Does Pages have a password function to protect my files from kids?

Hi all,
I want to protect my Pages files from tampering by our kids if I get distracted by someone at the front door and don't log out of all my software and computer. I downloaded the trial version, and it doesn't seem to have the Password option in the Save options?
I also have some business and financial information I'd like to password protect. Serious hackers could probably get past my passwords, but at least not the kids.
Any ideas?

If you were to think laterally about this, you could also create encrypted archives for just those folders or files you were interested in to minimise the possible harm. Similar to the disk images Magnus suggested, but slightly less trouble. Modern Macs are very fast at unarchiving these files so you can work on them then archive them again without too much trouble.
I am a great fan of those tiny USB harddrives and thumbdrives, which easily slip into your pocket so you can take them with you.
My backup consists of a set of three 4Gb USB thumbdrives for my documents and 3 differently colored USB harddrives for my larger material.
If your work is on these, you simply detach them from your computer and keep them locked up or on your person.
Nobody will be able to access those without bailing you up.
… And of course you can use a combination of any and all of the above suggestions.

  • I am a writer who recently moved from the PC world and purchased a MacBook Air. I love the Air. However, I use MS Word extensively. I am use to the extensive grammar settings in Word. Does Pages have anything that robust? I can't find it. Thanks.

    Does Pages have the robust grammar settings that MS Word has? I can't find them. Word identifies run-on sentences, possessives and plurals, subject-verb disagreement, passive voice, split infinitives, contractions, excessively wordy sentences, etc. Does Pages have those capablities? If not and I buy MS Word for mac, does it perform well on the Mac?

    If you would like to check out what sorts of issues people have with MS Word for Mac, you can have a look a the forum run by MS for that:

  • Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    With online layout you can have the page of your document fill up as much of the screen as you want while being able to zoom the viewing of your text or words to any percentage you want. In pages, I can zoom or stretch the document to fit the full width of the screen, but the view the actual text or words themselves correspondingly enlarges as well.

    Thanks but I mean stylized lettering like those below, not clip art.

  • Does pages have a template for a calendar?

    Does pages have a template for a calendar? I am the editor of a church newsletter and I want to include a calendar of events.

    I've just tested those Word calendars.
    Because Word actually has a calendar format built-in, most of those templates will not open cleanly in Pages.
    You can use some of the tabbed text, after you copy it out of the tables and reformat it into a new table in Pages but there will be extra steps involved.

    does pages have a Romanian language corrector?

    Spellcheck is done by the OS and not by the app.  OS X has no spellcheck for Romanian, but you might be able to add it.  See

  • Does Pages have any clip art?

    I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
    Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
    Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Muz

    Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
    Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.

  • Does Pages have a mirror margin option in formatting?

    Does Pages have the formatting option called Mirror Margin?

    We have no idea because we don't know what version of Pages you are using.
    In Pages '08/'09 Inspector > Document > Document > Document Margin > check Facing Pages and adjust the inside/ouside margins
    In Pages 5, no because Apple has removed this along with 100 other features.

  • Does TM have any real functional advantages over other solutions?

    Hi All
    Looking at possible network backup solutions. Does TM have any real functional advantages over something like SuperDuper? I'm not really looking for an "archive" solution, which is I think how a lot of people perhaps incorrectly view TM, but just something that will allow me to easily recover from corrupt/crashed system - TM seems rather overkill and complex for that?
    Any advice/views appreciated...jeremy

    Officially, TM does not work over a network, except via Time Capsule or to another Mac running Leopard on the same local network: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
    Some of us are able to use a USB drive attached to an Airport Extreme, or a shared drive on a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard on the same local network. Some others are using various NAS devices that claim to be TM-compatible, but often with various difficulties.
    So if you're set on a network solution, your options with TM are limited.
    CarbonCopyCloner does not work to any network destination, and I don't think SD does, either.
    Other than that, TM has two main advantages over the "clones:"
    Being able to do hourly incremental backups of new and changed items very quickly, it gives you an excellent chance of recovering something that was changed or deleted in error, or that got corrupted. Most other apps, especially CCC and SD, if they're backing-up your entire system, in most cases just aren't practical to run more than once or twice a day.
    Second, since every TM backup is, in effect, a full one, you can restore your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup, even if it was a previous version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. Many folks have, for example, successfully and easily downgraded from SL back to Leopard when they found they had incompatible apps or other problems.

    I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.
