Can't Open My AppleWorks Document!!!
I created an apple works word document, and I had prevously saved it. After I spell checked it, it wouldn't let me save. I figured that I would just close it, then open it again, and see if that would do anything. When I went to open it again, it wouldnt let me!! Help!!!
That happened to me. This is what I did I went into to a saved document in appleworks and opened that way.

Can't open old AppleWorks files on new MacBook Pro w/Snow Leopard
Just bought a refurbished MacBook Pro, did the migration from my old (2 yrs) MacBook via FireWire. Many of the old application icons are not appearing in my Dock, just Question marks ???. When I click on a ?, it indicates the name of that app which was there on the old MacBook, but there's no icon & I can't open the app from there. I can't find my Adobe Reader app, & several others, on the hard drive. Maybe I can find a work around for those....
BUT - zillions of files in the old AppleWorks/ClarisWorks files open in sometimes unreadable text, with all formatting gone. I NEED these files!! Please help!!VDonkers wrote:
Thanks for your reply. When I try opening an AppleWorks documents with Pages as you suggested I get the message that the AppleWorks document is damaged.
Ahh...then it may actually be damaged. All of my old AppleWorks docs (word-processing docs) are opening just fine with Pages. On the other hand, if the AW doc is a drawing or database doc then Pages might not be able to open it. If the AW doc is a spreadsheet, it might open with Numbers.
Would you suggest that I use Migration Assistant to transfer my older files from my iMac to my MacBook (rather than using the thumb drive?) Will it ask me about overwriting files? My concern is that it may erase some changes to newer versions of documents that were on the thumb drive.
I do have the installation disk for my MacBook and all disks for the iMac.
No, If you still have your AppleWorks installation disk, I would suggest installing it and trying to open the 'damaged' docs that way. Later, if an item won't open in Pages but will open in AW, then resave it in AW as a generic format that Pages will open. In this way you can move these docs from the now unsupported AW and into Pages format. If we wait too long, we may not be able to install AW at some point in the future and then your old docs will be orphaned. -

AppleWorks ne peut pas fonctionner sur Mavericks, ou quelque chose de plus récent que Snow Leopard.
AppleWorks cannot run on Mavericks, or anything later than Snow Lepoard.
LibreOffice can open word processing documents and some Draw documents. The most recent version will open spreadsheets, with some limitations, otherwise only the older version of Numbers, not the one currently in the Mac App Store, will open them. Nothing will open database documents. -
HT202879 how can I open a Word document in Pages 09?
How can I open a Word document using Pages 09 please? I am trying to open Word documents from a CD using both trying to open in Pages, nd dragging and dropping into the Pages icon in the dock. It tells me, every time, thast the document cannot be opened.
What happens if you open it in TextEdit or LibreOffice [free]?
Does it open where you got it from?

How can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?
Does anyone know how can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?
You can save an AppleWorks word processing document as Word using File > Save As… You will need to add the .doc extension as AppleWorks won't do it for you.
If you don't see Word as an option in the file type drop-down menu you likely have moved the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder and/or deleted the support folders, especially the AppleWorks Essentials folder where the translators reside. -
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? -
Can you open a word document in pages 08
Quick question however stupid it is
can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
cheers
Message was edited by: Lama323The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

Hello, I am writing from Italy...HELP!!!!
I have this problem: I can't open three important documents because Pages crashes. I can't use Icloud (if these documents are not opened in Pages, Icloud does not download documents!!!).
I worked on these documents for months and now it is a disaster.
Please apple, new update is necessary.
How I can solve this problem?
I can't return to the previous version of Pages because it is impossible but this is the one solution that I have read in Internet.I haven't had this exact issue, so I can't tell you exactly how I fixed it, but I can give a couple of guesses that might help.
Definitely, if you haven't, restart the ipad by pressing and holding the power button on the top of the ipad until it turns off by itself, then wait a minute, then restart it. This has solved a ton of different random iPad issues for me. I'm not sure why, but when I first learned this trick, it was hold down the button on the front at the same time as the power button. For some reason, with iOS 6, this seems to do some kind of quick restart that doesn't turn off the device in the same way.
The only other thing, I can think of is to use a second iDevice to try to download the files. If you also have a second apple iPod touch, iphone or ipad, try to download the most recent version that has synced to that device. Then I'd export it via email so that I at least have a copy to work from, in case the issue with Pages doesn't get resolved.
Good luck! -
Can't open old Pages documents in new system
I bought a new MacBook Air with Maverick OS X 10.9.4, but now I can't open my old pages documents. What can I do? My old MacBook was pre 2008 so everything is iworks 08
The new version of iWork can only open iWork '09 documents. I had more than a few documents that I had to first open and save using iWork '09 before the newest version could be used.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?
Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

I can't open a pages document.
I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?
Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.

You do need to give more information. What version of Pages, what version of OS X, have you ever been able to open Pages documents, have you made any changes to your Mac? Please be specific with versions, don't just say "I have the latest." Our crystal balls don't work over the internet.
