Can pages read a word 97 document?

I have a word 97 file on my flash drive. If I buy pages, will it be able to read it and print it out?

Beside any financial issues, you are wrong in some respects:
- Pages is intented to be a ral replacement for Word, and some features are better implemented than Word
- This advantage is counterbalanced by the obvious truth that import/export is NEVER, really NEVER perfect, disregarding the application you have in view. the consequence is that, when you deal with frequent imports/export from to Word, Pages is not a good solution.
Let us imagine that, person A in company X uses quark and exchanges files with person B in company Y, who uses InDesign. This may lead to something irrational, as each will complain that import/export puts problems. Of course, this is normal.
In fact, what would you expect from Pages? To perfectly import Word files and to perfectly export them? This is simply IMPOSSIBLE, I have no knowledge of a similar situation in this world of software developers. You may be unsatisfied with Pages. Very well, I have my observations too, but I would never send reproaches to Apple that they cannot deal with a perfect import/export from/to Word. As long as the two companies use different formats, situation cannot be otherwise. Let us be realistic and let us send Apple real, justified feedback.

All of a sudden my 3 year old macbook pro screen is blurred - I can hardly read the words - any ideas?

You likely didn't erase the ENTIRE drive of the later OS X operating system before installing Snow Leopard. You just targeted the Macintosh HD partition.
Try again, this time make sure to select the name and size of your boot drive at the top to catch the hidden EFI partition that's responsible for the splash screen at boot time (no screen = white)
It will take two reboots to reset the EFI again, so once Snow is installed and reboots, reboot again.

How can I convert my word perfect documents to mac?

how can I convert my word perfect documents to mac?

Hello fruhulda.
Before writting that, I checked the openOffice Save dialog.
And one more time, michaelfromrochester write about what he isn't aware.
The fact that abiwork open Wordperfect documents doesn't prove that openoffice doesn't.
The link posted by Tom claims that it does.
I repeat my request:
I wish to receive a sample file to check if the embedded importer really works.
About zamzar, I would never use an online service to translate/transcode an important document.

Is there any way to import word document and process like that above?
I have searched about this, and found out 'Jakarta POI' can access to word document but with many restrictions. (I heard it doesn't support word version 2003 and 97)
Can any one please answer this?
Thankx

I'm not really sure that java is the best language to use for this particular project. I haven't looked into writing a standalone application to do this sort of thing, but Microsoft Word has a built in VB editor that allows you to write scripts that will do this very simply, using Word's Document Object Model.
I would imagine the same sort of the thing could be done from a Stand-alone aplication as well, but you might need some libraries for reading the document and obtaining the object with the same model. I would look into Microsoft's .net solutions for this one. You might even be able to work out a solution in C++, C#, or even J# (which I understand is "similar" to java), if you don't know visual basic.
It is possible that there is a library out there that will read a Word Document, and create the appropriate Java object with the same object model, but I don't know where it can be found.
Anyway, if the option is available to you, take a look at Microsoft's .Net. You'll probably have more luck that way. Good Luck!

Can Pages for iOS do Outline Documents?

To all the folks with an iPad and Pages: does the iPad version:
- support editing outline documents?
- have ability to create new outline documents?
I do all my idea management in outlines, and really hope it's there.

It can. I too use outlining extensively for my work. I got my iPad today, and immediately downloaded iWork Pages to import and edit a MS Word file in outline form. It worked great, and conformed to the existing outline formatting. To create a new document, there are minimal but adequate options for outlining. You can create lists that are numbered or lettered, and the outlining will function automatically. You can either use a menu-based tabbing feature to adjust outline levels, or you can actually grab a line of text and drag it horizontally, and Pages will automatically adjust its outline level accordingly. Not as robust as Word, but it does work well!

How do make a watermark appear on each page in a word processing document?

I got a watermark to show up on my first page that says in a big font, "Draft copy". How do I go about having this appear on every page? I'm using the word processing mode of Pages.
Thank you.

PS,
Select your watermark and Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
If your document already has more than one Sections, you will have to Copy this object and paste it into each Section. Being a "Section Master" mean that it will appear on each page of the section you insert it into.

Will Pages read MS-Word docs?

HI..I am new to Mac/IWorks. Before I finalize my purchase I want to understand if iWorks programs will read/work with my MS-Office programs (word, excel and powerpoint). Also, if my iTunes library has been stored in a PC, will it export to a Mac? Thanks for any and ALL help!!
Signed
An excited newbie!

You'd want to check in the iTunes discussion for advice on that app. iWork (no "s") is fairly compatible with Office, and has lots to recommend it, but imports from and export to Office aren't 100% accurate, so you'll have to evaluate your particular needs. You can always use Office for Mac if necessary, or one of the free Office for mac clones.

Can't place MS Word 2007 Document in InDesign CS5 -- InDesign Crashes

I'm working in Windows Vista, trying to place an MS Word document that has had the "track changes" feature turned on. InDesign starts to process the fonts, etc., and then it stops working. Is my problem the "track changes" feature? Is the Word file corrupted? Do I have a workaround?

Anything is possible, but you'll get much better answers on the product specific forums for inDesign, so please ask your question again there.

So it is serial. This makes it hard to know when the "word" starts....
If you manage to determine a start condition for the "word", it is simple a series of Highs and Lows which has to be analyzed by your software.
You should acquire the data with a buffered method (either finite or continuous which is hardware timed).
hope this helps,

Can't read Appleworks documents

Great--I just got a new computer (minus Appleworks) How can I read .cwk documents? Are they just toast?
I just downloaded iMovie HD so I can use it in addition to iMovie 08. Can I download Appleworks to use it to open old stuff?
Is there any applications I can use? Most of my documents are word processing.

No, you can't download AppleWorks legally. You will need to purchase it. But, AppleWorks 6.2.4 & 6.2.9 run very well on all Macs running OS X, including Leopard.
Pages, part of iWork, can open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. Also, AppleWorks 6 spreadsheets & presentations can be opened by Numbers & Keynote, the other applications in iWork '08.

Hi sdammer.
You can visit www.Adobe.com/exportpdf login with your Adobe Id and password.
Then go to file tab at the top left corner and you should be able to see your documents.

POI Reading Microsoft Word 2003 docs

Anybody having success reading Microsoft Word 2003 documents using POI? I just tried it for the first time today. I've got a compound document with lots of pages and an embedded Excel spreadsheet. POI found seven DocumentEntries, but the bytes I extract are gibberish when I print them. Any advice? Thanks - %

The WordDocument that once was part of POI no longer appears.
I have been able to get something out of POI, but it's not 100% useable. So I went and downloaded OpenOffice.org's SDK. I think it's even more convoluted and unusable.

Read a Word/Excel doc and convert to PDF

Can any one suggest a way or source to read a word/excel document and convert it to an PDF.. using Java
Thanks,
Satya

Parse the Excel document with the Apache POI API and generate a PDF document with the Apache FOP API.

Adobe reader displays a *.pdf document perfectly ...

... it also send's it to the printer (page by page),
at the very end it 'pretends' the printer isn't connected (but it IS. i printed eMails and text-documents the minute before). see the error message in -> http://picasaweb.google.com/ggamauf/MeineAdobeSetup#5532446101589409618
i'd be glad if somebody had and solved the same problem.
i'll happily supply details if required.

I believe your looking for the <input type="file" tag to read a file from the user's browser to the servlet. There are examples of this on line. POI is used after the file is read into the servlet to extract its information.
