Pages looses header when opening word document

Whenever opening a doc or docx file with pages version 5 I loose few fonts (not a problem), header and any watermark. The previous pages version work better on this matter.

Then use the previous Pages, it should be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Pages '09 won't open Word documents since installing Lion

    Since installing Lion I can no longer open Word documents. I get the following window
    My intel iMac is just a year old and all software is current, both Lion and Pages.  If I transfer the word documents to my 4 year old Macbook running the same Pages and Snow Leopard the files open as they should.  Can anyone suggest a solution.  I would be very grateful.  Thanks.

    That's what I have done, but then I am a long term Apple user and wised up years ago.

    That does sound like you are simply double clicking on the exported .doc file which will open Word.

    I installed Lion on an external Hard Drive so I could still get my work done in Snow Leopard.

  • Duplicated styles when opening Word document: Heading 1 A, Heading 1 AA,etc

    I'm trying to get rid of Word and all the Windows in my office.
    But when I import a Word document into Pages, it will duplicate the Styles. Heading 1 becomes Heading 1 AND Heading 1 A.
    If I happen to export the Pages document to Word and back to Pages, then Heading 1 AA will appear (and I suppose that each time another one would appear: AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, until the style drawer explodes or something).
    The problem is that styles act funny when this happens (character sizes are not correctly applied, for instance) and it is not acceptable in an office environment.
    But maybe there is a simple solution to this.
    If you have any ideas why this happens please help. This happens with docs created originally in Word and also with a new document created from Pages too.
    Thanks!

    Peter, as you mentioned it I went to check Bean out, but it is not a full replacement for Word, which is what we are looking for. Looks interesting as a light editor, though. Thanks.
    I discovered how to get rid of the A ... AA styles simply by deleting them, Pages asks which style to use as a replacement, so I can manually fix the duplication, but it is impossible to do this every time and for every style (we have documents with dozens of styles). Moreover it is a productivity killer.
    Again, I suspect I'm not the only person in the world with this. It happens every time for every conversion (even if I create a new Pages document from a blank template). Is there a way to avoid this?
    Thanks!

  • Issue when opening word document where it doesnt show the template part of the word document

    I have a user who when she opens a document that should have a letter head template load in the background the template doesnt show, using another profile on the same machine the template does open, the view can be replicated from the working profile by
    selecting page layout/Margins/custom Margins/layout and unticking the different first page box. this setting is correct on the affected profile. I have recreated the users profile but still get the same issue, this issue is affecting all documents the user
    opens, is there a setting i am missing? I have also tried resetting word in the registry but this also has had no effect.

    Hi,
    Could you tell me what version of Word are you using?
    Templates (including Normal.dot) are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.
    It’s possible that normal.dot file under your profile is corrupted. You can copy the normal.dot file under the normal profile to your store path.
    If there is anything else that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • OLE error when opening word document

    Hi,
    I have a form that allows update of word documents stored in blob fields in the database.
    The form works fine. except that if I open and update a document that has a footer and then save the document back into the database without the footer, it is no longer possible to open it.
    Can anyone help?
    Sometimes I get FRM 40922 : An OLE error occurred 0x80004005
    Otherwise when I click on the icon nothing happens.
    Thank you
    Michael

    I can avoid this problem by leaving the footer and returning to the main document view before saving the document.

  • Pages & Numbers crashes when opening a document ,no documents found when iCloud is turned off

    I have just upgraded my iPad to IOS7 and my MacBook Pro to mavericks running the latest iTunes and also update pages and numbers.both crash when old documents are opened and the programs will only function if iCloud is switched off in settings but only when creating new documents .I have upgraded for more storage space and have 6GB free, many of my documents are invoices and are now unavailable to me so the situation is becoming quite desperate.
    Any help would be useful .

    Hi Amy
    Welcome to the forum.
    There are a few bugs in Snow Leopard.
    You need to upgrade using the downloadable Combo OSX 10.6.2 upgrade.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html
    Do not upgrade using Software upgrade.
    The principle cause is a damaged Hoeffler Text font.

  • Word 2010 - Network is Busy. Try again later shows randomly when opening Word document

    Hi All,
    Here's my dilemma, I have a single user who when they attempt to open a word/excel document get the error message, "Network Busy. Try again later". The file is opend from the Network via Samba but this does not happen all the time but randomly,
    and this is the only user who is experiencing this behaviour, which is leading me to believe it is their PC/office. There doesn't appear to be any performance issue on the PC or network delays to cause this. I haven't found any workable suggestions, so help
    would be grateful.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    First, make sure that Office and Windows are completely up-to-date. Does this issue exist when document is saved to local disk?
    I find a similar issue like your question and post it here. You can follow suggestion to check if it’s helpful.
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Q_25071647.html
    Here is some useful information:
    “Worth a try, but unless there is something wrong with the AD server, or the file server is having problems with AD connection issues (both of which would cause more serious errors), that is not likely the issue.
    To explain: the AD server issues a "ticket" to the file server and the client... the "ticket" has an expiration date (usually 24-hours) which is the maximum "duration" of that TCP connection. If the TCP connection is lost, a
    new ticket is supposed to be obtained. So, with a mapped drive, the connection remains open and the "ticket" is allowed to expire, at which point the client is supposed to automatically re-connect -- thus, getting another 24-hour ticket.
    Now I am assuming that you restarted the client system after changing the registry value.... that setting is read during network startup, so just changing it would have had no effect until restarted.”

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

  • Setting Pages '08 as my default program to open word documents

    I need to figure out how to make Pages the default software for opening Word documents. Right now when I go to open them I have to move them from my email to my desktop and then open Pages and say open an existing document. Is there anyway to set it so that I can just click on the document and it automatically knows to open in Pages?
    Thanks

    Velmy,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You can set .doc files to open in Pages, and it’'s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’’'s not in the menu). To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button. Now, when you double-click on one of these files, it will open in Pages.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

    I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
    app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
    When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
    If I disable editing I got this message:
    I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    This forum is for developers discussing issues about

    Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
    Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
    Office

  • Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

    Hi Guys,
    We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
    I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues. 
    Below is some of the steps i have taken
    - Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
    - Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem 
    Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

    Hi,
    This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
    the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
    the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
    To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
    an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
    As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser. 
    Please try the following methods:
    An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
    Client approaches that can reduce the impact
    Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable
    For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

  • Pages '08 will not open .doc documents after upgrading to Mavericks

    Since updating to Mavericks Pages '08 will not open .doc documents even when created with Pages.

    I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.

    You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
    Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?

  • Opening word documents

    I was told when I purchased iWork last week that I would be able to open word documents that were sent to me via email. How can I do that?

    maralyala,
    Note that Dennis' solution will result in ALL Word files opening in Pages, as he says.
    If you only want to open the occasional Word files in Pages, right-click or command-click on the file and choose "Open With" from the contextual menu that pops up next to the document. Select Pages.app from the list. If Pages.app is not on the list, click on 'Other' and scroll to Pages.app in your Applications folder.
    You can do this on the icon of the Word file that appears in your email or after saving the Word file to your Mac.
    Good luck,
    Terry
