Links in Pages document to open other files in same folder

Hi, In Microsoft Word on my PC I can put links in a Word doc to photos, PDFs and other files that sit in the same folder as the Word doc. Can I do the same in Pages on my Mac, and if so how please?
I'm using Pages 5.2 in Mavericks.
Thanks,
Neil

Just because you can do these things in MS Word, is no assurance that you can do them in Pages, which is not an MS Word clone.
Pages v5(.2) only supports links to Web pages and Email.
Pages ’09 v4+ supports links to another Pages ’09 document, Web page, Email, or internal Bookmark.

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

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".

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.

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.

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."

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

How can i save my pages document as a PDF file or Jpeg file now that the share is NA.

In Pages, go to File > Export > Word, so the document will be saved in .doc to be able to use it in Word

I can not export Pages document into a Word file

Please help! I have researched many feeds in regards to my issue. None of the suggestions seem to work. I need to export a Pages document into a Word file and get the error messge "an unknown error has occured". I have attempted to "Save as" and export directly from the file menu. All of my fonts have been validated. Not sure what my other options are. Can anyone give any insight? Thanks

In case if the files are missing for the once you have in your book module they can have issues exporting as PDF or JPEG.
Please check the same and replace the files which are missing or attach the same and then try exporting the same.

Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
2) Restarted the computer.
3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
4) Reinstalled the program.
Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Please help.

If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
Better try with LibreOffice.

Open Random File in Random Folder

I am trying to make an Applescript to pick a song at random, being dependent on how many files are in a folder. To simplify my example: I have 2 folders labeled "Rock" and "Country", Rock includes 99 songs and Country has 1. If I write the following script:
to application finder to open some file in some folder "harddrive:user:me:music"
Using this, there is a 50% chance that 1 country song will play, because the script is choosing between "Rock" or "Country" THEN the files inside. Is there any way that I can re-write the script so that it accounts for the number of files inside the folder?
I only have a beginners level of writing script, so if you can dumb any complicated answers down for me that would be great
Eventually I want to expand this for more than two folders, but I'm sure if I get 2 down I can extrapolate to more!

Whoops, sorry: didn't notice that it returned a list of lists which need to be concatenated. This version works correctly:
set musicFiles to {}
tell application "System Events"
          set musicFolders to every file of (every folder of folder "/Users/tedwrigley/Test area") whose visible is true
          repeat with thisItem in musicFolders
                    set musicFiles to musicFiles & thisItem
          end repeat
end tell
set theChosenFile to some item of musicFiles

Pages can´t open a file due to index.xml is missing

After writing 138 pages of my PhD-Thesis and I have only 7 days left I got the error message can´t open file - index.xml is missing - shocking! So I called the support because I thought it can´t be lost due to the fully active preview - only pages did not want to open the file.
But I found a solution by surfing in different forum discussions and I want here to summarize, what to do.
1. A pages document is an archive - unfortunately in the latest version (iwork09) it is not signed as such anymore, what made older forum discussions quite irritating - but the tric is to rename the file to.zip and unpack the zip file.
2. Then it is possible to see if the index.xml is there (in my case) or if it is renamed to index-new.xml
in my case it was just possible to open this index file in textedit and save it again - if it has been renamed to index-new - simply save it after opening as index.xml.
the rename the whole folder back to a pages document with the ending .pages and open it in pages like usual by double click.
just as small aid for all other users with important document
please post herer if there were more problem or other solutions with this index.xml file
Regards!

I changed the file to .pages.zip and it still will not open up or unzip .. what do i do ?

Acrobat 9 Std-how to append new pages to existed/opened pdf file

i am using Acrobat 9 standard version.
when i used the scanner to create a pdf, but the file had many pages so i could not finish it before lunch. Therefore, i had to append new pages to the opened file.
In past, 7 standard i could choose append to the opened file but 9 standard i don't have this function. Finally, i found the
DOCUMENT / SCAN TO PDF / CUSTOM SCAN / TICK THE APPEND TO .....
But, only 1 scan is allowed , what can i do now ????

You can scan to different files, the you should be able to insert the
second group of files into the first file using Documtent->Insert Pages.
