Book Pro OS 10.9.1 Maverick
Pages 09 and Pages 13
Avery no longer has downloadable software for Mac. I have gone back to using Pages 09 as the new one isn't great. Label templates have always been a weakness in the Mac soft ware. I did have third party software from Avery which doesn't work with either Mountain Lion or Maverick.
I contacted Avery and they have an online site where you can create labels. I have limited band width so not an option. They replied back and I quote,
"We can only recommend using Microsoft Word for MAC as anlternative if you are only able to go online for a limited time. This software has preset Avery templates available. For more inquireis with this software, kindly check with Microsoft."
I copied this directly from there email. I had a hard time not correcting the spelling errors.
If I wanted Microsoft Software I would have bought a PC not a Mac.
If anyone knows of any label software out there that is compatible with Maverick, Please advice. I sure hope so.
I create a lot of labels, less mailing more decorative. If there is no other option I will purchace office for Mac. I really would like to avoid that.
My other option is to get the border---guide settings {not the right terminology} from Avery and create my own. With this fancy computer of mine I shouldn't need to.
Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.

Label templates are pretty ubiquitous these days. Where is this data coming from? You generally need something that can conceptualize a database like this. Word can do that with its merge functionality. Apple Contacts has label printing built in. It all depends on the software you are using and where you are getting the data.

.pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
All versions of Pages are on latest release.
Messge reads:
Document can't be imported.
The file format is invalid.
I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
Thank you for any info!

I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
I'll update when I hear back.
Thanks!

How can I create a keyboard shortcut to export to pdf in Pages for Mac

Can anyone explain how to create a keyboard shortcut that works in pages?

Reluctant as I am to contradict Viking OS X, yes it is possible.
This is for Yosemite, it is slightly different in other versions of OS X.
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > + > Applications > Pages > Menu Title: PDF… > Keyboard Shortcut > hold down whatever combination you want > Add
As Viking says this won't choose Good, Better, Best but at least it gets you to that point. Unfortunately it always defaults to Good.
NB that PDF… has to be typed with ALL CAPS and the ellipsis is option ; or copy from here. It has to be literally what is in the menu.
You could make a more intelligent keyboard shortcut with 3rd party Apps like Spark [free] or QuicKeys or iKey or Shortcuts for Mac or Keyboard Maestro.

Templates in Word for Mac 2011

I'm still relatively new to the Apple Mac world, having been a PC/Windows user for many years previously.
In Word, I have created several personal templates but now I want to amend or even delete some of them.
With Word open, I can load the template, then make the changes. But when I try to save the file as a template, it says "a file with this name already exists" without offering the option to overwrite the earlier version (which you can do in Windows).
I've hunted high and low to try to find where the Mac stores the templates so that, maybe, I can do amendments and deletions there - but I still don't even know where Mac stores these files.
I posted a similar question over a week ago on the normally very responsive and helpful MS Office forums, but not had a response (probably because they're all Windows users).
Any ideas would be gratefully received!
G

I would recommend posting again in the Office for Mac Product Forums if no one is able to answer on this forum.
BTW when posting please include critical information such as what version of OS X you are using. You can update your profile by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right, then selecting Profile and completing the pertinent infomation. Without a complete profile you are making getting help more difficult for those trying to help you. Please include where you are located, that could be useful.
