Cannot enter anything on new Pages document , Can open, edit existing pages docs

Peculiar.
New Imac 21. inch with IWork installed at Apple Store (1:1 setup). Pages worked fine for a couple of weeks
This week, open fresh document trom template chooser. clean document opens but cannot type on it
Can open existing pages document and work with it.
Can open word or applework documents, work with them and a save as pages document which is workable
It is just the fresh documents
Is the problem the template? IF so, how do I replace the template?

Thanks, VIking but I do not think I used the Template instead of WP
I went to New and cnose a Blank document in Portrait orientation.
Cannot directly type on it
If I first insert a shape, without fill color, I can then write on the document and save it
The issue seems to be the BLANK document
Frankly,I saw this issue on my uncle's new computer, he is new to pages, mourning the loss of Appleworks and was terribly upset when he tried to write a new document choosing Blank and found he could not write on it
He has a vanilla new iMac with nothing on it which might cause a problem
I just replicated the issue on my own Retina display MBP .
"Blank" does not allow input of direct typing.

I can't edit existing Word docs

I can't edit existing Word docs with *any* of the five Word-processing apps I downloaded (free). I can edit documents I started on my ipad, but not on my computer. I can view them just fine though. Is there an app that lets me edit existing docs, which I've transferred from pc? Or, is my ipad 2 broken?

Have a look at the following:

There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
1) In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
2) Turn on calendars on the same page.
You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync. Do they no long sync?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

In a pages document can I copy a ruler and apply it to text elsewhere in the document

While working in a pages document can I copy a ruler and apply it to text elsewhere in the document? I'm using Pages '09, Version 4.1 (923), on a MacBookPro with OS X, version 10.6.8. I've tried pages help, but I haven't found an answer to this question.

click in the text you wish to copy from > Menu > Format > Copy Paragraph style > click in the text you wish to copy to > Paste Paragraph Style
The keyboard shortcuts are option command c and option command v
You can also Copy/Paste Character Styles.
Better to create real Styles in the Styles Drawer. Using the above method is slower and will lead to inconsistent styles that you can not universally correct or change.

These issues are usually caused by firewalls. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word?

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word when I have drafted a pages doc on my mac and then send it to a PC to open and print through microsoft work - is there a way around this?

You can't open it directly. You need to either export it from within Pages, or rename the saved file so its extension is zip, decompress it, and get what you can from the contents.

Can't edit home page

When I select "edit page" on the home page I get an error message (in both CS3 and CS5; I just upgraded because I thought the problem might lie with an incompatibilty with the old version). I have no problems with any of the other pages on this web site. There's no open draft of the page at the time. Help!?!

Thanks for trying, but that doesn't work.
I'm the administrator, owner, and sole user. When I click on "administer websites - manage sent drafts" there are no entries in the manage sent drafts box. And I can't "send for edit" or "send for review" because I have to get a successful response when I click on "edit this page", and that's where the trouble originates.
I've used "save as" to save the page with another name and managed to edit it, but then I can't save it under the "proper" name (which would be index.htm) because I get an error message saying that file name already exists, and I'm not given an option to replace/rewrite the existing file. So I've been unable to publish the new page to the server so that it can see it with my browser. I still get the old version with the browser.
I can't even delete the page (in order to replace it with the new one) because I get that same message error "You can't edit this page because is editing it".
I'm now trying to manage page expiry to see if I can get rid of the original page that way...
Any other suggestions will be most welcome!

Can Not Edit JSP Page

Running SJSC2.1 on XP
I have a project which uses tables and DB
I can not edit the JSP page (the tab for the Page1.jsp page has an asterisk) after the name.
The IDE can not edit the page either, I add a table column for display and the design mode shows the added column but the JSP page does not show the new column, nor does the new column show when the app is deployed..
I can edit the file with wordpad outside of the IDE
What gives???
Thanks

Actually, I did say that I am able to edit the file and save it in WordPad..
Outside of the IDE..
Thanks anyway...
I have restarted the IDE, Rebooted the system (which reboots the app server) made sure there are no "hanging" "app module" entries in the domain.xml file...
Anybody know why the "*" is shown with the filename on the SJSC Design tab..
There was also a series of very small "red somethings" to the upper left of the file name in the Files> listing
The red somethings looked like:
| | | |
| o |
I have no idea what this red something is.. I thought if might say something but even with a magnifying glass it is unreadable, if in fact the somethings is text
Thanks
any help would be appreciated...

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.
