How can I open a word document in pages?

I want to open documents created in Word for Mac in Pages on my iPad.

I was going to say. “very carefully.” You can drag and drop a compatible file onto the Pages dock icon. Depending on what that MS Word content contains, Pages may pop a warning dialog about the document's contents, and the option to view the associated warnings.

Can you open a word document in pages 08

Quick question however stupid it is
can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?

The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

Can't open a Word document in Pages '09

Alright...I have tried to search the forum to see if someone is having the same problem but I haven't seen any. I cannot open a word document in pages. at all. Just says "The document “filename.doc” couldn’t be opened."
Any suggestions?

This was one of the first symptoms of "un-updated" Pages in Snow Leopard. Once again, here are the two things you may not have done that fix quite a few problems in Snow Leopard.
First, use the Mac OS 10.6.3 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

How can I open a word document in C++ with a CNiWordApplication object?

Hello,
For an application, i need to open a word document using VisualC++ and CNiWord classes (CNiWordApplication, CNiWordDocument...). I successed to create a new CNiWordDocument with the CNiWordApplication CreateDocument() function. But when using the OpenDocument() I have error message about violation error. Must I create another objet before calling the OpenDocument() function? Is it possible to have an example of code to open a word document?
Thank you for your help.

I tried the following code to open a doc file in an MFC application.
CNiWordApplication word;
CNiWordDocument doc = word.OpenDocument("c:\\books.doc");
This worked fine for me. I tried this with Word 2003 and Measurement Studio 7.1
Try running one of the shipping examples. You can find examples for this under ..\MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\Office\
Hope this helps.

How can i open encrypted word documents and still be able to edit?

I need to open encrypted word documents at my work to edit reports which are sensitive in nature, then be able to send them back to colleagues encrypted. I would like to do this all on my iPad. Are there specific apps I can download to be able to do this? Right now I'm using Google Drive for documents online and would like to be able to utilize this.

You can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.

How do I open a word document in pages

I brought a document created at work on microsoft word home and am trying to work with it on my mac using pages. But when I open it a lot of the form is in disarray and I can't work with it. Is there a way to open a word doument in pages without losing so much text? I am a new mac user.

Pages does not do Enter fields for forms so it sounds like those are simply being converted to some other space.

How can I open a word-document in word?

I want to have a link in my java-program to a word-document, but I don't know how to open the document in word from java.

If you are using windows and word is set up as the associated program for doc files, you could use a runtime process to open it. To find the correct syntax, try to open the document through the command line and then use that command.

How can Tiger open Microsoft Word documents sent by e-mail?

I recently upgraded to Tiger and use Appleworks 6, which is unable to read the Microsoft Word documents I frequently receive by e-mail. Is there any way I could read such documents, or should I get Microsoft Word? If so, which number/level would you advise? (I'm happy with Appleworks.)

Do the problematic Word attachments end in ".doc" or in ".docx"?
Neither AppleWorks 6 nor TextEdit will handle Microsoft's marketing-driven "improved" file format used in Mac Office 2008 / Windows Office 2007 (which is almost-but-not-really based on XML). There's a backwards-compatible option in those versions of Word to "Save As" Word 97 -2004 format (.doc). The practical solution where I work is to track down anyone sending .docx and threaten them with grievous bodily harm unless they resend as .doc and swear to never use .docx again.
Microsoft has a converter that (allegedly) converts the new format to the vastly more common one, but that requires a previous copy of Office (Office 2004 or Office X).
You can try the Mac OS X Dashboard widget DocX Converter instead.

Can i open microsoft word documents in pages?

I need a word processor for college and if i can use pages instead of word then i can save a whole lot of money.

Hi Rich,
If your instructors want you to turn in assignments in Word format, then I'd advise you to get Word. If your work will be Printed or used in PDF format, Pages will do nicely. It's not that you can't export to Word from Pages, it's that you don't need the hassles of semi-accurate conversions.
If money is a big concern, you can install one of the free clones of Office. LibreOffice is generally well regarded for this purpose.

Use Office for Mac 2011. If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
You'd have to open your Word file in Apple's Pages and save it to iCloud from there.
