EDITING WORD-PAGE DOCUMENT

In MS-Word, I was able to edit an existing document where all new text added was automatiocally shown in a different colour and the previous text that was deleted was automatically changed to a different colour with a line through it, but still visible. Is this possible with Page?

Nope. This is a great feature of Word and not available in Pages.

Editing icloud pages document on desktop, edits not showing up on icloud

I have a pages document on my icloud called "ABC123"
I am on my mac
I go to FINDER > iCLOUD > PAGES FOLDER
in the pages folder I see the document "ABC123"
I click ABC123
It opens in pages on my desktop (not in browser)
I make an edit and type: "***?"
I click save.
When I open ABC123 in the browser-version of pages, my "***?" edit is not there.
Why are my edits not syncing with the icloud version even though I opened it through my icloud folder? Everything is updated (software and pages and icloud acct).... can we just not use the desktop version to edit icloud documents?
In other words:
I ask because I'd like to collaborate with others, but I would like to use my desktop version. They can use the browser to edit. but.... my desktop edits aren't saving to the collaborative online version of ABC123

Hello anonAnthony,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Yes, Pages and iCloud Drive can be used in the way you're describing. It sounds like you're seeing some unexpected behavior with this feature.
For troubleshooting, start with the tips in the "Documents on iCloud.com are not updated when changes are made on my iOS device or Mac" section of this article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud - Apple Support
You may also want to close and re-open Pages and Safari, and test again.
If the steps above don't solve it, the article I mentioned recommends contacting iCloud Support for more help:
If you still need help, contact iCloud Support.

How do I turn off auto cap when editing a pages document on my iPad?

When I use Pages on my iPad and touch the screen to insert a new word it always starts in upper case as if a new sentence. It does this even if I am in the middle of a sentence. Can I turn this off?

I have some vague memory of people solving this problem by putting a piece of clear tape with an appropriate hole in it over the headset jack. But, it's only a very vague memory. You might try searching the forums for older entries.
I don't use Apple headsets (hate 'em) but don't have this problem. Depending on how attached you are to your current headset, you might want to experiment with others. I've used both the Shure E2c and Etymotic ER6i without any problem.

I want to print edited Pages documents with Comments written in margins, not yellow boxes

Can anyone tell me a way to use Track Changes to edit a Pages document so my comments are printed in margins, not hidden in yellow boxes. I was able to do this on Word documents, but my students are now using Pages. Neither they nor I can see all comments unless we click to open them one at a time in Pages. We would like to see comments in the printed document as well as a line crossing out words I suggest as deletions.

You are using the wrong application.
Use Pages '09. Or continue using Word.

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
If not, what is the alternative?
Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

Cursor jumps to beginning of document when editing Word-based texts

Hi,
I hope someone might offer a solution to this problem.
I recently got a new mac book and decided I wouldn't install MS Office for mac on this one, but use iWorks instead. Most of this transition had been smooth, except when I need to edit Word-based documents in Pages. At some point (not immediately), the cursor starts jumping to the top of the document each time I try to type something. I can replace the cursor anywhere and highlight/delete/copy/insert stuff, but once this problem starts, I can no longer write 'in' the text without the cursor jumping back to the top.
This has only happened when opening and editing Word doc(x)s or after copy-pasting text from a doc(x) file into my pages document.
Mac Book Pro Retina, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.3
Pages 5.2 (1860)
Thanks in advance!
Marie

I don’t have an answer for a moving document cursor in Pages v5.2 — outside of your direct control from an input device. I use the same version of Pages with .doc and .docx documents. On 10.9.3 and 10.9.4. External Apple Mighty Mouse. No issue. I have found that low-battery reserve on Bluetooth devices can effect their behavior, or additional interference from other electronic sources.
Does this issue follow you into TextEdit, or /Applications/iWork ’09 Pages ’09 v4.3 (if you still have it)?
I would disconnect both keyboard and mouse via the Bluetooth Menu bar item. Power off each device. Shut your MBP down, then reboot it. Then, power on the keyboard and pair it. Follow this with the mouse. Re-evaluate if your erratic pointer condition remains.

My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?

My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?
This happens during the creation of email or word/pages documents.

Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+).

I have upgraded to Pages 5.0.1 and now I cannot print or pass along "comments" in the text of a document. I previously was able to convert the Pages document, with comments, to a "Word" document so that others could view the edited text. How do I do that?

When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

I have a OSX IMAC Version 10.8.5. I got pages at the same time I purchased this computer. I use a document to write all my passwords. Seems like when I E-mail myself the document from pages, I have not been able to type in the document, it acts like it is locked. I checked all the "lock" and "unlock" fields, and none of them were locked. I notice the document says PDF. How do I correct this? Seems like I've tried everything. If you can help, that would be great!

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.

My pages document converted to word, seems corrupted.

I saved two pages files as word files, so I could open and edit them in word on my work laptop. THe MacBook Pro in work uses Microsoft Word 2008, the document that corrupts it is over 2mb ( an 8,200 word document with image files) and the first half opens fine in word, but once I scroll down after the initial okay pages, all the pages are blank and below the pagination starts to go crazy, trying to give me thousands of pages (my document is 28 pages) subsequently crashing word. I also emailed myself another pages to word converted document which was much smaller, and all of the information on this one seems perfectly correct and formattted. Is the previous one too large for word?!
any help is much appreciated, this is for an MFA dissertation

By the word 'convert' you mean 'export', right? I usually export heavier files with images to word and don't have any problem. Two suggestions: 1) Also get a copy of open office application (Neo Office) for all sort of double checks, 2) Yes, try exporting it again...

I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page. I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text. I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer. I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu. It keeps doing the same thing. What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book. Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi Ellen,
Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).
Regards,
Ian.

Why can't I get a Mac created/iPad edited Pages document to appear in iTunes when using "send to iTunes" command in Pages on my iPad

This morning I updated to iTunes 10.4. and also updated Pages on my MacBook (SL 10.6.8) to version 4.1. My iDevices are all recognized in iTunes and all is going fine except for this one thing. I created a Pages document on my Mac and I sent it to my iPad using file sharing with iTunes. I edited and finished the document on the iPad and then used the "send to iTunes" feature and prepared to sync back to my Mac. The document appears to transfer over - and I have tried sending it over again and again - but it never appears in the file sharing Pages documents window after I sync. When I try to send it from the iPad again, the device tells me that the document already exists and asks if I want to replace it, so it must be transferring somehow but I don't see it in the window.
This only started after I updated both applications. I've been using Pages and file sharing without any issues at all until now. The really ironic thing is that I can create a Word document on my Mac, send it to the iPad, edit it there and send it back to iTunes and it appears in the window like you would expect - but my Pages documents do not. Word documents work fine but not Pages documents? Documents created on the iPad seem to be going back and forth fine but not Mac created files.
I've tried everything I can think of, restarting disconnecting the iPad reconnecting the iPad, hard reset .... Any ideas? Is there something that I am missing? Anybody else experience this?

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Can't edit text in Pages document

Many times I have opened a Pages Word Proessing document that serves as a brochure. Today I went in to edit some of the text and I can't get a cursor to drop anywhere in the text. All the text boxes can't be edited.
What may have happened? I am using Pages '09
Mary Lou

Here's the explanation. When I transferred the document to Pages, I did a copy and paste of the text boxes and graphics. What I didn't understand was that, after they were in Pages, they would no longer need to be edited.
I have been printing the brochure from the Pages document for months. It wasn't until now that I needed to edit it. It came as a surprise to discover that in copying and pasting text boxes between these two applications, I lost the ability to edit them.
I have now selected the text from the original document and created a new text box in Pages and pasted the text into it. It can now be edited further if necessary.
Thanks for discovering where my error was.
The original brochure was created as an Appleworks Draw document and cannot be opened in Pages. Before I upgrade my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to Maverick, I need to make sure that I have created fresh Pages documents whenever I used a Draw document in Appleworks.
The dilemma is solved. Thank you.
Mary Lou

Opening and editing Word docs in Pages

Hi!
Whenever I write a document in Pages and export it as a Word document and then opens it again in Pages, maybe afer it have been edited in Word, the table of contents, for one thing, is changed. I noticed that when I open it as a Word document it now contains a lot more styles. For example Sub-heading and Sub-heading A. This is really annoying cause it messes up the document.
Can I change this in any way and get it to look like the Pages document I had before?
Thanks

Rune
Well I'm glad you have found a workaround. It's difficult for me to understand how your document was being messed up.
I thought you had Word. To clarify what I was talking about, Word deals with styles slightly differently to Pages. In Pages all the styles are associated with the document. When Word opens a document it adds a whole bunch of styles to what's already in there from what it calls document and global templates - this is the source of the extra styles that irritated you. These templates are associated with each user of Word.
The only other thing you could do is ask the people editing your document with Word to override Word's default behaviour of introducing styles from global templates. Many long time Word users that I know wouldn't understand what I was talking about
