Location to save Pages documents

Can I choose not to have iCloud come up as the default location for saving my document?

Alex,
It seems that if you have chosen to sync Documents and Data, iCloud will be the default file location.

I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

How to save Pages document as a rtf?

How to save Pages document as a rtf? There is no option in the export pull down menu on Pages version 5.1. This is possing to be a big problem as an online couse wants documents saved in this format.

Pages 5.1 is a buggy, crippled disaster. The lack of RTF support comes under the "crippled" rubric. It lacks about 100 features present in Pages 09. Beware of the buggy stuff, too: there are many reports of data corruption, of users being unable to open files, etc. Adivse you use Pages 09, or Word.

I can't change Download Location, or Save pages/images..."Browse" dialog will not show.

If I go into Options, and click "Browse" to change the Download location, nothing happens. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had this problem. I just did a clean install of Win7 (wiped entire HDD), and the problem started when I installed Firefox this time.
I can also NOT "Save Page..." or "Save Image As..."....basically anything that requires a Browse dialog window does not work, it just stalls and nothing happens.
I read another report of this, and the only solution that was given was to Reset Firefox. I did that, to no effect. I also saw something about migrating profiles, etc....I did not import anything into Firefox when I installed, nor do I have more than one user account in Windows. It's a really odd problem, but unfortunately I can't use Firefox if I can't save things. I've tried browse dialogs in other applications and I have no problems there.
Thanks for any assistance! Just to re-iterate, this is a completely clean install of Firefox and Win7...I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox before posting here.

I hope this helps-
Go to the option menu and under the General tab, chose "ask me where to save files" and then restart Firefox in safe mode.
If this doesn't work,check for updates.

Save page document as word document help!

How do I save a page document as a word document when I don't have a 'save as' option in my File menu? All I have is 'save a version' I tried the shortcut which I believe is shift, command, S but it still didn't work. Please help!

This is not a "save as" operation.
This is an "Export" operation.
Simply go to FILE > EXPORT and select Word as the export format.

Can't Save Pages Document - says it is locked

I have been using Pages for a couple of years with no major issues. Then recently (I am guessing as a result of upgrading my operating system), every time I work on a document, it won't autosave. A message comes up saying that the document cannot be saved, that I don't have permission. Then when I try click and manually save, it says that I don't have permission, that the document has been locked. When I go to the file and get info, it doesn't show as locked. As a result I keep having to duplicate the file any time I am editing it or else it won't save. I have done every update I can find and am using OS X version 10.9.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Is there a way to save Pages documents so they can be opened with MS Word?

Hi,
I have been a PC user my whole life, but just recently purchased a Mac. I bought an iMac and absolutely love it! I'm still trying to figure everything out though. I just purchased iWork 09, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the trial version right now. I'm currently unemployed so I spend a lot of my time looking for jobs on the internet, and sending out resumes. Every place that accepts online resumes wants them to be in MS Word format. After I bought iWork 09 I was wondering if I had made a mistake and should have bought MS Office for Mac instead? Is there a way to save it as a Word document or format it as something that Word accepts? Also, can you do the same for Numbers-Excel, and Keynote-Powerpoint? Any information you can give me would be a big help.
Thanks

Hi Tom
In iWork '09 you may use
File > Save as > Save a copy as > Word document

Export or Save Pages document as a HTML

I have created a document in pages and want to email it as an HTML rather than PDF. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Pages 3 does not have an option for exporting in HTML. The previous versions did but the results were terrible.
You might try copying & pasting into a TextEdit document & saving it as a web archive. Open the archive in Safari & then choose "Mail Contents of This Page" from the File menu.

When I save pages documents from my iPad I cannot open in on my macbook.

I updated to Mavericks OX, as well as the latest pages. It says I need a new version of pages, but I have the latest: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
I took it to the apple store and thay sait it was a glitch that they will likely have resolved. How loing will I have this issue? Is there a fix?

Telling us you have the "latest" tells us nothing, because we don't know what you think that means.
In case you do in fact have Pages 5.01, the problem is that you probably also have an older version in your Applications/iWork folder and are opening your iPad document with the older Pages not the newer.
You will find the newer version in your Applications folder.
Apple helps this along nicely by giving two entirely different file formats the same file extension ".pages"

If I use pages and numbers on a Mac can I save the documents as an extension that I can use on a PC?

If I use pages and numbers on a Mac mini can I then save the documents as extensions that can be opened on a PC?

You can save Pages documents as Word documents and save a Numbers document as an Excel file. In Lion you can go to File>Export and then save as Word or Excel.
I assume that there is a way to do it in SL or Leopard as well.

How to save a Pages document as a Word file

I downloaded the new version of Pages hoping for better Word compatibility. To be honest I can't see any difference in the compatibility.
Apple says on their page for Pages 5.0 that you can save Pages documents as Word files. "You can save Pages documents as Word files. Or import and edit Word documents right in Pages." Since they say "save" and not "export", I figured I could treat it like I would in Word. Do I still have to export the document or can I now just save it as a Word file without ending with duplicates?

You have to Export.

Problems saving Pages documents

Hi our Mac has just started not letting us save Pages documents. We are not doing anything differently!
If you try to save a new document, after you've chosen the location, it comes up with a pop up saying "the file ... couldn't be opened"
Any ideas anyone? I've tried searching on here, but can't find anyone with the same problem...
I tried pasting in to a new doc and that doesnt work either.

Quit the app. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ iCloud
Uncheck the box marked
Documents & Data
then check it again.
Relaunch the app. There will be a delay before your documents stored in iCloud reappear.

I can't save a document in pages (newest version-'13)

I recently updated pages and when I try to save a document an alert comes down stateing "The file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened". Does anyone know if there is a fix to this problem?

I had this same problem - I was very disappointed. I played around with it a bit and discovered that by changing the filename it fixed the problem. Initial file names were "Untitled.pages"... "Untitled 2.pages" etc. You can change the name by clicking the title of the document window. After changing the filename, I was able to save without issues and then move the file to the location of my choice.

How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.
