How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft Word?

Hi Victoria,
Pages does not run on Windows.
Word cannot open a Pages file.
If you want someone without pages to be able to open your attachment, you will have to send it in a format openable on the recipient's computer.
If the recipient needs only to read the document, the most universal format is pdf. To send a pdf copy of your file, press command-P to open the Print dialogue, then click the PDF button and choose email PDF. This will open a new message in your default email client and attach the pdf file to that message.
If the recipient needs to be able to edit/change your document, and has MS Word, then either Save a copy as a Word file or go File > Export and choose Word as the file format for the export.
Be aware that MS Word does not support all features of Pages (and vice versa), and that formatting of the document may be affected by font substitution if you use fonts that are not available on the recipient's machine.
Regards,
Barry

    Can I safely send the Word Office icons and anything else related to it that shows up in spotlight to the trash?
    You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.
    EDIT: A quick Google search found this link which may help you.

  • How can I put an image in the page header so that it will be repeated on every page?

    Hi to everyone!
    I want to create a Pages template with the logo of our company in the page header.
    I'd like to put that image (logo) in the page header so that it will be repeated on every page but it will not modify the content of the page.
    Anyone know how to achive this, or something similar without have to copy-paste that image every time we add a page to the document?
    Thanks in advance

    Takashi,
    Turn off the Page Headers (not absolutely necessary, but since you don't need it, why not)
    Put your Graphic on the page and make the following settings:
    Then Insert > Text Box and make the same settings as for the graphic.
    Place your "Header text" in the text box and arrange the box and graphic as you want them. Move both to Section Master using the Arrange menu.

  • How can you save a pages document so it can be opened in Microsoft Word

    How can I save a pages document so it can be opened in a Windows (Word) program?

    Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages  document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word
    Download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu to learn more about how Pages works.

  • How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

    How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!  I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

    That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar.  I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade.  We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

    Whow that is a long time ago. If I remember well, even then bookmarking was enabled by default, Resume Data were sent. Did you try it out on the LMS? Because even though all claim to be SCORM compliant, they don't always have all the functionality

    You're not addressing Apple here. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. If you want to contact Apple, use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to do so.
    Best of luck.

    hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
    also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.

  • Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?

    Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?  I do not want to purchase Pages unless I can use it for this one very specific purpose.  How can I determine the correct answer before purchase?
    Many thanks for any guidance you can offer.

    Hmmm ... I see the font in my Font Book and in Suitcase Fusion, but it doesn't appear on the list of fonts in either Word for Mac or Text Edit, no matter what I tried.  I attempted quitting all applications, cleaning the cache using Suitcase Fusion, and rebooting the computer, but no dice.
    You think this is an installation or configuration problem my local Apple store could help fix ... not an underlying incompatibility?  If so, I will take it in.
    Please know I sincerely appreciate the help.  I'm at my rope's end on a project this evening and truly grateful for the reinforcement.  Thank you.

    It opens for me OK, though it is very slow. If waiting a bit doesn't do it you could try clearing your browser's cache.

    Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
    Get MacScan...

    But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
    Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

  • How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?

    How do I burn a CD or DVD that can be opened on a Windows PC?
    Here's what we tried - and none of this worked when we tried the CD and DVD at our local library on their Dell, Compaq and IBM PCs.
    1. We have 11 documents composed in Word (2004) in .rtf format with many, many photos embedded. The documents are in a folder.
    We first created a disk image of the folder using Disk Utility: File> Create image from folder. Once we had the .dmg which was about 1.16 GB we burned this onto a DVD choosing no compression and no encryption. This DVD worked fine on the MBP but it wasn't even recognized by any of the PCs at the library.
    2A. We tried to compress the folder to burn it onto a CD. In DU, by choosing compression with no encryption we reduced it to about 530MB. For some unknown reason when we tried to burn this onto a CD using DU, we got the message that the CD didn't have enough space. It is a 700MB CD so that made no sense - does anyone know why this would occur?
    2B. So, we went to the Finder to use its burn option. We were able to put the 530MB compressed folder which we created in DU onto a CD using the Finder. Again, this worked fine on the Mac. At the library this CD was recognized by the PCs, but Word couldn't open it. Once we got a message that it was too large to be opened (bigger than 32MB!) - the librarian did not recognize this as a default that they might have set. Mostly, we got the message that Windows could not open the document.
    What should we have done? What should we do to achieve this? I know there must be a way.

    Thanks for the extra info, K.
    This sounds like a good idea, but the CD is a gift for a friend in India and presenting him with a flash drive just won't be the same. (Although I suppose we could take the drive with us and burn something there - but that's too risky if it fails on the ground and besides, what we'd have on the drive would be Mac created, unless you have an idea on how to get around that - DU DVD/CD master? convert?)
    {Little space is gained by putting a .dmg file inside a .zip file; I've checked with some
    of mine and often it isn't really a deal maker to add a step in this process.}
    The original folder as a dmg was 1.16GB too big for a CD. As a compressed file done in DU it was about 530MB and as a zip it is 450 or thereabouts. The files are on the MBP and I am on the G4 now and it is not turned on.
    The fairly easy to use application the link takes you to, has almost no learning curve.
    It will not compress an item, but you can easily; to include putting items in folders and
    then use Create Archive to make them one package...
    The Burn 2.3 utility makes Mac+PC compatible disc recordings, in DVD and CD media.
    The simple interface is why it is handy. Otherwise, one could probably get by with the
    other methods which are native to the Mac; through other steps...
    I'm not sure what I am gaining at this point in time by doing this - if you both think archive (zip) and burn from finder will work.
    This does sound like something we can definitely use in the future, thanks.

    All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library.  I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.  It takes me to this page.  Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012.  Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto

    Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP?  If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
