How to open an emailed Word doc in Pages

I emailed myself a Word doc from my MacBook Pro. Need to work on the doc in pages. How can I open and edit the Word doc in Pages?

On your iPad 2 when you receive your email tap and HOLD on the attachment to reveal an Open In dialogue - select Pages and your attached Word document should open.

  • Why can't I open an email word attachment in pages anymore

    When opening an email word attachment I was always given the option to open an attachment in Pages or as a PDF or in Dropbox but this no longer happens. Can anyone tell me if the functionality has been closed off or is it now dealt with in a different way?

    Is the PDF Maker available in Excel? It is necessary to have PDF Maker workinig in OFFICE to be able to import those files.

  • How to open PDF or Word Doc or JPEG in a browser using JSF

    On submit action, I read the byte array data. Along with byte array, I do get the property information like what the bytearray stands for like PDF or Word or JPG etc. How can I display or open this data in the browser accordingly. An action in JSF is causing me to read the bytearray data. Now I want to navigate to a new page to display or open the byte array content.

    You can access the raw servlet response object via the ExternalContext by way of the FacesContext. Then write the bytes directly to the response after setting the proper HTTP headers. Do not forget to call FacesContext.responseComplete().

  • Opening and editing Word docs in Pages

    Hi!
    Whenever I write a document in Pages and export it as a Word document and then opens it again in Pages, maybe afer it have been edited in Word, the table of contents, for one thing, is changed. I noticed that when I open it as a Word document it now contains a lot more styles. For example Sub-heading and Sub-heading A. This is really annoying cause it messes up the document.
    Can I change this in any way and get it to look like the Pages document I had before?
    Thanks

    Well I'm glad you have found a workaround. It's difficult for me to understand how your document was being messed up.
    I thought you had Word. To clarify what I was talking about, Word deals with styles slightly differently to Pages. In Pages all the styles are associated with the document. When Word opens a document it adds a whole bunch of styles to what's already in there from what it calls document and global templates - this is the source of the extra styles that irritated you. These templates are associated with each user of Word.
    The only other thing you could do is ask the people editing your document with Word to override Word's default behaviour of introducing styles from global templates. Many long time Word users that I know wouldn't understand what I was talking about

  • How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

    Hi-
    I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
    My Workflow so far:
    1. Get Finder items
    2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
    3. Rename selected items
    4. Open selected items (Word docs)
    Three problems occur.
    The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
    The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
    The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.

    Hi there Jeremy,
    to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
    These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
    Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
    This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    set allItems to every item of input
    repeat with currItem in allItems
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    open currItem
    end tell
    activate application "TextWrangler"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextWrangler"
    delay 2
    --when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
    --I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    --save the doc
    keystroke "s" using command down
    delay 5
    --close the doc
    keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    end run</pre>
    The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
    You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
    You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...
    regards

  • I opened a word doc in pages but when I went to edit the doc all I could do is activate boxes of text....no cursor or keyboard showed up.  How do I edit an imported doc?

    I imported and opened a word doc to pages.  When I went to edit all I got was highlighted boxes of text....no cursor or keyboard.  How do I edit an imported doc in Pages?

    No, it's a document I created and it's not locked.   I did it at work and sent it to Pages so I could work at home.   It opens but I can't type or edit.

    You can't.
    The components of MS Office 2004 (which includes Word 2004) are PowerPC apps. In order to run PowerPC apps in Snow Leopard and earlier on an Intel Mac required the assistance of Rosetta software. Lion does not support Rosettta, so such apps can not be used in Lion.
    In order to use your documents in Lion, you will need to -
    • update the apps to a current version, ones which do work in Lion
    • migrate the docs to other compatible apps which do run in Lion, such as Pages.

  • How To?  Default all Word Docs to Open In Pages?

    If I right click on a doc, I can select to always open THAT doc in Pages - but - is there a way I can set the system to open ALL Word docs in Pages. I want Word to be a last resort only.
    Thanks!
    Mark

    mctheriot,
    Yes, there is. Type cmd-I (Get Info), select Pages from the list (or navigate to it), then click the Change All button. That's all there is to it.

    how can I edit a word doc received in my icloud mailbox on my ipad?

    You need a compatible app in which to save it such as Pages or Documents to Go.
    Find an app that is compatible with Word that you want to purchase and then after you download that app - go to that email and you can select the "open In" option. Tap and hold down on the open document in the email and select "open In' and select the app that you purchased.

  • HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

  • How to associate 1997-2003 Word doc files with Word 2010?

    Hi
    I am surprised not to be able to find out how to associate word 1997-2003 Word files with Wrod 2010. The object is to have Word 2010 open the document when I click on the document. Many of my Word 1997-2003 documents were created using Word 2010.
    When I try to use the associations function in Windows 7 I cannot find the Word program. Checking "Properties" on the Word Icon leads to a program called "CVH.EXE" which does nothing when I try to open doc files with it.
    Thank you.

  • I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message:  Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

    Julian,
    Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
    Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
    There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.
