How Well Do Pages Documents Move Over To Microsoft?

When I bought my Mac I was under the impression that I could type up a document in Pages and then easily move it to school and work on it there, which uses Microsoft. Will encounter any problems? If so, how do I get around them?
Basically, how do I type up something in Pages and be able to use it in Microsoft Word without it be altered AT ALL?

Seems like there ought to be a sub-forum for Windows <=> Pages:

Pages won't allow keeping a file in '.doc' format,

I have to export each time which gets old (or did I miss something or has that changed?)
I switched to OOo - and my only reason for buying iWorks was the nice look and feel of Pages.

You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

How to save Pages document as a rtf?

How to save Pages document as a rtf? There is no option in the export pull down menu on Pages version 5.1. This is possing to be a big problem as an online couse wants documents saved in this format.

Pages 5.1 is a buggy, crippled disaster. The lack of RTF support comes under the "crippled" rubric. It lacks about 100 features present in Pages 09. Beware of the buggy stuff, too: there are many reports of data corruption, of users being unable to open files, etc. Adivse you use Pages 09, or Word.

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word?

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word when I have drafted a pages doc on my mac and then send it to a PC to open and print through microsoft work - is there a way around this?

You can't open it directly. You need to either export it from within Pages, or rename the saved file so its extension is zip, decompress it, and get what you can from the contents.

How to? Pages document with movie embeded to pdf

Hi,
I have a pages document ('09 version 4.3) with a movie (mp4) embeded.
But when I export it to a pdf the movie changes to a still.
But pdf supports movies right? So, does anybody know how to export the pages document into a pdf and still have a working movie?
Thanks in advance!

MV,
That's a Preview/PDF problem, more than a Pages one. I believe that you will be able to add an embedded movie using Acrobat Pro.

How to make the background move over when a movie clip hits the edge

ok so the idea here is to make a page with written content on it. the conent will not be able to be seen unless the user hits the arrow keys on there key board. So i need to make a group of objects i can make into a movie clip and than inside that movie clip make an animation that plays the squirrel running. i will pause here to ask two things i dont know how to do i want the squirrel to have an animation when standing still where it flicks its tail (like a real squirrel would). and also how would i flip the squirrel so when the left key is pressed it points left and when the right arrow is pressed it faces left? and my main question when it reaches the edge of the stage the extended background that runs off stage moves over to reavel more content. as well as not have the squirrel run off stage? in short i am using the squirrel to view the full pages content.

You're asking for quite a bit and aren't likely to get anyone to hand you a detailed solution. Here's some things to think about.
As far as flicking the tail goes, that's something you'll have to work out as an animation. You could do it as a timeline animation and/or as a coded animation where you adjust the rotation and other properties of the tail.
Getting the object to face left and right ican be a simple matter of changing its xscale property from 1 to -1 depending on which way it normally faces (1).
If you don't have a problem making the squirrel move to the edge, then you should have no problem making the background move either. You just need to continually check the squirrel x property to know when it hits the edge. Personally, I would only move the background and leave the squirrel in the center.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How to open pages documents in icloud on macbook air

I have pages on my IPhone, IPad and new MacBook Air. I have confirmed that my Pages documents are all in iCloud. However, I dont know how to find them from the Pages app on my MacBook Air. Any help?

You need to be using Mountain Lion to automatically have documents in iCloud visible on your Mac. You can go to iCloud.com in a web browser & download the files in an earlier OS.

How to retrieve pages documents from iCloud after the reset settings glitch deleted all of my files.

Before all this news that resetting your device wpull delete all your pages documents, I discovered it first hand and lost many of my files for school! I need to recover my files and I cant go to an apple store as of right now. Would someone please contact me!??

Apple is unlikely to read your post here as this is a user to user support forum. You can contact Apple support here: Contact Apple for support and service.
If you happen to have a Mac that is signed into your iCloud account that you back up using Time Machine I can tell you how to restore them from your Time Machine backup.

Pages Documents Always Open with Microsoft Word???

I have two word processing applications installed on my computer:
Microsoft Word (12.24)
Pages (4.04)
For whatever reason, documents in .pages always want to open using Microsoft Word.
I have tried everything to change this, including Get Info> Open With > Pages > Change All. At first this appears to work, displaying a (default) after pages in the drop-down box. However, when I next attempt to open the document, the document automatically opens in Microsoft Word. When I again check get info, Pages still has the (default) setting, but Microsoft Word is selected in the open with.
I can change individual documents to open with .pages (by selecting pages in the dropdown box), but this only works with the single document and is thus extremely impractical.
Can you think of how to solve this problem?

That is a (drop down) menu.
Try *Repair Disk Permissions* with *Disk Utility* and rebooting.
Something has appeared to been hashed.
Have you by any chance moved the Pages appliaction from out of the iWork folder in the Applications folder?
Also have you updated Pages to the latest version and updated your system using the Combo (downloaded) version of OSX Updater (not the one from System Preferences > Software Update).

I needed to remove some apps why dident the apps on page 3 move over page 2 ??????

I just had to delete some of unimportant apps because I needed the space, why won't apps from the other pages slide over in the voids instead of leaving me with pages with what looks like swiss cheese ?????

That's how it is.
For example, I hide some bundled apps I don't want or need on page 4 of my menus. And i can do that because I can have a void.

but have had difficulty finding it. Is it possible to take an entire document and insert it as a resizeable object into another?
Some of my research suggests that I might be able to accomplish something of this nature with publisher, and while several people in my office do not have publisher and we'd prefer if it were doable in word, instructions for publisher would be appreciated
as well if Word 2007 cannot do this.

How do I utilize the iCloud to view Pages documents created on my MacBook?

I'm trying to figure out how to get pages documents from the iCloud to view on my iPad that were originally created on my MacBook. Do I need to download the pages app if I already have it on my MacBook? I guess I'm confused as to how to even find what's stored in my iCloud. When I save things on my MacBook are they automatically put in the iCloud?
Thanks in advance for help.

In which case you will need to upload and download documents to and from iCloud through the web portal at iCloud.com
