Opening a Pages Doc in ID CS3

We received a Pages doc that we need to open in ID CS3 to edit and prepare for printing - any good ideas that might help us in not having to pretty much start from scratch? Any plug-ins or work-arounds anyone has used?
Thanks in advance!
Peter

You will have to ask the originator to save out as MS Word file.

  • Why is Entourage opening my Pages docs and how do I fix it?

    I have a program called Entourage. Lately whenever I click on a Pages document to open it, Entourage launches and tries to open the Pages doc as an email attachment. I'd love it if when I clicked on a Pages document, Pages actually opened it and Entoruage would mind its own business.
    Any ideas?

  • Error message when opening transferred Pages docs

    I'm transferring Pages docs from my iPad mini to my 2007 iMac with Snow Leopard via iTunes.  After downloading them and when I try to open them I get the following error message "The required index.xml file could not be found".  Is there a fix for this?

    I strongly suspect you have a version problem.
    The current Pages version for your iPad is 2.2.1.  Hopefully you are using that version.
    Presumably you are trying to access this document using Pages on your Mac.  But your Mac's OS X version is likely too old to use the current Pages, which is 5.2.
    The way around this would be to use Pages from iCloud via Safari on your Mac.  Navigate to http://www.icloud.com on your Mac, find Pages there, open it, and access your document through the cloud.

  • Why can't I open my Pages doc on my desktop?

    I created a flyer last week and put it on my iMac desktop. I tried to open it this morning to print it out but a window came up saying I needed to update to the latest version of Pages. When I clicked Learn More, it took me to a page where I would have to buy it for $19.99. Yesterday I updated to the latest OS on my iPhone. I'm pretty sure it is synchronized with my Mac. Would that have screwed this up?
    My techie told me to check for more than one Pages in Applications but only one is there.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You have 2 versions of Pages (or Numbers, or Keynote) on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

  • Pages: How can I open a pages doc without having pages on a computer?

    I use my laptop (pages) for everything but I have a presentation that is due for a class and I cannot open my docs from a windows computer at school. Can someone please help me? Thanks tons.

    Em,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You need Pages in order to save a file that's been saved in Pages' native format. But you can export Pages documents to Word or PDF so that they can be opened on Windows computers. From within Pages, click on File > Export > Word (or PDF).

  • Cant open old page doc. on my MacBook Pro

    I work from my back-up (iMac 20) and will open page documents, the pop-up says to save this document first in page 09.
    Only how to do? Im working on my MacPro Book with  OS X Yosemite version: 10.10.1 and use the new page program from the Apple Store.
    On this moment I can't use the iMac 20 because it's by the apple store to repair.
    Thanks Rob

    So you are trying to open Pages '08 documents with Pages 5.5.2?
    Pages 5 won't open Pages '08 files, so you have to export them from Pages '08 to Word .doc/x that it can open.
    Or simply use Pages '08 on your new Mac.

  • Can't open old page docs in the 5.2 page

    Please, can anyone help me? I have few documents that I can't open in the new version of page 5.2. I try to open them and I got this message: the doc.pages-tef can't be open. Help?

    The tef file is an iCloud file.
    Maybe turn it off for a while and do something else before restarting it to give it time to reset.

  • Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still there but wont open, and i cant open my pages docs. Any ideas

    Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still on dock but wont open. Also I cant view my documents. Do I have to buy Pages from ITunes? Thankyou

    Good, use the disc. Also do the software updates. You can download from here http://www.apple.com/support/pages/
    and you don't need the Pages 4.1/ iWork 9.1 I downgraded from iWork 9.1 to iWork 9.0.5.

  • When I open a pages doc why does the text not show but the preview in Finder shows the text?

    Doc shows a blank page but shows the number of pages at the bottom and flickers the text when I click on Outline icon.

    In most cases it is because you have not updated Pages to the current version.

  • Snyc icloud to my pc(open a pages doc)

    I have created a doc. on my Ipad with pages, i wanted to view it on my PC. I have the Icloud control panel instilled on my PC but not sure how to retrieve it from icloud? I did save my work to the cloud.
    do i need pages on my pc?
    i have office 2007.

    This is a known problem, and not resolved yet I'm afraid.  Pages on the iPad has a lot of difficulty with tables and embedded pictures, although others report that simple letters format fine.  My wife has the same apps as you do and she's having the exact same problem with more complicated documents.

  • Can I open 09 pages docs with the new Pages?

    I'm noticing that documents created with Pages 9 cannot be opened on the latest Pages since the Mavericks updates. Is this happening to others? Isn't it general protocol that older versions can be opened on newer version of programs?

    Julia,
    I'm guessing that after opening a document with the new Pages 3.0, you may have inadvertently tried to open that document in the old version. To go back to the old verison requires that you export the document to the old format.

  • I have pages '9 - I have not upgraded to Mavrickes but need to be able to open up pages docs that are made in the latest version. It seems hard or inpossible to create compatable files forearlier versions. Is this true?

    I have a client who has the latest pages. They are telling me that they can't create a compatible file for earlier versions ('9). I have not upgraded to mavrickes and cannot downlosd the latest version of pages. Is this true...the latest isn't compatable with earlier versions?

    That's clients for you:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09

  • Open Pages doc from server by two persons !!!

    Hi,
    We have noticed that you can open a pages doc from a Apple MAcOS X Server from two diffrent persons, what wil result in not saving any data. Normal you CAN'T open a file that s already open ... !! This is a really big risk .. ?
    What to do about this .. ?

    This is a flaw that has existed since version 1 of Pages. My solution is to work locally and save globally (locked). It is a pain, I know, but it keeps multiple people from attempting to work on the same file at one time.

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • Pages docs "can't be opened"

    Whenever I try to open a Pages doc (either by double-clicking it, or by opening the files from within Pages) I'm told "filename can't be opened".
    I've done all software updates and am working on an MBP 13" retina, bought earlier this year.
    Anyone know what's going on please?

    I suspect you are trying to open Pages 5 files with the Pages '09 which probably is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and caused enormous compatibility problems across the many versions.

    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
