Problems with word files in pages

I have been able to open word documents in Pages on my MacBook Pro since I got iWork '09 last year. However, I have just purchased an 27in iMac, and I can no longer open word documents using Pages. Anybody have a similar experience, and if so, what's the solution?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Two things that may not have been done. It is amazing the number of problems these two steps can fix.
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 '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 '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

Hello,
From several weeks my company has a problem
with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
via VPN.
Symptoms:
- Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
opening a blank card)
- there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
- All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
- When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
It is not a problem with VPN because:
- Word is opening locally (not network files)
- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
Does anyone know a similar case
and could help solve this problem?
Regards,
Pawel

Hi,
"- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
Thanks,

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Hope that helps.

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Opening .doc (word) file on pages

Hi.
I'm having trouble opening word files on pages. Whenever I do, these "cells" cut off in the middle of the text. What I mean is, if the text is 2 pages long, only one page appears. I can only see it if I go to the section, "select all" and then paste it in another file. So I did that, and pasted it back. However, when I saved it as a word document and tried to open it with Word, there were no spaces, so the formatting was not quite right.
Any help, please?
Here is a screenshot: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dreaming_freak/Picture2.png[/IMG]
As you can see, the text just abruptly stops. I don't know what to do about it.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Is it surprising ?
The User Guide clearly states:
*• Word files can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word on a Mac OS X computer or on a Windows computer.*
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. Also, special typographic features and some graphics may not display as well, particularly those using transparency (alpha channels). Tables and column layouts may not export identically. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which can be edited.
As far as I know, the only soluce available when you need absolutely identical display on two universes is to use Word itself.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

printout.writeBytes(content);conffie is sent to the server but
it's non possible to treat binary data as String!
Image files must be sent as byte[] NOT as String ......

Because i commented the above line & compiled, so it is not giving any error now.
So please tell me what win_api_environment.read_registry does??
it's read windows registry value. So, no problem if you comment it.
