Export docx track changes and comments

Mavericks latest and Pages latest
Export .docx file and the recipient reports that:
comments do not transfer over
tracked changes do not appear in text only as an indication of change box at start of each line
colour assigned to author (green) in Pages has changed to orange when file is opened in Word
Can anyone help with a workaround
I have temporarily tried exporting as a .doc file in the hope that the problems are with a versions of Word rather than with Pages - awaiting a response
Thanks for help

Office for Mac 2011: Tips for speeding up Word when using tracked changes and comments?

I run a fresh installation of Office for Mac 2011 (v. 14.4.1) on a brand new Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM running 10.9.2. The Office package is fully up-to-date.
I mainly use Word and find that it is extremely slow when I track changes. Documents need not be particularly large - even in a 30-page document after a few pages of tracks typing becomes a pain, in particular in comment bubbles where the text shows up letter-by-letter and only finish several seconds after I've stopped typing. Other programs run at the same time do not suffer from this horrible lag.
I have searched and seen that this is not uncommon so it appears that Microsoft's coders are not particularly well versed in coding for Mac.
My question is if other users have found ways to improve the situation, for instance by trashing plists or something like that? This is really driving me crazy
Many TIA
Philip

I just updated to 5.7 and the exported files are blurry. I compared the ones I exported before the change and they are fine. I have not change any settings.

I don't understand your last paragraph.
"The home page also has a full bar ..." What does "full bar" mean? " ... instead of the tray it had before." What does "tray" mean?
Anyway, you might try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
I guess that cannot make things any worse.

MS Word Track Changes and Acrobat Merge into a Single PDF

I am using Word 2007 to create a group of about 50 files that are being collected with Acrobat 9 Standard Merge Files Into a Single PDF feature. I need to control whether the track changes in the word files are carried over to the PDF. Said another way, I want a singe PDF with the track changes showing and another PDF witht he track changes off. Currently, the track changes are being filtered out (accepted) in the merged document. Strangely, when printing a single document with track changes, the track changes show in the PDF.
I understand I could print each of my 50 files individually and then collect them with the merge feature, but I am hoping to take advantage of the automation.
How do I control the track changes printing / not printing?
Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the comment! If this is the best Acrobat can do, I will just have to lower my expectation.

How do I track changes and show redlines on an edited pages document?

I have legal agreements that were sent to me in Microsoft Word. How can I track and show redline changes when I convert to a Pages document to make my edits. The redlined changes or edits, then need to be saved back in word doc format and emailed on.
Thanks,
Dana

I think the Word document has to be saved with the tracking open so you can see it when you open the document in Pages. In Pages if you don't see the tracking go View > Show Comments, You might need to also go Edit > Track changes
More about this can you read in the Pages User Guide, downlaodable from your Pages Help menu. Chapter 4.

Co-author cannot access track change and add/delete scenes

My co-author cannot access track change or add/delete scenes. Is it a bug or is there a setting that I did not set correctly. I shared the document as co-author several times with the same results. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Brice

Hi there,
Unfortunately, currently only owner of the document has the right to turn on/off track changes or accept/reject changes. Co-author can still view the document as Original or Final from Review menu or even navigate through the changes using Next Change/Previous Change. Extending the track changes rights to co-author as well is being considered on our backlog of items to do.
Meanwhile, the co-author should still be able to go ahead and edit existing text, add new text, delete existing text and it should be getting tracked.
Do keep providing us your feedback on the track changes feature. Your feedback is extremely important to us and helps us to improve.
Thanks

Tracking changes and reserved record errors FRM-40501,ORA-00054,FRM-40400

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.2.0 (Production)
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
I'm working on a form with a lot of post-query triggers, and filling in values from selects, etc. I keep getting the message asking me to save changes when I haven't manually changed anything after just doing a querying and cancelling it (f8 to find record, f7 to cancel) Is there a way I can track what oracle thinks has changed so i can find out whats causing it?
Possibly related, when I start up my form it starts in enter query mode, hitting f8 queries all records, but when I do so, im sometimes getting a FRM-40501 error saying oracle is unable to reserve record for update. (Just checking now this seems to have gone away so maybe someone else also had it open, shared environment) I assume this is also being caused by the fact that something is being changed in/after the query.

I keep getting the message asking me to save changes when I haven't manually changed anything after just doing a querying and cancelling it
This error will come when you are assigning any value to the DATABASE ITEM in the post query trigger.
Appropriate solution:- Please check the properties of the items to which you are assigning values in the post query trigger.
FRM-40501 error saying oracle is unable to reserve record for update.
You generally get this error when you try to update the same record which is used somewhere else or in some other screen/block/canvas.
Appropriate solution:- If you have 2 blocks based on same table then please make sure you are not updating the same record in one block while that recors is active/queried in other block.
Or this may occur if you are using same record somewhere else.
Please mark if it helps

Copy text from word without track changes

Version: Word 14.0.6129.5000 32 bit
OS: Win 7
Hi -
We receive tons of word-documents to our newspaper, and many of these are copied and pasted into incopy. Some of the editors also use track changes in word heavily.
The ordinary ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl-v copies track-changes-info. (This also apply if we copy to notepad etc.)
Is there an easy way to copy just the text without all the track chages-info, just the final text?
This is a big problem for us, and I haven't found a quick and easy solution on the web.
Regards -
Johannes

Hi Hans,
I just retested this Copy/Paste of Tracked Changes and Comments under Word 2011 for the Mac and Word 2010 for the PC. The results vary.
Regarding the PC with 2010 version.
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the Source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over into the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes ALWAYS transfer to Note documents.
Paste Unformatted DOES NOT eliminate the tracked changes and comments when pasting to a Word destination document
Regarding Word 2011 on the Mac
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over to the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes DO NOT transfer to Text (txt) documents.
Paste Unformatted ALWAYS eliminates the tracked changes and comments when pasted into the destination Word document.
On both versions the default settings for Smart Copy/Paste and Cut, Copy, Paste we in effect. All test files where xml formats. (docx)

Photosmart C309a - Printing Track Changes on document

Whenever I try to print my document which has track changes and comments, the comments don't appear on the printed page even though they show on the print preview. If I print double sided (duplex) the comment number appears in the text, but the comments themselves don't appear anywhere. If I print single sided, the comments appear in the balloons, but are cut off at the margin.
I have tried different settings but with no result. If I print this at work, it prints without a problem, so I can only assume that I need to click something (or unclick!) on my printer options to get the information onto the printed page. I am a newbie with track changes, so may be doing something wrong, but in that event I wouldn't expect it to print out at work.
Can anyone help me, please?

Track changes causing #of pages in document to fluctuate wildly

Hello! I'm running Pages 5.5.2 on an almost-brand-new Macbook Pro running OS 10.10.1.
I've been working on a document for a long time with no problems (well, a bit of that lovely pages-5-lag), and tracking changes and converting to word and sending it off and getting it back and so on.
Just recently, it's freaked out. If I keep track changes on (it's got 100+ changes and comments, but nothing too crazy) the document only displays 4 pages (of 18). If I edit something or scroll down, more pages appear and then disappear again within a second, first dropping down to just the first 2 pages and then settling back to the first 4. If I turn track changes off (and accept/reject all changes) the problem stops.
It's making it impossible to work. Any advice would be hugely, massively appreciated.
Cheers
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Pages is not a Word Clone. Exporting and importing between Pages and Word will build up glitches. If you are working with a Word user, it is best that you use Word for Mac or or a free look-alike such as LibreOffice.

Switching: Seeing "track changes" from MS Word

I know Pages does not have a track changes function as in MS Word. I also know of the comments function in Pages, which I prefer anyway.
But when you use Pages, can you see text marked with track changes in a Word document?
A friend of mine put in an effort to help me edit something I have written. I use Pages, he uses Word, so I exported my doc to Word and sent to him. He edited it using track changes and sent it back to me (still as a Word doc). Problem is, in Pages I can't see what changes he has made, or comments inserted in Word.
Is there something I can do to make Pages display what you would see if you were using Word?
I don't want to use any Microsoft products...

Thanks. That is exactly the situation, I can see the new text but no way to see what it used to be, or even that a change has been made. So it is real hard work to go through and check for places where changes might have been made. If I could at least get a mark in the margin to identify a site where something has changed it would help a lot, but I have found no way to do that in Pages.
I have OpenOffice, but I just find that Pages is a lot nicer and I don't want to start using that just for this. Anyway I can't figure out how to get OpenOffice to show where changes have been made either. Can't see using a multitude of different programs for text editing...
The best I have come up with is to get my friend to send me his MSWord file as a .pdf, so I can at least see where the changes are and make them myself in my original Pages document.
But I would rather there was a way to get Pages to do what I need...

Feature Request: support for Word's Track Changes feature

I love the iPad and Pages lets my wife and I use it to some extent for our jobs. However, the most useful feature for me in a document reader/creator would be the ability to track changes and have it be compatible with Word. I am a college professor, and I use this feature almost daily when grading student papers. If this were available on the iPad version of Pages, I could truly leave the laptop at home.

Why would it need to be compatible with Word? Why not use Pages' Track Changes feature and print the final version, with the comments and markup visible, to PDF? This is what I do. And it works just fine. I get a student once in a while who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed, but I have a FAQ item for that in the online course shell.

Problems Exporting multiple tracks / Mix down - Big Probs!

Hi Guys,
I apologise for the large holes in my knowledge in advance.
I have asked a similar question before but I got a screen grab that does not appear in my version of STP (I use Version 2.0 I think, apologies, I am at work so can't be totally sure)
I have created a 30 minute project that goes accross 3 tracks with various bits of cut audio.
If I wan't to create one single MP3 of the whole piece I really struggle. The Option to create 'MP3' is greyed out, and the only option that creates the seems to create the single 'submix' file, is the option to export all tracks, buses and submixes etc.
When I go to open the WAV though it crashes, it also doesn't list a duration (which i think is why it is crashing).
I managed to export it at all using the lowest rates in the export menu but when I open the submix wav, it plays it full mixdown correctly but with about 8 empty tracks(?) in the main edit / playing window (not the session style window with all the tracks, buses etc)
I then can't convert the wav to an Mp3 (perhaps because it is not a standard wav) which means curtains for my podcast at present.
I am so sorry for the drivel that I have just written, If it does make sense I would be so glad if you could help me out.
How best to Mix Down my project?
Many thanks.
Dave.

Hi there,
My bad, the master mix was there, it is at the top but seperate so i must have missed it or thought it was the title of the menu, anyway, thanks for your help on that one.
The surround sound issue still bugs me but I changed the setting in 'Multitrack' and it seemed to work, as for the submix track, i see that at the bottom of the project (along with busses?) and there doesn't appear to be any sound file in there, i'll take another look and see if the settings need changing.
Thanks so much for your help as it was really doing my head in (along with the random crashes and slight movements in levels that I didn't touch)
It's fixed now so thank you very much indeed!!!
Here is the file if you wanna listen to it (shamelss plug), it;s a bit weird.
