Pages compatible with word?

hi. I'm just wondering if pages is compatible with word. Example- if I type a document on a PC in word, save it to a flash drive, and then plug the flash drive into my macbook at home, can I open the document seamlessly in pages? A while ago, I tried typing a document in the mac version of word, and then opened it on a PC with word, and I got either strange symbols instead of letters or an underscore between every letter in the document. Will this happen between word and pages?

You cannot open it seamlessly in the sense that you just open it, make some modifications, save it, make some more modifications, save it again and then bring it back to the PC. To bring it back to the PC you have to go through a number of dialog steps and give the file a new name.
However, the import of Word documents to Pages works fine for almost all documents, and the export it decent.
You will most probably not encounter the problems you describe above, if the Word documents come from a PC with Office XP, Office 2000 or Office 2003.

Making The Weblogic Portal Pages compatible with Mobile Browsers

Hi All,
Is there any option available to make Weblogic Portal Pages compatible with Mobile Browsers & IPad Browsers.
Thanks,
Venkat sarvabatla

Welcome to Apple Discussions
No, you don't need Office installed. That's the whole idea. Go to File > Export & choose Word (or text, rtf or pdf). The option to "save as" Word has been added in Pages 4/iWork '09 as well as in export.

As Jon says, please be more specific about "don't line up right"
I notice you are inserting some arbitrary tags which will cause very unpredictable displays with varying user viewports and text preferences.

Pages and key note not compatible with word and powerpoint

Dear members
I have received valuable help here, but still pages does not open word documents, I am having problems because I am the only person in my organisation who uses Mac! All the documents are in word format. Yvan kindly helped me and told me to use some tests. I wonder what kind of tests are, I spoke with Apple care, they spent 40 min on the phone doing the following after explaining:
I have a new Mac pro laptop which came as a replacement because the first one had a problem with bluetooh.
The previous Mac pro could open word and powerpoint using pages and key note
When I received the new mac pro I passed the information to the previous one to this one using time machine
I noticed immediately that the new mac pro could not open word using pages
After this I have received snow leopard , installed it , the problem remains
I explained this to the technician on the phone
Then:
put caches on desktop
updated the snow leopard to 10.6.1
created a file and saved as a word file using pages, but pages still not open the same doc created by it
The technician tried to contact a senior member and I was left waiting for 20 min to speak with a senior and never happened, I called again and they did the same
Of course that there is something wrong with my system because the previous faulty mac could open word and powerpoint
Any ideas?
Best Regards
Omar

I love iWork, but honestly, if I were the only one in an organization to use a Mac, I would get NeoOffice or Open Office, which are intended to be directly compatible with their Microsoft equivalents. Or, you know, buy MS Office for the Mac.

How to share pages template with word users?

I made a pages template with placeholder text and need word users to fill in the placeholders, how do I save this template to share it with word users?

Thank you for your quick response!
The template has colored shapes, therefore upon export it changes the formatting and nothing lines up-of course!
When I export it and open it in on my old macbook(OSX10.6.8) in word for mac 2004 it opens as a document not a template. The export is as a document, not a template, maybe it is not possible-ugh!

Is BIP ver 11.1.1.5.0 compatible with Word 2003

I am developing BI Pub forms for E1 on a E910 and tools 9.1.0.4 release. The work PC I am using for the BIP forms has Word 2003 loaded. When editing the Word rtf template the fields will flicker and it often hangs when Starting .Net runtime. If it hangs I end Word. Sometimes it hangs during the flickering issue. It is very annoying. As a work around I bring the Word and xml to my personal PC, make the changes and bring back to the work environment. This seems to be okay but is very time consuming.
I have looked for recommended tech specs as to whether Word 2003 is compatible with BIP ver 11.1.1.5.0 but I haven't found anything. Is there any documentation on this? Does any one have any suggestions as to how to solve the issue if it isn't a compatibility problem. Thanks

Making the Webcenter ADF pages compatible with Mobile browser

Hi,
I'm trying to make the already developed ADF pages compatible to Mobile Browser (like blackberry etc).
I have tried with the way what oracle ADF specification says like have to create a Fusion proj then have to add a new project into that and develope the mobile browser pages. In this way, it is working absolutely fine. But the problem is, i have already developed an application which uses lot of web center stuff and we have created so many pages in the application. Making this pages compatible to Mobile browser will take hell of effort.
Is there anyway that these pages can be made compatible to mobile browser (like blackberry etc).
Suggestions and Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wiebke,
You need to change the property Supported User Agents for all objects you need to access with MS Mobile IE. The procedure is the same as enabling your portal to be indexed by Web Search Engines for external facing portals, which is described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/44/ccf6bf687f3b9ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm.
This will technically allow all browsers to access the portal. Note that SAP does not support them, and especially in the case of mobile browsers, you may have issues regarding screen size and scripts (maybe fix this by creating a custom framework page+custom navigation iviews?).

Johan

HT1338 is Pages compatible with OS X 10.7.5

Is Pages compitible with OS X 10.7.5? If not, is there another word processing app that is similar that does work with this OS?

Which version of Pages do you have? Mine is 4.3 (part of iWork 09) and works well with both Lion (10.7) and Mountain lion (10.8).

The App "pages" not compatible with Word Docs?

I have purchase the App Pages and seemed to be having lots of problems. I cannot open files without it being Read Only. My instructor sends me assignements through his PC and I cannot open it to copy it. I am transcribing his email to a Pages Doc. When I am saving it...it saves under a pages doc that no one can open. I have tried saving it with the .doc or .docx at the end and get the same problem. Is this the wrong program to use or am I missing something...

Making a Pages document compatible with Word and Full-screen view

Hi there! I would like to know if it is necessary to have Microsoft Office installed on my computer in order to be able to save a Pages document as "Microsoft Word" compatible. As of now, when I select the "Save As" option, I'm only able to save my document as a iWork 06 and 05 file. Also, I've noticed that on the video tutorials online, there is a "full-screen" mode and I was wondering if it was available on iWork 08, or if it is only for iWork 09. Thank, and sorry if these questions have been answered before!

Global error page - compatible with partial page rendering

My global error page doesn't show in some isolated cases. Could this be because of partial page rendering? What changes might be needed to have it work in all cases?
I have created a global error page and set it in the web.xml with:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
<location>pages/htmlErrorPage.html</location>
</error-page>
This displays the htmlErrorPage when errors occur in nearly all my tested cases. However, when the test error is created inside one page redraw I find that the application dies without ever displaying my error page. On the console I get an error message that starts with:
Jun 13, 2008 12:54:11 PM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.core.xhtml.PanelPartialRootRenderer encodeAll
SEVERE: Error during partial-page rendering
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: javax.faces.FacesException: javax.faces.FacesException: Can't instantiate class: 'com.softrek.adf.view.managed.JFreeChartPlotter'.. class com.softrek.adf.view.managed.JFreeChartPlotter : java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.faces.el.ValueBindingImpl.getValue(ValueBindingImpl.java:190)
at com.sun.faces.el.ValueBindingImpl.getValue(ValueBindingImpl.java:143)
But my error page doesn' t show up. I've used the identical test error in most other parts of my application and it shows - so other than the partial page rendering going on, I can't see why this case would be different.
Is there any known bug (or feature) about the use of an error page during partial page rendering?
Any ideas will be welcome.

I'm unclear on how I would get the error to redirect.
I've changed my web.xml to go to a servlet of my creation, set up the mapping and all.
It works fine for exceptions generated in a backing bean normally.
When the exception occurs as part of partial page rendering the error servlet is not called and the user's session dies.
This is being done in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3
The new web.xml contains:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
<location>/servlet/errorAction</location>
</error-page>
Which is working for errors generated under most circumstances but not when they are inside my partial page change.
How do I get errors to go to my error page when the error occurred during PPR?
PS. Using the PartialPageUtils.isPartialRequest() method generated a recursive error in my error servlet. This looks like the known limitation for Faces error handling.

How do I get access to my microsoft word, excel etc? Is lion not compatible with word, if so it you be mentioned prior to someone purchasing.

Have installed Lion, but Lion says it will not support microsoft office programs words. Is this a major glitch with Lion? I cannot believe Apple would create a operation system not conducive to running word, excell etc.!!! Anyone know what the fix is?

There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.

Pages Compatible With iPad

Will I be able to use my wi-fi apple keyboard to type into the iPad version of pages? If so then I'm in.

G,
Quoting the Apple site:
+There are lots of great accessories specifically designed for iPad. The Keyboard Dock, for instance, combines a dock with a full-size keyboard. There’s also a standalone Dock. And because iPad has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, it works with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, too.+

Should I purchase Pages or stick with Word?

I've been using Word for years and the new one for Mac was fantastic! But, my computer was tragically stolen and my Office with it and Pages is less expensive... But I really want to make sure I'll be able to edit my documents in the same way (or better) as I am currently writing my master's thesis and am obsessed by good format and presentation.
If I buy the Pages app for my MacBook, will I be able to upload in iCloud easily or is it necessary to buy the complete iLife? And will I be able to see the docs on my iPod or will I have to buy the other Pages app for iPod? Is Pages compatible with Word without making the format go all weird?
Thanks!!!

Pages is one of the applications in the iWork suite, not iLife.
You do not have to buy all three of the iWork apps, just the ones you need. You buy the Mac versions through the Mac App Store & the iOS versions separately through the iTunes Store.
With iCloud support enabled in Pages for iOS you will be able to access the documents you upload to iCloud from your Mac. Apple has not enabled automatic iCloud syncing for the Mac versions so you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or sync via iTunes.
