Ms word formatting all messed up in Pages

Hi all.
I am using the iPad2 with Pages to edit and print from my iPad.
I am typically opening email attachments in this case an MS Word document only to find that the formatting is all messed up.
This is not restricted to this one document, but many.
Anyone know what I can do about this ?
I would have attached an example but cannot find a way of adding an attachment here for you to look at.
Regards
James

Here is a link to the Pages formatted version of the document

Help! typed a code into Terminal and not Microsoft Word is all messed up

Hi everyone!
I'm hoping (really hoping!) someone will be able to help me.
I wanted my MAC desktop to save screenshots as JPEG images. (For a book cover I'm trying to design myself)
So I found an online "E-How" article that suggested I copy and paste two codes into the "Terminal." I did and it worked.
However, when I opened up MS Word ('11) for MAC, now my Word is completely messed up. It has only about 30 fonts to choose from, it doesn't recognize the most basic commands.
How do I undo that Code I typed into the Terminal and get my desktop back to how it was???
Thanks!!

Hello, it's unlikely those commands directly caused your Word problem.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Any change?

I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc. I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic. Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages? thanks

I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture. If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender? Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it. I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
thanks,

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

Export to Word Format BUG - Pages won't do it

The latest version of Pages for MAC (5.0.1), can't export a simple text document to WORD format.
It takes forever and, at last, craches my Mac .
Anyone else's expericing it?
Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks Allan!
Doing it now...

Web-Pages can NOT print, although others-printing, i.e., e-mails, words are ALL OK

H
HP PC with Windows 7 that I just purchased recently.
Two Printers: Officejet F4480 and Photosmart C6380 All-in-one series do NOT print any of web-pages, although I can print any others sites, i.e., e-mails, word and all other sites.
I installed HP Smart Web-printing, however I love to print in normal printing method, ... File > Print.
Any help into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

Pages export in Word format problem

A Pages-5 file exported as a Word file opens in MS Word as one would expect but crashes or fails to open in Open Office 4 which opens all other .doc/.docx files perfectly. The new version of Pages must be doing something strange to the Word format as this never happened with earlier versions.
Any ideas ???

Exported a .docx from IOS Pages v2.0.1 (new format) to OS X Mavericks and Lion.
The above file crashed LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 (latest) on both operating systems. It opened fine in Preview, TextEdit, Quick Look, and Bean (3.2.5) on both operating systems. On Lion, it opened fine in Office for Mac 2011 (4.3.9). Do not have the latter installed on Mavericks.
On Mavericks, opened this .docx in Pages ’09 v4.3 successfully with import warnings about removing all borders, and a large white-space area between text on the first page.
On Mavericks, I opened this .docx in TextEdit. Added two words to it, and updated it in place. I then dragged and dropped it on the LibreOffice icon in the Dock. LibreOffice opened it without issue.
Clearly, the IOS Pages export to Word (.docx) has some compatibility issues with OpenOffice and LibreOffice, as apparently does Pages v5 on OS X.

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use..

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

Can I save from the "pages" app to the "Dropbox" app, and will it save the footnotes if I save in word format in Dropbox?

As the headline.
I would like to know, is I can save files from pages (and other typing apps), to Dropbox, and still keep the footnotes if I save it in word format. I want to be able to open it on my PC, and have a normal word document with all the corrections from the iPad.
Thanks in advance
Christian.

My pages is showing error while opening a document in microsoft word format. Please help

While trying to open documents in microsoft word format, pages is showing an error. It is unable to complete the task and is requesting me to reopen pages but then no response. However I am able to work on pages format. Please help.
thanks

When you open a Word document in Pages, it is translated into the internal .pages document format — and you are no longer working in the original Word document format. This translation also occurs in reverse when exporting a document back to Word. When you open a Word document in Pages, if it has issues with the translation (missing font characteristics, other issues), it will open a warning dialog box and display these issues for you.
If however, you prefer to always work in the native Word document format, and not risk translation issues, then you should be using MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 with the latest update.

Send it as a PDF.

Since OS X Yosemite upgrade, cannot share document from pages in word format. Therefore document cannot be opened by non apple user. How do I get around this please?

Since the OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 update to my iMac (27 inch, Mid 2010) , I can no longer "share" a document from Pages in word format via email. It can be sent as an att but then as "Pages" cannot be accessed by a non apple receiver. Please what is the answer, the old method was fast, simple and efficient.
Out of my depth appreciate some help.

Are you using the File > Export function? It will deposit a Word document onto your desktop (or any folder you choose) and then you can attach it to your email.

Word I convert a PDF to WORD format. I have signed up to Export PDF but everytime I try to covert all it asks is that I sign in again and I cant get past it.

Hi bouerbird,
I just l looked at your account using the same email address that you use here in the forums, and don't see any order history for you. Is it possible that you signed up using a different email address?
Best,

Documents sent in ms word format do not open correctly in pages

Documents sent in word format do not appear as the should when I open them in pages. There are sections overlapping & as such I cannot read them. Any advice appreciated. I don't want to have to buy ms office.

This is an example

I have a document in Pages that, when I export it to Word, makes all the pages bold font no matter what I have tried.

You might have luck in the Pages community. I’ll ask the hosts to move your post there.
