Can't open email document in Pages

I have a new iPad Mini and just downloaded the Pages app.  I want to open a word document from email, but when I tap the "arrow box" icon, I only get a choice to print, rather than an "Open in Pages" choice.  How can I fix this?

Have you used Pages on the iPad at all yet? Any documents in it at all? If not, create a test document. Anything at all.
Just tap the + sign in the upper left corner of the Pages app, create a document. Type anything in it. Then tap Documents in the upper left corner to go back to the documents view screen. Tap the home button to go to your home screen. Go to the mail app and try again.

  • I can't open my document on Page 09 (too old !), so what ?

    I can't open my documents on Page 09 (too old !), so what ?
    I just buy a new imac and grrrrr

    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, you must first open and resave them in Pages '09.
    Pages 5 may actually damage files opened from previous versions, proceed with caution and don'r save until you have checked them.
    Read the reviews of Pages 5, it is not an upgrade as such, much more a downgrade.

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

  • Can't open some documents in Pages on my macbook pro

    I'm running 10.8.5, when trying to open some documents in pages, some of docs are greyed out and will not open.  Many others are fine.  These are docs that are on the mac, not icloud.  Any suggestions on how to open these docs? I am running pages 09

    I figured it out.  Most of the documents that I could not open were PDF's, so when I went to Finder, they were all there and they were all available to open.

  • Can't open word document in pages

    Word document attached to email loading ca. 70% in Pages then pages closes down and can't get to open. Ideas?

    Open the email with the attached Word document again. Then tap on the attached document. A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says "Open in Pages. If this doesn't work, try shutting off your iPad and then wait  a minute or two and then turn it back on. Try to open the Word document again. Although I'm just speculating becuase, I have never had a problem opening a Word document in Pages and every time I open a Microsoft Word document in Pages, it just needs to change the font to a Pages- compatible font. I hope my solution works, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work.

  • Can I open existing documents in Pages on iPad

    I emailed a word document to myself from a windows computer. When I open it on my Mac Pro and iPad some of the alignments are distorted. I tried opening it in the Documents app on my iPad and it still looks distorted. Is this simply because I'm trying to open a word document on this non-word computer/iPad?  Is there a way to open this document, whether in an app or not, so that the word document looks like it does on the windows computer? And if I open it in Pages or Documents app, can I edit it to fix the issues?

    Yes you can open it in Pages. You can format it Pages as well. You can also save the document as a Word doc, PDF, Pages or an ePub file.
    I take it that you don't have Pages and are trying to make a decision on whether to plunk down the money for it or for another WP app.
    There are 6 preinstalled resume templates in the iOS pages app as well. I know that you have already gone to all of the work of setting up the resume in Word, but worst case scenario, you could always choose one of those.
    I am not trying to paint a picture of gloom here for you. There will always be some formatting issues going from a Word file to. Pages or any of the other WP iPad apps, but Pages should work just fine for your word processing needs. There are other apps that are supposedly even more compatible with Word files. Take a look here for more ideas.

  • How can I open email attachments in Pages?

    I am unable to open email attachments such as Word docs and PDFs in Pages. If I select them I get "open in mover lite." Until recently, when I selected them I could open in iBooks but that is no longer an option for me. I am not sure iBooks would help anyway!
    How can I open attachments in Pages?
    Thank you,
    Prea

    according to MS KB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
    That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • I can't open word document with pages

    I cant open word docuemtns with pages

    What version of Pages are you using? You may need to run Software Update (from the  menu).

  • Why can I open Word documents with Pages but can't open Pages documents with Pages? Oh, that's right, I have to PAY EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

    Sorry, this just upsets me.

    Heaven knows what you are talking about.
    I suppose you might, but probably don't, which is why you are huffing and puffing.
    Probably this is about Pages '08 not opening the later Pages '09. Given that Pages '09 introduced many features that Pages '08 didn't have, it is not too surprising.
    Remind me what it costs to buy Pages '09 from the M.A.S. to use on as many computers as you want.
    Also remind me what it costs for Ms Word, or even lunch. I'm sure you have blown more on a whim than you ever will on something as useful as Pages.

  • Can't open a document I was writing yesterday-alert says I need a newer version of pages, but I only updated it in August

    Can't open a document I was writing yesterday- alert says it needs a new version of pages, but I only updated it in August 2014. Help please!

    You have two versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages v5.2.2 in /Applications
    Pages ’09 v4 in /Applications/iWork ’09
    When you open a Pages ’09 document in the default Pages v5.2.2, it is converted to the latter exclusive, new document format, and is not directly backwards compatible with Pages ’09. You would have to use Export To > Pages ’09 in Pages v5.2.2.
    If Pages ’09 is running, with/without an open window — double-clicking a Pages v5.2.2 formatted document, or attempting to open said document with the Pages ’09 document chooser, will generate the dialog you saw. It really means you cannot open this newer document format with your older version of Pages. There is nothing to download, because the cause of this dialog is simply having Pages v5.2.2 installed.
    You can open actual Pages ’09 documents:
    Right-click, Open with > Pages (4.3)
    Via Pages ’09 document chooser
    Drag/drop Pages ’09 document on the Pages ’09 Dock icon
    Pages ’09 File > Open…
    Pages ’09 File > Open Recent >
