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.

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).

Can I get Pages to automatically use the first words of my new document as the title of it, the way Word does?

This s a very handy feature of Word that I would like to use also in Pages.

Run this huge script :
--{code}
property title_len : 32
tell application "Pages"
          tell document 1
                    set newName to (characters 1 thru title_len of body text) as text
          end tell
          set name of document 1 to (newName & ".pages")
end tell
--{code}

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

Trying to make a photobook but can't get pages to open by double clicking. Photos from Iphoto 9.6. Help anybody?

What do you mean? Are you not able to switch from "All pages" view of the book to a single page view by double-clicking a selected page? Or what is the problem?
Or can you not open the book at all from the source list?

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I suggest the easy stuff first:
1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
2) reboot the computer
After that try opening the same document in another user space

Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word

I am trying to upload a pdf i created to an online system but am getting an error message indicating that my document is not formatted to 8.5x11. How can i get my document to 8.5x11

You'll want to fix this via the online system you used to create the PDF.
If all content mastering and page configuration is done online then that is where you must make a correction to what you did before.
If a file is uploaded to the online system for processing then you must revisit that file.
Open the file with its native application and correct page size there.
If you upload a scanned image to the online system you must configure the scanner software to output the needed page size.
Be well...

Can't download Pages documents to Mac

When I try to download a Pages document from iCloud it tries to save as a .exe binary file and can't be opened. Same thing happens if I try to download it in Word format, but it works as a PDF. Any ideas? iCloud is unusable for me at the moment

i am having the same problem - i can only get the document to download in a .pdf format, which is useless as far as being able to work on a document from different devices! i cannot find an answer via searches on google or on these support pages - let me know if you find something out.

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.)

Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken. So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
Here's my problem: I have had no problems getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week. Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them. If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair. So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?
