PowerPc MS Word document in Pages

How do I open in Pages an MS Word document originally written for a PowerPc?

As far as I know, the feature is unavailable in Pages for Mac so it would be surprising to see it in Pages for iPad.

HT202879 how can I open a Word document in Pages 09?

How can I open a Word document using Pages 09 please? I am trying to open Word documents from a CD using both trying to open in Pages, nd dragging and dropping into the Pages icon in the dock. It tells me, every time, thast the document cannot be opened.

What happens if you open it in TextEdit or LibreOffice [free]?
Does it open where you got it from?

How do i change a pdf in preview to a word document in pages?

Does anyone know how i return to work on a word document within pages as i'm currently viewing it as a pdf in preview.

Preview does not have that capability. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for software that can do such a conversion.

Opening a Word Document in Pages - floating objects not supported

I am trying to open a Word document in pages. It is a table of labels with artwork and text. Pages tells me that floating objects inside cells are not supported and were deleted. I've tried making them inline with text in the original document and then opening in Pages, but then I can't make them floating again. Anyone know how to do this? I really don't want to have to buy a Microsoft product!

Don't buy a M…soft product, use the free openOffice or the free neoOffice.

Can't open a Word document in Pages '09

Alright...I have tried to search the forum to see if someone is having the same problem but I haven't seen any. I cannot open a word document in pages. at all. Just says "The document “filename.doc” couldn’t be opened."
Any suggestions?

This was one of the first symptoms of "un-updated" Pages in Snow Leopard. Once again, here are the two things you may not have done that fix quite a few problems in Snow Leopard.
First, use the Mac OS 10.6.3 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Can't open word document in pages

Word document attached to email loading ca. 70% in Pages then pages closes down and can't get to open. Ideas?

Open the email with the attached Word document again. Then tap on the attached document. A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says "Open in Pages. If this doesn't work, try shutting off your iPad and then wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. Try to open the Word document again. Although I'm just speculating becuase, I have never had a problem opening a Word document in Pages and every time I open a Microsoft Word document in Pages, it just needs to change the font to a Pages- compatible font. I hope my solution works, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work.

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.

How can i save word documents to pages? I have an illegal copy of word but want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud. I'm a writer and need to preserve my word documents.

I have an illegal copy of word and I want to upgrade my software so I can utilize i cloud. How can I save my word documents to pages
so that they are not lost in this upgrade? I do not have the disk to reinstall word after the upgrade.

You might want to post your question in the Pages forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
Also if it's the Office 2004 version of Word it won't work in Lion since it's a Power PC program. Office 2008 will work in Lion if it's already installed when you upgrade. But it won't install on Lion because the installer program uses Power PC code. Office 2011 is the only one that will install and work on Lion.

How do I open Word documents in Pages?

I'm new to Mac and I'm having trouble opening my Word documents in Pages.
When I tried opening one of my documents ending in .doc it gives me this error message : import error the file format is invalid.
When then tried a document ending in .docx import error : an unknown error occurred.
The documents I tried to open are documents I made recently on my PC so they should not be corrupted.
Could someone help me.

Try saving these documents from your PC in an older format. It could be that you have features in your version of Word that are confusing Pages.

Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

Hi All,
I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
Thanks,
Badri

You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

How can i view a downloaded word document in pages?

how can i view a downloaded word document in pages? i tried to download a file, which worked, but i can't view it since i don't have word office

Not sure what you are saying but Pages just opens Word documents, drag the Word document onto Pages' icon.
Or open the Word document from the Open dialog.
If you are talking about testing a Word document after you have exported it from Pages then you will need of course to have Word to open it but there are free clones of Word as well such as LibreOffice, Openoffice and Neoffice that will do that as well.

Can't save a word document in pages

hello all, hopefully someone can help me because i am very frustrated with pages. I recently bought my 2011 macbook pro for school this fall. I transferred all my data from old macbook to this macbook. I needed a new word processing program, so I decided to download pages. Since the download I cannot save anything as a word document and for my school you need everything to be a .doc document to open on the schools computers. Every time I try and save a .doc document it comes up with an error saying:The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “essay one”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Being a college student I write 2-3 essays weekly and this is getting ridiculous that I cannot save documents as .doc when it gives me this option. I have went to file get info and went to change my permissions it says my name Danielle: and gives me to options read only and write and read only. It also gives the options of staff and everyone to read only, to write and read, and only for everyone is has the option no access. I really need someone's help!! So if anyone is out there write me back! Thank you!

The point is, where are you trying to save to?
It maybe you do not have privileges on your server.
Have you tried saving elsewhere, such as in your Documents folder, then dragging the file across to wherever it is you want the file?

How do I open a word document in pages

I brought a document created at work on microsoft word home and am trying to work with it on my mac using pages. But when I open it a lot of the form is in disarray and I can't work with it. Is there a way to open a word doument in pages without losing so much text? I am a new mac user.

Pages does not do Enter fields for forms so it sounds like those are simply being converted to some other space.

Embedded Word document in page

I want to display the contents of word document on a page. The word document will be stored in the database so I just want to display whats in it (words, diagrams etc). I dont want to edit it and save it, just display it. Is this a region or an item or maybe some funky html? I have seen it done so know its possible. thanks in advance

i have a bit of a solution where I have loaded an html version of the document into my static files and then i have an iframe that has a src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#mydoc.htm". this will display the htm doc in the iframe as I want it. 
 i have also tried the same as above but with a .doc file instead of .htm and it won't display so i assume there is a bit more to it than I have done?
 
 if i load this same htm document into the database (this is what i want so the user can load a different file to display if they want), i use iframe again but this time the source is src="#OWNER#.download_file?p_file=36". when i go to the page, instead of displaying (like an image does) it opens a save dialog. I am close but something is not quite right...
 I am happy to use an htm document but 1 issue I have already noticed is that the images are stored as seperate files so if a user was to load up a new htm file for display, they would also need to load up all the images...not very nice i just want to be able to display a word doc that is stored in the database, simple really, however, proving to be rather difficult!
