Is there a way to just press ⌘ + S and have Pages save as .doc?

For all of my college document, they have to be saved as a .doc so that they work with the college computers.
Once I create a document in Pages, I save it and tick the box that says 'Save a copy as: Word Document' but then even after it has saved, the red dot to close the windows has the black dot in the centre to say it hasn't been saved.
Is there a way to stop this happening and once I have saved a document as a .doc once, can it be set to do it for the whole thing?
I hope this makes sense,
Sam

No, you can't use  Cmd + S for exporting a Pages document as a Word document. It is good that you save the Pages document in its native format first. If you tick a box after you have saved the document Pages thinks you have made a change and that is why you have the black dot again.
You should be able to assign a hot key to Export > Word. Mind that you don't use any hot key already in use. May I suggest you use somthing like Option + Control + s. The Control key isn't used much for hot keys on a Mac.
To do this follow the instructions here  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3957

  • Is there a way of printing or copy and pasting to a word doc markers

    I have a long interview which I have created over 50 markers for various points in the audio. I want to put these into a word doc with timings for easier logging.
    Any ideas?

    I'm afraid not - development stopped on it about 10 years ago. All you need to do though is copy the wav file, complete with cue list, and find a pc to open it on. Then you can export the cue list as a text file that you should be able to save and open up on a mac, almost certainly. And since there are at least ten times as many PCs as there are Macs, I wouldn't have thought that it would be too difficult to find one...

  • Is there any way I can file email and have it put back in my intray at a future date ?

    When I was working at IBM we had a facility to 'bring-up mail' at a future date. This meant that if I needed to do something at a future date (or more likely someone was standing in for me ) the email could be filed and then re-presented at a future date.

    You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

    Did you transfer the telephone number from the old phone to the new phone?  If you did, I don't see how you could still have cellular service, even if you turned it off in settings.

  • I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

    Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
    One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
    Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.

  • Is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name?

    Hi
    recently i just got this project need to read data from excel file, and after a few days of research i understand u can read and write to excel to  worksheet that the name or postion is known.
    but is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name? As there excel format is not fixed and i need to search and open only the sheets i need.
    I  try change it to string but dun seem to work.
    not sure is this the right way... anyone?

    There is nothing to coerce actually.
    First, create a constant ref for the prop node on the left-most. Then, del its wire & move it to the Variant to Data function & connect to it. Now, rt-click on the ref constant & choose Select ActiveX Class > Browse.. option. Select the Type Library as Microsoft Excel 11.0... & the Object as _Workbook.
    Thats it, it ll automatically fetch you the Excel_Worksheet reference as the data.

  • Is there a way to just reset/rebuild mail in Yosemite?

    Hi
    As previously posted - I made a change to my spam setting (move spam to spam folder) and since then my mail quits everytime I start it up.  I'm even able to get to the preference for it but it just quits.
    The resolutions offered here in communities are complicated.

    You can reset Mail's configuration by doing the following:
    If Mail is open, then close it.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter the following:
    mv "${HOME}/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail"{,.$(date +%s)}

  • Is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs?

    is there any way to just make my iMac go back to factory specs after erasing everything and trying to reinstall many times with no luck? not too sure what i did but installer "cant copy necesary files" dont know anything about computers.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    You can also reset the OS without using the install disk.
    I found a youtube tutorial that had a wonderful step by step process for resetting to factory specs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0RQT9UiwkQ
    I did a clean install - I did not have any paperwork or info for the computer because it was given to me after my FIL died.  I used my own apple ID not my FIL's.
    There was no difficulty at any point.
    I set up my Mac next to my PC and ran the tutorial on the PC while I worked on the reset.  Make sure you have all day because it's very time consuming. 
    I am a slightly technical person, but no computer whiz - so don't be afraid to tackle this on your own.
    After I reset to factory default, I upgraded to Mountain Lion for $20.  That was also simple to do.
    I did not back up any files since there wasn't anything on the computer I wanted to keep.  You will have to back up any files you wish to keep because this clean install will be just that - very clean - nothing was left except the OS.
