Mark,
Pages documents can only be opened on a Mac, or on an iOS device. If you want your Wndows computer-using friends to be able to see your work created in Pages you must Export your Pages document to either PDF or Word format.

  • Just updated to Lion.  Didn't realize things like reading a Word document would not be supported.  How do I get these files back and how I do read them going forward?  When a PC user sends me a word document won't I be able to open it and read it?

    Just updated to Lion today, 11/22/11.  I did not realize things likes reading a Word document would not be supported.  "You cannot open this because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  How am I supposed to read and open Word documents from PC users?  Any insight is helpful, thanks!

    You have Word 2004 which is PPC based. Lion is not able to execute PPC code. You have to upgrade. Or you can do as I do an open them in Pages, since I refuse to allow anything from Microsloth on my Mac.

  • I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

    I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

    Hi,
    WARNING
    it´s impossible (for me) to open Pages 5 documents in Pages 4, which is absolutely no go. You can open any f..... word.doc but no pages 4.
    Apple is getting worser every day, it´s a shame. There is no information about this before you buy it.
    So now you have to ask your friends or colleagues to convert a pages 5 document to a word document, so you can open it with pages 4. Hoiw ridiculous is that?
    Pages 5 is a joke. In 5.0 they forgot to manage the task-bar, which came shortly after 4 weeks or so in 5.1.
    The only good: you can run ist parallelly to pages 4.3 but it´s not worth the money.

  • I created a document in Pages 5.2, emailed it to someone, who emailed it back with changes, but I cannot open it now. Why?

    I created a document in Pages 5.2.  I emailed this document to a friend through gmail in Safari.  My friend made changes and emailed it back to me.  When I click to download the document, Pages tells me it cannot open it.  I have created 4 documents like this and each one has had the same problem when emailed back to me.  Why?

    If you are also using Pages, but version 5.2, then I'm not sure how they read it if they are using 4.3. But for the two of you not to have problems you need to use the same version of Pages because as OS X has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion to Mavericks to Yosemite Apple has changed the version of Pages, but each version of Pages is not fully downward compatible.
    If they cannot upgrade OS X in order to use the Yosemite version of Pages that you use, then you should use Word documents. They should be able to Import/Read a Word document as well as Save or Export in Word format. Of course, they could just start using Office for OS X 2011 which would make things better all around.

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

  • Ive created a document into Pages which I want to upload into MailChimp for a email marketing campaign.  However, Mailchimp seems to dislike the document. Any ideas?!

    I've created a document in Pages which I want to use as an upload in a email marketing campaign I'm running through Mailchimp.  Mailchimp doesn't seem to like the Pages document and won't upload.  Any ideas?!

    When you contacted the folks at mailchimp what did they have to say?

  • I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
    If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
    Pages
    When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

    Hello
    I added content to a document in Pages on my Mac last night, which was saved to icloud and this morning the additions were gone. Can I get my precious work back? Thanks

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • After updating to the latest IOS 8 on my ipad I do not have any documents on pages, keynotes etc. I have them on my iphone 5S and I can log in on my pc and see al the documents. I have icloud turned on and idrive.

    After updating to the latest IOS 8 on my ipad / iphone etc I do not have any documents on pages, keynotes etc. I have them on my iphone 5S and I can log in on my pc and see al the documents. I have icloud turned on and idrive.
    If I start a new document in pages and then try to share this document with the top ring link in pages "share Link via iCloud" a screen notification tells me to "Set Up iCloud. Go to Settings and select iCloud. Sign in and turn on iCloud Drive for Page".
    When I go to settings I see that I am signed in.
    Please help as I need the documents back on my ipad.

    Did you have iCloud photo stream turned on for photos?  If you did, then you can view your photos at iCloud.com.  If you can verify that they are all there, you can do the factory reset.  Once you turn on iCloud again after the reset, the photos won't be on the phone but they will still be in the photo stream which you can view on the device.  You should be able to copy the photos down to the computer from iCloud.  On an Apple Mac computer, iPhoto can view photo stream and you can download photos there too.
    Personally, with syncing issues with iTunes, I prefer to use an app called PhotoSync (which is an app in the App Store, Mac App Store, and available from the developer's website for Windows PC's.  This App (once turned on for both devices) lets you send photos back and forth within wifi.

  • I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were

    I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

    Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
    As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

  • I created a document in Pages on my ipad and now it won't open up. How can I fix this?

    I created a document on my Ipad and when I finished it, I closed Pages. When I went to re-open Pages and see the document it wouldn't open. I click on the document and it shows the processing symbol but then the entire program closes. All of the other documents within pages open up fine, just not this one. Any help?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • I created a document in pages and had it saved and then exported to send to someone to edit in in Word and ow it is in Word format.. i need to revert it back to my Pages format. help??

    I created a document in a template on pages.. and i saved it.. then I exported it to a Word document to send to someone to edit for me.. i have never done that before i usually use a PDF..and it changed it and won't go back! HELP!

    Again: What version of Pages are you talking about?
    Menu > Pages > About Pages
    Again: Have you tried to open the Word .docx in Pages?
    Pages doesn't save to Word it Exports to Word .doc so there should be a .pages copy on your Mac.

  • HT5534 I down loaded the new  iwork update. Now when I create a document in pages save it and try to open it later some times the message comes that You need a later version of pages. Some times I don't have that problem.

    I hate the new 5.0, and am having the same issue. Because I created or opened and saved several documents in the new 5.0 before I realized how bad it is, I had to figure out how to make them usable again.
    I have both versions of Pages (5.0 and 4.3) in my Dock for now. If a document tells me that it can't be opned by 4.3, I opn 5.0, open the document, EXPORT it in 4.3 with the same name, and overwrite the old document. That usually (big dog willing and the creek don't rise!) gives me access to my work.
    Once I am sure I have no remaining 5.0 douments around, I'll take 5.0 out of the dock.
    It truly is a pain in the ***. Here's the comment I left for Apple –
    I am now attempting to uninstall Pages 5.0 so I can go back to using Pages 4.3. The designers of 5.0 took away (or hid) so many of the functions that I've come to know and trust that I am appalled.
    It is now a kindergarten version of the workhorse I knew and loved. IT EVEN LOOKS like a dumbed-down app now, with cartoon buttons that reflect its audience – people who don't need a sophisticated, customizable publishing tool, who just need simple  icons they can point at LIKE A FAST FOOD CASH REGISTER.
    I'll be using either 4.3 or Word for Mac from here on out.

  • Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

    Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

    There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
    I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
    If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

  • How do I transfer a document from Pages on my iPad to Word on my laptop?

    I want to get the app but I want to know how to view one document in both Pages and Word.

    There are several ways to get the document to your Mac. If you use iCloud with Pages, you can download the document from iCloud.com on the Mac even if you are running less than Mountain Lion. I have an older iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11 and I can access my Pages files in the cloud. You can email the file or you can use file sharing in with iTunes as well.
    If you are using Word, you will have to convert the file to Word format first. With the document open in Pages on the iPad, you tap on the wrench icon in the upper right, and then select Share and Print. In the next window select either Email or copy to iTunes (if using file sharing). Then you will get the option in which format you want to send the file, Pages, Word or PDF. Select Word, the file will be converted and then go from there.
    You can also send the file to DropBox in the latest version of Pages for iOS.
