Help please! Resume isn't going from .pages to .doc

My resume is exactly how I'd like it to look in .pages format but I've tried EVERYTHING to change it to a .doc document because a lot of employers are asking for resumes and cover letters in a word (.doc) format ONLY. Of course I can save it as a pdf but that is not agreeable to some of them. I have the Microsoft Office for MAC software and I've tried exporting it...copy paste...even rebuilding it from scratch and every time I save it and email it to myself as a .doc document it comes out looking NOTHING like what I see when I am in Word working on it. The font is different, spacing is off, etc....HELP!! Is there any way whatsoever to make my resume from pages look exactly the same when it is a .doc document?

M,
It's possible that your Pages design is simply impossible to reproduce in Word because of some feature in Pages that doesn't exist in Word. If that's the case, you would be better off doing the whole thing in Word from start to finish, sad to say. It's a good thing that you have Office for Mac available. When you are dealing with businesses, whether they are clients or prospective employers, you have to bend to their wills. This may mean using Pages for your internal work and Office or one of its clones for times when only Word is accepted. That's part of the cost of doing business.

  • I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • Going from Pages to EPUB using InDesign?

    Is there a guide for going from a Pages document to EPUB using InDesign? The target is a book that is over 105K words for 425 pages.
    I am an absolute beginner with InDesign and I was hoping to more finely control the outcome of EPUB generation by using InDesign rather than outputting from Pages using Export to EPUB. Unfortunately, ID isn't quite as intuitive as I had hoped it would be and I've run up against the wall.
    Do I load each chapter as a separate document and then collect them as a book file? Or can the book be loaded as one document? I've been trying as one document, but I can't it to appear in the main editing window. (It shows up fine in the story editing, but that gets tedious very quickly.)
    Last, while ID creates EPUB files, can it generate a MOBI or AZW file for the Amazon Kindle? I found no references for in concerning ID in the documentation, but thought I'd ask anyway.

    Thanks, Steve!
    I've already been hand-building the CSS & EPUB files. I was just hoping that InDesign would make it easier. Clearly, that's not the case.
    Apple's Pages does a very good job generating an EPUB which only requires a minimal amount of tweaking to the CSS to give it a final polish and further adjustments for e-readers other than an iOS device. Generating the MOBI/AZW for Kindle requires a bunch of jumping through hoops to prepare, which was what I was hoping to avoid.
    A few days to release, I have plenty of time get get the ebooks ready.
    A good heads up for any competent programmers out there—of which I am not—there is a huge market of self-publishing authors in need of a program that can take a RTF, Word or Pages formatted document and smoothly turn it into an EPUB or AZW file.

  • 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.

  • Need help with iphone 4s activation goes from hello to country to network and will not activate on network or itunes i am original owner with no  obvious problems with phone any ideas

    need any ideas on iphone trying to use again but now it goes from hello to country to network then tries to activate but on wifi and itunes both say sever unavailable any ideas?

    That message usually means that your phone was once connected to a different phone carrier than the one you're currently on.
    Then when you restore or updated the phone it locked back to the original phone carrier - this is caused when the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier.
    Very rarely is the activation server unavailable.

  • Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line?  Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

    Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose.  Any advice?  Not the most sophisticated user.

    Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

  • Help please to Upload a file from my PC to server's KM

    Hello:

    My problem is after that I've uploaded any file from my PC to KM, sometimes when I open or download it from the KM appears blank, and when I try another way to write the file (out.write()) I've uploaded a bad file that can't be downloaded or opened it.

  • Help please - Synching Word text with web pages

    Hi,
    I'm creating a welcome page to display in our company's front lobby to welcome guests. Another department is going to be in charge of updating names, so want I'm trying to do is insert a Word document in each cell where names will change. Files are named "Guest Name 1," "Guest Name 2," etc. I'm trying to find a way where these Word docs can be "linked" to cells instead of placed so when the names are changed and resaved, the name changes synch on the web page as well. Does anyone know if this is possible, or how to do this? Or if there's an easier way?
    I appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Hi Joey,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The screen in the lobby will point to a web address, similiar to an internet page. We have our own server. I'm not in IT, so I don't know all the details, but I know the page will be similar to our intranet.
    I've never made a dynamic site before. Can you tell me what that means? And if another work station is responsible for adding guest names to the guest screen, would they need special software to make changes?
    Thanks again!
    Jeff

  • Help, please. Unable to restore from time machine.

    Please help. I need to get my imace working again asap with all my information.

    First, to the why. Shear silliness. It's a long story, but I needed to access a website that was cached to view its source code (long story) but only the version in the cache. Unfortunately, I opened that website after the important code had been removed thus removing the old cache version (it's one of those sites that saves only your most recent visit). In an effort to retrieve this information I had the not so brilliant idea to restore my computer. I didn't realize at the time that I propably could solely restore just the cache and not the entire machine. However, in my mind it should have made no difference. Just simply restoring from a backup. Afterall, thats why we backup.
    Second, how early? To a version 12 hours younger. So, everything should have been up to date.
    Here's some even newer information:
    Last night, before your reply, I was able use the command + R function on boot up again. This time I reinstalled the operating system using wifi. The computer is now working, but did not restore. During the installation I was given the option using migration assistant to use my most recent backup. I did this, following the directions given (it's pretty simple--just click when it tells you to). Despite it saying that the migration worked my computer doesn't have any of my old stuff.
    I really need to get my info back. I had thought this is why we use time machine and allow it to backup my system a billion times. Its very frustrating that this is not working.

  • Help me download pdf without going through Pages first

    SO I was in a hurry one day. A window pooped up asking how I wanted to open a .pdf I clicked down to Pages (because I erroneously thought it would save me time moving the info to a thesis paper.) I must have also clicked do this every time, because well, it tries (and fails) everytime.
    I have already done the trick where you click on any pdf file
    go to the Open with: menu and change it to preview (or adobe, whatever)
    then click change all
    but the computer still tries (and fails) to open it with Pages first.
    I can click on the pdf in my download folder and it opens correctly now, though
    so how do I get it to stop using pages when it first downloads?
    thanks in advance

  • Help Please - Pdf shows/ reads some white pages when opened by some  people

    I have made a pdf book of my artworks ( on a mac) and have a major problem. When I send it out, some people are able to read everything but others get a couple of white blank pages when they view the pdf online or download it or sometimes only either one. It seems to always be the pages that are just black and white...
    However when i try to open the same file i sent them but on my computer at home( MAC) or at work(PC), it works fine.
    But on my Iphone, i get the same problem as these people with the same pages turning blank...
    All Pages of the book were made in photoshop. I saved them as pdf individually before combining everything to a pdf book and i had this problem. Then I tries to save all in jpg and then convert and combine them to a pdf book, still get the same problem.... Some people get white pages....
    Help much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Help please with re-installing PhotoshopCS6 from purchased CD

    I received a message when I last attempted to open Photoshop CS6. It was from Adobe and requested me to uninstall Photoshop CS6 and then to re-install it. I am unable to do so - the message informs that errors are encountered. I had a chat online with Adobe and was instructed to dowload a new update for Adobe Appliacation Manager which I have done. I have restarted the computer but still receive error messages when attempting to install from my purchased CD.
    From the outset of the purchase about one year ago I have had issues with the registration. On another Adobe online forum, Jeff A Wright, an Adobe staff member, provided a temporary fix that has progressed no further despite requests online to him.
    I use Photoshop CS6 in real time combined with Powerpoint to teach photography in a university setting and really need to be able to utilize the program that I purchased.
    Please assist me in getting it back.
    Thanks for any assistance. Stan

    Just looked again and opened the error summary file - the files are listed here.
    I have been to the CD and intalled the files listed in the error mesage. STILL NO SUCCESS
