Borders for pages document

I am trying to change the blue border on the school certificate. Where can I go for info on how to do this? I want to change the color as well as the design. It is so easy in Word to make neat borders for flyers but I am missing something in Pages. Feel pretty dumb!
Also am trying to make many borders like the one on the certificate. Where can I read up on how to do this?

Hi funlife
Welcome to the forum.
The border on the Classic certificate is a .pdf file which is locked and which would need to be edited in a drawing program where these things are created:

Mostly in Pages you just drag and drop in graphics, a bit easier than in Word.
To learn Pages you should start with the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu where there are also links to Apple's *video tutorials*.
You can also get further training here:

Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

Hi lmdavis72,
It looks like you can.
From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.

Forgotten password for Pages document

I have forgotten my password for a Pages document. Is there any way I can open the document? Even with the hint I cannot get it right.

Do you perhaps have a backup copy of the document from prior to when you set the password? Have you checied your Keychain.app records to see if there might be an entry for this document?

IOS & OSX Mt. Lion no longer synch for Pages documents

Pages on my mac no longer gets iOS-updated documents. Has cloud access been emasculated because of iWork in iCloud.com? Pages in ios and icloud.com works. Prior to Aug. 18, Pages on the Mac and ios worked just fine with cloud documants.

For iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Documents & Data off then back on.
For your Mac. Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

No QuickView for Pages documents?

I can't see it. Neither Coverflow shows the content nor QuickView is able to show it. How come? I thought Pages was an Apple product?

I am very disappointed that Leopard Quick Look cannot apparently handle documents or presentations from iWork 05. It seems ironic that I can have a Quick Look at my old Microsoft docs and Powerpoint files but not my old Apple ones.
Quick Look was one of the reasons I upgraded to Leopard so to find this major limitation is a real let down. I know that I can upgrade to iWork 08 but from the posts here it seems that if I then want QL to work on my older files I would have to open them and re-save them.
I would hope that Apple actually issue an update which will address this issue.

Maximum file size for Pages

What is the maximum file size recommended by Apple for Pages documents.
Yes this question was asked in 2009. However it was not answered.
It is not feasible to break a document into different files when the purpose is to submit a book for publication on CreateSpace, One PDF file must be submitted.
So, does anyone know the recommendation from Apple, because I cannot find it. Or, has anyone successfully worked with 400 MB files or larger (image intensive)?

You haven't said what version of Pages.
The question in 2009 would have been for Pages '09. It has problems with very large sizes. Where exactly the problems start probably has not so much to do with file size in Mbs as in layout complexity.
Going on experience here, I wouldn't cut Pages 5 that much slack, particularly as anything in a Pages 5 document is only good so long as you can still open it in Pages 5.2.

What is the maximum file size for Pages?

Hi,
What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
Thank you.

chessmagnet,
As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.

Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

Hi,
My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions). The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac. One question is how was the file created? On a mac or on the ipad?
At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format. This may explain some of your issues.

In Pages document, how do I search for word and view its frequency and page numbers in a sidebar?

I have a long document and I want to be able to search for certain key words and phrases, and then see how many times they appear in the document and exactly where. How do I conduct this sort of search and viewing? In the past, in Pages and Word, I've been able to view my "finds" in a sidebar but I can't figure out how to activate that service anymore.
Thanks!

Here is a word frequency concordance Automator Service that works in both versions of Pages. It does not present a page number reference. It is by descending count, and alphabetically, within the repetitive counts as shown in the image here. In any document, you select the text to process, then Menu > Application Name > Services > Frequency. The Service will open TextEdit with the n-pages of scrollable results. It is 16 pt Helvetica Neue for legibility.
Here is the code:
on run {input, parameters}
     try
          set mySelection to input as text
          set formatted_result to concordance(mySelection)
          if formatted_result is not null then
               set textHeading to "Word Frequency List"
               tell application "TextEdit"
               activate
                     set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:"Concordance"}
                     make new paragraph at beginning of text of NewDoc with data textHeading & return
                     make new paragraph at end of text of NewDoc with data formatted_result
                     tell text of NewDoc
                           set font to "Helvetica Neue"
                           set size to 16
                           set color of paragraph 1 to {0, 0, 65535}
                     end tell
                    end tell
          else
                    display dialog with title ¬
                     "No input selected" with icon stop ¬
                      giving up after 15
          end if
     on error errmsg number errnum
                display alert ¬
                           "AppleScript Error" message errmsg & "[" & errnum & "]" as critical ¬
                              giving up after 30
     end try
     return input
end run
on concordance(mySelection)
-- Use Ruby to count word frequency and alphabetically sort words
    set rb to ¬
    "selected = String.new\nfreqs = Hash.new(0)\nselected = ARGV.join(' ').gsub(/[,.]/, \"\")\n
     words = selected.split(/[^\\w-]+/)\nwords.each { |word| freqs[word] += 1 }\n
     freqs_sorted = freqs.sort do |a,b|\n\t
     a.last == b.last ? a.first <=> b.first : b.last <=> a.last\nend\n
     freqs_sorted.each { |k,v| printf \"[ %8s ]          %s\", v, k }"
    do shell script "/usr/bin/ruby -e " & rb's quoted form & space & mySelection's quoted form
end concordance
Launch /Applications/Automator and choose New Document, then click the Service icon, and then select the Choose button.
On the left, you will have a list of Libraries from which to choose workflow items. Find Library > Utilities. In the adjacent column, locate the Run Applescript workflow. Click on it, then drag and drop it in the large workflow window to your right.
At the top, you can select Service receives text in any application. Leave Output replaces selected text unchecked.
In your Run AppleScript workflow window, you will see AppleScript boilerplate. Click on it and press command+A, then backspace to delete this content. Copy and paste the above code into this Run AppleScript workflow window. Press the Run button in Automator's upper right corner. If (and it should) a TextEdit window pops up, you are good, and you want to press File > Save. A dialog box will pop-up where you can name your Service. I called my Frequency, you may wish to call it something else. Once you have save it, you can exit Automator. Services are deposited in yourlogin directory/Library/Services.
If you have a Pages document open with text, either select it, or command+a to select the entire document. Now, you select your Service via Pages > Services > Frequency. This will now pop-up a new TextEdit document with the results. If you want to save this new document, you must use option+File to Save as...

I have pages version 2.1 for the i pad. When I try to open pages documents on my mac it says You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have updated to the very latest Pages for mac version 4.3. Cant figure it out.

I have Pages version 2.1 for the i-pad. I have Pages on my Macbook, version 4.3. When I try to ipen a doc on my Mac it says I need a newer version to open this doc. There is no newer version. I need these docs in a bad way and cant get to them on the Mac. Any ideas?

IOS Pages 2.0 and 2.1 implement an entirely incompatible document format with Pages ’09 v4.3. It cannot open them, and you are then prompted to update to Pages v5+ which is compatible with your IOS Pages.
Unfortunately, updating to Pages v5+ is a bad thing, as it is a brand new application that has omitted over 90+ features from Pages ’09 v4.3. When you update to Pages v5+, it will move your old still functional version of the earlier Pages into /Applications/iWork. Aside from all the missing functionality, Pages v5+ will likely damage older documents that depend on specific Pages ’09 v4.3 features (including AppleScript and custom Templates).
Oh, by the way, the older and new Pages documents have the same filename extension (.pages) making document organization difficult without applying different tag colors to old and new documents.
We are recommending that users remain on their earlier Pages version. You may have to export documents from IOS Pages as Word .docx to avoid the OS X Pages update notice.

When I click on a saved document or spreadsheet, I get this message You need a newer version of Numbers to open this document. When I go Software update, there is no update for pages or numbers. can't purchase or update?

when I click on a saved document or spreadsheet, I get this message 'You need a newer version of Numbers to open this document'. When I go Software update, there is no update for pages or numbers. can't purchase or update?
Trying re-purchasing. won't let me. says to check for updates?
any suggestions

It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
