Help! Pages 09 save as Word document then footnotes gone

My book manuscript is due to the publishers TOMORROW and I'm converting my Pages chapters into Word chapters so that the evil PC universe can read them. In the conversion of one of my chapters, my footnotes are missing from the last half of the document. The footnote place numbers remain in the text, but there is no footnote information at the bottom of the page. But it is only doing this for half of the document.
Any suggestions for how to make this work? I'm desperate and freaking out just a bit.
Thanks!

I don't know whether this will help, but it might give a pointer or two. When submitting a manuscript to a publisher as an email attachment, I have to convert it from Pages to Word first and this throws up an anomaly. It seems that Pages and Word have different ideas of what double-spaced 12-point actually means. My template is set up to deliver 25 lines per page in Pages, but when converted to Word, there are 26. To make the documents match, I have to reset Word's bottom margin to 3.5 cm from Pages' 2.54. That forces the last line onto the next page and the two files match exactly.
I don't know whether that explains where your footnotes are disappearing to, but it might be worth investigating.

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?

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.

TS1506 how do i save a word document attached to an email to my iphone

I am trying to save a word document from an email to my iphone 4s.
I have looked on all of the support pages and have found that word . doc is supported but cannot see how i can save it in any way?
I have followed all guidelines but now it is making it hard to either attach a document to my email and save them

In order to save any type of document on your phone you need to have an app that supports that form of document.
There are several word processing apps but I prefer Pages. Buy this app. Once it is on your phone you can tap the Word document in your email to view it then tap the Share icon and Open in Pages.
If you edit the document and email it you will have the choice to send it as a Pages document, a Word document or a PDF file.

Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

You will first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support word documents include Apple's Page app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice Pro HD - when you have an app you should then be able to use 'open in' on the email to save the document to that app.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Pages won't print Word documents

All of a sudden I can't seem to get Pages to print Word documents. Pages documents print fine, but if I send a Word document to the printer, the printer seems to start, but then never prints. I have an Epson Stylus C86. This problem only happens in Pages and only with Word documents.
Any ideas?

Since it only happens with Word docs, I'm wondering if it's a font issue. For the sake experimentation, try highlighting the entire doc, and change fonts, then try printing again.

When I save a Word document as a PDF file and open it, some of the boxes around the text don't show

Hello,
I currently have Abobe Reader X (10.1.2) on Windows 7 and I need to save a Word document currently in A3 as a PDF file to print in A4. For some documents I have no problem printing and all of the text, images, boxes, lines etc. all show up no problem, except for 2 documents where there is a problem. The document fits onto the screen perfectly.
Please help! Thanks

Reader is unable to create PDF files. You must be using some other product, and therefore should post your question in that product's forums.

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

Why will my macbook air not save a word document without word freezing up and not responding?

I recently got a Macbook Air. Whenever I try to save a word document I get the colored pinwheel. After the colored pinwheel appears, I go into force quit and see that Microsoft Word is not responding. This happens every time I try to save a word document. To test the issue I tried to save a blank word document to see if I was just trying to save too much. Even with the blank document I got the pinwheel and the application was not responding. I have had macs before and none of them have had any issues. Please Help!

How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

How can I save my word documents in ICLOUD

You can't directly, as Microsoft don't include iCloud support in their apps.
You'd have to open your Word file in Apple's Pages and save it to iCloud from there.

How do you save a Word document when it says you have no memory?

Connect another disk drive to which you can save the document. Then clear space on your hard drive.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Can't save a word document in pages

hello all, hopefully someone can help me because i am very frustrated with pages. I recently bought my 2011 macbook pro for school this fall. I transferred all my data from old macbook to this macbook. I needed a new word processing program, so I decided to download pages. Since the download I cannot save anything as a word document and for my school you need everything to be a .doc document to open on the schools computers. Every time I try and save a .doc document it comes up with an error saying:The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “essay one”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Being a college student I write 2-3 essays weekly and this is getting ridiculous that I cannot save documents as .doc when it gives me this option. I have went to file get info and went to change my permissions it says my name Danielle: and gives me to options read only and write and read only. It also gives the options of staff and everyone to read only, to write and read, and only for everyone is has the option no access. I really need someone's help!! So if anyone is out there write me back! Thank you!

The point is, where are you trying to save to?
It maybe you do not have privileges on your server.
Have you tried saving elsewhere, such as in your Documents folder, then dragging the file across to wherever it is you want the file?
