Microsoft word format

I am starting grad school this fall and will have many papers in APA format. Is pages compatabile with this? And when i send other people my papers from pages, it wont change format correct?

If you want to be absolutely sure your papers are seen by the recipient as you created them you will have to use the exact same program the recipient does. That usually means some version of Office on a PC.
Translation from one program to another, even on the same platform, will never be 100% perfect. Your best option if you choose to use Pages on a Mac would be to export the document as a PDF & send that. Also, remember that only someone with Pages on a Mac can open Pages documents.
I'm not sure exactly what APA format entails as I never had to use it, but Pages is as flexible as any word processor. I do believe there are some user-contributed APA templates for Pages on iWorkCommunity.com. You also can open Word templates in Pages & use them.

  • My pages is showing error while opening a document in microsoft word format. Please help

    While trying to open documents in microsoft word format, pages is showing an error. It is unable to complete the task and is requesting me to reopen pages but then no response. However I am able to work on pages format. Please help.
    thanks

    When you open a Word document in Pages, it is translated into the internal .pages document format — and you are no longer working in the original Word document format. This translation also occurs in reverse when exporting a document back to Word. When you open a Word document in Pages, if it has issues with the translation (missing font characteristics, other issues), it will open a warning dialog box and display these issues for you.
    If however, you prefer to always work in the native Word document format, and not risk translation issues, then you should be using MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 with the latest update.

  • Does mac computers come with microsoft  word format for typing documents my professor only accepts this.

    where do i find microsoft word on this mac computer?

    If you need Word, buy it from Microsoft. There is probably a student discount.
    You don't need Word or any Microsoft bloatware to read and save Word - readable documents.
    There are better alternatives, such as Apple's Pages. It will read and save Word formats.
    It's $20. If that's $20 too much you can use OpenOffice (free) or NeoOffice (free). All read and save Word documents.

  • Documents in Microsoft Word format

    Appleworks would be wonderful if it was just easy to read and save documents in Word format, or spreadsheets in Excel format. Are there any plans to add this capability that anyone is aware of?

    It would be equally wonderful if Word or Excel would allow users to save in (and open) the AppleWorks format. While Word or Excel will never do that, your AppleWorks does have the capability -- I've been sending AW spreadsheets as Excel documents to Windows™ users for years. Older versions of AppleWorks (and ClarisWorks) have included translators accessible from the "Save As..." dialog.
    Can you be a little more specific about the problem you are encountering? If your version of AW lacks the "Save As..." options, you might have to consider acquiring the MacLinkPlus translators.

  • Canon Printer MG5420. How can I save a scanned document in the Word format?

    I can only find the option to save scanned documents in the PDF format. I want to know if there is a way to save in Word. Can anyone help me? Canon Printer MXZ5420.

    Hello Yvonne.
    Specialized OCR software may be needed in order to save files directly to Microsoft Word format.  Our software does not have this capability.
    If you are attempting to scan a basic, text-only document.  You can use our IJ Scan Utility to scan and make adjustments.
     1.  Start, point to (All) Programs, Canon Utilities and then open the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
     2.  Click 'Settings' on the lower right corner.
     3.  Click 'Document Scan' on the left.
     4.  Under 'Application Settings' on the right, select 'Start (OCR)' and choose 'Canon My Image Garden' in the menu.
     5.  Click OK.
     6.  In the IJ Scan Utility, click 'Document'.
    When scanning is completed, Notepad will open and you will be able to edit and save your document.

  • Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

    Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as

    Hi,
    I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
    Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
    1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
    2.  Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked. 
    3. Click the Settings button next to this option
    4. Make sure that Smart Style
    Behavior is checked.
    If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

  • If I have a document in Microsoft word but now have on the Mac and the format is completely off.  How can I get this to be right on the mac

    I need Help with my Mac. We have a document that is on a thumb drive that was typed on a dell PC.  We have a Mac at home and need to print the document.  How do I get it to look the same as when on Microsoft word?

    try NeoOffice or OpenOffice. I don't know what apps you have. Pages might open it or TextEdit, but, again, I don't know. All I can do is suggest. If you are really a stickler for format,  if you're on that dell PC again, try saving the document as a .pdf and then putting it on the thumb drive.

  • How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements. 
    I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
    aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers.  We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
    the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried  creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue.  The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
    the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?  
    If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
    Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
    Option 1:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Display the ruler.
    - Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
    - Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
    Option 2:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
    - Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
    - Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
    - Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
    - Click Set.
    - Click OK.
    You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • Formatting Numbers with BPC NW 10.0 SP19 1 in Microsoft Word & PowerPoint 2010

    Dear BPC Experts,
    We are trying to use the BPC Add-in for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint; however, we cannot figure out how to get the numbers in a report properly formatted.
    I created a report directly in Word:
    Then, on the EPM Ribbon I attempted to go to Options>Document Options and use the Formatting tab Number Format field and received the popup:
    Error details:
    I Copied a report from the Excel Add-in Report Actions>Copy Report to PowerPoint Report Actions>Paste Report but the number formatting is lost and I get the same error as with Word if I attempt to use Options>Presentation Options.
    Any assistance with number formatting with the Word or PowerPoint Add-ins would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Lisa

    Hello Lisa,
    Its simply saying that the both formats are different so its unable to apply the formatting.
    in order to apply formatting in Word we have a special tab Design.
    first create a report and then next go to design tab and choose any one of the default formatting table.
    the formatting should be vary dynamically. please see the below images as reference.
    Before formatting report looks like this
    After Formatting by using design tab
    Dynamic expansion
    I feel its little bit difficult when compared to excel...

  • Converting from Microsoft Word to Pages and removing formatting

    I have a huge document in Word that needs serious text editing.  I need to remove the formatting and do a simple text edit in Pages. I am relatively new to mac and am on a steep learning curve after 15 years in Microsoft Word and before that Corel! I think I am complicating the issue unnecessarily - I hope someone can give me some simple guidance.

    Probably the fastest and surest way is to open the Word file in TextEdit:
    Menu > Format > Make Plain Text > Save > Unicode UTF (.txt)
    Then Copy and Paste that into Pages or:
    Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to .txt file
