MS word opened with pages Black marks

When I open a Microsoft word document in pages I get a black square with a circle in it at the end of some lines. How can I remove them ?(Delete doesn't work. The cursor dosen't recognize that they are there, but the printer does.) Is there a preference in Pages that I can set or change?

Select the text and change the font.
Your default font only applies to new text.
I am only guessing at the cause however, as that is the only thing I know of that looks like that.
Can you take a screensnap of the object and post it here?

  • A 2nd copy of firefox opens with a black screen when opening Firefox

    After Firefox loads with the home pages, a second copy of Firefox also opens with one black screen. The black screen has the same url as the 1st tab in the 1st copy of Firefox, with one addition as follows:
    1st copy, 1st tab url: www.newsmax.com
    2nd copy (no tabs) url: www.newsmax.com/mainpop.htm
    I'm using Windows XP, sp3, and Firefox version 10.0.1.
    It does the same on another desktop with Windows 7, same Firefox version(10.0.1).

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Documents opened with Pages 5.0 not opening with Pages 09

    I just downloaded the new version of Pages 5.0, and I really don't like it, it makes taking notes in class harder for me, and I wanted to go back to the previous version, but the documents that I opened with Pages 5.0 I cannot open them anymore with the previous version of Pages. They're not documents that I created with Pages 5.0, I created them with the previous version.
    So I wanted to know if anyone can help me.

    Once you open and save older documents in Pages v5, they are now in a new Apple document format that is incompatible with the prior version of Pages. Pages v5 does have the ability to save documents in Pages ’09 v4 document format. Keeping track of document names by Pages version becomes enigmatic without a purposeful naming convention.
    If you had Pages ’09 v4.n in /Applications, it is now in /Applications/iWork, and you can still use it instead of Pages v5.

  • How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked.  Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open.  The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

    Hi Karen,
    Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
    Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
    In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
    In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
    In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
    Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
    Close the info window.
    Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Always open with Pages '09 doesn't work? (Pages 3.0)

    i have a copy of Pages '09 and a copy of Pages 3.0 on my MBP. unfortunately my Mac Pro only goes up to Lion so i cannot use 3.0 and this machine cannot /read/ 3.0 pages document.
    consequently, i would like to almost always open Pages documents with the 09 version or i would like to temporarily unload 3.0 so that i don't end up with a mess of files that only open on my laptop.
    unfortunately when i right click on a PAGES document and go to PAGES 09 and check "Always Open With" - this single document opens with pages 09 but other pages documents seem to open with pages 3.0.
    am i missing something here or is this the intended implementation? i mean, can i set pages documents on this computer ot always open with 09 unless i manually tell it to open with 3.0 or am i somehow supposed to tell every pages file on my HD to open with 09 (which is obviously not workable).
    any ideas on what i am missing or if my system is acting buggy.
    thanks

    hi T.
    thanks a bunch.
    somehow i forgot this fact.
    does seem like for new users they could put a prompt in Open With Other to direct people to Get Info and in Get Info they could put a prompt to direct people to Open With Other in the event one has one workflow need as opposed to the other. this is a pretty basic user need, there is nothing obvious in the prompts that tells you what in fact you are doing, and even after having been back on the mac for a number of years now it is not one i remember even when working in the UI.
    again many thanks.

  • When I'm editing a video on imovie, it opens with some black parts which are waging. How do I stop it?

    My imovie is with problem. When I'm editing a video, it opens with some black parts which are waging, then the macbook gets slow. The original clip of the event gets all in blue and when I close imovie, it remains loading and lock completely.

    i Founfd this exact behaviour with 1080p mivies on my machine. I redownloaded as 720p and all was fine. I think my computer is getting a little dated.
    If this is true for you then Select Preferences, Store and When downloading High Definition videos, prefer and select 720p. Then red donload form the Purchased link under Quick Links in iTunes Store

    Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Voiceover - turn off Voiceover. The shortcut is command-F5, so possibly you pressed that accidentally.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • I can't open word document with pages

    I cant open word docuemtns with pages

    What version of Pages are you using? You may need to run Software Update (from the  menu).

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

    Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
    Help!

    I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.

  • I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

    I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both.  I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it  - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from  any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it  ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough  - or maybe it's me?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • IPhone screen is different colours with a black mark in the corner and lines on it. Help?

    I dropped my phone accidently but the screen didn't break and it was fine when I picked it up (I could view my lock screen). After a couple of minutes my screen went different colours with lines on the edges of it and a black mark in the corner. How can I fix this?

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that does not work, then the LCD has probably failed. Despite the fact that the glass did not break, it does not mean that it was not damaged. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it looked at.
