Do I need Pages in order to save my word document to the iCloud?

I am new to using iCloud and have been trying to save Word documents to the cloud. Even when the iCloud has been properly activated on my mac, when I try to save my document within Word, I do not get iCloud as an option in the dropdown menu for locations to save to. I wasn't sure if I need to purchase Pages in order to save Microsoft Word documents. That doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I'm not sure what else I might be doing incorrectly.

Thanks for the help! So once I've downloaded Pages, iCloud should appear in the dropdown menu as a location to save to?
As long as you are using Mountain Lion (10.8.x) yes, you'll see this:
You will need 2 copies of Pages, one for your Mac and one for the iPad.

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

You will first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support word documents include Apple's Page app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice Pro HD - when you have an app you should then be able to use 'open in' on the email to save the document to that app.

TS1506 how do i save a word document attached to an email to my iphone

I am trying to save a word document from an email to my iphone 4s.
I have looked on all of the support pages and have found that word . doc is supported but cannot see how i can save it in any way?
I have followed all guidelines but now it is making it hard to either attach a document to my email and save them

In order to save any type of document on your phone you need to have an app that supports that form of document.
There are several word processing apps but I prefer Pages. Buy this app. Once it is on your phone you can tap the Word document in your email to view it then tap the Share icon and Open in Pages.
If you edit the document and email it you will have the choice to send it as a Pages document, a Word document or a PDF file.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Pin order to share photos using photostream you need to log into the same iCloud account on both devices, videos are not included in photostream, but other third party apps such as Dropbox and video stream for iCloud can share video between your devices.

When I save a Word document as a PDF file and open it, some of the boxes around the text don't show

Hello,
I currently have Abobe Reader X (10.1.2) on Windows 7 and I need to save a Word document currently in A3 as a PDF file to print in A4. For some documents I have no problem printing and all of the text, images, boxes, lines etc. all show up no problem, except for 2 documents where there is a problem. The document fits onto the screen perfectly.
Please help! Thanks

Reader is unable to create PDF files. You must be using some other product, and therefore should post your question in that product's forums.

Can't save my Word Document

I am trying to save my Word Document, and it's not saving
whatsoever. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi all
Colum, I doubt that Peter's info on that page will apply here
because as I understand it, this is a RoboHelp for Word project.
Folks, I know it appears to be a seductive thing to want to
try and do. I'm talking about the desire of "sticking with the
Devil you know" meaning Word.
If you are creating WebHelp output, it would behoove you to
at least give RoboHelp HTML a once over. The editing interface is
very "Word like". You will find that a great many things you
struggle with Word over disappear in RoboHelp HTML.
Just a thought... Rick

How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
You'd have to open your Word file in Apple's Pages and save it to iCloud from there.

Connect another disk drive to which you can save the document. Then clear space on your hard drive.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.
[[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

Why will my macbook air not save a word document without word freezing up and not responding?

I recently got a Macbook Air. Whenever I try to save a word document I get the colored pinwheel. After the colored pinwheel appears, I go into force quit and see that Microsoft Word is not responding. This happens every time I try to save a word document. To test the issue I tried to save a blank word document to see if I was just trying to save too much. Even with the blank document I got the pinwheel and the application was not responding. I have had macs before and none of them have had any issues. Please Help!

Try using Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities folder) to Repair Permissions.
