Hyperlinks to other documents in Pages ?

Even in such a miserable tool as Ms word, it is possible (though unreliable) to set a hyperllink from a document so as to open a different document which is not a webpage, e.g. a pdf. As far as I can see this was not possible in the previous Pages. Does anyone know if this is possible with the new Pages ?

Although Pages ’09 v4.3 allowed linking to other Pages documents, this feature is not implemented in Pages v5.2.2. This is a new application rewrite of Pages that Apple has omitted nearly 110 features/functionality found in Pages ’09. If you need to link to other documents, then Pages v5.2.2 is not the application of choice.

Hyperlinks to other Documents (non-html)?

Hello everybody,
is Pages unable to hyperlink to other documents (e.g. other *.pages-files, hyperlinks like "./myfile.pages") or is that function hidden somewhere else than at the hyperlinks page in the Information window?
Thanks for any recommendations.
Andreas

Hello Frank,
Thanks for your suggestion, I tried this.
In the .pages package there is a file index.xml.gz by double clicking it extracts an index.xml. In that file one can search and replace the hyperlink's text to e.g. ./myfile.pages. Afterwards I saved the file, deleted index.xml.gz, made a .zip package of my altered index.xml, renamed the extension to index.xml.gz.
Now if I try to open that in Pages, the application crashes. So I don't think we can hack this that easy.
By the way: Even if that had worked, I would never consider this as a usable 'workaround'. I am using Macs because of their great user interface and that's not the way I like doing things.

I am using excel to add hyperlinks to other documents. When I email the spreadsheet to another user the hyperlinks are lost "cannot open the file" error comes up. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions on how to retain hyperlinks in a workbook after emailing to another user. The links to external documents were lost. However the links to other sheets within the book were retained.

Probably some form of corruption. If you already tried JetComp (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295334) try copying objects to a new empty db. Chances are they all copy except for one. Of course you could
go back to a backup as well, perhaps just to retrieve that failing object.

Linking other documents into Pages

Hello. This is my first post and I'm a recent convert from a PC. I've scoured this forum for an answer and played for ages myself and not been able to sort out my problem - so I apologise in advance if its been answered a hundred times before!
I am preparing a report in Pages and I would like to include links within in it to select other objects, such as pdf files, presentations etc. I don't want these open all the time, just if the reader wants to access the info. I see how you can put in a link to call out another Pages report, but not say a pdf file. I have tried dragging and dropping a pdf from Finder, but it opens it out and I just want a little icon that the reader can select.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Katarine

Hi Katarine
Welcome to the forum.
Pages lets you link to other Pages documents, but not particular pages within those documents, bookmarks within the same document, and weblinks.
So the limitation will be yes you can link to .pdf files but they will need to be have an url and be on an accessible website.
As Yvan said you can ask Apple to make this more flexible:

Hyperlink to Documents in Pages 2.0?

Does anybody know whether it is possible to link to other documents in Pages 2.0? It wasn't possible in the first version, and I'm hoping that they've added it in.
Thanks,

I sent feedback to Apple about this tonight. It would be easy, but the path in the inspector automatically inserts http://. It seems trivial for them to take that away, and let you insert paths to files instead of webpages.
Let's hope we see this in an update!

I created a document in Pages on my ipad and now it won't open up. How can I fix this?

I created a document on my Ipad and when I finished it, I closed Pages. When I went to re-open Pages and see the document it wouldn't open. I click on the document and it shows the processing symbol but then the entire program closes. All of the other documents within pages open up fine, just not this one. Any help?

Try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

Hyperlinks from other file formats working in Pages

how can I get the hyperlinks in an imported WORD file when it opens on my laptop into a Pages file to open other DOc files in a folder?

You can't. Pages can only hyperlink to Pages documents. When you open a word document in Pages it becomes a Pages document and isn't a Word document anymore.

How do I hyperlink to a page in the same document in pages

I have used the help and also read the Pages user manual on how to hyperlink to a specific word or words in the same document and nothing works. The main problem is the when I try to set a bookmark the + is not highlighted to add the word or words that I highlighted.

Tom,
Well, I was considering that a blank page requires a page break, and since you can insert a page break after a page that is so full that adding one more character would force a new page, it isn't exactly on the previous page, either. It's kind of between the pages.
Nevertheless, if you show invisibles, the page break shows itself on the previous page, and if you select it for your bookmark, it will jump to the end of the previous page, so basically your objection is valid. If you have a completely blank page it would be better to type a single space onto the page and use that for the bookmark. I think this could only be the case for the final page in a document; every page before that must have at least a page break or a section break on it.

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

In addition to the last poster's suggestion - just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

How do i save my document on pages so that i can open it on other computers

How do I sav emy document on pages so that i can open it on other computers?

Well, that was the short answer, then I rethought your question.
Will the “other computers,” be Mac, or a mixture of Mac, Windows PC, and possibly Linux?
What application on the other computers will be accessing the Pages content created on your MacBook Pro?
Using the File export options I originally mentioned, you could save the files to iCloud. Then on the other computer, you use the web browser to sign into your iCloud account. When you click the iWork icon, the files that you saved from your MBP will be there. You can then right-click on the file you want and a download option exists.

Turn off rich text in your email signature. Delete images too, if any.
