I create documents in Pages but those I send to can't open them...why?

I create documents in Pages on my Apple, desk top computer, then, send these to people via e-mail/attachments...but, some can't open them...why...what can I do?

So long as it is a format for which they have an App.
Most people have either MsWord or something that will open Word files.
Just about nobody has Pages and now that Pages 5 is out even less have that.

  • My word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!

    my word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!
    they are wpd files from around 2001-2003 that my Dad emailed me and on a PC was easy to simply relabel as .doc but despite this I cannot open in pages or convert to pages.
    Please can you help me?
    cheers!

    In fairness to Pages, only apps that can handle Word Perfect docs of that vintage can open them, either.  W
    As Viking said, changing the extension does nothing to the file structure & metadata of the document.  At one time Mac people didn't bother with the extensions, because they were simply a visible indicator of the app that made them, and the Mac would get that information from the file itself.
    Since you changed the extensions, some Windows apps may still use those extensions to tell them the file source. When they try to open a .wpd file as if it were a .doc file, they will get very confused.
    You can try to open the files by using the Menu> Open command, with the setting of "all files."  IF and only if the app can handle .wpd files, then maybe it will open it & ignore the extension.

  • Pages will not open any of my word documents.  The I works documentation states that it will open them.  What don't I know

    Pages will not open any of my word documents.  The I works documentation states that it will open them.  I have tries using the open under the file menu and I have tried dragginh the file to the pages 09 icon.  Either way I get the following Message "The document “*****.docx” couldn’t be opened.What do I need to do to open them?

    hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
    also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray-tracing will use the GPU.
    After installing CUDA 5.0 or later, restart your computer.
    For more information see: http//www.adobe.com/go/aeraytracedgpu
    HELP. I have a project that needs to be delivered.

    The alert message is just telling you that a specific feature won't use the GPU. This message is innocuous. It only means that the processing of one specific, obsolete feature will use the CPU, not the GPU.
    Are you saying that After Effects won't start or open your project?

  • When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

    When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

    I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
    Hope it works for you.

  • I have saved documents with oages and numbers but now I can't open them they show as several files in preview mode why?

    Why are my saved documents comkmg up in preview mode and I can't access them?

    Hi Gail,
    A Numbers document is actually a bunch of files that (usually) appear to be a single file.
    What version of OS X are you using on your MacBook?
    What version of Numbers? Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3? The latest version of Numbers is 3.5 on OS X Yosemite.
    More information will lead to a solution .
    Keep posting.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Pages is updating my documents and I can't open them anymore... Any suggestions to fix the problem?

    The app is updating 97 documents, I can't open them and it's been updating for more than 2 hours. I really need these documents, how can I fix the problem?

    Click on the '''Tools''' menu in '''Firefox''' and then click on '''Downloads'''.
    This will bring up the "Downloads" window.
    It should list all of your downloads. You can open each download by double-clicking on it.
    If you still can't open the downloads by double-clicking, try the following:
    In Firefox, click on '''Tools''' and then '''Options'''
    Click the '''General''' tab to find out where your Downloads are going to. It should be listed in the '''Downloads''' section. You might need to click on the '''Browse''' button to find out exactly where they are going.
    Once you know where the downloads are going to, you can go directly to that location and open them from there.
    Hope this helps.

  • All my .psd files created in PSE were changed  to CS files--how can I get them back to PSE?

    Running PC, Win7, HP Pavilion dv7.  PSE6, CS4.
    I use both PSE6 and CS4 depending on the project.  I am very happy with both of these elderly versions and have no desire to change.
    Recently, all the projects (works in progress, .psd files) that I had created and saved using PSE suddenly converted themselves into CS4.  Literally.  I booted my computer and there were no more PSE projects.  (To see what was going on, I created a .psd file with PSE and saved it; it also saved itself as CS4.)  I can find no way to open them in PSE.  This isn't a crisis, obviously, since I can still open them in CS4.  But I prefer to work on these projects in PSE (that's why I used PSE to create them in the first place).  And it's impractical to go through a laborious process of opening in CS4 and then transferring everything to PSE, only to have it end up as CS4 again.
    The only change I have made: I downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) updates, upgrading the PSE from v4.2 to v5.6, and upgrading CS to v5.7.  Both installed and function without difficulty.
    I will be very grateful for any advice/info that will allow me to work in the Photoshop program of my choice (PSE or CE), save and reopen in the same program.
    Update:
    The problem is half solved.  Somehow CS4 was made the default for .psd files.
    Unfortunately, it seems that for whatever reason, since this incident all .psd files must have the same default "Open with..." program.  If I select a PSE project and make PSE the default program to open that type of file all .psd projects--even those created and saved in CS4, show the PSE logo and open with PSE when clicked.
    So basically I have to decide which one I use more, then use the "Open with..." option for the other.  Which introduces a small but noticeable hiccup into the work flow.
    I'm still at a loss to understand how this happened.  Used to be that CS4 projects displayed a CS4 logo, and PSE projects displayed a PSE logo, and each would open in the correct program when clicked.
    Simple is better.

    "Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.
