Losing formatting when opening existing Pages '09 document

Trying to find answer as to why my Pages document shows correctly when viewing preview (spacebar) but when open document in application Pages it loses some of its formatting especially picture size/position throwing all rest of pages out. It doesn't occur throughout only final half.  Can anyone assist with a solution? Many thanks.

When you ask Preview to display the doc's contents, it doesn't decipher the real doc, it show the embedded preview.pdf file.
It seems that the preview.pdf is OK but the index.xml file describing the document is corrupted.
May you send the doc to my mailbox so that I may have a look on it ?

  • Pages '08 says "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." when opening a Pages '08 Document

    Created a document 3 years ago with Pages '08.  Got a new Mac last summer, migrated my user account, reinstalled Pages '08.  Upgraded to Mavericks recently.
    Now when trying to open the document I get the message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." 
    Note that I have read a number of the messages here that are similar.  To be clear there is only one Pages (Pages '08) on this system.  Its in the iWork folder.
    Is it the case that this document and all the other Pages '08 documents on my system are lost forever? 
    BTW I have looked at the new version of Pages.  Its just plain awful from UX to quality.  What has gone wrong at Apple and specifically in the iWork group in the past few years???
    Thanks for any help!
    K
    And in trying to post this I got the "You are not allowed to create or update this content"  Changed the Community from what was automatically selected and seems to work now.  Whats with Apple Engineering and QA these days??? 

    I've never had Pages 5 on my system.  Just to confirm I copied the file to a USBDrive and gave it to a friend to try out.  He has Pages 5 on a new MBP with latest Mavericks.  When he tried to open it he got the following message:
    "You document will open in the new Pages for Mac.  If you save it or edit it, you'll need the latest Pages on iOS7 to open it on an iOS device."
    But it did open on his system.  He closed it, no save, and reopened but did not get the above message again.
    We concluded that the file is actually a Pages '08 file because of the above message.
    However we also suspect that when this file was simply opened in Pages 5.2.2 on his system it got flagged and possibly converted which is actually quite offensive!
    Thoughts/Advice?

    Yes.  They don't make any sense to me either.  Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

  • How can I choose a font besides Myriad Pro as default when opening existing PDFs in Illustrator?

    I already know how to do this for new documents.
    But I work with PDFs generated in AutoCAD.
    When opening these files in Illustrator, the default font is always set to Myriad Pro.
    How can I substitute my desired font for Myriad when opening EXISTING files, short of copy/pasting into a new file? That workaround is just as time-consuming as resetting the font every time I work on a new document.
    Illustrator has to be referencing something when defaulting to this font. It seems unbelievable that this setting cannot be altered.
    Any ideas out there?

    We get autocad dies from a variety of sources, quite often the font is .txt which susbtitutes to myriad. I use find font  to substitue myriad to arial.
    Since no doucment is open, changing the New document profiles does not help to get rid of Myriad.
    You can record an action for this and set a hot key. The action is pretty fast

  • Why does Firefox get hung up, when opening new pages? I've tried disabling plugins and extensions to no avail.

    Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.
    I've tried disabling all the plugins and extensions, but it doesn't make any difference.

  • Pages 5.0 won't open existing Pages '09 docs

    Upgraded to Mavericks and updated Pages.  However, new Pages 5.0 won't let me open older existing Pages documents saved on my Mac.  However, it will open Pages documents saved in iCloud.  When attempting to open Pages docs on my Mac, I get the following error message:
    How do I get around this?  Do I have to dig around and find my old iWorks disk and reinstall Pages '09?

    Sorry to be "that guy", but i've done that without an issue, I can now add pages by copying previous ones, but now Pages 4.3 groups a new page which is blank, with page 13. It also adds a the copy of the last page below the two that get grouped together.  So basically, I end up with 2 copys of page 13, and the original.

  • Horizontal menu moves when opening new pages

    I have seven top level pages and have used the horizontal  menu widget in my master page. When I view the site in my browser the first four pages load with no problem but when I open the last three pages the menu moves  about 20pixles to the right. If I then open say page two from this page the menu then reverts back to the original place as it was in the home page.
    Can anyone advise me as to why this is happening. I have also tried this with the last four pages left blank and the problem still exists so I would assume that the page content is not the cause.
    Thank you in anticipation
    John

    One way that it could shift is if the first few pages are longer than the others and the side scroll displays or disappears.

    the last two functions are called recursively over 40 times...

    Today, I was able to open the older version of the template if I only viewed the code first.  So I was able to narrow it down to one change I had made.  I had changed:
    <link href="/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    to:
    <link href="http://mydomain.com/css/960grid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    When I tried to save the document, Dreamweaver hanged.  The document opened fine with all of the other changes I had made, although it couldn't find the CSS files (I had moved the site to another root locally).
    This really looks like a bug in Dreamweaver to me.  I've seen CSS links like this in other people's websites, so it does look like valid CSS to me.  Is there a workaround for this?

  • Music when opening home page?

    I am trying to have music immediately come on when my home page is opened!
    (without clicking on anything)I am successful in placing music, but you have to click on it! Can any one help ? Thanks

    if you just want music to play when you open the webpage you need to do several things.
    1. drag the audio file into iWeb. if you want the visitors to see the bar to allow pausing and more, then put it somewhere you want. if you want your visitors to see NOTHING, then put a box in colour of the background INFRONT of the audio file.
    2. then you need to do something a bit complicated. publish your website (i assume you use .mac). find your iDisk. open Web/Sites/iWeb/YOURWEBSITENAME/ then look for the page name that contains the audio you placed in iWeb, ITS A FOLDER . i'll call it audio , in the folder should be a file that ends in .js open it up with Text Edit (((((if you see your website go preferences and change the formatting into text, So you see a lot of text you dont get. lol))))))))k. now it gets complicated
    2a. find in the using the search function, for the name of your audio file (spaces are changed to %20).
    2b. in the same paragraph there should say something like controller (controller bar at the bottom), autoplay, loop (repeats the song foreever) and stuff. behind in quoteations it should say true or false. Change the values to what you want.
    2c. you need to change the values twice to make it work. one looks like this <para name="autoplay" value="false" /
    the other like a bit more down autoplay="false"
    2d. CHANGE each value to true or false depending on how you want it.
    3. save the file.
    4. go to your web adress and see if the music plays automatically
    5. if not working, write back
    hopefully that long text told you how to do it

  • Getting 500 Internal Server Error when opening GC page

  • Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

    When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
    This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
    I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
    Thanks to anyone that can help.

    One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
    If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Disable app link when opening new page in safari

    I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the app link that appears in Safari when opening a new page on websites that have apps available. This is super annoying to me because if I wanted to open the app, or install the app for that matter I WOULD OPEN OR INSTALL IT MYSELF, lol. I don't need a popup taking up screen space, slowing down how Safari loads and operates. This pops up every time I load a new Google page, or Amazon page - etc, whether I have the app installed or not. I've been all through the settings and searching the web and I cant find any way to turn this "feature" off. Can anyone out there help me please?

    Hi Scooter!
    Thanks for posting a Presuming "SOLUTION"
    I don't have these problems as you described, but did you drag the Cookies.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari an try to open a NEW TAP.
    What happens now ... is Safari handling opening a new tap from the TOP SITE window?
    Post back ...
