Open Pages 3 documents with Pages 5?

I'm thinking of updating from Pages 3.x to 5.x.
Is it true one cannot open Pages 3 files with Pages 5?
If so, what is the workaround?

Yes, it's true. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can also use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.
If you don't want to use iWork '09 to convert the files to a format that the new versions can open you can export them as Microsoft Office documents - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - then open those in the new versions.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

Hi higi97,
How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
You may try to follow the steps below:
1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Delete the opm.db file.
4.Launch Creative Cloud.
Let us know if that helps,
Regards,

How do I open OS 9 documents with OS 10.4.11

I need to know how to open documents created with OS 9 using 10.4.11
My hard drive has been replaced and I no longer have OS 9 on my system, plus, I don't have an old OS 9 install disc. I've got a ton of important documents I thought I'd open and try to convert to something that could be shared using Pages. But, no such luck.
I'm fairly sure these documents were created using OS 9. The icons show a diagonal pencil with an upper case A in the top left half, a bar graph in the lower right half of a page with the upper right corner turned down. (I'm sure you're probably familiar with the icon, if you're old enough to remember the 90's)
I just got Open Office for Word but haven't installed it yet. Does Open Office (or someone else) have a download that will let me open old Apple docs?
Is there a simple solution to my problem? HELP - I don't have hard copies!!

About the only way you can open documents created in applications
under OS 9.x would be to have access to the applications, and likely
have those running under an OS 9 system or through OS X 10.x as
a Classic system while not independently bootable from OS X.
Since you do not necessarily need to have an OS 9.2.2 full installer
or restore installation to get an OS 9.2.2 system (and apps folder)
into your PPC G5 computer, you do need a way to load it into the
computer. This can be drag and drop; since it will not be starting
the computer. A copy of another similar computer's OS 9.2.2
system folder and the OS9 applications folder should be the easy
street to getting something into your G5.
(Unless you have the original restore/install disc set for that G5,
however, or something almost identical in vintage and version;
actually running an installer to put an OS 9.2.2 system in there
would be most unlikely.)
A copy on to an external HDD (firewire) could be used as a
Classic volume, it could be used by the OS X system to
open some older documents. But I suspect you'd need to
have Apple Works 6.2 or so, for the document to be read.
That application was included for use in both OS 9.2.2
and OS X 10.x There may be a chance you could open
an AppleWorks document in OS X (with AW) by checking
the document's preference (get info) panel to see if it says
open as classic, and has a checkbox; or not.
There is alot going on in a computer and to not have the
original software installed or only part of it, makes some
simple things difficult. My iMac G4 1.25GHz 17" machine
has an OS 9 system folder and apps folder; I don't use it,
but since it takes up almost no room on the 80GB HDD,
to remove it makes virtually no sense; as nothing is gained.
My iMac G4 has AppleWorks (in OS X) and also, it can see
and open AW documents -- some AW documents, depending
on how they were created, in AppleWorks w/o OS 9. But this
is no necessarily a standard thing; it may not work at all in
your computer. Classic (an OS 9.2 system folder) is a require-
ment for pre-X applications to open, and a suitable application
has to be there to run. The OS 9.2 system need not boot the Mac.
There may be some other workaround; short of utilizing a second
Mac with either a Classic - OS 9.2.2 system intact, or a more
traditional dual-boot OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.x computer; and then
save the file in a different manner, or export it via FireWire, CD
or ? to the other Macintosh. Sometimes, a text document can
be copy/pasted into an email or saved as a pdf and sent to
another computer, and used that way. However, not being able
to open the document without a translator, it may be a problem.
If you can find an application that can see, open and translate
an OS 9 created document in some application such as A.W.
then you may be able to use the contents.
(If you have AppleWorks in your G5 now, see if you can choose
to have AW open this doc file; out of curiosity. It may translate.
I've forgotten alot about these kinds of things, and no longer use
OS 9.2.2 since I sold my last dual booting computers years ago.)
Good luck in this matter!

If I open the same document with two different apps on my iPhone does the document get saved twice?

For example, I chose to open a .pdf document I received as an attachment with Adobe Reader or iBooks, and now the document is available anytime I open Adobe Reader or iBooks. My question is if these applications are able to open the document anytime they want then the document must be available somewhere on the device, where do they get saved? And do they get saved twice if I opened the same document once with iBooks and once with Adobe Reader?

Opening .pdf web documents with Acrobat XI Standard

After installing Acrobat XI, when I click the hyperlink "view" for .pdf statements in either of my two brokerage company accounts, or click on a hyperlink to open a .pdf document in a web document, the .pdf gets downloaded but not opened. So I have to view .pdf documents from my "Downloads" folder, rather than having them simply open in a new page or tab when I click on them. (The new tab either quickly disappears or stays open, but is blank. Only the Download location works to open the .pdf file.) I don't know whether this is an Adobe issue with Acrobat XI or something else causing my computer not to open the .pdf files. I am running Acrobat XI Standard in the Windows Vista Home Premium OS on a Gateway GT5678 PC.

Many thanks for the quick response, Bill. On your hunch that the browser
might make a difference, I tried clicking on the same sites' .pdf files in
Chrome and IE, rather than my normal Firefox browser. They opened on-screen
without a problem. Looks like I may have a Java plugin problem in Firefox,
rather than an AA XI issue. Also looks like Windows Vista supports AA XI
without a problem.

Whenever I open a pdf document with Adobe Readeron my PC, nightly automatically opens a blank tab.

Whenever I open a local pdf document with Adobe Reader, nightly automatically opens a blank tab.

Sorry, Mozilla isn't actively working on Win 64-bit version development at this time.

Cannot open Office 2004 documents with Office 2011 on Lion Server

I am in the process of moving our documents from a Tiger server to Lion server. My users who are using Office 2004 are having no issues, but the users with Office 2011 cannot open any documents with the .doc extension. I have tried logging on using afp and smb and I get different error messages but no access. When logging on as smb if I try to double-click I get the file type blocked message. If I go to File/Open I get the message Word cannot open this document. The file be in use, etc. There are no special characters in the file name. If I try to open a docx document then no problem. The same problem occurs with xls versus xlsx documents. Does anyone know if there is something different I should be doing. Permissions are set for full access. We have a mix of users with both versions of Office and over 90% of the file server are .doc or .xls documents. I cannot fully implement until I get this resolved.

I am having the same problem with UCM 10gr3. Our desktop engineers are doing an enterprise upgrade of MS Office to 2010 and this issue just surfaced. Trish, how do your users authenticate to Beehive? We are using a cusom connector using our AD.

Opening PC WORd documents with AW

I am new IMAC user. Unfortunately salesman (Best Buy) told me that a word processor and spread sheet were part of the software package! I want to buy AW (sounds like a great program and my son loves it), but need to know how to open PC Word documents from email. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks.

As Roger said, AppleWorks may not open newer Word & Excel files, from a PC or Mac. In the past, AppleWorks 6 was able to open almost all Word & Excel documents, it is not able to open those saved with newer versions of either Mac or PC application. The Office translators in AppleWorks were introduced in late 2000 or early 2001 & have not been updated. In the meantime, Microsoft has made significant changes in the file formats in the last year or two that AppleWorks can't open them any more. AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000, & hasn't even had any kind of update since January, 2004.

Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
Thanks

try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
1. Declare your button
               JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
               butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
               butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
               c.add( butexlcom );
2. run your word document.
class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
     private JTextArea msgout;
     public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
     msgout = msg;
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe NameWordDocument");
          catch(Exception en) {

What you got is normal. The updater apply to older intalled AppleWorks 6.
If you need to open your documents, you need AppleWorks 6.
So search a bit on the Net to buy one copy.
