Pages and Word won't save

When I went to open a microsoft word document, I got the following message "Microsfot Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Here is the data from "More Info"

I was able to open the file as a Pages Document, copied it, opened a new Pages file and pasted the information. I saved it and started to work on the paper when suddenly it crashed. When I re-opened the document none of the changes I had made were there. When I went to save it I was told I do not have permission to save anything.
I don't know what to do. This is the only computer to which I have access for the next few days and I have to finish my research papers for class! Please, I need help!

Wouldn't call "maybe" unbridled enthusiasm!
…but unlike me he knows what is going on and can get at your System.
You can certainly delete Pages 5, just by trashing the app from Applications, but I am not sure it would fix your problem.
Couldn't hurt to try so long as you can access the App Store with your Apple I.D. to download it again.

btw I was deadly serious about avoiding Pages 5 if at all possible.

Downloaded Pages today and it won't save anything. Says I need a purchased serial number which was not sent to me. What's up?

You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.. Any clues?

Hello!
I noticed yesterday that Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.
I've tried to reinstall software, but no luck.
I've done no changes to my system, other than installing updates that have been made available.
I run iWork '09 on a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010, with OSX 10.7.3.
I can view the documents in preview, but I really need them to work as they are work-related.
What to do?

Look at the threads to the right. One of them is this https://discussions.apple.com/message/13147694#13147694 and it might help you

When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
Hope it works for you.

HT5548 Why are not pages and word in launch pad in spite of them being installed on my I mac and showing in the dock?

Why are pages and word not in launch pad in spite of both apps being installed on my I mac and showing in the dock?

Hi wjosten,
Yes, I have checked the app folder and there is no imovie in there, there is also nothing in the trash.
I have also checked the HD for imovie and it seems as though it's just gone?
Thanks for your help, if you have any other suggestions I would really appreciate them.

Working with Pages and Word-questions!

NOTE: Sorry for the similarity of this to my post a few minutes ago titled "Which do I use, Pages or Word)? I learned some things through experimentation and have created subtler and more challenging questions for you.
Help me out here (please). I am now working with Pages, sharing documents with dozens of behind the times colleagues who are using some old program called "Word." It's my job to work with these people and I'm trying to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
Do I have this right? When I create a document (or open an old Word document into pages), in order to be able to share it with people, I save it, and check the box to save a copy in Word format. Then when I send my documents, it works like a charm. Yes?
If I start by opening a Word document, and every time I save I check "save copy to Word," I end up with only one document, no version in Pages. If I start with a Pages document, or save without checking the box, I end up with two separate versions of the document (like when I create a pdf)? It appears that if I I want to keep working in the Word format, every time I save it will give me a dialog box and make me check the box (and possibly select my location). This is cumbersome since I am now in the habit of saving often (you learn that when you work with Word for the Mac for any period of time--bomb, bomb, bomb). So, an I correct in assuming that if I want to save regularly, I really have to work in Pages, and then be scrupulous about saving into Word when I'm done for the day, or just before I send? It's sort of a pain in the butt, although I can learn to do it--I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Also, is there an autosave function so I don't have to rely on my discipline? Or does it never ever bomb?
What happens if I open the Word version and make changes to it? Do I have to do something differently to make sure I have both versions identical? Am I better off always to open the Pages document to work on, then save and send?
Do I always then have two versions of the same document (like I would if I did this same thing with pdf)?
How do I make sure that the Word version is always up to date since that is the one I am sending to colleagues? Do I always have to save and check the box, and then select the correct document to send?
I do see that when sending a single document I can easily send it while I am in the document itself. When I do this, selecting to send it as a Word document (or a pdf for that matter), will it send the version I most recently saved, or the version that is on my screen (if I forgot to save changes)?
FInally, I'd be open to any tips from people working regularly with others who must use Word. I want it to work as simply as possible, but want to set up some good habits from the beginning.
Finally, finally, have you had problems with compatibility. I have to say that there have been very few Word document yet that I've opened that I haven't gotten a message that says that Pages doesn't support some aspect of the document and formatting is removed, or spacing is different, etc. The most common is that "paragraph borders operate differently so all borders except outside borders have been removed." I'm a bit nervous about this--will I be getting documents from others that I can't trust? Will I have to ask them to send a pdf as well so I can confirm that I got it right? Can anyone ease my mind? Or am I living in reality?
Thanks a million!

Well yes they are not the same program so there will be differences.
For example Pages only allows a border all the way around a paragraph with few options on the style of line, which is why you got the warning.
A workflow would consist of you doing your work in Pages however you like it and when you have finished and saved, making a Word copy which you despatch to your colleagues and then throw away.
Of course this is more cumbersome than sticking with MsWord which is another option. You choose. It comes down to whether or not you have to tightly conform and interact with Word users. Maybe Pages is not for you, or even NeoOfffice which is a clone of MsOffice.
Test it. If it works and you like it stick with whatever solution works for you.

How do I make an uploaded document like an order form work in pages and how do I save it to a bookmark

How do I make an uploaded document like an order form work in pages and how do i bookmark it for later use

Pages can work with Word documents. It can save the results as either PFd or Word documents.

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

Transfering docs between pages and word

I recently purchased a macbook air to finish writing a manuscript that I had been writing in word on my macbook pro.
It was automatically transferred into pages and now I can't get it back into word.
Help!

Pages is not a MS Word clone, and does not work in the native .docx document format. Rather, it translates an opened Word document into the Pages document architecture. You are not guaranteed that this translation process, also used for export back to Word, will be accurate, or match the original Word content.
If I recall, Microsoft relaxed their licensing, and you are allowed to install Office for Mac 2011 on up to five computers that you own. If it were me, I would work on that original MS Word .docx document exclusively in MS Word to avoid any unplanned Pages content anomalies that cost you time.

Pages and numbers won't open

whenever i try to use pages or numbers nothing happens, i can't get them to open.

There are new versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- you probably need to upgrade them first? Let me know whether this works, I didn't upgrade to Yosemite yet, and I won't if Keynote doesn't work...

I installed snow leopard on my mac mini and word won't open?

I have my i cloud on my ipad, iPhone and Mac pro book but my two apps I downloaded pages and numbers won't connect to my ipad and iPhone. How do I get theses apps on ipad and iPhone?

How do I get pages and numbers on my iPhone and ipad after it was downloaded on my Mac book pro?

Pages and Numbers on a Mac are Mac Apps and are downloaded from the Mac App Store. iOS devices use a completely different operating system and the version of Pages and Numbers for that are quite different programming - you can't move Mac applications to an iOS device. The programs will have to be download from the App Store on your devices, and you have to buy them separately from the Mac versions.

Changing default application for Pages and Word docs?

I wasn't sure if this was the right place to ask this...
I just got a new computer, running Tiger. I own older copies of Word (which I hate) and iWork (which I love). When I copied my data to my new computer, all my documents defaulted to opening in the new versions of those programs. Furthermore, it won't let me change the program that opens those type of documents.
I open the information on a document, tell it to open in Pages 1.0, and that works fine. But if I try to tell it to "Change All", it just reverts to Pages 2.0. The exact same thing happens when I try to tell Word docs to open in my old version of Word, or with Keynote. I can open my files just fine within the program, but it's getting really, really irritating not to be able to open documents by double clicking.
Any advice? I can't afford to buy the new programs, even if I wanted them (which I don't, in the case of Word).
