Lost the paste and move text function in Pages '09 also suddenly can't open .doc or .docx files

A few days ago I lost the ability to open .doc or .docx files in Pages '09 version 4.3.
Today I find that I can not paste or move text within Pages.
I updated everything yesterday and still no luck.
Help....

A Google search using the terms <document "could not be opened" iwork"> turns up two possible solutions:
Pages '09 refuses to create/open existing doc after Lion upgrade
Re: The document “navidad.numbers” could not be opened.
The first discussion's solution is to delete/reinstall/update iWork. The second is to edit the underlying code within the document and remove any Unicode characters.
I recommend you go with solution no. 1. Use Yvan Koenig's script to delete iWork completely (see below), then reinstall and update iWork before attempting to open a Word document. Then let us know how you went.
Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

  • Select and move text on 80 pages

    I want to move all headlines in my 80 pages long InDesign (CS4) document about 10mm downwards. Is there a way I can do that with some clicks? All titles have the same paragraph styles.

    [Jongware] wrote:
    Set a Paragraph Rule Above in that paragraph style. The "Offset" field uses the baseline, so you must experiment a bit to see how much to set it to for a 10 mm distance above. Then set its colour to None, and select "Keep In Frame".
    One important difference between using the space before paragraph property and a paragraph rule above is that InDesign ignores space before the first paragraph in a text frame (also ignores space below the last paragraph in a text frame), and a paragraph rule above or below always applies the rule to the paragraph, whether it's at the top or bottom of a text frame.
    Another way to think about achieving the same effect is to always use a paragraph with the space below property before the heading you want to separate by xmm. This is appropriate for documents whose style guide specifies that a certain paragraph style must be used before a particular heading style...and, of course, in situations where those who work on the documents follow such style guides rigorously.

    I am purchasing tv shows from the itunes store to my macbook pro.  I can't sync them to my itouch.  I used to get 2 version to download an HD and non HD no longer happening.  What is the problem?  Never had an issue before just started.

    You did everything 'right' and yet in most cases such as you present, it turns out to be a bad SATA cable 99% of the time.
    I, too, have a Late 2011 15" model and never had a problem with my SATA cable and my SSD. Most people don't. But then there are those few who do.
    You can likely find a 'warrantied' cable on www.ifixit.com - however, I've never heard of anyone having problems with the much less expensive options on eBay!

  • HT1349 i lost the IMEI AND ICCID NO. ON I-PHONE HOW I CAN RESTOR THEM BACK TO THE PHONE

    how to restore my IMEI AND ICCID ON MY I-PHONE FROM i-tunes

    You're hosed. Missing IMEI and ICCID indicate a critical failure. It can't be fixed. The phone is now a paper-weight. Congratulations. You may as well open it up with a hammer and a screwdriver to see all the cool stuff inside. Google isn't going to help you. Nothing will. It is truly destroyed.

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.

  • I have uploaded photos from the past and they are grouped by dates.  How do I seperate those photos into their own folder/album so that I can easily identify the contents.  Also, what is the difference between Album, Smart Album and folders?

    I have uploaded photos from the past and they are automatically arranged by date.  As a result, there are many events grouped into one library/event/folder/album (not sure of the proper terminology) I'd like to separate them into folders/albums/smart albums so that I can easily identify the contents.  How do I do that and do I delete the originals?

    It would be good to take the tutorials and learn iPhoto - these are for the previous version but the concepts are the same and much of the command is the same - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. - also the tutorials in iPhoto Help will be helpful - while iPhoto is easy and intuitive it does have a learning curve and it will save you time and pain if you spend a few minutes learning the basics
    as to organization - events are generally time based and are the basic automatic organization - you can merge and split them to make them work better for you but they are not a good way to do detailed organization - best to leave them time based
    albums are logical things that contain photos and are just pointers to the photo in the event so they take no extra space and all changes to a photo anywhere are reflected everywhere
    Smart albums are the same except they are automatically filled based on the criteria you set when you create them
    Folders are containers that you create and a folder can contain albums, smart albums or other folders so they are a big help in organization - like a vacation folder that holds folders for France, USA, China with each of thos folders holding albums of photos from the country
