HT2518 I've transfered my PC documents to my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages? into Pages?

I've sucessfully transfered documents from my PC to my new MacPro via Migration assistant, which was easy.  The documents are on my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages?  I used Microsoft 2007 on the PC.

Thanks for the help, but I've dragged, dropped and done everything I can think of to get my documents into Pages, but they seem to ignore it.  The only way I can even find the documents from my PC is as a sidebar on Finder.  I can open each file in Finder, but there it ends. . . can't get them into Pages where I need them.

  • ICloud saved my daughter's Pages documents and replaced all of my documents with hers. My documents are not on iCloud, how do I get them back?

    My daughter saved her Pages documents to my iCloud account on her iPhone while my documents were apparently saved only to my phone. Never had a problem with that until tonight when iCloud synched so now I have all of my daughter's homework but all of my paperwork is gone! I logged into iCloud and it is only her documents there. How do I get my Pages documents back without a backup?
    iphone 4s, version 6.1.3

    If you took the picture on your iPhone, they are still there on your iPhone, unless you specifically deleted a particular picture from your iPhone. And likewise, if the picture was taken on your iPad, it is still there on your iPad, unless you specifically deleted that picture from the iPad.
    Now ... if you're counting on pictures still "being there" from being on the Photostream ... don't count on that, because that's only a temporary place and it has a time limit and a count limit for how many picture it will have. While the pictures you took on your iPhone and iPad will remain on each one respectively (so you won't lose those), it won't necessarily remain on the Photostream part ... which is only for sharing anyway ... and not meant for storage.
    Whatever pictures you had on your Camera Roll and thus is in the backup in iCloud, will still be there.

  • I have converted 6 documents to pdf form.  How do I get them from adobe files to Wordpress on the same computer?  I can't seem to copy and paste. and I can't find the adobe pdf documents in my files when I search via wordpress.

    I posted the question and I need help.  I am new to posting and to discussions. I gather that posting is only for answers.

    Hi student4ever,
    You're in the right place to ask questions, and get answers!
    When you convert a file to PDF using the Acrobat.com online service, they are automatically stored in your Acrobat.com account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
    To download a file to your computer, select the file in the Files list, and then click Download at the top top of the list. Your files will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer.

  • On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

    On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on?  Thank you.  Ed

    Welcome to the Apple family!!!! 
    How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
    Press Control-Option and F5.   The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over.  This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
    How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
    How to read a website with VoiceOver
    Step 1:  Go to the Website
    A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L.  This will jump you up to the address bar.  Start typing where you want to go.  i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
    Step 2:  Working with Webpage
    VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website.  You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'. 
    If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it.  If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
    Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website.  This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
    Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'.  You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
    If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I 
    Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
    Step 3.  Reading from Top to Bottom
    Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title. 
    After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on. 
    Note:  If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too. 
    Tip:  You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'.  The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads  The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R.  You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'. 
    I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
    You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar.  To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M. 
    Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.  This will open up another window.  Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'.  If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

    The  'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H.  (hit H twice)  is my best friend.  It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command.  Example:  You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command.   Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph.  It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph.  I believe there are three.

  • HT4191 I have Notes that transferred to email when I set up a new email acct. They no longer appear in Notes. I can only access them in the email acct. How do I get them out of the email acct and back to the Notes app?

    I have Notes that transferred to an Email acct when I set up the acct. The Notes no longer appear in the Notes app only in the Email acct. How do I get them out of the Email acct and back to Notes? I stopped at an Apple store and they told me to copy them from the email back to Notes. But when I was in the email acct, I could not find a way to copy them. Shouldn't Notes remain in Notes unless I specifically send them somewhere else?

    Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select that email account on the right-hand side of the screen and turn Notes 'on' for it - they should then appear in the Notes app instead of as an email folder in the Mail app (they will still be linked to that email account, so you may need to tap the 'Accounts' button at at the top left of the list of notes)

  • I updated my iphone and everything transferred over but my contacts.  How can I get them back?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Your apps and other purchased media should have been restored from your backup if they were on your old phone when you backed it up.

    Don't save. Close the documents.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 will damage/alter older files, something Apple didn't tell its users.
    Pages 5 is a severely stripped down version with over 90+ features removed.
    We recommend trashing/archiving Pages 5 after Exporting any files you may have saved back to Pages '09.
    Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App store.

    I don't know what file formats LibreOffice supports, but my guess is it can only handle the OpenXML format (new Office docs).

  • I have pages and now I have lost half my documents where did they go and how do I get them back

    I have an IPad and use Pages.  Now half of my documents are gone.  Where did they go and how do I get them back.

    If you backup your iPad, then the documents should be in your backup. If you have important documents in any app, you should backup very frequently in the event that something happens so that you can restore them from the backup.
    If you use iOS file sharing with iTunes, then the documents might be in your iTunes library.
    If you use iCloud with Pages, check in iCloud,com and see if they appear in there. I don't think it is likely that they will be there, if they disappeared from the iPad, but it is worth a try anyway.
    In the event that this is some software glitch, try closing the Pages app, reboot the iPad and then launch Pages again.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Pages icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If you don't backup, don't use iOS file sharing or don't use iCloud, then most likely your files are gone and you will not be able to retrieve them.

    i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

  • TS1702 I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

    I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

    You could try downloading a program called Calibre.  It is very good at converting files between formats.  I use it all the time to convert PDF's from work to read on iTunes when I don't want to have to keep zooming in and out to read the actual text. 
    I know that iBooks will read PDF's but they can get pretty squashed down some times. Especially if the original font was small to begin with.  So I run them through Calibre and then email them to my phone and open them in iBooks.

    Hi tauldridge,
    When you shut down your Mac, be sure that you have the "Reopen Windows when logging back in" unchecked.  Mine is checked in the example below, because I want to open any windows that were still open when I logged off.
