How do I get Pages to close documents on quit?

Sometime in the recent past a change was made to Pages.... it use to close all documents on quit, and ask to save things. Now it just quits and holds onto all the documents, so by now I have a million open documents when I open Pages, since it never closes anything on quit. How do I set it to close documents on quit.... because most of the time this is how I clear my desktop/workspace of documents I'm done with. Currently they never close unless I specifically close each one individually....and at this point Pages is useless to me.
Thanks

You might consider System Preferences > General > Close windows when quitting an application. Right above it, is Ask to keep changes when closing documents. If you select that, you can quit from Pages, and it will challenge you to Save your content, or revert to the prior version edit. The following is the dialog you receive from Pages v5 with this setting when you just Quit the application.

    How do I get pages 5.2 to automatically update the date in my documents - before the update I could do this. Does anybody have the knowledge or a workaround.
    If not I will dump pages 5.2 and use my old version!!! this feature is important for any and all businesses using pages??
    Any advice on how to achieve this is greatly appreciated
    I use a number of macs all using OSX

    I have the same problem.
    What confuses me is that all the apple provided templates in pages seem to auto update their time and date upon opening.
    So there MUST be a way to do it... Ive been unable to work out how...

  • I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

    I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

    This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

    If the icons are from dmg files that were used to install 3rd party apps like this one for VueScan
    Control (right) - click on the open dmg icon and select "Eject  xxxx" from the contextual window.
    Then find the actual dmg file associated with those icons
    and drag to the Trash in the Dock and empty.

  • How can I convert page points into document points??

    Hello,
    How can I convert page points into document points? any API?
    I have found 2 APIs
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ArtworkPointToViewPoint( ) and
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ViewPointToArtworkPoint( )
    but I dont know what is view point and art work point.
    I think artwork point = page points and view points = document points. am I correct ???

    What do you mean by 'document points'? Do you mean document units? Like centimeters or inches? If that, there's no API to do (well, kind of in AIUser.h, but that gives you back a string with a unit suffix). Frankly, its pretty easy to just figure out the conversion values for each type of ruler unit -- there are only five or so you need -- and then write a dinky function that takes a value in one or the other, looks up the current document unit and uses that to convert the value (one function for each way). You just need to figure out everything in terms of points (since pixels == points) -- in that regard, it probably helps to know that 72 pt == 1 inch. From that you can figure out pointer-per-inch|centimeter|millimeter|pica.

  • How can I get my PC office documents onto my new ipad mini

    How can I get my microsoft office documents off my PC and onto my new Ipad mini?

    You will have to install an app to your ipad that can open them. Then you can either use file sharing in itunes to transfere those files to your ipad. Or you can install icloud control panel on your pc, purchase apple's iwork applications, and save the files to icloud.
    iTunes file sharing:
    Transfer files between your computer and mobile apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    ShowTransfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer
    HideTransfer files from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    Click Apps.
    Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select a file to transfer, and click Open.
    The file is transferred to your device, and can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.
