A recent pages document and email opened with a bunch of garbled lines about 1/4 high

I opened a recently saved pages doc 5o find it filled with lines about 1/4" high filled with bits of text & pics. Email screens have same thing! What could cause this? My ipad opens email just fine.
  Any advice would be appreciated

    Scanning this way is much faster than using my printer but having to save each individually defeats the purpose.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • Unable to open Pages document after emailing to colleague

    I need to send a Pages document to a work colleague, where the document must be in pages format (not pdf or other).
    We both use G4 powerbooks, latest tiger and iwork.
    But when I email the pages document (via apple mail), two odd things happen:
    - the file arrives at my colleague's email address in zip format, requiring unzipping...
    - the unzipped pages file cannot be opened in pages, instead an error message 'the document cannot be opened' is received.
    We've tried using apple mail, thunderbird, webmail, ... but to no avail.
    How can a Pages document be emailed, as a .pages file, and then opened by someone else?
    Guidance welcomed.

    RossM,
    Peggy explained why you need to zip Pages (and Keynote) documents. Mail.app tries to be smart an zips the files for you.
    I recall that I saw a zip attachment in earlier versions of Mail. Now I just see a Pages document icon. When I delete an e-mail with a Pages attachment, it shows up in Trash with a zip attachment.
    When I saved the zip attachment (testname.pages.zip) and unzipped it, some strange name appeared. I then simply removed the zip extension from testname.pages.zip and was able to open the file in Pages.
    I'm not sure if this behavior is specifically with 10.4.6 and Mail 2.0.7 but check your versions and try to rename the "zip" file.
    At least Peggy's suggestion to zip Pages documents before attaching them to an e-mail should work.

  • Long time to open Pages document and DocX

    I keep about 20 Pages documents open. Then, opening an existing Pages document takes 30-45 seconds, or longer sometimes.
    Need to stop the waiting.
    Regarding docx files. It takes :10 seconds for a document of text only to open. Much longer if there're images or anything other than text in the document.
    Is this a normal? If not, how can it be sped up?

    What Yvan is saying is that your open documents are stored on your relatively slow hard drive.
    AS you have more and more open with Pages perhaps having to refresh reflows as you edit them, it will get slower and slower.
    You can set your computer up with a very fast SSD Solid State Flash Drive or simply not open so many documents at one time.
    Alternatively use a fast text editor with better methods of work. I can't see why you need so many files open at one time, but you know best how you need to work.

  • Documents opened with Pages 5.0 not opening with Pages 09

    I just downloaded the new version of Pages 5.0, and I really don't like it, it makes taking notes in class harder for me, and I wanted to go back to the previous version, but the documents that I opened with Pages 5.0 I cannot open them anymore with the previous version of Pages. They're not documents that I created with Pages 5.0, I created them with the previous version.
    So I wanted to know if anyone can help me.

    Once you open and save older documents in Pages v5, they are now in a new Apple document format that is incompatible with the prior version of Pages. Pages v5 does have the ability to save documents in Pages ’09 v4 document format. Keeping track of document names by Pages version becomes enigmatic without a purposeful naming convention.
    If you had Pages ’09 v4.n in /Applications, it is now in /Applications/iWork, and you can still use it instead of Pages v5.

  • Can't open page documents and get The required index.xml file is missing

    I have “hundreds” of pages documents that were created with pre Pages 09 that will not open now that I have upgraded to Pages 09. In every case I get the error “The required index.xml file is missing“.
    I need a way to fix this or it will cost me many dollars since these files constitute legal backup for earlier federal jobs.
    Anyone out there that can help rather than telling me to open (which I can’t) and save in Pages 08 format!

    If a Pages '08 document doesn't open in Pages '09, the problem is not Pages '09, it's that the document is corrupted.
    I will be disconnected for a few days but if you may wait until tuesday 26th,
    on this day, send me a sample file.
    I will try to understand what is wrong with it.

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • All graphics in Pages document are now boxes with "?" question marks.  Help!!  Urgent!!

    Created a 150 page document on one computer with Pages 09 and saved to the desktop.  Put onto a flash drive and transferred to another computer.  Opened it with Pages 09, made modifications, and saved back onto the flash drive.  Transferred document to original computer, overwrote original file, and now all the graphics in the document have been replaced with boxes with a question mark inside it.  Went back to the document on the flash drive, it is the same way.  Opened the document on the "other" computer and it is the same way.  Have searched Support and the User Guide to find an answer and cannot.  This is a dissertation that has to mailed out like now.  How do we fix?

    I am just an end user like you so I don't know why. I have not heard about this problem before or I might have when people have tried just save on a server instead of their own computer. The person that just opened the document from the USB stick and saved back on should have first transferred the document to his/hers computer, then worked on it and saved it and THEN copy it over to the stick.
    Use CDs instead for transferring files or emails. That is much safer.
    Another thing some people has to learn it the hard way!

  • I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.

    I am doing a small project on dedicated web client where in user automatically logs in non-root user and Firefox automatically starts.
    I am using Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686 and Firefox 3.6.16.
    I have installed only Gnome in my computer with no Nautilus or other file browser on it.
    I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.
    Please guide me for this.

    First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
    Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
    As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
    Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
    So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
    Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
    If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
    I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

  • 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?
    If not, what is the alternative?
    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.

    This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.

  • One of my pages documents will not open. the others will

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any answers here. One  (only one) of my pages document will not open. The message says `the document couldn`t be opened` and there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it,  next to the message. I used this document this morning, no problem. Also, I checked other pages documents and there is no problem only with one.
    Kind regards,
    Thank you
