How do I unlock placeholders when editing a Word document in Pages

I think that this is a placeholder problem. The final word of a sentence is now on the next line - when I put the cursor in front of this word and hit the delete button the second last word of the sentence now comes down onto the second line. Any suggestions please?

No it simply means you have deleted the space between the 2 words and for some reason the layout won't fit the last or the last two words on the previous line. Perhaps there is also a non-breaking space between them.
We can't see your document but you can:
Menu > View > Show Invisibles/Layout
And try and work out what is causing your text to be positioned as it is. Word wrap around objects can cause text to move and various line breaking rules, like orphans and widows can keep lines together etc.

  • I have a new MacBook ProI have a new MacBook Pro. When I try to edit a Word document in any way I get a screen that says Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; that I may lose the info. I was working on and I can't recover my work. Help?

    After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?

    This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

    Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

    Hi
    I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently.  I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc)  . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
    decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title .  It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
    There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup  column not display well while editing in word.
    Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
    I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.

    Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
    As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
    I  would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.
    Thanks,

    when I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc.  This is causing me serious problems.  How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

    Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

  • HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    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).

  • How do I change a PDF to a word document?

    How do i change aa PDF to a word document?

    In Mac preferred method (because it uses Adobe's PDF engine):
    Save file as word Document (for Backup)
    Go to Print Menu
    Click and hold on PDF button until context menu appears
    Choose Adobe PDF
    Wait for menu to change - choose quality (this eqivelent to job options in Distiller) and turn off open with Reader (or Acrobat)
    Then click okay to go to nex window item
    Either use Title assigned or change (I usually remove references to Microsoft Word-, and .docx so it just shows as for example Joes.pdf),
    Browse (pick out) to desired save Location.
    Click Save.
    Go to location saved and open.
    Notes: Expect to multiple PDF if the Word document page have switches in Page orientations.
    URL links won't cme over with this method.
    To have Urls to be active (except those created with the Format menu > URL)
    Do the following:
    Locate the Word Document
    Locate the acrobat Icon on the Dock (similar to Start up menu on PC)
    Drag the word document to the icon of Acrobat on Dock and Drop
    Wait ........... You might have enough time to boil you a pot of coffee
    When PDF pops up on screen save at once!
    You will now have a document that will have live MailTo's and URL's except for those created with the URL wizard ( select desired word> go to Formtat menu > URL >when opens type desired URL or Mailto)
    This is a 15 year old bug Adobe refuses to fix. Don't bleive the blather the put out bout the proper hook in Mac Version That's been proven as false years ago.

  • How can i save word documents to pages? I have an illegal copy of word but want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  I'm a writer and need to preserve my word documents.

    I have an illegal copy of word and I want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud.  How can I save my word documents to pages
    so that they are not lost in this upgrade?  I do not have the disk to reinstall word after the upgrade.

    You might want to post your question in the Pages forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
    Also if it's the Office 2004 version of Word it won't work in Lion since it's a Power PC program. Office 2008 will work in Lion if it's already installed when you upgrade. But it won't install on Lion because the installer program uses Power PC code. Office 2011 is the only one that will install and work on Lion.
