Picture mis-aligned when i open document with Pages

Hello all,
I am new to Pages and previously did lot of work on MS Words.
When I start using Pages to open on my previous MS Words documents, the picture are mis-aligned. I tried playing around with the 'stay on page' or 'move with text', and all the other buttons i can click on under the 'Arrange' columb, it just don't go back to the original alignment. Previous in MS Word, I did a right click on the picture, change the picture format layout to 'in front of text' and it will work.
Pages mis-aligned all my work and my boxes and charts from MS word document.
is there any way i can solve this issue?

We assume you are using Pages 5, the latest Pages but haven't said so.
Pages is not Word and not 100% compatible with its files, particularly Pages 5 which has had over 90 features removed from the previous version.
You should be aware that the .pages file format is a proprietary Apple format, used by very few users, unopenable by any other application and just changed to another incompatible format without notice by Apple just last month.
Pages 5 has trouble opening its predecessor's files, let alone Word's

Photoshop crashes when I open documents with a diferent ICC profile

i just installed an epson Plotter and since every time I try to open documents with different ICC profile after photoshop ask's me to change the color configuration it crashes. I really need help with this issue.

I solved the problem by creating a spare user account. thanks for the help. now the issue is that I can't find, the corrupt file or what ever is making the original problem happen which is still happening in the main user account. my guess is that the corrupt file comes from the printer.
everything started to happen after I installed the printer which is an EPSON Pro 7600.
any Ideas how could I find the problematic file.
and if any of you have any Tips how to install the printer with out having problems I will really appreciate it.
thanks everyone for the help. everything was clear enough to get to know how mac works.

Automatically open document with Pages 5

When I upgraded from Pages 4.3 to 5x, documents were automatically set by the installation to all open with version 5.0.x . Due to some initial problems with Pages 5, I changed the setting so that Pages 4.3 opened all documents. I did that by command-i, get info, open with Pages 4.3, and change all.
Now I want to default back to opening with pages 5.0.1, but if I do the same procedure (command-i, get info, open with Pages 5, and change all), Pages is still opening documents with version 4.3.

All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
That makes it impossible to get the System to stick with a choice in Finder.
Trash/archive whichever one you don't want.

Hi MIXAYA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. In OS X, by default apps will open with any previously opened documents opening as well. To disable this feature, select "Close windows when quitting an application" from System Preferences > General. To learn more, see this article:
OS X Mavericks: General preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
Close windows when quitting an application
If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

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.

Does any one know what the matrix.dms is? And why it is in my picture folder? When I open this file the unarchiver takes over and I see my entire hard drive when I scroll down I see the matrix.dms file with in the unarchiver.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know that the matrix.dms file is? And why it may have came to be in my picture folder? When I opened the file the unarchiver took over, then I saw my files in the unarchiver window. I then scrolled down and I saw the same matrix.dms file within the unarchiver window. I made a video of what saw when I tried to open the file, so as to aide in your understanding of reason for my perplexion at this file.

Hi EMT-B,
It sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting needed to narrow down your issue with the iPhone camera to hardware. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA

Hi Gurus,
I've tried to search the net for this problem but could not find anything and I'm stuck now.
Description:
we're using ECL to view attached documents (to POs etc.) which are stored through ArchiveLink on the content repository.
when we try to open this document, time-to-time we get following error:
Error when opening document with ECL control: INVALID_DATA
Message no. SDV004
by time-to-time I mean that when we try to open same attachment again it opens successfully (sometimes we need to re-open it 3-4 times to get it)
what we've tried is to enlarge timeout for HTTP protocol (tx SMICM, from former 30 to actual 60) but only effect we got is that we're waiting for the error longer time
It will be really great if anybody of you guys can give me an advice where the problem can be or where should I look and what to check
Thanks,
David

Hi Christoph,
thanks for tip, unfortunately this was already flagged, currently settings are:
for Display Settings:
yes - include ECL control
use HTML control
empty - maximum viewer wait time
(do you think that setting some value for this could help)
yes - deactivate generic object services in viewer
no - doc display as dialog box
yes - deactivate data provider cache
Storage Settings:
yes - always copy document class from document type
yes - permit multiple assignment
Thanks,
David

Did you click on the little triangle? Did you select one of the document files before pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window? If the panel is closed it looks like this:
If you then click on that little triangle gadget you get this:
A temporary solution is to CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the document file, navigate to the Open With item, and select from the sub-menu.
The first method makes the association permanent. This method only applies to the currently selected document.

When I open .docx in pages, why do I lose parts of the document?

I have been happily converting from word to pages for the last year. But recently I noticed that I have been losing pages of word documents when I open them in pages. I suspect that the losses relate primarily to the type of content since in the first case the document contained a table and in another it contained embedded graphs. The odd thing is that some of the info is being converted, just not all. When i opened the document containing the table it appeared to have a single page but I later discovered that it was actually a 2 page table, but only the first half came through into pages. The other documents contained several pages of embedded graphs and charts. One of them was visible, the others seemed to not exist. In that case it was a single bar chart in the middle of the original document while the others were missing.
Is there anything I can do about this short of using a different program? I can't continue opening emailed word docs in Pages if I risk losing vital information in the process.

That helps with the table problem. Thanks!
And I figured out the source of the problem with the charts. The original document seems to be referencing an external file, or at least that's what the pages warning says. I can open it just fine in word without having the files that created the original chart though. Is there any kind of workaround for this or are embedded charts just not going work in pages? I think the original charts were created in excel and then pasted into word.

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
thanks, brokenlom

Here are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

Open Pages '08 Document with Pages

A client recently emailed me a Pages '08 document and I can't open it with my copy of regular old Pages.
What? I can't open a Pages '08 document with Pages 2.02? Serious? That's just messed up. I mean, I should at least be able to view the document.
And it's not that I don't want to upgrade. I just haven't gotten around to it because Pages works well for me.
Meh.

the macaficionado,
In order to avoid "threadjacking", you should be asking this question in a new posting. Having said that, you can be helped by this link, especially the recommendation of Walt K in that thread:
