PC Document Opens Flawed in Pages & Appleworks

Received a pc doc. (with tables, etc.) via email that I can open in Text Edit, Appleworks, and Pages, but the formatting is off. Not by a lot, but enough that I can not print it up as is without a distortion of the original formatting.
I thought Pages in particular would be up to the task, but apparently not. So, would MacLink Plus Deluxe solve this problem for me, or am I going to have to consider buying the Mac version of Word?

You might consider either NeoOffice or OpenOffice, both free but with OpenOffice you need the latest beta to work with Leopard 10.5.5. Earlier versions are fine with Leopard up to 10.5.5
I use both and they are nearly as good as MS Office and a bit cheaper.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.

I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

Multiple Documents open in Word & Pages

I just got a Macbook Pro. When I open a Word or Pages document, other documents that were previously opened, open as well. It is very annoying. Because it does this I can't attach documents to emails. HELP

System Preference > General
In the "Number of recent items " section uncheck the box next to
"Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

I thought Pages would allow me to open my documents that were created in Appleworks 6, but it's not.

I upgraded my late 2009 iMac to Mt Lion and then had to find "obsolete" memory to increase capacity so I could put iWork on my desktop, so I could open my old documents created by Appleworks 6. I thought iWorks Pages '09 would open both Word and Appleworks documents, but it's not. I used my iWorks DVD version 9.0 and after installing I did a software update to 9.3. Can anyone give me the answer as to what to do in order to open all my documents or give me the answer that I can't do it using iWorks? Thanks

It is an interesting problem. If you were using all of the AppleWorks tools the way Apple intended, then you may have a Word processing document with embedded graphics and spreadsheet content. Apple suggests that Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word processing documents, Numbers will open AppleWork 6 spreadsheets, and I believe Keynote will open AppleWorks graphics files. In between may be a gray area that other community members can help you address.
Although I have used AppleWorks 5 and 6 in the past, I no longer have any of these documents left.
The latest version of LibreOffice (v4.1) has added (so they claim) the ability to open Clarisworks, AppleWorks 5 and 6, and MS Works for Mac, Mac Word, etc. You might download and try the free LibreOffice and see if it processes your AppleWorks files. If so, it will allow you to export them in more friendly Office document formats. And quite possibly save you a ton of valuable time.

How do I make my old "Appleworks" documents, open in "Pages", on our new Apple with Lion?

We wrote letters on Applescript for 7 years on our former Imac G5. All were put in our new
Imac, and I marked Imack intel, but I'm not sure what the name of this new desktop with huge screen, is.
But now old letters must be opened in "Numbers", which has a check mark as Default,
and a right clik on the wireless mouse MUST be done, to choose to open it in Pages-
every single one of hundreds of letters (documents).
How do I make open in Pages the Default?
This is even more important, as the wireless mouse is not being recognized, so we bought a
wired mouse, which is like our old one and easier for my husband to use.
But the wired mouse does not have that R clik, and so I can't open ANY documents.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

For individual files, you can just drag the file onto the Pages icon in the Dock.
If your mouse doesn't have a Right click, hold the ctrl key when clicking. Apple for many years only had single-button mice, so that method has always been present.

Cannot enter anything on new Pages document , Can open, edit existing pages docs

Peculiar.
New Imac 21. inch with IWork installed at Apple Store (1:1 setup). Pages worked fine for a couple of weeks
This week, open fresh document trom template chooser. clean document opens but cannot type on it
Can open existing pages document and work with it.
Can open word or applework documents, work with them and a save as pages document which is workable
It is just the fresh documents
Is the problem the template? IF so, how do I replace the template?

Thanks, VIking but I do not think I used the Template instead of WP
I went to New and cnose a Blank document in Portrait orientation.
Cannot directly type on it
If I first insert a shape, without fill color, I can then write on the document and save it
The issue seems to be the BLANK document
Frankly,I saw this issue on my uncle's new computer, he is new to pages, mourning the loss of Appleworks and was terribly upset when he tried to write a new document choosing Blank and found he could not write on it
He has a vanilla new iMac with nothing on it which might cause a problem
I just replicated the issue on my own Retina display MBP .
"Blank" does not allow input of direct typing.

I was sent a .pages doc. When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x? If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1. Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1. 5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format. Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents. Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

(I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?

Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

How do I open up a Pages 5 document without the side formatting window also being open?

I use my Macbook primarily for writing, and every time I open a new Pages 5 document the side formatting bar/window/panel is also open. I have a small screen on my 13 in macbook, so I have to close that window up so I have room for other windows to work on multiple Pages docs at once.
Kind of a drag that I have to add an extra closing click each time I want to work on a Pages doc. Hey, those clicks add up after a while, right?
How can I set the default so that a new (or old) page opens with the formatting window/bar already closed?
I've already tried opening a blank doc, closing the formatting window,saving it as a template then setting that as my defalt "new document" template. When I open from that template the font style and size are the way I set them, but that darn bar is open.
Thanks in advance for any clues as to how to remedy this situation.

Peter,
Yeah, that's what I'm doing now - just clicking it shut each time I open a doc. But man, what a cumulitavely annoying extra step that has not been there in the 4 or 5 years that I've been using Pages, but just showed up last week.
Seems like there must be some sort of setting to make this not be the case.

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

Hi,
WARNING
it´s impossible (for me) to open Pages 5 documents in Pages 4, which is absolutely no go. You can open any f..... word.doc but no pages 4.
Apple is getting worser every day, it´s a shame. There is no information about this before you buy it.
So now you have to ask your friends or colleagues to convert a pages 5 document to a word document, so you can open it with pages 4. Hoiw ridiculous is that?
Pages 5 is a joke. In 5.0 they forgot to manage the task-bar, which came shortly after 4 weeks or so in 5.1.
The only good: you can run ist parallelly to pages 4.3 but it´s not worth the money.

Documents open "small" in newest version of Pages 5.5.2

I just noticed this in the most recent version of Pages and it's making working with old documents...tedious.
Instead of opening in the view size that I had closed them as, all existing Pages documents open in the same window dimensions, so I have to readjust the window dimensions of each document. This didn't happen previously.
How can I get all documents (existing docs) to open, say, in a specific windows dimension, magnification, and ideally, the same (or nicely overlapping) place on my monitor screen?
