Automate saving to .pages and .doc

Heya folks, i love pages as a word processor, but as a student i frequently have to email documents to windows pc's. Having to save as both .pages and .doc is ok and doesnt take much time but i wondered if it would be possible to automate this process?
so everytime i "save as" document it saves as both .pages and .doc (and updates both when saving as opposed to save as.) ?
Cheers.
Rowan

I retrieved the link searching for "save to doc" restricting the area to "Pages '08".

  • HT202879 Newest version of pages and .doc compatibility

    Will the newest version of pages in Mavericks open .doc documents created in Microsoft Office 2004? I was about to update my MacBook to Mavericks, and it says that Mavericks will no longer be compatible with Microsoft Office 2004. So instead, I was just going to buy Pages and open all of my .doc documents using that. Will this work?

    In another post, I mentioned that I tested Pages v5.0.1 opening Word documents created from August 1998, but not earlier.
    I work in an office space with mixed Macs and Windows machines. The Macs all use Office for Mac 2011. No Pages application is installed.
    Tom has good advice.

  • Pages and .doc/.docx

    I recently purchased Pages with the understanding that it would be able to open .doc/.docx files. I downloaded U-0090-01_P.doc from http://www.avery.com/avery/enus/Templates-%26-Software/Templates/Blank-Templates/Labels/Mailing/Shipping-Labe l-10-per-sheetMicrosoft-Word.htm?N=4294967205&refchannel=93551b34dcf4a110VgnVCM1000002118140aR CRD . When I open U-0090-01_P.doc with WORD it is a one page document. When I open it with Pages it is a two page document. Can anyone help me understand this? Thanks, Gary

    I gather the text at the bottom has spilled over?
    There is a discrepancy with how Microsoft measures the distance between lines of type, this may have caused it to just run a little long.
    If that is the case, select all and reduce the line spacing slightly to bring the text back onto 1 page.

  • Pages and .doc files - which is better?

    Hello one and all

  • Excel document is automatically converting to a word doc and won't open

    I Installed Microsoft Excel and Word 2007 onto my laptop. Since the, whenever I create an excel document and save the same, it saves as a Word doc and when trying to open the doc, an error message comes up. Why is the Excel doc automatically saving as a Word doc? How to correct this issue?

    Hi judyf73891847,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I'm not surprised that ExportPDF is having a hard time converting handwriting. One option is to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. Then, ExportPDF won't try to convert those elements into editable text. The only drawback to that is that you won't be able to edit those items when you open the converted document in Word.
    Best,

  • Transfering docs between pages and word

    I recently purchased a macbook air to finish writing a manuscript that I had been writing in word on my macbook pro.
    It was automatically transferred into pages and now I can't get it back into word.
    Help!

    Pages is not a MS Word clone, and does not work in the native .docx document format. Rather, it translates an opened Word document into the Pages document architecture. You are not guaranteed that this translation process, also used for export back to Word, will be accurate, or match the original Word content.
    If I recall, Microsoft relaxed their licensing, and you are allowed to install Office for Mac 2011 on up to five computers that you own. If it were me, I would work on that original MS Word .docx document exclusively in MS Word to avoid any unplanned Pages content anomalies that cost you time.

  • To send a document saved as pages

    Hallo everybody, I am a new user of mac and I would like to know if it is possible to send a document saved as Pages and not as .doc or Pdf with my mail. I tried to upload a document saved as Pages to my gmail...but it didn't work. Thanks.

    Navigate to your saved Pages document file and RIGHT-Click (or Ctrl-click) the file name. Select Compress from the menu that appears. This will create a Zip file. The .zip file will easily attach to your gmail message.
    Regards,

  • From pages on a mbp running 10.9.1, pages 5.0.1 does not sync automatically to iCloud after a doc is created and saved. I have rebooted and reset all devices.

    From pages on a mbp running 10.9.1, pages 5.0.1 does not sync automatically to iCloud after a doc is created and saved. I have rebooted and reset all devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What exactly do you mean by 'it doesn't save'.
    Does this mean it doesn't save at all, doesn't save to the iCloud folder or doesn't sync with other the devices or iCloud.com.

  • I saved a Pages doc yesterday and today I can't open it because I get a message that the doc is missing an index.xml file. Help!

    I saved a Pages doc yesterday and today I can't open it because I get a message that says "can't open doc because an index.xml file is missing."  Help!

    Pages v5 documents do not have an internal index.xml file. When you attempt to open one of these with the older Pages '09, you will get that dialog. Double-click the document icon, or right-click, and open with Pages v5 to access the document contents.

    Apple has changed the file formats and some online services are having trouble with them.

  • HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1.  I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

    I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08.  I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents.  I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first.  I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac.  Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

    You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
    Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
    Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

    On Lion 10.7.x you need to hold the CMD+r Keys insyead of notting from an Instsall Disc, but try that & step 3 onward...
    "Try Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
