Pages and .docx documents

im having trouble opening .docx attachments and since my entire faculty insist on using this format, this has become a big issue for me. is there an updates version of pages that can open these attachments. one prof swears that her bf's mac opens these attachments and hes running pages, but she wasnt sure which version. if pages absolutely wont open them then i'll need a new program and i need suggestions.
thanks

You are not telling what problems you encounter when trying to open the .docx files, error message or what. Which Pages update version do you have? You should have 9.0.5 if you are running Leopard on your computer. Latest update for Leopard is 10.5.8.
Do you do any maintenance on your computer? Repair permissions, restating the computer etc.?

    There's a couple of ways but my tip backing up your documents in the cloud is as good as any.

  • Should Pages and Keynote documents sync in the background?

    I am using iCloud to sync Pages and Keynote documents between my iPhone and iPad. The documents sync fine when the apps are open but I was wondering if these changes are supposed to be pushed when the apps are closed. This way, when I disconnect say on the subway, the files are there and up to date. I can't seem to find an answer. If i recall documents used to push when the apps were closed but now they don't. Any advice on how I can remedy? Photo stream and Reminders are syncing in the background.

    How can you be sure that reminders and calendars sync in the background, events/reminders will take up perhaps just a few kB and can transfer in fractions of a second after opening the calendar, documents may well be several MB or more and are more obvious if you are looking when you open an app.

  • How do I convert Pages to .docx documents. All I get is Word 97.

    For some reason, my employer insists that in order to upload stories that appear in her bi-weekly tabloid, the manuscripts must be in .docx and nothing else. She is adamant. I use Mac OS 10.8.3 (Lion) and Pages 4.3. When I convert it to a Word document, it converts to Word 97. Is there any way in which Pages will convert to .docx?

    Hi Herb,
    " It is my hope that I will be able to convert documents from Pages into .docx."
    You will. It will be a two stage conversion, though: Export the Pages document of Word (.doc) format, Open that document in Libre office, then save it as .docx.
    Keep an eye out for formatting issues. Translations are not perfect.

  • Pages and Number documents are blank

    I believe this was a problem earlier for others, but any Pages or Numbers document I open appears to be blank. The data is still there, so I can select a cell in Numbers and the contents are still shown in the bar above, but no text, images or rules are shown in the page.
    This is a huge issue - most of my business proposals are Pages docs.
    Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
    Mac OS X (10.6.7), iWork '09 (Pages 4.04 and Numbers 2.05)

    In addition to using the combo update for Snow Leopard, you should have the iWork apps updated to 9.0.5. I'm not sure how you updated Numbers without updating Pages as well.

  • HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

    I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

    You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.

  • Downloaded pages and all documents are in Latin or French. Language setting is on English. How do I switch everything to English?

    Just got a new iPad Air -downloaded "pages" even though the language setting is defaulted to English, all the templates are written in either Latin or French. The headings are in English - no the body content? I have deleted the app and downloaded it a second time with the same results?? I would really like all the data to be in English.

    It is placeholder text in Latin. You have to replace it with your own text. Placeholder text is for giving you an idea on what the document will look like.

  • Pages and Transferring Documents

    Hello,
    I'm looking for the easiest way to transfer documents from Pages on my MacBook Pro to Pages on my iPad. Suggestions?

    Take a look at the DropBox app in the app store...

  • Is there any way i can keep pages documents and numbers documents in the same file?

    Im trying to group pages and numbers documents in the same file is this possible?

    Not on the iPad itself, no. iOS apps keep their documents within each app itself. You would need to save the documents to a WebDAV server. Dropbox can serve this function if partnered with DropDAV. See:

  • How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
    It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

  • Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite

    One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications.  I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save.  However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully.  Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive.  I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect.  I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
    Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue?  Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring?  Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
    Thanks in advance.
    Jon

    Found a solution, but it is odd:
    On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
    Go figure ...
    Hope that this helps someone else.

  • Mail merge in PAGES and NUMBERS has GONE!

    A while ago I painstakingly moved data and documents from Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac to Numbers and from Word to Pages. I have been using Numbers for data lists and Pages for Mailmerge documents successfully since 2011.
    With the latest "update" to Pages and Numbers, I thought I would see improved software and performance. What I got was a downgrade in functionality.
    * Pages no longer supports mail merge
    ** Pages documents with mail merge fields are corrupted on opening them with the new version - SAVE THE ORIGINAL FIRST !
    * Numbers documents can no longer be used with the previous version of Pages to perform a mail merge - the headers are not being recognised!
    WORK AROUND
    Don't use the new Pages or Numbers.
    Keep your old Pages and Numbers documents in a safe folder.
    Use the prior versions of Pages and Numbers for mail merging (HOPEFULLY APPLE READS THIS AND PUTS MAIL MERGE BACK IN THE NEXT FIX)
    It is possible to maintain Numbers documents using the new version. This however necessitates saving your modified Numbers document in the old format (Save As...) before using it with the prior Pages version.
    @APPLE: PLEASE RECOGNISE THIS MAJOR PLANNING ERROR ON YOUR PART AND GIVE US THE FUNCTIONALITY BACK ASAP !!!

    I agree with Peter. This is NOT a forum for filing complaints directed at Apple. They do make that clear.
    Paul, I suggest you channel your frustration toward Apple at their Product Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Lost al .pages and .numbers docs , iphoto and office programs won't open after changing: auto startup in: startup with password. all personal settings are also gone

    After i changed this setting: autologin. into login with password i restarted the computer.
    it started up with a blank personal surrounding. also my .pages and .numbers documents were gone, personal settings gone, iphoto won't open and office programs wo'nt open.
    in finder i can find several .doc documents and i can see that all my pictures are still on the system, But i can't open them.
    i was so stupid not to use time machine. But is there way to recover the system with my documents or something??
    please help.
    System Imac i5 intel 21.5 inch
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

    Nope, without any backup they're probably gone for good. If you want you can purchase some data recovery software such as Data Rescue. I hope this may be a lesson why it's critical to backup your system, Time Machine is a good place to start.
    BTW when posting please use proper grammar, it's difficult to read a post when no caps are used.
    Good luck!

  • Pages iOS says document unavailable

    Dear all,
    I recently created a document in pages for iOS on my ipad 2 on a cross-country flight. I just tried to access the document on my iPad 2 in pages and the document is unavailable with a message that an internet connection is required.
    I'm figuring this has something to do with having iCloud enabled, but I am trying to open the document on the device on which I created it - and I was ona. Flight with no wifi, so I had airplane mode enabled on the device.
    Any hints on what I can do to retrieve my document? I spent five hours working on it...
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    This is a problem with icloud, DO NOT TURN ICLOUD OFF YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR WORK.
    This problem can not be fixed at the moment. Your work is lost until apple undates icloud to be fully funtional with Pages. You can restart, if you remember what you did. But as for recovering your work.... not possable.
    Yes this is sad, but use it for reference to TURN OFF ICLOUD when makeing a document if you don't have a 3G device.
    Sorry about your Work,
    Jordan

  • All of a sudden, I can't export Pages or Numbers documents to a PDF

    I've been able to export all of my pages and numbers documents to PDF with no issues.  Now, all of a sudden it's giving me an error message and saying that I can not.

    The icons wouldn't even show on the device if they were restricted. Try downloading an app on the computer and syncing it over onto the iPad to see if that makes it works. If not, I'd likely recommend restoring as it would look like a software issue with the device.
