Convert Microsoft Word docs to Pages?

I love Pages and want to convert a bunch of Microsoft Word docs into Pages documents. The action would open the .doc file in Pages, then save it as a Pages document with the same title.
Is there anything that would let me do this? Thanks.

I've tried that myself, to no avail.
Here's what I've tried - if anyone can twiddle with this to make it actually work, I too would be grateful!
1 find finder items
2 get specified finder items
3 copy finder items (to save originals)
4 launch app (pages)
but then there's no action for creating a new file or saving-as or anything...
thanks and peace-

  • Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

    Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode"  I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

    In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

  • I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs.  How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

    I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro.  How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc?  When I "select all" it grabs the entire document.  I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

    HI djlarp,
    Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
    If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
    Best,

  • Microsoft Word docs are formatted wrong when opened in pages

    Hi,
    I‘ve been using pages from the very beginning and I am very happy with it (still waiting for "auto-save", though), but I do have one problem:
    often when I open word .docs in pages they are formatted wrongly.
    This happens especially with tables and pictures in tables.
    If the pictures are in one line in MS Word, they often jump to the next line in pages.
    Or the margins are wrong or both.
    If I open it in Open Office, for example, they are fine.
    Is there anything I can do about it?
    Will it be better in pages 09?
    Frank

    Hi, I have a similar problem with Word (.doc) files containing a Table converted to Pages. Having read that Pages can convert from Word, I bought iWork instead of Office for Mac. I need to work on Word documents sent to me as attachments and find that Tables do not survive the conversion to Pages properly. Often the text within a Table is shown but, if a lengthy text (i.e. more than a page), the Table does not continue to the next page and the text becomes hidden below the visible Table. If I cut out some text from the middle of the Table, the missing text is revealed, progressively from the bottom of the Table. In other words, the text is there in the document but cannot be seen if it is more than can be fitted on one page. Any ideas on how to sort this? I am not encouraged that iWork 09 does not appear to help in a similar problem to mine.

  • HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

  • How do I convert a WORD doc to pdf on my Mac

    How do I convert a WORD doc to pdf

    Easiest way if you have Word installed: from Word's File menu, do "Save as..." and you will find a pdf option in the "Format" pull-down:
    The example is from Office:Mac 2008; should be similar in Office 2011.

  • Word doc to Pages to Word doc conversion problems

    I imported a word doc into pages on my iphone.
    I edited the document on my phone, then exported it back to word format, emailed it to myself and opened it on my macbook in word again.
    Now there are some weird spell check errors happening (eg it doesn't like the word 'you' and suggests all kind of rubbish) and the formatting of the apostrophes is all wrong.
    Is there a quick fix for this? My document is 102,000 words long, I don't like the idea of having to redo the apostrophes one by one...

    I'd recommend you use Word for Mac for such stuff.
    Before buying that, you could try the free Open/LibreOffice and see if the result is satisfactory.
    If you already have Pages on your machine, just do File > Open and see how it looks and works.

    I imported and opened a word doc to pages.  When I went to edit all I got was highlighted boxes of text....no cursor or keyboard.  How do I edit an imported doc in Pages?

    No, it's a document I created and it's not locked.   I did it at work and sent it to Pages so I could work at home.   It opens but I can't type or edit.

    I have selected a .doc, gone to get info,then open with, pages( default ), then change all, then try to open a word doc, which results in, unable to open.
    I must be doing something wrong, hence I would be grateful for any assistance.
    Many Thanks

  • Michaelp70541244. I have converted a word doc. to pdf, but none of the fonts are embedded.

    Anyone know the answer?

    Hi michaelp70541244,
    What did you use to convert the Word doc to PDF? Regardless of the method you used, however, some fonts will never be embedded, if licensing for those fonts restricts it.

  • Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

    I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
    I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
    I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
    I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
    Help!

    Hello Debbie,
    as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.
