Pages 'Word' documents can no longer be opened in LibreOffice

I used to be able to open documents created and saved as 'Word' documents in Pages with LibreOffice Writer.
This is no longer possible.
I can still open documents created with Microsoft office and saved with the .doc extension in LibreOffice Writer.
Is Pages now saving the documents in a non stanard 'Word' format?
I have the latest version on the Word App on my iPad and I am using LibreOffice Writer Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2))

No, there was no time-limiting on that feature, it should still be there. It sounds like you're having a problem with Word files no longer being associated with Pages as the default. I'm guessing that dragging a Word file onto the Pages icon on your Dock would open it... is that correct? If so, select a Word file and choose File -> Get Info. In the Open With section, change the selection to Pages and click the Change All button. (Note that this is assuming that the Word files have the appropriate .doc or .docx extension.)

HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

I have a large document which keeps repaginating and adding blank pages. I can no longer use the print preview at all. I have tried all the usual fixes. Nothing works. Can anyone help?

Is your printer selected? <br />
Is '''Print to File''' selected, where the web page is being printed to a file and not being sent to your printer?

Inserting a 2 page word document - captivate 4

Hello All,
I have created an eLearning module for a client, and they are requesting i attach or insert their Terms and Conditions of Use document to the module, which will have to be printed and signed by their users. It's a 2 page word document with a ton of information on it. Anyone have any input or ideas for me?
Linking isn't really going to be an option for me...This is something i'm going to have to embed in the module.
It looks like someone asked for help with something like this years ago and didn't get anywhere. Hope you guys can hook me up.
Thanks!

There isn't really any good way to insert a two page word document into a Captivate project to be honest. The best way would be to convert it to a PDF and have it open in a new window when the user clicks a button in Captivate.
Alternatively you could use a widget that allows you to insert a large text and use scroll bars to navigate the content. Chris Dorna create a widget like that - http://www.dorna.nl/?p=338 - but putting a two page document into this would be a disaster seen from an instructional design perspective. Also I have no clue on how to get it printed and signed.
In my view the best solution would be to break up the two pages into more accessible chunks of information over several slides. On the last slide of this text you can have the user "digitally" sign that they read and understood it and then have a widget send an email to the HR department or relevant person that would recieve the regular printed copies. Of course it would require a custom widget and also access to either PHP or ASP on the server where the content is being delivered from.

HT4623 word document doesnt want to be opened on my iphone

a word document doesnt want to be opened today on my iphone although it was opened yesterday,what to do??

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page. Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

Concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX

I have a requirement to concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX but I'm not sure if it can be done
or where to begin.
I've been able to upload/download files in APEX and generate Word docs using BI Publisher, but I can't seem to find anyway to carryout the above.
Any feedback greatly received.
Thanks in advance.
Keith

Thanks for your reply Jari.
The files are never actually stored in the database as a BLOB or CLOB.
I'm basically trying to do the following:-
I have a third party Document Management System that stores a number of templates (.doc and .dot).
The files are stored in a directory on a file sever.
I have been tasked with the job of creating a Document Generator type app in APEX that will allow the users to select a number of these files and concatenate them together into 1 large 'Master' Document.
I was hoping to be able to do this without having to go down the line of using external software functions like Java but I'll check out your suggestion.
Cheers
Keith

Sent multiple page Word document containing photos

I had a 22-page Word document containing a table with small photos of dvds on my old Dell Inspiron laptop. I forwarded this Word document to my Apple iMac Desktop as an attachment. When I opened document it only shows page 1 and not the remaining pages. I thought that it was because it was all one continuous document, but there were page breaks on original document. What is the easiest way to send a Microsoft Word document from a Dell computer to my Apple iMac?

Most likely the table is the problem. Try making sure it is inline (in the text not floating), then it will flow from page to page in Pages.
First try selecting the table:
Inspector > Wrap > Object Placement > Floating
Which might fix it.

Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

Saving 2-page word document results in 2 PDFs

I tried to save a 2 page word document as a PDF (print -> pdf -> save as pdf) but what I get are 2 separate PDFs instead.
So, a CV.doc file becomes CV.pdf & CV.2.pdf
Any ideas on what's going on? This seemed to be working all right till quite recently.

Are there mixed orientations in the original pdf? If so, these threads offer information on Apple's inability to handle mixed orientations.

Documents Created In MS Word Can No Longer Be Opened in Pages

After three months from the date of purchase of a new computer with Mountain Lion, I am now unable to open documents originally created with MS Word that were on my old system. For the first three months, when I clicked on Word documents, they opened in Pages. I could edit those documents but had to save them as Pages documents. Now I am unable to even open previously created Word documents.
Was there some sort of 90 day "conversion" period where all documents needed to be switched to a Pages format?

No, there was no time-limiting on that feature, it should still be there. It sounds like you're having a problem with Word files no longer being associated with Pages as the default. I'm guessing that dragging a Word file onto the Pages icon on your Dock would open it... is that correct? If so, select a Word file and choose File -> Get Info. In the Open With section, change the selection to Pages and click the Change All button. (Note that this is assuming that the Word files have the appropriate .doc or .docx extension.)

Pages error: document can't be opened.

I use my pages app for most of my writings.
I Have a lot of important documents in there that I use every day. Every time time I finish editing one of them, I always sync it to iCloud, to make sure it's backed up safely.
I also have pages installed in my iPhone and Mac.
Today I tried to open one of my documents using the iPad, but a little message appears: "The document can't be opened".
Naturally, I've tried opening using my iPhone, Mac and iCloud website, but they all display the same message. The website says it can't download the file.
I opened all the others documents to make sure they're all working. So the problem seems to be with this specific document.
I also tried emailing it, and was successful, but the document won't open. When I try deleting it from my Mac an weird message also appears:
“Document” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
I have no idea how to fix this problem.
The only thing which I can think of that may have cause the problem is that, sometimes after uploading to iCloud, I also open pages in my iPhone just to download and keep it safe there also. Maybe during this transfer the file got corrupted somehow.
It's an important document that I need to recover.
I appreciate any suggestions.

I agree with weathertx.
What in the h*** are they doing?
I hit the ALL STOP butting on upgrading to Mavericks when stuff started going sideways - this is just the latest.
Trying to use iWork for the first time - and same issue. Created a document on my iPad in Pages (I will check for update to pages but there is none indicating I need to in my App store)....and sent that pages file to my Mac Air in DropBox - tried to open "missing XML file" error and when I open the package - there really is NO XML file. I am not a programmer and should not have to be - to create or complie a missing system file that it needs.
Wait a sec.. WORD works but I import a file made in Pages App to Pages and is does not on my Mountian Lion MacAir..? What? *pinches self*
This cannot be fixed by us. I know that I am making far too many trips to the bug page these days - this is all starting to remind me of days gone buy when I left the PC world for this same reason. I don't want to be a beta tester. There is no money in this for me.
In fact it's the reverse - this is costing me $$.
This is not very encouraging.
Pathetic. Apple should be looking over the fence at this type of thing. Thier users are the ones that you want to keep, shoudl be your greatest testimonial.
This is not a testimonlal in the right direction.

Text frames not supported and images can't be imported when trying to open word document, can this be fixed?

trying to open a word document in pages, no images, diagram r tables are seen, states problems are text frames not supported and that images can not be imported. the document opens fine in mircosoft office. can this be fixed or do i need to buy microsoft office for the imac, thanks andrea

Pages isn't a perfect converter of Word documents. They are differently coded. Some documents opens well but some don't.
You could try opening the document in LibreOffice, a free clone of MS Office.
