Can you open microsoft windows documents with the pages app?

I am a new Mac user and i am considering downloading pages. On my PC i use Microsoft word and i was wondering if anyone knew if i transferred these files onto my Mac could i open them in Pages?
Thanks

Jo,
Give it a try. It should work. That's what the free iWork trial period is for. Not sure if the Mac App Store has a free trial, so indeed, you'll want to look for the normal download.

  • Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?

    Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?

    I don't use Bootcamp.  However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
    So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine.

  • I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Any suggestions?

    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!!

  • Can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US

    Since this a Windows tablet, can you use external hard drives with the HP Omni 10 5600US?
    I know there is a micro-sd reader for additional storage but can you use the usb for external hard drives like a regular pc?
    I tried looking at the spec's for this tablet and it said the usb port was host only. I'm not sure what that means exactly.

    Yes you can.  You'll need to purchase a USB OTG (on-the-go) cable.  I recommend using a drive that has its own power supply but I've successfully used small USB powered drives also.

  • 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

    The 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.

  • Why does selecting a web link open 2 windows, one with the link and the other the home page? This is a single click of the mouse.

    When I single click on a weblink (usually in an email, Firefox starts up and opens two windows; one with the selected web page and one with my home page. If Firefox is running, it opens a new tab which is what normally occurs. It is only when it is not open that I now get the 2 windows. I have an imac running OSX 10.6.3
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == In the past couple of weeks.

    Hi,
    The rolling over from radius servers only occurs on the same wlan and only when the controller deems the radius server being dead. However, if you get rejected from one WLAN but then you reassociate to another WLAN there is no mechanism in place in rejecting the attempt because they previously failed on a seperate wlan. This happens all the time with users connecting on incorrect wlans.
    The failover feature is for when you have multiple servers (usually for redundancy) on the same WLAN. So when user is rejected but radius server 1 the process stops there and the request isnt sent to radius server 2.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can you download and read books with the iPad?

    Can you download and read books with the iPad?

    Yes. There is the free iBooks app  which then allows you to download books from Apple's book store. Kindle also has an app and there are other e-reader apps.
    The one thing to consider, the iPad is a backlit screen, so it's like reading off a comptuer screen. Some have issues with eye strain so just bear that in mind.

  • I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

    I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

  • I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • How do you attach/email more than one document from the pages app?

    How do you send more than one document from the pages app on an iPad?

    This is entirely frustrating and I have yet to find an answer for this question even though people have been asking it on the internet for over a year!
    I am relatively new to apple and I was considering staying with them for my next iphone because of my apps, but after paying for this app and discovering I can't email more than one document "page" at a time? This makes no sense. Please fix this apple, I'd like to say you have replaced my tablet PC for home-office work but now I am reconsidering...

  • I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.
