Help with doc. Files in pages

I've been sent a word doc from work, it's one page, but when I open it in pages it decides to spread it across two pages, it's an editable file which I need to fill in each week and send back, would like to be able to keep it to one page, any ideas? Thank you in advance

You do not need to use Pages which is not a clone of MsWord.
There are differences to how Pages renders a layout and MsWord renders a layout.
Use LibreOffice [free] instead.

Problems opening .doc file in pages?

Hi this is my first post so please redirect me if this question has already been answered. Ok, I am trying to open a .doc file that I typed in Officesuite pro 6 on my Kindle Fire 2G, and after I have downloaded it to my mac (2006 iMac running OS X 10.6.8), I try to open it and I get this error:
Please tell me if I need to use a converter, rewrite it, or do whatever needs to be done to get it opened. By the way I am using iWork '09.
Thanks for your help!

Even though it is labeled as a .doc file, obviously Pages knows it wasn't created with Word. First, you might see if TextEdit can open it & re-save it as .doc or .rtf & see if Pages would recognize it. Another option would be to use a free Office clone such as LibreOffice to open & re-save it.
Or it just could be the # in the file name. Try renaming the file & see what happens.

Hi,
Office programs are specific. They will create a temp file when edit, then the temp file will be deleted when close. So Delete permission is needed for users to saving Office files like Excel/Word.
For more detaile information, please refer to the thread below:
Special Permissions - User cannot save files

What I read in the PDF version of the manual (while I was waiting for my plane this afternoon), it seems pretty comprehensive. I was particularly interested in what it had to say about creating your own templates.
Supposedly, it will remember if I left invisibles showing in templates (one of my big complaints with Pages 1). I'll find out soon enough. I must say that opening my two documents I use for answering posts here in discussions sure did open faster & navigating an 11-page table was much faster.
Another good thing I noticed, the font used for the serial number is much clearer & there were no confusing characters - O/0, S/5, etc.

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:

Problem with opening doc. files in pages '09

Hello, can anybody help me, ever since i installed " snow leopard" v10.6.2, pages '09 doesn't open doc. files ( word ) anymore.
Even documents produced in pages en ""saved as" a word document can't be opened again.
Keep receiving pop up whit message " can not be opened"
Yves
Message was edited by: deschutter

You need to manually install the 10.6.2 "Combo" version, there were problems with just using the regular update.

Can't open .doc files in Pages with Snow Leopard

I just installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Pages can no longer open .doc files. I receive the error message: "The document “XXX.doc” couldn’t be opened."
(Operating with iWork 09)
Help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
But now I don't have the option "save as" word document as I used to before I installed the update for snow leopard. It only lets me save as iwork '06 or '05.
That's Pages 3/iWork '08. You may have both iWork '08 & '09 on your Mac & '08 has opened. You can have more than one version, I have three, but you'll need to find a way to identify each one. I have changed the icons for two of the versions & have aliases to each in a folder where I added the version number. This way I can know which one I'm opening & they look different in my Dock. Do not add a version number to the actual application, the updaters then won't find them. (Can you tell I like changing icons? )

Why can't I import succefully .doc files in Pages? (Images problem)

Hi!
I bought pages for iPad a week ago and I have a problem!
I have PDF files that I convert to .doc/.docx fils with adobe acrobat pro.
I upload these files to iCloud, and I load them from Pages.
And then images are totally messed up!
See by yourself (Just look at the pages 2/3):
Original PDF :

I also saved .docx in compatibility mode in Word!
Can someone help me?

Fixed by editing Acrobat settings to export as doc (especially removing OCR!)

Opening .doc files in pages

Someone has sent me a .doc word file and when i right click 'open in pages' a window is displayed reading 'the file format is invalid'. It's strange because this has never happened before and we haven't done anything different to what we normally do regarding opening .doc files etc.
It doesn't open in text edit either. Does anyone have any work around? Free word software anywhere on the internet?
Really need some help with this, hours of work has gone into this file we can't open!! And now it might be lost!
Cheers,
Jamie McIntyre

The simple soluce would be to ask the author for a document using a format which you will be able to read.
A message which I like to send is: +"Your xyz.doc document is not recognized as a standard format on my machine so it was deliberately deleted. If you wish that I read it's contents, use an other format. Don't try with PowerPoint, it would be trashed too."+
Is it too complicated?
My guess is that the document uses the most recent .doc format. If I'm right, as thisformat was not defined when Pages 3 was built, the described behavior is not surprising.
I don't know the details of this file format.
You may send it to my mailbox, I will be glad to look at its internals. (the readable contents is not what I'm interested to.

Problem opening .doc files in pages/.xls files in numbers...

My hard drive recently failed and has been replaced. Since the new hard drive was installed, I am unable to open .doc files with pages or .xls files with numbers. I never had this problem before.

I have I-work 09 [Pages 4.0 (727)]
This is the same version I had before (I think) -- At the Apple Store they used a new I-Work disc to install it onto the new hard drive.
I hope someone can help with this!
Thank you!

Can't open doc. files in pages

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Pages won't let me open doc files.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Also...I was just thinking about upgrading to the newer iLife09.
Would that be a better thing to do running Snow Leopard and what not?
And if I do upgrade to iLife09, I'll still be able to open iLife08 documents.
Thanks

iLife & iWork are two separate software packages/suites sold by Apple. I do believe you mean iWork '08.
Many users are finding problems with the iWork apps in Snow Leopard due to not having the latest updates as of the September 28 installed. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Opening a .doc file in Pages results in Untitled document?

Hi all!
I've reinstalled iWork '06, along with the rest of my OS, and I've noticed something strange: if I set Pages as default to open .doc files, every time I double-click on a .doc file, Pages opens it in an Untitled document.
Of course, when it comes to saving changes, Pages asks me to save them in the Untitled, not in the original document. No matter that I exported the file in .doc in Pages in the first place, it just doesn't save it.
How come?

Before Pages 3/iWork '08, Pages opened any "foreign" document (Word, AppleWorks, text, RTF) as an untitled Pages document, just as it does a template. When you export a document, you're doing just that, not saving it. Pages "knows" you haven't saved it as a Pages document so the title doesn't change until you do save it.
Since Pages 3, a "foreign" document will have the name of the original with the .pages extension added. But the rest of the process is the same.

Help with using a web page from disk after saved from web

Hi, I almost forgot the little I learned about web page development, so, I'm a total noob when it comes to this and I need your help.
I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page but when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it. I'm mostly interested in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away. I can see the image files downloaded to my hard drive and if I open the page in Dreamweaver it displays these images in the preview pane but I can't make them show in the browsers. From Dreamweaver I saved the page as in the folder where the images are and this also updated the code with the relative image links but the browsers still don't show them.
I will greatly appreciate your help with this.

I'm sorry, but your post is very confusing
I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page
Does this include site definitions?
when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it.
I dont know what this means...are there images that are not being displayed? Is there styling that is not being rendered?
. I'm mostly interested in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away.
Again, I dont know what this means?

Do you have a link to the page, and perhaps some explanation that is more clear as to what your issue is.

Help with importing files

Hello everyone,
FYI
[I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
server]
I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
I have a topic and I go to create a text.
I highlight the text I want linked
go to "Insert hyperlink"
choose "Link to file"
Browse to my file.
When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
project. I click yes.
I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
well most of the time it does)
I save, check everything in.
When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
found"
Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
doing. :(
Thanks,
mj

Hi MJ,
Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
that are generated to a different location than where the working
files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
working for me.
Regards,
Fred
