How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

Thank you so much - so simple! I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options. I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it. Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
Thanks again
Lindsay

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

Take us through this in more detail.
What is the Word file? From a PC?
What version of Word and what is the file extension?
What is it about the text that is different?
When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

Have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy

I have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

Way to save MS Word file as a PDF with original MS Word file date?

For archiving purposes, I'm betting PDFs will be readable (backwards compatible) long after my current file saved in Microsoft Word becomes out of date. Anyone know of a way I can save my Word file as a PDF while retaining the original Word file last-modified date (for patent protection reasons to prove date of authorship)? (or Word to text file or ASCII file would also be equivalent as long as original date is kept)

I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.

Hello,
Perhaps you could ask in Microsoft's ASP.Net C# forum:

Or, you could ask in the

Why can't Pages "save as" Word?

I'm trying to like Pages in lieu of my long use of Appleworks, but I can't figure out how to do a document in Pages and save it as Word. I do this all the time in Appleworks to interface with the PC folks, but I can't seem to find out how to do it in Pages. Word docs open up beautifully in Pages, but is the "save as" Word option a thing of the past? thanks, Bob Krist

A user coming from the old OS9 days would certainly have a problem because "Save As..." used to be a complex dialog that would have tons of options. "Save As..." with most OSX apps is now the simple dialog that allows you to save the current doc with a different name and "Export" is where all the complex stuff goes.
I have some apps that don't follow this, but these are meant to open old OS9 formats so many of the users may still be more familiar with OS9 conventions.

How to save MS Word file in Database

hi everyone,
I want to use MS Word in forms and then save word file in Oracle8i Database. PLease Tell me How to complete this task.
Many THanks.
Kashif

Good luck using OLE to modify existing DB stored Word documents. There is a REAL nasty bug in 6i (#2615804) that causes the Forms runtime to crash. There is no bug fix availible, as yet, and it's severely affecting our planned migration to Forms 6i. This has the affect of not allowing us to migrate our DB to 9i since 4.5 is not supported against 9i. Sheesh! Request to Metalink for some type of resolution have been met with replies of "you should try storing your documents on the file system since OLE is not support in Forms 9i or web delivery of 6i.
At this stage, we're looking into alternatives to storing Word documents in the DB. The problem is going to be converting the tens of thousands of documents we already have stored. If it's not too late for you, I'd reconsider storing Word documents in the database.
My 2 cents,
Ken Medlock

How to save a word file to a pdf

Just bought the Adobe PDF and realize now it does me no good if I cannot convert my word files to PDF. Can I do this?

You need to install Acrobat. The error normally has the message "Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory." This suggests that you are not logged in as the administrator and may also not have anti-virus disabled for the install. See if that resolves the issue. The other way to get a PDF out of WORD is to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs (though a bit sloppy as is normal with MS products).

Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

How to: Fast save as word file (while working in word file)

I really don't like going in to the export menu all the time, but don't want to save my files as .pages (as I work in files of customers who only have Word or OpenOffice).
How to do that?

This thread comes closest to my question. I was hoping that iWork would be a good alternative to NeoOffice, which opens so slowly and constantly opens Safari, looking for another donation.
As well as needing to export each and every time, if working in a Word document, and going through that tedious process, I'm miffed that it won't save to the document's original location! If the original document is in a subfolder of the user's Documents folder, it only offers to save to Documents, or that list which might include Desktop. So, we end up with different copies/versions of the document on the system.
The app preferences are severely limited as compared to other applications. And, because we might have hit command + S, as we all have that automatic reflex, now we've got a document which also has the .pages extension. Which may also reside in a location different from the original document.
And why doesn't there appear to be a way to see the open document's complete file name, with its extension, in the window's header. I've been searching through the app's limited preferences, and the menu bar choices, without finding an option to see the whole file name. It'd be nice to know whether the open document is the one which has the .pages extension or the one which has the .doc extension.

Adober Reader 8.1.2 will not open new page links to .pdf file

Since upgrading to version 8, I cannot open a pdf file (from IE) if it opens in a new window. It opens local files, and links on pages that go directly to the pdf file, but not if the link opens the file in a new window. This means that I cannot open such things as my VISA statement, etc. What now?
I have Windows XP on a Dell desktop. If it makes any difference, I also have Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 loaded on this computer.
I really need this to work.
Thanks.

Nothing showed in the Event Viewer log. However, just to be thorough:
1. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and rebooted. (all pdf became unassociated)
2. I deleted any acr*.tmp anywhere on my computer.
3. I deleted The 6.0 folder from the application updates path
4. I deleted the 6.0 folder from my install path.
5. I deleted the Adobe folder from my temp directory.
6. I ran CCleaner, cleaned app files and registry and repeated.
7. I rebooted and repeated step 6.
8. I opened Event Viewer, backed up and cleared all events from the log.
9. I installed 8.1.2 (all pdf became associated with Acrobat Reader)
10. Under Event Viewer/Application the event log displays: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
11. Under Event Viewer/System the event log displays: The Windows Installer service entered the stopped state.
12. I tried to launch: the shortcut, a pdf and the exe file.
13. There are no additional events added to any level of the event log.
14. There is no indication of activity from Reader in the Task Manager: Applications or Processes. It never appears in either.
As a final note, I know the 8.1.2 install file is not corrupted because I copied it to another computer where it installed and runs just fine.

How do i save my word files so i can open them in windows?

Im doing some work on my MAC and saving it to my pendrive. Whats the best format to save them so i can open and edit them in windows?

Hi Chris,
Format the flash drive in FAT32, save the file as you would normally and transfer it to the flash drive, then the PC. It should work fine unless one of the Word apps is older.

Pages hijacked my Word files

I manage a few hundred MacBooks running 10.6.3. I'm not sure what happened, but whenever you double click a Word document, Pages opens it. I'm looking for a way to change that file association back to Word. Here's the kicker--I need it to be command line. GUI tools are not an option.
I've tried rebuilding the LaunchServices database, but that didn't work. I imagine the issue can be fixed by tweaking the LaunchServices database or using lsregister, but documentation is hard to come by.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

An invocation of "man -k plist" results in a mention of something called "PlistBuddy", which can "read and write values to plists". It has its own man page in section 8, evidently the "BSD System Manager's Manual". Unfortunately, it's not on the path on my system nor in the Developer hierarchy. Perhaps you can find a copy somewhere.
Using the Property List Editor to open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple/LaunchServices.plist shows a number if entries, each containing items "LSHandlerContentType" and "LSHanderRoleAll". The last one on my system has values of "com.microsoft.work.doc" and "com.microsoft.word". So one part of the exercise would be to identify exactly what values to put in that file for Word.

How to save a Pages document as a Word file

I downloaded the new version of Pages hoping for better Word compatibility. To be honest I can't see any difference in the compatibility.
Apple says on their page for Pages 5.0 that you can save Pages documents as Word files. "You can save Pages documents as Word files. Or import and edit Word documents right in Pages." Since they say "save" and not "export", I figured I could treat it like I would in Word. Do I still have to export the document or can I now just save it as a Word file without ending with duplicates?

You have to Export.
