Documents Created In MS Word Can No Longer Be Opened in Pages

After three months from the date of purchase of a new computer with Mountain Lion, I am now unable to open documents originally created with MS Word that were on my old system.   For the first three months, when I clicked on Word documents, they opened in Pages.  I could edit those documents but had to save them as Pages documents.  Now I am unable to even open previously created Word documents.
Was there some sort of 90 day "conversion" period where all documents needed to be switched to a Pages format?

No, there was no time-limiting on that feature, it should still be there. It sounds like you're having a problem with Word files no longer being associated with Pages as the default. I'm guessing that dragging a Word file onto the Pages icon on your Dock would open it... is that correct? If so, select a Word file and choose File -> Get Info. In the Open With section, change the selection to Pages and click the Change All button. (Note that this is assuming that the Word files have the appropriate .doc or .docx extension.)

    Hi,
    If you want to add fields to a list, as you have written your form in JavaScript, you can take consideration of using JavaScript Client Object Model to add/delete fields dynamically.

  • Pages 'Word' documents can no longer be opened in LibreOffice

    I used to be able to open documents created and  saved as 'Word' documents in Pages with LibreOffice Writer.
    This is no longer possible.
    I can still open documents created with Microsoft office and saved with the .doc extension in LibreOffice Writer.
    Is Pages now saving the documents in a non stanard 'Word' format?
    I have the latest version on the Word App on my iPad and I am using LibreOffice Writer Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2))

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

    "I have Pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page on my desktop?"

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    If you close all the windows and quit word, next time you restart, DO NOT check "Reopen windows on login".
    Also, check your login items for your user account.

  • How can I make MS Word create PDF's again? After cancelling Adobe cloud, Word can no longer make PDF's. Worked before I used Adobe Cloud.

    Hi. I can no longer create PDF's in MS Office. Before I installed and ran Adobe Cloud, this worked. Now, after cancelling Adobe Cloud, Adobe has also shut down the PDF feature that worked without problem before. Adobe now wants me to subscribe to make Acrobat work. No way. Worked before so it should not have been withdrawn. Can someone tell me what I now need to do to re-enable the PDF feature in MS Office? Never had a problem with it before. If this happens every time that I subscribe and unsubscribe, then Adobe need to pull their finger out and stop tampering with other programs.

    Depending on which version of MS Office you have the Microsoft Save As PDF option is either an add-on or a feature.
    If you are using MS Office 2007, then  it's the Add-on and you need to either run repair for it from the Add/Remove Control Panel or reinstall the add-on.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7
    If this is a later version of MS Office (2010 or 2013) then the feature should be available and you should run repair from the Add/Remove control panel.

  • I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

    I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
    When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
    Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
    Thanks
    Mandy

    for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
    I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
    The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

  • With recent update of Firefox, I can no longer set the default page, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page, why?

    Why can I no longer set the default page to something else? Every time I open Mozilla Firefox, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page. No matter how many times I do this, it always reverts.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Orcladmin can no longer access Collaboration Suite pages with SSO enabled

    I can no longer use the orcladmin account to access Collaboration Suite pages when SSO is enabled. I have the plug-ins listed in OID and have set the one property to exclude orcladmin (and other admin level accounts) from being authenticated using the external authentication connector with ADS. And yet despite that orcladmin still can't authenticate. I can see in the OC4J log that the authentication in IE is falling back to NTLM authentication but is still failing. What the heck am I missing?

    Swipe between pages stopped working for  me as well completely out of the blue. I haven't installed anything / updated anything lately, and it just stopped working about an hour ago.
    My issue isn't with Mission Control, it's with my browsers:
    In Safari, if I try to swipe to go back a page, it freezes the entire page. I can't scroll anywhere.
    In Chrome, swiping to go back pages just doesn't work at all. But no freezing occurs
