Formatting from Pages to Word- Headers

I'm trying to format my Pages 09 document into a Word format and can't figure out the headers. I want to include name, title and automatic page number on each page, except for the cover (first) page. It seems my previous Pages settings are not allowing this? Can anyone help?

I have received your document.
Here is how to achieve what you want:
*First so that you can see what is happening:*
+Menu > View > Page Thumbnails/Show Styles Drawer/Show Layout/Show Invisibles/Rulers+
You can turn these off later by doing the same in reverse: +Hide Layout/Hide Invisibles+ etc.
*Click at the foot of the first page:*
+Inspector > Document > Documents > Document margins > Uncheck Headers and Footers+
+Menu > Insert > Section break+
*Click at the top of the 2nd page and delete any unwanted returns:*
+Inspector > Document > Documents > Document margins > Check Headers+
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > uncheck Continue from previous section/check Start at > "1"+
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Uncheck First Page is different/ Check use previous Headers and Footers (because you will want this to run right through the document)+
Click in the Header (the skinny box at the top of the page) and set up tabs.
Click in the middle of the Ruler and a tab will appear. By default it is a left tab. Right mouse Click on the tab and choose the centre tab (a diamond).
Click in the right side of the Ruler a little in from the right margin. Right mouse Click on the tab and choose the right tab (a triangle pointing in to the left).
Click in the Header and type your Name (tab) The Title Tab (tab) +Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…+
Select everything in the Header and make it a small font of your choice so that it fits.
*To help with your general formatting.*
You should use Styles by fixing the Header1 style the way you like it including:
+Inspector > Text > Text > Spacing > After Paragraph > 58pts+ No more need to add multiple returns after.
With the Header text selected, click on the red arrow next to the Header1 style (highlighted) in the *Styles Drawer* and choose *Redefine Style from Selection* .
Click in the body type and slide the flat blue bar to the left a bit more, this sets your first line indent and you won't need to type a tab at the start of paragraphs. Redefine this as your Body style Currently everything is in your Header style.
If you have any further questions just ask and have a look through this site:

Best of luck with the book.

Since OS X Yosemite upgrade, cannot share document from pages in word format. Therefore document cannot be opened by non apple user. How do I get around this please?

Since the OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 update to my iMac (27 inch, Mid 2010) , I can no longer "share" a document from Pages in word format via email. It can be sent as an att but then as "Pages" cannot be accessed by a non apple receiver. Please what is the answer, the old method was fast, simple and efficient.
Out of my depth appreciate some help.

Are you using the File > Export function? It will deposit a Word document onto your desktop (or any folder you choose) and then you can attach it to your email.

When I convert documents from pages to word, the format is changed partially and at times entirely. Any solution for this?

...Is it possible that the server at work is somehow affecting these attachments?
I can't say, but if that's the answer, trying to get it fixed might be impossible. Instead, I'd suggest compressing your attachments to create a .zip file. Decompression at the other end would take no time, and if the server changes the attachment's file type, just change it back to .zip.

When I try and export from pages to word I get an unknown error. No font issues that I know of.

I used to be able to export documents from pages to word. Things seemed to have changed after Lion. Whenever I go to export to Word, I get "an unknown error has occurred". I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue. It's a brand new document with Helvetica as the only font.
Thanks, chadrs

I'm unaware of such change.
May you send the Pages document to my mailbox ?
Click my blue name to get my address.
I would check the way it behaves on my own system.
This way we would know if the culprit is the doc or your system.
You wrote "I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue."
Must I understand that you trashed the fonts cache file dedicated to iWork ?
If you didn't (what I assume), trash it for see.
This file is :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
For safe I repeat that under Lion, to reach this Library folder we must press the option key while opening the menu "Go to" to be able to trigger the menu item "Library".

Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

Use Drag and Drop
Have both applications open side by side
select the text in Pages
with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

A warning re exporting from Pages to Word

I am glad for germantownmark (on 4th February) that he was able to resolve the exporting of a Pages document to Word and that in the event he did not need Fruhulda's help.
However, I wish to point out that Exporting from Pages is not necessarily always successful.
In particular the exporting of MathType expressions is as yet unsuccessful. Although the main text will be OK the MathType will appear a seeming miles above the line of text. Which is unacceptable.
(An "Export Warning" first appears which contains the words "Exported Math Type Equations can't be edited". And then one can see the outcome for oneself when the resulting Word document is opened...)
I became aware of this problem ages ago and notified Apple Support - and have been given a case number for it. But so far there has been no update of Pages which eliminates this problem.
NB Because MathType is also accessible elsewhere in iWork09 such an update should be across the board.

Why is it unacceptable ?
Apple never stated that exporting Pages to Word will give an exact replicate of the original.
They just stated that you may export, no lees, no more.
It's time to learn the meaning of advertisement language.

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
" Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
• PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
• Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
• RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
• Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported.Â ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

Why do documents shrink when going from Pages To Word?

To work on my Word docs on my iPad, I email them to myself, and save the attachments in Pages. To get them pack to my laptop, I email them back to myself from the iPad, as Word docs. The attachments that come back are half the size of the original (in KBs), even though I do not remove any content, and usually have added some. Does anyone know why this is, and what occurs to reduce the document to half the KBs it was before?
Thanks.

The content is text only, being composed in Word and edited in Pages. It's getting incoporated into a bigger Word document (the master document). I worry that a document which goes from 100 KB to 40KB is missing something - and that it will somehow corrupt the master document if I add it in.
Pages takes .docx docs and saves them as .doc. But converting them back to .docx in Word after they've been compressed doesn't bring them back to their original size.

MS Word spellcheck goes crazy after export from Pages

I exported two long documents (250 pages each) from Pages 5.0 to Word (.docx) format. When I open the documents in Word for Mac 2011 everything seems fine – until the spellcheck runs. It comes up with hundreds of false positives.
For instance, the following words are all marked as misspelled: if, understanding, wasn't, isn't, student, – and so on and so on, throughout the whole document. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Previous to export I had checked spelling in Pages. So there shouldn't have been any misspelled words at all, let alone all these crazy false positives.
Has anybody experienced this? Has anyone got any advice on how to fix this? I know I can just turn off spellchecking in the Word documents, but I'd like to keep it on.
I'm running OS X Mavericks (10.9) on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
Thanks.

I know what you mean, fruhulda. But MS Word is working just fine with all my other documents that weren't exported from Pages.
It makes me wonder if there is something underying the text when the files are exported, something that is throwing off the MS Word spell checker.
My next test will be to export to text then open in Word. (My documents have very little formatting.) If spellcheck works fine then, I'm forced to wonder whether something about the export process from Pages to Word is problemmatic, or at least problemmatic for Word. But exporting to Word is the whole point, so there shoulnd't be these issues.
In other words, how can you have a feature that claims to export to Word that can't handle something as basic as spell check?
My documents (books) ultimately need to reside in Word so the publisher can work with them. I like working in Pages. It feels cleaner than Word. So I work in Pages and then export. But with this problem I'm seriously considering whether I shouldn't just write in Word from the start and avoid the problems that can come with exports. Somehow I feel like there are bound to be more.

File size expands exporting Pages to Word

Just recently when I export a file from Pages to Word the file size has jumped considerably. For example, a 187 KB file in pages becomes a 553 KB file in word .docx and 1.6 MB file in .doc. MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.5 and Pages 5.2.2. I do not have Word on my Mac, but I MUST be able to convert and keep small files small. This same file in March 2014 was converting to 18 KB when in Word. What is happening and how do I fix it?

Thanks. I do have that version, and I just tried to open the file I was working on yesterday, but I received an error message that I need a new version of Pages in order to open it. I can mess around and copy and paste and work around this, most likely, but it's really a pain. Is there a way to push Apple to fix this? Is there an update with the new OSX that may alleviate this problem? I certainly hate to have to switch word processing programs. This is what I do for a living, and I need the technology to be a help rather than a hindrance.

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

Edit in Pages for Mac - Download from iCloud in Word format

Does anyone know if the following is a documented limitation?
Create a Pages document in Pages for iPad.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can download the document as a Word document. (Click on the document > click on the Download button > select "Word".)
Open the document in Pages for Mac.
Modify anything in the text and then Save the file.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can no longer download the document as a Word document. You can only download it as a Pages document.
(Steps 1 and 2 are not necessary to reproduce the problem. The limitation is there with a new dcument from Pages for Mac as well.)
Does anyone know if there is any easy work around or fix?
The quickest one I can think of is to open the document in Pages for Mac again and then export to Word. This is of course impossible if you are at a location where you do not have Pages for Mac.

Hi Barry,
I think we have not understood each other.
Step 3 is not opening a completely "foreign" document. It is opening a Pages document created by Pages on the iPad. But ok, let's call it "slightly foreign", as the formats between the Mac and iPad versions clearly are not identical.
I do not get what you mean by "first time". What I would like to do is to edit a file freely on iPad and Mac back and forth to my heart's content several times. That I can do. In the end, once I am done with the file, I would like to export it to Word from iCloud using Safari or another browser. That I cannot do.
This export would mean I can open the file on a Mac without Pages or on a Windows PC. It would also mean that I can have files on the iCloud, editable from iPad or Mac, but only accessed from Windows, when I sit at the PC and discover the need to get the latest version.
That export works fine for documents I create with Pages for iPad, but as soon as I touch them with Pages for Mac, they can no longer be exported to Word from Safari.
Regards
Magnus

I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc. I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic. Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages? thanks

I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture. If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender? Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it. I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
thanks,

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

Can you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers

Can you you please tell me what to do when I change a file from PDF to word and it comes up with headers and footers. I do not want the headers and footers but I need the information so that changes can be made in them - There are over 80 pages in this document and every page had a header and footer. The document did not have any headers and footers when it was first typed out.

Good day,
Try converting the document to a .doc format instead of .docx.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, please share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form. Be sure to reference this forum thread in your description so we can circle back on the issue.
Kind regards,
David
