Opening Word Doc. in Pages - Edit remarks in margin from a word document

I imported a word document into Pages that has edit comments in the margins. When I print the page the content is reduced to about 25%!! I end up with a page with my document, at 25%, centered on a page of white. I looked everywhere and can't seem to find a window or button that would allow me to override or adjust this issue. Any thoughts... I'm sure it's obvious and I'm just missing it.

grafx,
The only way to "fix" this is to shut off Comments. This was a terrible problem in pre-'08 versions, and has been only partially fixed in '08.

    No, it's a document I created and it's not locked.   I did it at work and sent it to Pages so I could work at home.   It opens but I can't type or edit.

  • Can't open word docs in pages 08

    recently upgraded to snow leopard then installed iwork 08. can't open any word docs using pages 08 or excel docs using numbers 08 upgraded to x.0.3 versions and repaired disc permissions. Help anyone!

    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.

  • 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!

  • Opening word docs in pages

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an 8 year old imac to a brand new one, and have decided to use pages, instead of Office for mac which I used previously on the old mac, but I am have great difficulty in opening word docs in pages.
    I have selected a .doc, gone to get info,then open with, pages( default ), then change all, then try to open a word doc, which results in, unable to open.
    I must be doing something wrong, hence I would be grateful for any assistance.
    Many Thanks

    You need to uninstall the iWork trial. Read second post  on this link http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=105&highlight=reinst all&mforum=iworktipsntrick

  • Can I open Word doc in Pages 06

    I get a string error code everytime I try to open a Word doc in Pages 06. There is an option to repone but nothing ever happens.

    Maybe Pages06 can't handle newr Word versions?

  • When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

    Are the images placed in a table? Many Word user have the habit of doing that. Tables are not handles the same way in Word and Pages so they get "hidden" in Pages. One way to find this out is to change the size of the paper of the document. You do that in the Page setup in the file menu. Create a document that is much longer that the default one and see if you images will pp up.

  • Word doc to Pages to Word doc conversion problems

    I imported a word doc into pages on my iphone.
    I edited the document on my phone, then exported it back to word format, emailed it to myself and opened it on my macbook in word again.
    Now there are some weird spell check errors happening (eg it doesn't like the word 'you' and suggests all kind of rubbish) and the formatting of the apostrophes is all wrong.
    Is there a quick fix for this? My document is 102,000 words long, I don't like the idea of having to redo the apostrophes one by one...

    I'd recommend you use Word for Mac for such stuff.
    Before buying that, you could try the free Open/LibreOffice and see if the result is satisfactory.
    If you already have Pages on your machine, just do File > Open and see how it looks and works.

  • Convert Microsoft Word docs to Pages?

    I love Pages and want to convert a bunch of Microsoft Word docs into Pages documents. The action would open the .doc file in Pages, then save it as a Pages document with the same title.
    Is there anything that would let me do this? Thanks.

    I've tried that myself, to no avail.
    Here's what I've tried - if anyone can twiddle with this to make it actually work, I too would be grateful!
    1 find finder items
    2 get specified finder items
    3 copy finder items (to save originals)
    4 launch app (pages)
    but then there's no action for creating a new file or saving-as or anything...
    thanks and peace-

  • I can't open a doc in Pages, msg says I need "newer version of Pages" but it's already downloaded and updated. Help plse

    I can't open a doc in Pages, msg says I need "newer version of Pages" but it's already downloaded and updated. Help plse

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

    I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
    I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
    I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
    I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
    Help!

    Hello Debbie,
    as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.

  • When I i port a word doc into pages it throws the format out and I cant adjust it?

    when I i port a word doc into pages it throws the format out and I cant adjust it?

    Pease don't say the "latest" that doesn't tell us anything.
    People are always getting it wrong.
    Tell us the actual version number:
    Menu > Pages > About Pages
    Can you select the footer? And what is in the footer?
    Sometimes Word has these things in separte textboxes under other things and you need to lassoo them to get rid of them.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
