Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

  • I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents.

      I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents. I have several
    several documents on my homepage,but once I select one it shuts down and

    Can someone tell me what's happening

    Pages is crashing for some reason.
    You say that other documents open with no problems, do you mean other Pages documents or documents in another app?
    Try closing Pages completely in the recents tray and reboot your iPad. See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you may have to delete and reinstall Pages. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt document that you need to track down and delete.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Problem with importing a MS Word Document

    Hi,
    I'm looking for an application that will enable me to stop using MS word. At present I have trial versions of iWork Pages, Mellel and Nisus Writer Pro installed to see how they handle documents originated by MS Word.
    I have one such document that opens in MS Word X with seven A4 pages but that opens with only three pages in each of the other applications.
    Pages reports the following message on import "Floating Objects inside table cells aren't supported and were removed".
    I have tried both Word .doc file and a word generated .RTF file but four pages are always missing. Is there a method of ensuring the complete document is loaded using any of these applications rather than having to load it in MS Word X? The original document came from a windows machine running Word 2003 (I think).
    best wishes
    Simon

    I was able to get this done, after all.  I followed the standard Acrobat method, I guess, of adding an interactive object through tools and dragging a space within the document for where I wanted to place the audio.
    Not sure why, but when I originally created my acrobat and word documents through MS word, the audio files were not playable either through reader or acrobat, but at least I can add them (they must also be activated) in Acrobat.

  • Exporting problems with pages

    How come whenever I export a document, in this case an essay, it is exported and saved using text edit? This is a huge problem for me since text edit doesnt support MLA format. Please help

    Are you using Pages or TextEdit?
    Pages will export to .txt but only if you deliberately choose to do so.

  • I'm using an iBook G4. I'm having a problem with a lengthy Microsoft Word (2003) document crashing. It keeps telling me that there's a problem and then working and working. I have to do a forced shutdown.

    I'm using an iBook G4. I'm having a problem with a lengthy Microsoft Word document. It keeps freezing when I try to make a change in it. The computer is working and working. Then I have to use a forced shutdown. And it starts all  over again. Suggestions?

    Is there sufficient free space on the iBook's startup disk (typically called Macintosh HD)?  The OS and apps use free space to write temporary files, and it free space becomes too low, it can cause the Mac to bog down.  Low free space also makes whatever free space is left fragment into tiny pieces scatter all over the hard drive, making the problem even worse.  If it more than 90% full, you should free up some space.

    What exactly is the problem?
    Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
    How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
    Where, how and what are the random words turning up?

  • How do I save a web page as a word document?

    I can't seem to copy a web page into a word document so I can edit it.

    Firefox will no longer allow me to copy a block of text to save it if the block goes farther down than the bottom of the screen. It used to scroll down as far as necessary while holing down the highlight button on the mouse but now stops and will not scroll with a block highlighted beyond the original screen.
    I've been using IE for the past month because firefox stopped allowing this while it still works great in IE.
    I just upgraded to firefox 5.0 hoping it would fix the problem but it did not. Guess I'll be back in the old and slow IE.

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

    Problems converting PDF to MS Word document.  I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file.  I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure.  I attempted to convert the entire document and same result.  I specifically purchased the export to Word feature.  Please assist.  I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,
    I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
    So, let's try this:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • 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?

    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.

  • Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

    It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

    Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
    Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
    …and Pages 5 is buggy.
    So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again

  • Do I need Pages in order to save my word document to the iCloud?

    I am new to using iCloud and have been trying to save Word documents to the cloud.  Even when the iCloud has been properly activated on my mac, when I try to save my document within Word, I do not get iCloud as an option in the dropdown menu for locations to save to.  I wasn't sure if I need to purchase Pages in order to save Microsoft Word documents.  That doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I'm not sure what else I might be doing incorrectly.

    As long as you are using Mountain Lion (10.8.x) yes, you'll see this:
    You will need 2 copies of Pages, one for your Mac and one for the iPad.

  • Can't save my Word Document

    I am trying to save my Word Document, and it's not saving
    whatsoever. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Hi all
    Colum, I doubt that Peter's info on that page will apply here
    because as I understand it, this is a RoboHelp for Word project.
    Folks, I know it appears to be a seductive thing to want to
    try and do. I'm talking about the desire of "sticking with the
    Devil you know" meaning Word.
    If you are creating WebHelp output, it would behoove you to
    at least give RoboHelp HTML a once over. The editing interface is
    very "Word like". You will find that a great many things you
    struggle with Word over disappear in RoboHelp HTML.
    Just a thought... Rick

  • Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

    Hi all,
    I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
    As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing.  I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
    I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine.  But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen.  As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
    Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it.  I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
    Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way.  I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for.  In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and".  Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
    Has anyone else seen this problem.  It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad.  Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out.  If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

    That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
    The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
    I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
    What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?
