I try to convert word 2011 document to a pages 09 document but save as only does 08

I have Pages 09 ver. 4.3 both on my iMac and on my iPad. I have my resume saved on my mac as a word 2011 docx but, when I try to convert it to pages in Save as... it only wants to save the document as a Pages 08 document and that will not work on my iPad mini!
I have know way to put this in my iPad Mini.
I need some help please.
This is critical to me as per I'm looking for work.

Bip,
The current version of Pages for your iPad is 1.7.2, I believe.
Word documents are converted to Pages documents not by Save as, but by Opening in Pages.
Pages 09 on your iMac Saves as Pages 09 by default, and can Save As... to Pages08 as an option.
I wish you well in your search for work.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

In Pages 5.0.1. is there any way to link one pages document to another pages document. If so, How?

Is Pages 5.0.1 is there any way to link one Pages document to another Pages document? If so, Please, How?

Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How to retain hyperlinks converting word 2011 to .pdf and Adobe PDF

I'm having this issue with saving a MS Word 2011 doc. Hyperlinks are NOT preserved. Seems unrelated to any browser version. I'm on OSX 10.7.4. Have tried the 'built-in' "Save as PDF" option under the PRINT GUI, also tried the "Save as Adobe PDF", as I have Acrobat 10 installed as well. Appreciate any tips.

Option A
If you have Apple Pages…
Open the Word 2011 document in Pages.
Go to the File menu, select Export, choose PDF… from the pop out menu and follow the prompt.
Option B
Go to the free file conversion web site Zamzar. Follow their four-step process to upload and convert your Word 2011 document to pdf.
Note: url addresses in the Word 2011 doc do become hyperlinks in the resultant PDF.
IMO, what we experience is a Microsoft problem NOT Apple nor Adobe. (Apple Pages retain hyperlinks.) You can help get the attention of Microsoft about this issue. In any of the Office 2011 applications, go to the Help menu and select “Send feedback about Word/Excel/PowerPoint.” That will take you to their Office for Mac Product Feedback web site page. Fill out the form and submit. Note that you can only choose one product to report on at a time. Repeat the feedback by selecting each of the other MS Office 2011 applications.

Will Adobe Export PDF convert a pdf to an editable Pages document for iMAC

Will Adobe Export PDF convert a pdf document to an editable Pages document for iMAC?

HI HolySpiritThree,
ExportPDf will convert the PDF into Docx and doc format. Then you can download that converted file to you desktop. So if you have Word on MAc you can use that to edit the converted PDF file.
I'm not sure about Pages, if pages can open(supports) .docx or .doc files then you can always use Pages to edit the document. I hope that answer your question.
Let me know if that helps.

WORD crashes on opening exported PAGES document

HELP! I'm trying to export a fairly large (63 MGB) PAGES file to WORD. It seems to export OK to my desktop, I open WORD and can see the file/document BUT also the dreaded whirling beach ball...
Within seconds, I get the message that WORD has 'unexpectedly quit" and I can send a message to Microsoft,etc.
I have completely re-installed Microsoft Office 'o4, but still get the same result. The export function worked for me a couple of weeks ago so my only guess is that it is the size of the file??? The original PAGES file has to be OK for I can export it as .pdf just fine...
Any ideas? I am really boggled!
GlenCarbon

Glen,
The other posters may be absolutely correct. On the other hand, it may be nothing more than a corrupted graphic in your file that's choking Word. To test this theory, make a backup of your file, and work with that. Start by removing half of the graphics, then export to Word. If the problem goes away, you'll know the issue was with one of the graphics you removed. If you still have the problem, try removing half again of the remaining graphics.

How to batch convert tiff images to jpeg in Pages document

I have a large (about 1Gig) Pages 5 Package document with hundreds of images, mostly in tiff format. Since the software became nearly unresponsive, I need to convert image files in jpeg (though I wonder why unresponsiveness in the Package mode). Reducing file size is not an option since it decreases resolution.
Is there a script, perhaps, that would convert all images in a Pages document to jpeg?

What version of Pages?
Not to my knowledge.
You may be able to create an AppleScript, a very long shot, but it will not use Pages to do the conversion and will take longer to do than simply correcting all the images and reimporting them.
Preview.app can convert from one format to another and there are Automator workflows that will convert image formats. You will lose some detail because jpegs are a lossey format whilst tiff is not. Have you looked at reserving the images as compressed tiff files?
How did you get into this position? You must have known the file would be huge with so many large images in it. Pages 5 is particularly bad, increasing file size exponentially.

Insert Fields From INSPECTOR DOCUMENT INFO into Pages Document

I was able to do this since the DOS version of MS Word and would be rather surprised if there is no way to do it in Pages. Is there a way to insert "Document Info" about the present document into the present document?
Am trying to work up my own template for manuscripts. I use the Document Info dialog and would like to have information like Author and Title dropped into the document via a field like can be done with Page Numbers.

Bingo.
I built a script inserting the infos extracted from the Infos dialog.
--[SCRIPT insertdocumentinfos]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script ou Application : insertdocumentinfos.xxx
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Définir dans un document Pages le point d’insertion des infos sur le document.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “insertdocumentinfos”
Le script extrait les infos de l’inspecteur Document > Infos et les insère dans le document.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script or an Application : insertdocumentinfos.xxx
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Define, in a Pages document, the insertion point for the document's infos.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “insertdocumentinfos”
The script extract the infos from IOnspector > Document > Infos and insert them in the document.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Reduce document size of Pages document

I am new to Pages. I created a two-page document with text boxes and four photos. I reduced the size of each photo with the REDUCE IMAGE SIZE button. I clicked on "reduce document size" in the SAVE dialogue. I saved the document in PAGES format and a copy in WORD format.
The resulting document sizes are: Pages 1.6mb Word 168kb. The appearance is exactly the same. There was a message when the Word copy saved that some formatting wasn't saved, but it made absolutely no difference to the appearance and ability to edit and move and delete images in WORD.
I want to save the PAGES documents without all the extra formatting but I don't see a way to do it. I can't see making a library of thousands of documents, each between 1.5 and 2MB when I could have the same library take up 1/10th the space and load more quickly.
I am thinking about getting rid of MS OFFICE and going to iWORK 09 for my business, so this is an important issue as there are eight computers making documents all day long.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply to my question.
The WORD document has been deleted along with all the other "trial" documents. There were too many things I couldn't do in PAGES and NUMBERS that I have taken for granted in Excel and I just can't see going forward without those features.
I think the size of the document was less than 200k in Word... 180 perhaps. I can't recall. But the difference between a few hundred kb and 1.6 mb would add too much overhead when there are thousands of documents to deal with.
Thanks again for your offer of help anyway.

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

Why can't I link one Pages document to another Pages document?

You'd think this would be a basic functionality in Pages: to be able to create a hyperlink in one Pages document that opens another Pages document.
Currently I'm using iWork 2008, and I can't do this.
Can I do it in iWork 2009?
Until I can, iWork, in my mind, will be "iCan'tWorkTheWayiNeedTo".

Tom in London wrote:
right- so I can stop hunting for the "make coffee" feature in iWork 2008
seriously though - features that were available in AppleWorks, I foolishly thought would also be available in iWork.
I perfectly agree with the used adjective.
Why would Pages offer the same features than AppleWorks ?
Different teams made different choices.
So I'll wait for Apple to do this. I'm not going to spend £60 for iWork 2009 just so as to be able to link to other Pages documents.
I wrote several times that, as we are in october, it would be a good idea to wait until end of january 2010. Often it's the date of major upgrade delivery.

How to insert a pages document into another pages document?

How can I insert a pages document into another one?
How can I insert 1 page of a document into another document?

Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

I try to convert word 2011 document to a pages 09 document but save as only does 08
