Pages makes my text bold when I export to word

I need to export a pages document to word and the text in this document is not bold but when I export to word it makes my whole text bold. it's driving me crazy and I've been trying for an hour now. Can someone please help me? What should I do to have a normal text in my word document. I don't want it to be bold!

Last Fall, Apple released Pages v5. I tend to shorthand, and refer to this version and its subsequent minor revisions, as Pages v5+. Currently, it is at v5.2.2. Prior to Pages v5, Apple offered Pages ’09 v4.3, a more capable word processor.
If you are making a CV for upload to job sites, they may restrict the size of your document to about 100 Kilobytes. The minimum Word export size in Pages v5 will be around 500 Kilobytes, while the older Pages v4.3 would do this in 10 - 30 Kilobytes. Another characteristic of Pages v5 is its tendency to make exported Word document text darker than good taste would dictate.
In Pages v5, with the side Format panel set to Text and Style, click the globe adjacent to the text color well. Once the color chooser is open, select the second color panel from the toolbar. See images below. By default, Pages v5 has brightness set to zero, or really black text. I suggest you set this to 21%, and see if this produces more tasteful black text on export. You would need to select any text in your Pages document for this to take effect.

  • Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf

    Borders in Pages for Mac look blurry when I export to pdf. How can I make a pdf or JPEG retain the sharp edges and smooth shadows when I export?

    The ColorSync filters control the conversion between color spaces of files on the Mac and are used when you export or print to pdf.
    The ColorSync Utility is inside the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.
    see Alternate ColorSync PDF filters.

    Hi Jon,
    Try placing your curser in the middle and click on that page a few times. Often this will make it available for editing.
    Let me know if that works!

  • How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

    How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

    You can do that by editing the template of the document.
    Open the document, go to Edit->Template. A dialog will launch which will have element types on the left and it's properties on the right.
    Select Scene Heading(or Character name) on the left. On the right, go to 'Text' tab and click on Bold checkbox.
    Press OK.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Script to make the text bold or italic

    I saw someone suggested the following code to meet the need:
    var app = new Illustrator.Application();
    var doc = app.ActiveDocument;
    var bold = doc.CharacterStyles["Bold"];
    var italic = doc.CharacterStyles["Italics"];
    var frame = doc.TextFrames[0];
    bold.ApplyTo(frame);
    italic.ApplyTo(frame);
    But it does work in my case since "doc.CharacterStyles["Bold"];" and "doc.CharacterStyles["Italics"]" declare an error message of "No such element". Is there another way that I can try to make the text bold or italic?

  • How to make the text bold in tablix

    Hi All,
    In a SSRS report I have one table
    one of the field value is like "MLA 2008 : Bandeppa Khashemp JDS " ,"MLA 2013 : Ashok Kheny KMP".
    My requirement is to display the value like "MLA 2008 : BANDEPPA
    KASHEMPUR JDS" ," MLA 2013 : ASHOK KHENY KMP
    Can anyone help me on this
    Thanks in Advance...
    Krishna.N

    If you can modify the field value, you can set it to "<b>MLA 2006 :</b> BANDEPPA ..." and then set the placeholder/textbox Markup Type to HTML.
    If you always have a fixed number of characters that will be bold, you can have a placeholder with the expression for example:
    =Left( Fields!MyValue.Value, 10 )
    and make that placeholder bold. Then have another placeholder to display the rest of the text.
    As a 3rd option, you can perhaps make a VB.net function in the report code, that takes the value and adds the <b> html tags to it based on some logic, but you need to determine yourself how and where to place the tags.

  • Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

    When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
    I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

    You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • How do I make my text centered when making a site have responsive design?

    My text can be responsive with screen size in the font automatically adjusting its size when you make the window different sizes and everythng flows nicely. The only problem is that no matter what size the window is, the window only shows a corner of the website, having part of the website cut off, making the viewer scroll right horizontally to read the rest of the text. I am new to responsive design. (I am a college student that haven't taken web design since last year, just to note).
    I try to change the padding and margin of where I have my text yet nothing changes and I still have the same problem.
    Below is the CSS style for where I have my text located:
    .textboxinfo {
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
        right: auto;
        margin-left: 260px;
        margin-right:300px;
        float: left;
        padding: 15px;
        color: #333;
        padding-right: 500px;
    Am I looking in the right spot?

    You cant have a box width set to 100% and left and right margins set as well as that makes the box wider than 100% which means it's wider than the browser width;
    What happens when you remove - margin-left: 260px; and margin-right:300px; from the css selector below?
    So you are just left with:
    .textboxinfo {
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
        width: 100%;
        float: left;
        padding: 15px;
        color: #333;

  • How do you make the volume louder when you export music from garageband?

    Hey everytime I export my music from garageband the volume seems to die down.. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

    There's two things that are being called "volume": one is the output level of your audio file. Go to GB's preferences and see if the auto-normalize function is checked - if yes, it will automatically adjust the master volume so the maximum level of your output file is 0 dB. If you uncheck it, you can crank up your volume more, but your audio might clip in some places.
    The other thing is loudness – audio files with the same peak level have a very different perceivable loudness. That is a question of mastering, i.e. applying compressors and limiters to make the sound more "dense". But that's a whole different story.

    Before we go any further, I would like to say that there is no Word 2012 version released before for Microsoft official site.
    If the Word document could still be opened by other machine except for Word 20XX in the
    specific machine, that means the data file itself is fine. But Word 20XX application mighe be corrupted. Repair it and then check the result.
