Problem sharing .pages documents as Word via Mail

Hello All,
I have recently begun using Pages on my MacBook Pro, but I am having an issue sharing my Pages documents through the program.
I click Share>Send via Mail>Word , but when I do this, it only gives me a "frog" sound as if I am doing something wrong, but Mail will not open or attach the document.
I have tried changing the document name, making sure there are no / or \ , but this has had no effect.
Is there anything I could be doing wrong?
Thanks for your time!

Illegal characters are generally those Windows doesn't allow in file or folder names. There are also those UNIX doesn't allow. Just play it safe & use alphanumeric characters, spaces & hyphens.
You can just export the file using File > Export or Share > Export & then attach that to a new Mail message. Probabaly easier than trying to figure out why e-mail via the Share menu doesn't work.

I opened my Pages document, choose Share but Mail is inactive. How do I get Mail active?

I opened my Pages document, choose Share, but Mail is inactive. It used to be active, don't know what happened. How do I activate mail so I can send
my Pages document via email?

Prior to the current version, the share menu contained only the means of sharing (Mail, Export). Choosing one of these opened a sub menu containing the available formats for the item to be shared (eg. Pages, Word, PDF).
For reasons unknown, Aple has revised the Share menu to show the means of sharing as a header (greyed) and the formats to use (Pages, Word, PDF) as menu items.
Choose the format lsted under the header.

Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

I have a OSX IMAC Version 10.8.5. I got pages at the same time I purchased this computer. I use a document to write all my passwords. Seems like when I E-mail myself the document from pages, I have not been able to type in the document, it acts like it is locked. I checked all the "lock" and "unlock" fields, and none of them were locked. I notice the document says PDF. How do I correct this? Seems like I've tried everything. If you can help, that would be great!

How do I get the content to match when exporting pages document to word?

How do I get the content to match when I export a pages document to word format?

You simply cannot get an absolutely identical export, in any app to any app. Exporting from one app to another means converting/parsing code, therefore the result cannot be identical. In order to have control over your final result, use PDF export. If you need a closer compatibility with Word, use OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I would not bet that Word for Mac would presserve identical page setting if file is created in windows, or vice-versa.

Import warning when sending Word version of Pages document as attachment in Mail

when sending Word version of Pages document in email, says character borders not supported so were removed, so email didn't have all of the text of the Pages document

Not that I know of. Would be less practical than the option coming from Pages -- everyone using Pages probably has some default email client, but far from everyone using Mail would have iWorks and Pages. So building in the feature to Mail not so practical.

Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

Sharing pages documents via iCloud

How do I share a pages document from my laptop so I can work on it on my ipad? I have icloud enabled on both systems, pages is installed on both systems, but I don't see how I can send or share a document unless it's through iwork.
Thanks,
Robin

The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox.

Pages no longer shares via mail

It seems or so it seems that after the last update to system 10.6.8 I can no longer share a pages document via Mail.
Selecting Pages, Word, or PDF makes no difference as nothing happens when selecting send via Mail under share.
This Pages 09 version 4.1
It will export
Anyone else seeing this problem?

I'm a bit puzzled.
I'm running Pages 4.1 under 10.6.8 and the export to mail feature behaves flawlessly.
On the left you may see a Pages document used for a test
In the middle you see the dedicated menu
and on the right is the mail created with the .doc file embedded.
Now, the problem is to find what is wrong in your system.
(1) try to run the app in an other user account.
Post here the results.
If it behaves well in this case, we will know that the problem is in your original account.
If it behave wrongly, we will know that the culprit is among the files shared by every accounts.
(2) try to boot the machine the clean way (without extensions).
I'm just a bit annoyed because I feel unable to explain the way to do that in English.
Here you will see the system's help page in the French version.
I hope that you will be able to find the English version.
I highlighted the scheme to apply.
If the app behave well after that, we will know that the culprit is one of the extensions available in your system.

Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

I have a question: I have created a newsletter in Iworks Pages. How can I send this out via mail as a newsletter ? So not as an attachment? I know Microsoft Publisher can do it with 1 click, but I don't want to move to MSFT. Please let me know, I also have Indesign etc. Createion of the newsletter is easy with my Apple, but then it stops....and gets worse the MSFT....

As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.
In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.
When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.
A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"
To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"
Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.
There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

Sharing Pages documents from iMac desktop

I have a 13 page document written in Pages. I would like to email this document via email to other users not necessarily Mac users. Will they be able to open the Pages document once they receive it? Thanks!

If you send this document as a Pages one, they will not be able to open it.
What you can do is to export the document to Word format, so probably most users will be able to open it. To do this, open your document in Pages and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to > Word. Then, you can send the exported file

PAGES DOCUMENT TO WORD DOCUMENT.

I don't have Word in my Macbook Air, so how can I save a PAGES DOCUMENT like a WORD DOCUMENT? Please help me! I really need this thing..~ Thank you if you answer my question.

With the Pages document open, use the Pages File menu "Export To" and select Word.

Save page document as word document help!

How do I save a page document as a word document when I don't have a 'save as' option in my File menu? All I have is 'save a version' I tried the shortcut which I believe is shift, command, S but it still didn't work. Please help!

This is not a "save as" operation.
This is an "Export" operation.
Simply go to FILE > EXPORT and select Word as the export format.

I can't seem to export page documents as word documents

Recently, when try to save a pages document as a word document, I get a message that tells me that I can't export the document as a similarly named word document. What's happened? It is a new phenomenon, as I've been doing this as long as I've had Pages. Often the pages document was created by copying text from the internet.

I get a message that tells me that I can't export the document as a similarly named word document.
Are you trying to save it with the name of an already existing Word document in the same location??? If not try closing Pages, then delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist in ~ > Library > Preferences. restart the computer if you haven't done it lately. Try Export to Word in Pages again.

Problem saving pages documents as postscript files and pdf files

Hello!
My problem occurs when the pages documents are saved as pdfs -they go 'screwy'. If you save as a pdf (through file, print, print as), the certain fonts show a holding maarker rather than spaces on the screen but prints fine. If you save as a postscript (file, print, print as) and convert to a pdf in Preview the fonts are fine on the screen but are blown out when it prints and are all over the page.
If anyone has any suggestions I am more than happy to try anything.
Veronica

As every user, the 'poor silly man' may download "*_Pages User Guide_*" thru the Help menu.
Doing that, he would be able to read:
