I can't attach a Page document

I know that maybe my questions is a little stupid, but I saved a document in my desktop, and when I try to attach it in an email through my hotmail or Yahoo account I can't select it. I can only select it if I save the document as a word document. Why I can't send it as a Page document?
Thank you very much

Welcome to Apple Discussions
A Pages document is actually a package, a special kind of folder that appears as a single file, but isn't. You can't e-mail a folder which is why many mail clients balk. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. In the Finder, Control- or right-click on the Pages document & choose Create Archive… (Tiger) or Compress… (Leopard) from the contextual menu. You will now have a zipped Pages document that you can attach to your e-mail & send.
Your recipient must have Pages to be able to open your Pages file. If s/he doesn't, you can export the Pages document as Word or PDF & send that.

  • How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

    I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format.  How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
    Is that what the export feature is supposed to do?  I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

    You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
    Pages ’09 v4+
    Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
    Pages v5+
    Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
    Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
    Backup your work.

  • In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ???  How does one email a pages document.

    How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from. 

    Sounds like you are using Gmail.
    Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
    Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Can I add a Pages document to an iPhoto journal?

    I have created an iPhoto journal from photos taken at my high school graduation. Can I add a Pages document listing our deceased classmates to this journal?

    I see your question has remained unanswered for a while now. I suggest you experiment around with copy/paste to see how text from the Pages app might work on a journal. Please report back with how you make out.

  • I can't open a pages document.

    I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?

    Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
    If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
    You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.

  • A year later...same question: How can I get a Pages document embedded ???

    How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? (so that the recipient sees it immediately and does NOT have to open a PDF). Although I know a PDF is universal and would allow anyone (mac or not) to open, read and see my business newsletter, I want it to be instantaneous for viewing. So, which leads me to a question I've kicked around for a year now on this discussion board. How do I turn a Pages doc into html for email purposes? If there isn't a way with Pages, How about with Word (the newest version) for Mac? Someone has to know this art, I receive emails like this all the time, probably from Apple! ha ha .
    Please help!

    In Mail.app, single page PDF are directly readable so you may try to
    print your page #1 in a PDF
    then
    print your page #2 in a PDF
    and so on.

    As Apple removed the export to html feature, I assume that it's no to reintroduce it one day

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

  • I can´t open any page document. Please help

    i can´t open any page document. Please help

    You do need to give more information. What version of Pages, what version of OS X, have you ever been able to open Pages documents, have you made any changes to your Mac? Please be specific with versions, don't just say "I have the latest." Our crystal balls don't work over the internet.

  • Can I retrieve a Page document I just closed without saving? (-:

    Can I retrieve a Page document I just closed without saving? (-:

    If the OP's information is correct (Snow Leopard), there is no autosave.
    Otherwise, the idea that you must save once before autosave kicks in seems to be one of those bits of misinformation that gets repeated so many times that everyone starts to believe it. I never used Lion or Yosemite, but certainly with Mountain Lion and Mavericks, autosave does save documents before they are saved to a real file. Since that is essential to the ability to restore open windows on relaunch, I am pretty sure it also applies to the systems that I haven't used.
    I think the system may not keep versions until a document is explicitly saved.
    Closing an unsaved document will discard the autosave information in any case, but, at least with the way I've had my preferences set, it does throw up a dialog asking you to confirm that you want to discard the data.

  • Can't see my pages documents after updating to IOS 6

    After updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 6, now I can't see my pages documents in the cloud, what in the **** happen after updating?
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance

    Did you tried to make a new one?
    If that's not working, remove Pages from Multi Tasking and Force Restart your iPhone by holding Power & Home buttons until restarts. (Ignore "Slide to Power off.)

  • Can I transfer a "pages" document to another iTunes account?

    Can I tranfer a pages document to a desktop computer without using wifi?  I would then want to be able to put information from the computer onto the ipad as well.  The schools block their ipads from using the wifi so we are trying to find away around this.  thanks

    Without wifi, you are stuck.  Whether you are syncing, e mailing or anything else, they all rely on wifi.   There is an app in the store called file transfer ( or something similar) that uses bluetooth, but I tried it and simply does not work, except for picturess.
