How do I stop pages claiming I have a new document.

Hi,
Everytime I use pages to open an existing document and then try to close it asks if I want to save this new document. How do I make it just save and then close. I don't have a new document to save, I just want to update what I have and close the program. It also keeps jumping to icloud, but I just want it saved locally on my laptop.
Help  much appreciated.

Is the existing document already a Pages document? Or are you opening a Word or RTF or text document in Pages & expecting nothing to happen when you close it? When you open a "foreign" document in Pages, you're not actually opening that document, Pages is translating it into a Pages document, leaving the original untouched. Until you save it as a .pages document you will get that warning.

  • How can I stop pages from wanting to make every document into an outline?

    Every time I try to create a document in Pages, it insists in turning it into an outline.  How do I type a staright document?

    Have you tried starting from a different template?
    As far as I can tell the Outline setting is contained in the document, so this should only happen if you are starting from a template that was saved with Show Document Outline selected.

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

    how can i stop Pages and Numbers  screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

    Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
    the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
    but thanks anyway. SG.
    if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
    (it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
    restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
    maybe i need a new Mac ?
    mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

    Sign out of iMessage on the iPad.  If you are using the same AppleID on both devices for iMessage, that is expected behavior.

    Install it on the iMac using the same method you used to install it on your MacBook.

  • How can I change the format of the default new document?

    Hi, I've recently upgraded to Pages 5.1 and am wondering how I can change the formatting of the default 'new document' template. Any suggestions would be most welcome,

  • How can I stop Pages converting the second letter in a postcode into lowercase?

    Ever since I had a new upgrade to Pages last year it converts the second letter of a postcode to lowercase even though I have the caps lock on.  How can I stop it doing this?  eg SW15 1QZ becomes Sw15 1QZ.

    Try:
    Menu > Pages > Preferences > Auto-Correction > uncheck Fix Capitilization
    or anything else there that might apply.

  • Someone is accessing my itunes account using my apple id and password. How do I stop this? I have changed my apple id and password, will that be sufficient? How do I keep this from happening? No one knows my id and password, my kids have their own.

    I have an Iphone 4s. I noticed today that someone has been downloading music using my apple id and password. No one knows my id or password. Not even my children. How can I stop them from using it? How can I keep it from happening again?

    Changing your password should be sufficient, that should be required to be entered to download anything from the store.
    In case it's the new U2 album that you are referring to, then that was given to free to everyone last month - you can remove the album if you don't want it on your account : http://itunes.com/soi-remove
    If not, and if you've been charged, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I stop Pages from changing the date of a document?

    It seems that at some point not long ago, I set Pages to use the current date when I use a template that I made.  But now, when I open an existing document that was made with that template, the date is changed to the current date.  I certainly do not want that to happen.  Does anyone know what I can do to stop Pages from doing this?  Thanks so much for any input.
    Al
    Update:  Immediately after posting this question, I found the simple answer:  double clicking the date and unchecking the 'automatic update' box.

    Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.
