Pages '09 to Word doc, maintaining graphics in 'letterhead'.

I have Pages '09 (version 4.2) and when I place 'letterhead' graphics into the Pages document and then save as a Word doc for clients to use as letterheads (to print as needed), the graphics in the Word doc come out in low res.  I have tried saving the Pages document several ways, but they all come out low-res in Word.  I need to be able to provide my non-graphic clients with a Word template of their newly designed letterhead.  Help please!

Just a word of warning
Depending on the version, MsWord may not play nice with .pdfs, something Microsft deliberately did to keep PC users away from a competing file format.
If that happens try using a high resolution .tif file which is a more established Windows method.

  • Open pages with a word doc

    I would like Pages to open as my defalt WP App when I click on a word doc. Is there a way to set my system to do that?

    Select a Word document. Press Command-I. Under "Open With" use the pull down menu to select "Pages". Click on "Change All".
    This should do it though I have not tried it.

  • Pages and Windows Word docs

    Does anyone know if you can open Word docs created on a Windows machine in Pages for iPad if you receive them via email? I have tried this with Word docs created in Office 2003 and can't get it to work. The Pages documentation says it supports Word, but I'm starting to wonder if somehow it only supports Word files created on a Mac? Or is it just that it doesn't support older versions of Word like Office 2003? Thanks much.

    I've opened Word files created with Office 2008. I'm pretty certain I've opened files made with Win versions 2003 and 2007 (I went crazy testing the first week and naturally I didn't write down everything I did. Now I'm going back and doing some testing over ) What version are you using?

  • Pages export corrupts word doc how can I fix this glitch?

    In Pages, when I Share and Export the Pages doc to a Word doc and open the Word doc it is corrupted - showing up copy from an older document. The same copy shows up every time. It looks faded out on each page and the actual copy from the Pages document shows up. This happens every time I export to Word and open the Word doc. Does anyone know how to fix this glitch?

    A glitch I haven't heard about before. Are you sure that you are not opening the old doc every time and have saved the new some where else on the computer?

  • Adding a web page to a word doc...

    Hello,
    This may be a stupid question, but I am new (ish) to the glorious world of Apple Mac...
    I am trying to add a web window/page to a word document, but have no idea how to do it using Safari/on my Mac.
    Does anyone have any idea of how to do this... please?
    Thanks very much...
    B.

    Well, you've posted in the Safari for Windows forum, so that's a mistake you want to avoid in the future if you want your topic to get better attention.
    But, you can't add web pages to Word documents. There are two other options you have:
    1. Create a hyperlink to the web page in the Word document (this works best if you know that page is going to be there for awhile).
    2. Take a screen shot of the web page or relevant portion and paste that into the Word document in a compatible format (.jpg, probably).
    3. Save the page as a PDF document and send it along with the Word document.
    Which of these is your preference?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro PDF is not retaining original page settings from Word doc

    The document I am trying to put into PDF format (from Word 2000, using Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version)) drops my original Word page settings (5.5" x 8.5") and defaults to 8.5" x 11" in the PDF.  Using "Crop Pages" does not remedy the situation - the doc just stays at the larger size in Acrobat/PDF. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

    Change the paper size in the printer properties before creating the PDF. This is the same as putting the proper paper in a physical printer.

  • Do you know how to convert form pdf to pages then to word doc?

    Hello Everyone I use pages #Iwork #Mac so basically I have a pdf document with contains equations which I have to transcribe to a word document. But I don't know how to get started for adding these equations.. I will thank you so much http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/163/screenshot20130420at658.png
    Please help me I am new with mac
    I scanned this document frome of a page of papaer and I have to trascribe to a word document but actually I don't how to do that.

    There’s a easy and free way, just go to docs.google.com, click the upload button to upload your pdf file. Remember to check the option "Convert text from PDF or image files to Google Docs documents " before you click the “start upload” button. After the upload is done you can find the converted file on your Google Docs, now copy the texts to an empty word file, done! With this method you can also convert pdf to ppt if you copy the converted tsts to your empty ppt file. Or you can simply use a PDF to word converter, Adobe has a professional software that can do that but I can't think of the name right now.

  • Exporting document in Pages to a Word doc is messing things up!!

    Hi,
    Since I bought my Macbook I decided to step over to Pages instead of buying Word. I am starting to regret this now. I just created a new document in Pages, my cv. And as soon as I export this into a Word document the lay out has changed a bit. The lines or tabs do not appear nicely underneath each other but moved. I was told that if I used Pages and I need to send a doc to someone with Word that by exporting it, nothing would be changed in the document itself. But now I noticed that it does effect the original doc. What did I do wrong with saving and exporting? Or was I better of with buying Word in the first place? Thanks!

    That is definitely not true. All exported Word documents have at least some differences against the original Pages document. There may be small shifts in the interpretation of font heights or pictures and page numbers that move around.
    For simple documents this is rarely a problem. For more complicated it often is. If layout is important, you should always verify the layout using some other Word document reader like NeoOffice or indeed MS Office.
    For a CV, I would imagine that you do not want the reader to be able to change it. Unless that is the case, export the document to PDF instead. PDF files retain layout much better than Word documents.

  • Pages App only displays first page of MS Word .doc & .docx files

    Hello all,
    There may be a thread out there to address this, but I couldn't find it. 
    I'm trying to switch to the Pages App from Microsoft Word.  All of my .doc & .docx files only display the first page's text.  Any proceeding pages show up blank.  When I show pages side by side it looks as if the second page's info is there, but shifted to the side (half off the page) and I can't seem to move them to the proper place so I can see all my work.
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?  I'd like to get as far away from Microsoft as possible. 
    Thanks!

    Folly,
    There's a bug in the Pages adaptation to the Retina Display that causes that problem, and it's not just with imported documents, but all Pages documents according to what I have read here. Search these discussions for more detail. For now, choose "Open in low resolution" in the info pane for the Pages file.

  • Use pages to transfer word doc to itunes

    I purchased the 'pages' app by apple under the impression that I would be able to transfer microsoft word documents to my ipad and edit it. However, I have not seen any option for that functionality. Can anyone help please?

    I don't have iTUnes 11.2 but I can't imagine that the file transfer part has changed. Have you looked with your device plugged in? That part, stuff specific to devices, only shows up if a device is attached and selected in the sidebar.
    Attach your device, click on the name of your device in the sidebar (may need to turn that on, it defaults to off, control B on a PC brings the sidebar back), then navigate to the apps tab that you see horizontally with all the other device specific tabs and scroll down.

  • Pages not opening word *.docs after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Just up graded to Snow Leopard and tried opening word documents in Pages and no joy! "This document ** couldn't be opened. I am running iwork09. It was all working fine previously. Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Make sure you are using the latest version. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated.
    If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Will Pages read MS-Word docs?

    HI..I am new to Mac/IWorks.  Before I finalize my purchase I want to understand if iWorks programs will read/work with my MS-Office programs (word, excel and powerpoint).  Also, if my iTunes library has been stored in a PC, will it export to a Mac?  Thanks for any and ALL help!!
    Signed
    An excited newbie!

    You'd want to check in the iTunes discussion for advice on that app. iWork (no "s") is fairly compatible with Office, and has lots to recommend it, but imports from and export to Office aren't 100% accurate, so you'll have to evaluate your particular needs. You can always use Office for Mac if necessary, or one of the free Office for mac clones.

  • Printing a document from firefox web page or Microsoft Word doc ument used to work just fine. All of a sudden I was unable to print a Word document. I can still print a web page. Any suggestions?

    I have a document from Microsoft Word that will not print. It's as if the printer is not connected when I attempt with the Word document. I have gone in and deleted any pending documents in Microsoft Word. I have restarted computer, as well as the printer. The printer does not seem to be connecting or responding to the Word program (cannot find spooler) Any suggestions?

    I have a problem similar to those posted here, with one difference. With my printers newly installed, regardless of which one is selected as the default, when I try to print from Adobe Reader I receive the error message we're talking about : "Before you can perform a print related task...."
    Here's the fun part.
    If I click OK on the message, ALL MY PRINTERS GET DELETED and, I get the windows message that "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close"! If instead of clicking OK I switch to Task Manager and end Adobe, I'm fine and can print from other programs.
    I can "reset" the problem by deleting the files in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers and C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86, restarting the machine, and deleting then reinstalling the printers (which show up again after the restart).
    BUT, if I try to print from Adobe Reader again, I get the same cycle of problems.
    I am running Windows Vista and Adobe Reader 8.1

  • Pages 09 Version 4.0.3 has stopped importing Word Docs

    Until a week or so ago Pages would import Word Docs (.doc) without a problem, it now fails giving a message "the document was created with an unsupported version of Word". As this message appears agains all .doc, created from 2001 (whatever that version was) through 2009 created in Word 7, there appears to be a real problem.
    Would best course of action be to trash the application and reinstall?

    So, there is really something odd in the shared part of the system.
    It may be that something is missing or weird in the set of shared Frameworks items :
    If it's that, the only available soluce is to re-install iWork and update it with the late updater.
    It may also be a problem with files belonging to the System itself.
    Run a tool like the free Onyx available from :
    www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
    and ask it to
    repair permissions
    clean caches.
    It may solve the problem but I can't guarantee. There are so many components in the operating system that it's difficult to guess which is the wrongdoer.

  • Working off of a word doc to IBA

    Ok I'm trying to create an IBA from a word doc. The word doc is already layed out on pages and I'm now going page for page copying any text and images into Pages in IBooks Author. I forst notice when doing this manually that the font in the word doc is garamond, I have this font on my mac Pro and it shows up in IBA but as I preview each page I do off my IPad the font is not recognized. I had this similar problem with Keynote as some fonts do not display in IPad so first I need to know
    Should I change the font to a font that is can be displayed in IPad so I do not have anything look wierd or just leave?
    Last thing, I did read that I could iport entire word docs to IBA but after attempting this a few times using different templates the results are way off. Is there a way I can do the full import of the entire word doc off a blanl template in IBA and even if I could would that give me a better result?
    Meanwhile Till I hear from someone I will continure to copy and paste each page from the word doc manually for now.
    anyone?
    RD

    You are obligated to use only the fonts that are supported by iOS/iBooks/iPad.
    The iOS supported list to choose from is the pull-down menu in the toolbar, not the main menu.
    I think it's up to you to experiment with various templates and your content - you might find it easier to change the WORD document layout and style first, once you find a template that meets your needs.
