How to save a Pages document as a Word file

I downloaded the new version of Pages hoping for better Word compatibility. To be honest I can't see any difference in the compatibility.
Apple says on their page for Pages 5.0 that you can save Pages documents as Word files. "You can save Pages documents as Word files. Or import and edit Word documents right in Pages." Since they say "save" and not "export", I figured I could treat it like I would in Word. Do I still have to export the document or can I now just save it as a Word file without ending with duplicates?

You have to Export.

  • HT2693 how can i save my pages document as a PDF file or jpeg now?

    Name of Pages document is RoomscheduleSTAYATBROMMA#2-?
    I'm afraid that your choice if names is the problem. Try "RoomSched2X", or similar, and let us know how it goes. If that works you can try some other names of your own choosing.

  • I can not export Pages document into a Word file

    Please help! I have researched many feeds in regards to my issue. None of the suggestions seem to work. I need to export a Pages document into a Word file and get the error messge "an unknown error has occured". I have attempted to "Save as" and export directly from the file menu. All of my fonts have been validated. Not sure what my other options are. Can anyone give any insight? Thanks

    In case if the files are missing for the once you have in your book module they can have issues exporting as PDF or JPEG.
    Please check the same and replace the files which are missing or attach the same and then try exporting the same.

  • How to save a pages document on the ipad2

    How do I save a pages document on the ipad2 or how do I print a pages document.  I have a n epson835 on a wireless network.   I can scan or print a web page  from the ipad, but I cannot print from pages. The instruction seems to require saving the pages document, but all I can do is share the document via several methods.
    Thank you
    John McDonald

    Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
    You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network.  If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
    To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

  • How to save a Pages document so that it can be uploaded to Facebook as a graphic?

    Hi,
    I need to make event posters for my job and I use Pages as the layout program to do this.  But when I try to upload a Pages poster design to our Facebook page it will not upload the file.  I am using the "attach photo" option to try to upload the posters but have not been able to do it.  To circumvent this problem I have had to print out the poster, then scan it as a jpeg and then upload it.  A lot of trouble and wasted ink.  Is there a way to upload pages documents to Facebook that I am unaware of?
    I am using Pages '08.
    Thank you for any help.

    Other than a PDF, you can't save as an image directly from Pages, but you can do it with the software on your Mac. Export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer. TIFF is also clear but usually a large file.

  • How to save a Pages document to upload to the web

    I have created a document in Pages '08.  It was designed for print (11" x 17") and 2 pages long.  I saved it both as a pdf and as a png file but the file size is too large to put on our website (maximum 10 mb).  How can I save this file with a reduced file size to upload to our web page?

    I am looking in Pages '09, it is possible that is somewhere else in Pages '08 or was only introduced in Pages '09. Look through all of your Menus and in your Pages '08 User Guide.
    If it is not there, follow through the other advice which is crop and reduce your images to 72 dpi resolution, preferably as .jpegs, or replace where possible with .pdf vectors both of which form smaller graphics files.
    The best solution would be to reconstruct your document asa proper web page so the parts load individually or make a link to the larger .pdf file for people to download.

  • When I save a pages document as a word document it changes!

    I have created a document in pages. When I save as word document, it gets funky! Things shift all over.
    Also, when I save as a pdf, many people complain they cannot open it, and if they can, it is illegible.
    How do I fix both of these?

    The fonts aren't supposed to be embedded. They are embedded.
    After that, you may have applications proving that they are unable to display chars with the embedded datas but this is an other problem.
    The Apple tool creating PDF embed fonts ( in fact a subset restricted to the really used characters ) since it's first delivery.
    I bought the Countdown font more than ten years ago, so it may be described as an old one. It's made of two files : a bitmap one and a postscript one. Which is the worst structure given the late versions of the Apple tool.
    My guess is that your problems where linked to the fact that Apple continue to create PDFs according to the version 1.3 when many appli are now assuming version 1.6 or higher.

  • Making a Pages document compatible with Word and Full-screen view

    Hi there! I would like to know if it is necessary to have Microsoft Office installed on my computer in order to be able to save a Pages document as "Microsoft Word" compatible. As of now, when I select the "Save As" option, I'm only able to save my document as a iWork 06 and 05 file. Also, I've noticed that on the video tutorials online, there is a "full-screen" mode and I was wondering if it was available on iWork 08, or if it is only for iWork 09. Thank, and sorry if these questions have been answered before!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    No, you don't need Office installed. That's the whole idea. Go to File > Export & choose Word (or text, rtf or pdf). The option to "save as" Word has been added in Pages 4/iWork '09 as well as in export.

  • HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

    I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

    Ashe,
    In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

    Use PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.
