Making a Pages document compatible with Word and Full-screen view

Hi there! I would like to know if it is necessary to have Microsoft Office installed on my computer in order to be able to save a Pages document as "Microsoft Word" compatible. As of now, when I select the "Save As" option, I'm only able to save my document as a iWork 06 and 05 file. Also, I've noticed that on the video tutorials online, there is a "full-screen" mode and I was wondering if it was available on iWork 08, or if it is only for iWork 09. Thank, and sorry if these questions have been answered before!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
No, you don't need Office installed. That's the whole idea. Go to File > Export & choose Word (or text, rtf or pdf). The option to "save as" Word has been added in Pages 4/iWork '09 as well as in export.

  • Timeline and full screen view in PSE11

    I have read as many reviews of PSE11 as I can find but none have mentioned the Timeline, which I use every day. Does it still exist in PSE11? What about the full screen view and compare side by side view? Do they still exist. If they do, can you still see the image full-size by clicking on it in full screen view?

    Timeline and Full Screen View exists in PSE11 and all the earlier functionalities present in full screen view are present. The Timeline and Full Screen View can be accessed from View menu of Elements Organizer.

  • Problem with Cover Flow full screen view in 10.6

    I like to use the Cover Flow full screen view in iTunes on my monitor.  Since upgrading to iTunes 10.6 Cover Flow full screen view will revert to Cover Flow standard view between each song. This did not occur with any previous version of iTunes. Is there a setting that will prevent Cover Flow automatically switching back to standard view from full screen view?

    I guess I am the only one experiencing this issue of Cover Flow full screen view collapsing to standard view when a song within an album or playlist changes. This began in 10.6 and has continued in 10.6.1. At least I have not experienced the more serious issues others have with 10.6.

  • Pages and key note not compatible with word and powerpoint

    Dear members
    I have received valuable help here, but still pages does not open word documents, I am having problems because I am the only person in my organisation who uses Mac! All the documents are in word format. Yvan kindly helped me and told me to use some tests. I wonder what kind of tests are, I spoke with Apple care, they spent 40 min on the phone doing the following after explaining:
    I have a new Mac pro laptop which came as a replacement because the first one had a problem with bluetooh.
    The previous Mac pro could open word and powerpoint using pages and key note
    When I received the new mac pro I passed the information to the previous one to this one using time machine
    I noticed immediately that the new mac pro could not open word using pages
    After this I have received snow leopard , installed it , the problem remains
    I explained this to the technician on the phone
    Then:
    put caches on desktop
    updated the snow leopard to 10.6.1
    created a file and saved as a word file using pages, but pages still not open the same doc created by it
    The technician tried to contact a senior member and I was left waiting for 20 min to speak with a senior and never happened, I called again and they did the same
    Of course that there is something wrong with my system because the previous faulty mac could open word and powerpoint
    Any ideas?
    Best Regards
    Omar

    I love iWork, but honestly, if I were the only one in an organization to use a Mac, I would get NeoOffice or Open Office, which are intended to be directly compatible with their Microsoft equivalents. Or, you know, buy MS Office for the Mac.

  • Set screen resolution, and full screen view mode (F11)

    Hi,
    I have a jsp page which only looks right in 1280x1024. Can I write some kind of code to set the browser to always be 1280x1024 and the view mode to be full screen regardless of the client's setting?
    I would like to thank all for responding to my previous questions/problems.

    Hi,
    after all, try <body onload="window.resizeTo(width,height);">. It works for me. You can also turn off navigation bars etc. See http://forums.devarticles.com/javascript-development-22/change-window-size-and-nav-bar-status-on-page-load-2091.html for example - or google "javascript resize window".
    However, I don't know of a method to set the window to an F11-like fullscreen mode.
    Regards,

  • The App "pages" not compatible with Word Docs?

    I have purchase the App Pages and seemed to be having lots of problems.  I cannot open files without it being Read Only.  My instructor sends me assignements through his PC and I cannot open it to copy it.  I am transcribing his email to a Pages Doc.  When I am saving it...it saves under a pages doc that no one can open.  I have tried saving it with the .doc or .docx at the end and get the same problem.  Is this the wrong program to use or am I missing something...

  • Safari and Full Screen view

    Hi
    Could someone please advise on how to make safari fit the whole screen or make it larger than its default size when it opens.
    Any advise would be greatly received as i am a newbie to the macbook and have only been a convert for 24 hrs.

    Could someone please advise on how to make safari fit the whole screen or make it larger than its default size when it opens.
    The answer depends on the resolution of your screen, and what you're willing to do. If you click once on the green button at the top left of the browser window, it will resize Safari to fit the content of the site you're visiting; clicking once again will return it to it's original size.
    If you click and drag the lower right corner of the browser window, you can resize it arbitrarily to whatever you like, within the limits of your screen. If you quit Safari after browsing at a different size than what it started as, that is the size it will open to upon the next use.
    You could also place one or more JavaScript bookmarklets on your Bookmarks Bar to let you click once on any of them and resize Safari to a predetermined amount. The largest would obviously be the maximum dimensions of your screen. You can find working examples here: Mac OS X Hints

  • Pages compatible with word?

    hi. I'm just wondering if pages is compatible with word. Example- if I type a document on a PC in word, save it to a flash drive, and then plug the flash drive into my macbook at home, can I open the document seamlessly in pages? A while ago, I tried typing a document in the mac version of word, and then opened it on a PC with word, and I got either strange symbols instead of letters or an underscore between every letter in the document. Will this happen between word and pages?

    You cannot open it seamlessly in the sense that you just open it, make some modifications, save it, make some more modifications, save it again and then bring it back to the PC. To bring it back to the PC you have to go through a number of dialog steps and give the file a new name.
    However, the import of Word documents to Pages works fine for almost all documents, and the export it decent.
    You will most probably not encounter the problems you describe above, if the Word documents come from a PC with Office XP, Office 2000 or Office 2003.

  • I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
    If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
    Pages
    When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

  • How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit between both.

    How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

    Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
    If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.

    iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
    Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
    I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
    Open Office is free, you can download it here:

  • Should I purchase Pages or stick with Word?

    I've been using Word for years and the new one for Mac was fantastic! But, my computer was tragically stolen and my Office with it and Pages is less expensive... But I really want to make sure I'll be able to edit my documents in the same way (or better) as I am currently writing my master's thesis and am obsessed by good format and presentation. 
    If I buy the Pages app for my MacBook, will I be able to upload in iCloud easily or is it necessary to buy the complete iLife? And will I be able to see the docs on my iPod or will I have to buy the other Pages app for iPod? Is Pages compatible with Word without making the format go all weird?
    Thanks!!!

    Pages is one of the applications in the iWork suite, not iLife.
    You do not have to buy all three of the iWork apps, just the ones you need. You buy the Mac versions through the Mac App Store & the iOS versions separately through the iTunes Store.
    With iCloud support enabled in Pages for iOS you will be able to access the documents you upload to iCloud from your Mac. Apple has not enabled automatic iCloud syncing for the Mac versions so you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or sync via iTunes.
