Emailing word doc saved from pages

created a resume in pages and saved as a word doc. the formatting is on 2 pgs when i view the word doc on my Mac, but when i email the doc as an attachment, the formatting changes to 3 pgs. any advice on how to ensure it remains on only 2 pages?
thanks

Save and mail it as a PDF. There frequently are small, but consequential, changes when converted to Word.

I suggest you post your question on Microsofts own forums for their Mac products as it's their software you're having issues with:

NH,
This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks. I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive. Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications. Would really appreciate ANY help!

You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
Another possiblity is using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message: Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

About word doc as web pages

hi !
I accidentally saved a Word document as a web page !! It opens in Safari, with my students names etc…
I don't want that at all !
how do I cancel this page ? (destroy it, annihilate it ?)
thanks for any help !

Open the word document again in Word and save it again as .doc

Hi Dimaxum
If you mean the doc which became a web page, it doesn't exist anymore: I canceled it from the Temporary items file in the User/Library/cache… The doc I now have is the original word.doc and that one is fine.
And: I don't have a mouse with right and left clic !!
That you see the document NOW in Safari is because you saved it like that as a web document. This doesn't mean that every one can see it. Only when you upload the file to a webpage or your webpage "when you got one"
Thank you for this information ! I didn't know that. I feel better. I really don't want anybody to look at my students results (not that ist can be of great interest ! )
Plus, now I know how to do if I want to upload a file to my blog !
thanks again

Unable to email word docs as attachments to PC

I'm having trouble successfully emailing a word doc from my mac to a PC. Whenever the recipent receives the attachment, it's no longer a word document,
and instead is converted into the following link: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=07.
Can't understand why the document is being converted into this link??? I tried sending it by both mac email and aol, checking the box "send windows friendly attachments" and neither worked. I have OS X 10.4.8 and am using the windows teacher student edition for microsoft word. Don't think the recipient's system is rejecting it as a virus, etc. b/c there's been no such warning after receiving my email. Anyone deal with this before??

Make sure you're including .doc at the end of every file name otherwise Windows won't know what type of file it is.

MSOffice for Mac WORD docs defaulting to Pages docs

After installing OS X Mavericks, my MSOffice for Mac WORD docs are defaulting to Pages. Also have problem with pdf docs. Anyone have a solution to keep MS WORD as the default or docs saved as WORD docs? Solutions for the pdf problems?

I think you are right. It appears to be solved, but new issues have popped up constantly since I upgraded, so I'll see what tmr brings. Thanks for your help. Now I'll work on solving the issues with pdfs.

ER diagrams in word docs and web pages

What are the best ways of getting ER diagrams displayed in Word documents and web pages? The output facilities from Designer seem a bit limited unless I am missing something.

True, the diagrammer is a modelling tool, not a drawing tool.
To get your diagram in word however you can select & copy the entities in a windows fashion to word (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V).
If you want the contents of the repository in html on the web you should try ODWA (Oracle Designer Web Assitant)!

Why isn't my word doc saving in the same format when saved to a pdf?

When I save my word doc to a pdf, the text boxes are getting all jumbled. I tried changed the font, but that did not help the text box issue.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact PDF settings, version of your Office program and so on. And naturally screenshots tell a lot more than even the most verbose description of a pink butterfly on a rosy peach...

How do I make hearts and symbols disappear from Word Doc converted from pdf?

This is the first time I've tried to convert a document. I am in a new job and I'm stuck. How do I convert pdf to word and not get symbols all over the Word doc?

Appears to be a font related issue.
Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.
Be well...

ADOBE READER (9.4.1) prints several files from one Word doc with different pages formats

I work with Word for Mac, version 11.6.1
When I have one document with several pages setup (say different sizes, or landscape and vertical orientation) and I need to convert to PDF, I got several PDF files, one for each page section of my document.
How can I get only one PDF for my whole document ?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you, MichaelKazlow, for your reply/suggestion.
Actually, I'm not very familiar with this kind of technology, so I'll do my best trying to find out solution following your recommendation.
Tks again.

Convert from word .doc file to pages and pages to .doc.

When I save a pages document in word the formatting is hopelessly changed. I am writing a book and reformatting 400+ pages is not fun. PDF save is not appropriate because I send bits to folks using word. When the formatting is messed up, they have no idea what it actually looks like.
And of course the reverse is true. When I edit a piece created in word, pages changes the formatting creating hours of work. Are there any solutions to this?
If I had windows resident w/word would I still have the same issue? No reason to have windows on the Mac otherwise.
PS: Open office has the same issue.

Thanks for the input. I spoke to Apple about the issue and they said if I need to share documents with non-Pages using people, and wanted them to see what I see, my only choice is Word. They stated there is and will never be any 'fix' for the issue and I said, well, guess I have to stop using Pages.
PDFs are great for the finished product but you can't make changes to them and I need my editor to see what I see and make appropriate changes. This is not a font issue, it is about spacing, indentations, images and margins.
It is worse for my career coaching clients. A simple example: Their Word created Two page Resumes opened in Pages scroll to three or four even when they use Arial or other common font.
And why Pages crashes 15 times in an hour? No idea... Reload the application. Of course I did. That's not a fix. Well, it must be your documents then. And the finger points where?
For book writing purposes, Pages offers wonderful layout and easy formatting solutions. They just don't translate to Word making Pages useless except for stand-alone documents I can send as PDFs. And readers, be clear, when I purchased the MacBook Pro and Pages, I clarified how I would use it and that I needed to work between the two products. "Oh, yes, that's simple," said the eager sales dupe.
What a waste. I am now stuck editing my books myself which any author can tell you is a fool's errand. Back to the keyboard....
