Pages io7 in track change mode: hangs?

Hello,
Using the latest version of Pages io7, I encounter regular freezes: in track change mode, whenever I select a word, the normal selection feature appears (the word gets blue) and the app hangs/freezes for a few seconds before being able to do anything: type a letter, delete the selection or widen the selection.
Thanks for help!
Pierre

I have this problem too and not just when tracking changes. Pretty much any time selecting words and trying to modify the selection is incredibly slow. Fully exiting and restarting the application sometimes seems to help, but really that's not a fix. Have tried all Apple technical help suggestions, including reset and removing/reinstalling pages. Only thing left is completely wiping the iPad and starting from scratch, and I don't have time to do that at the moment (I use the iPad for work.)

Pages files with Track Changes activated can't be zipped!

Hi - I'm collaborating on a document with someone remotely and this feature "Track Changes" is useful for our collaboration.
Its strange, but I can't zip a document that has changes yet to be approved. Is this a bug?

It may be helpful to Press Shift during startup
which
start up in Safe Boot mode and temporarily disable login items and non-essential kernel extension files .
Several times, R C-R wrote that this helped him to recover a correct behavior.
CAUTION: a normal boot is required after this "Safe" one before usinf iWork's components.

Unable to email Pages 5.0 doc with track changes

In Safari, when trying to attach a Pages doc (Pages 5.0 in Mavericks) with track changes in gmail I get an "Attachment failed" error. In Chrome, I'm able to attach and send the file, but the person I've sent it to is unable to open it. Is anyone experiencing anything similar and/or has discovered a fix?
Thanks!

No, they get an error when they try to open it, and they do have the same version of Pages. Yes, I did end up having to export it as a temporary solution, and I don't think the track changes stayed. I was wondering if not being able to send Pages files with track changes is a common issue with Pages 5.0. If you try emailing a Pages 5.0 file with track changes, are the recipients able to open it with track changes in Pages?

MacBook Air + Microsoft Word + Track Changes = nightmare

I work part-time as an editor. I use Microsoft Word on my MacBook Air and while I love my Mac for a million other things, it absolutely ***** when it comes to using Microsoft Word in Track Changes mode. After just a little editing, the program crashes. It's constant, it's regular, and it's a total nightmare. How can I best get around this problem without having to use a PC to do my editing?

I'd recommend reinstalling Office, then. I use Word of Mac '11 (same version) without any issues working with track changes. I will say that it can sometimes be a bit sluggish (the application) as the document ages and the amount of changes that occur but never once has the application locked up entirely, crashed or quit on me.

Inability to view track changes on word documents sent to me

In Pages, I have tracking changes ON and view Comments but I am unable to view track changes in documents sent to me via Word. HELP please

Review Track Changes Author

When working on a document in Track Changes mode and wanting to add further changes , Word is stating that I am the 'author' which is incorrect. I write or change something and it comes up as blue and with my name which is correct, however as soon as I
save this it then changes back to 'author' and red. making all changes by all users the same. Please help as we need the old way of reviewing, ie. different colours and different names issues to changes. All settings are correct for user name etc.

What you describe suggests that someone has run the Document Inspector on the document and selected the option to remove personal information. Once this has been done, reviewer names will be removed each time you reopen the document. To prevent this from
happening, clear "Remove personal information from file properties on save"; assuming that you are using Word 2010 or 2013, you'll find the option at File tab | Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options.

How do you copy and paste track changes material in Pages from one point in a document to another and keep both the old text along with the track changed thus far in the new pasted location?

Depending on whether track changes is on/paused, Pages thinks the pasted material is either all new and thus highlights it as a big track change or just copies the old material along with the edits as plain text so that I cannot see my track changes. I need to be able to copy and paste in the same document and still be able to see the older text along with the changes to certain sections thus far. Is this possible? I need a step-by-step "talk to me like I'm five" instructional if what I would like can be done.
Thanks for any help!

What version of Pages?
What OS, iOS or OSX?
Are you sure you have the Table selected and not a cell or just contents?

How do I change the font color for track changes in pages?

I am using the "track changes" function to edit a document in pages, and would like to change the edited text from pale yellow green to a color I can actually see. How do I do this?

Hello Zoolie,
That is an easy thing to do. Go to the drop down menu View > Comments and Changes > Author Color and then just select the color that you want and you will be good to go. Take a look at the article below for more information if needed.

Track changes causing #of pages in document to fluctuate wildly

Hello! I'm running Pages 5.5.2 on an almost-brand-new Macbook Pro running OS 10.10.1.
I've been working on a document for a long time with no problems (well, a bit of that lovely pages-5-lag), and tracking changes and converting to word and sending it off and getting it back and so on.
Just recently, it's freaked out. If I keep track changes on (it's got 100+ changes and comments, but nothing too crazy) the document only displays 4 pages (of 18). If I edit something or scroll down, more pages appear and then disappear again within a second, first dropping down to just the first 2 pages and then settling back to the first 4. If I turn track changes off (and accept/reject all changes) the problem stops.
It's making it impossible to work. Any advice would be hugely, massively appreciated.
Cheers
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Pages is not a Word Clone. Exporting and importing between Pages and Word will build up glitches. If you are working with a Word user, it is best that you use Word for Mac or or a free look-alike such as LibreOffice.

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
" Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
• PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
• Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
• RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
• Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported.Â ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

How do I get pages to track changes in tables

I downloaded he new pages for iPad and edited a word document. I switched track changes on but it did not track any changes I made in the tables on the text outside of tables. How can I resolve this?

In the new version of Pages, how do I print with comments and tracked changes?

I am using the new version of Pages, and am trying to print (either in hard copy or to a PDF) a document to which I have added comments and made tracked changes. I would like the printed (or PDF) version of the document to show the comments and tracked changes. Does anyone know whether this is possible, and, if so, how to do this?

Try the File > Export to command. One of the formats is txt (plain text) so it might not be what you're looking for.

Still no "track changes" in Pages?

I'm seriously considering switching to Mac and would like to leave MS completely behind. So I'm doing my research on potential problems I will encounter.
As I understand it, "track changes" is not available in Pages. Is this correct? I really need this functionality for working with someone who translates my documents into another language.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Ron
Pages 2 has a comment feature, allowing you to attach notes to text. Most home/educational/small office users (the target audience for Pages) probably doesn't need more than that.
