Reading a WPS files with Pages

I was sent an email file attachment in a .WPS format. Is there a utility or simple trick to open and read these types of files with Pages?

I can no longer open .doc files with pages 5

hi,
whenever I click on a .doc document pages tells me that:
"Pages doesn’t support RTF files."
this is very annoying and complicates everyday exchange with colleges,
does anyone has an idea how to solve that? make pages open .doc?
best,
jakob

The weird thing is that it was a .doc file (I suspect an older version is what has caused that error) and not .rtf... I tried to open the same document with the older version of pages, which worked fine.
No, I can assure you it was an RTF file. The fact that the filename ended ".doc" is irrelevant and certainly does not make a file a Microsoft Word document. The filename is irrelevant, and the file content is what's critical. For example, I could take a .mp3 music file, and then rename it "Presentation.doc". You would not be able to open this in any word processing software on any operating system.
Also remember that having files end with ".xxx", although a requirement in Microsoft Windows is completely optional in other operating systems like OS X and Linux. Files do not have to have "extensions" at all.
You have two options:
1. Rename the file, removing the ".doc" part. Now when you open in Finder, it will automatically open with Text Edit, which is OS X's RTF editor. If you absolutely must cling to Windows conventions, you could set the extension as ".rtf" - it makes no difference, as Finder uses the file content format to detemine the best program to use.
2. If you do have Microsoft Word available (either on Windows or Mac), open the .doc file in Word, choose "save as..", change the document type from RTF to the Word ".doc" format, ignore the warning informing you that you are changing the format, and then Save. Now you can open the file in Pages.
Hope this helps.

Re: Can't open a Pages file with Pages

Cannot open my old version for Pages's files.. How should I do? It show as this..

May you be polite ?
Trying to be efficient, Fruhulda asked you to open a new thread.
Given your reaction, I asked the moderators to do what you refused to do.
Now your question can't interfere with the original one.
It's really annoying to have to guess what is the real problem.
Which operating system are you running ?
Which Pages version are you using ?
At first look, it seems that you try to open with Pages '08 a document created in Pages '09, but the problem may be an other one. So, if you want accurate answers, give us the required infos.

Is it possible to open a pdf file with pages?

i created a wonderful document with pages a few years ago, and thankfully i exported it as a PDF file, because when i went to work on it in pages, i found that it had become rather jumbled. the PDF is in perfect condition. how can i import it to pages and continue my work?

It's easy to split the PDF into single page files.
Then, you may paste the pages in a Pages document.
Some times ago I posted a script resizing these pasted PDFs to fit the Pages page size.
When this will be done, create text boxes above the pieces of text which must be edited.

Open Acrobat pdf file with Pages

Hi,
I've read a lot of information about using pdf files with the ipad. I purchased goodreader but I'm not happy with the way text is rendered, it is blurry. When I open the same file with Safari, it looks perfect. Sent an email and I'm waiting for a response.
I was reading about Apple Pages for the ipad. Will this open pdf files or just export to pdf files? Thanks.
Regards-Michael G.

Pages is a word processor, not a pdf reader. It can only export to pdf.

Issue in reading a binary file, with 'Flatten to String' data.

I'm facing issue while reading a binary file (created using LabVIEW).
I've mentioned everything (issue and method to reproduce it) within the attached VI.
Same vi is attached in 2012 and 8.0 versions.

The reading of a string from a binary file stops at a NULL character (0x00). When the first character is 0x00, you are just reading the one character. I would suggest writing to a byte array since you are doing the inverting. And then you can read as a byte array.

U rocks..!!
you have hit bull's eye...!!
After playing around a little more, I think I might have misinformed you a little. If you explicitly tell it a string, it looks for the string length at the very beginning and reads that length of bytes as a string. It appears that if you implicitly tell it to read a string (not wire the data type) it reads all of the bytes directly, including the length of string you wrote.
Regardless, my advice is the same. You should just write and read using byte array. It is less conversions if you are performing your "encryption".
EDIT: Here's a snippet of the VI I was playing with to figure this out.

Reading fixed length file with different record types

Hi,
I need to read a fixed-length file with different record types, but the record identifier is in 31st position and not in 1st position.
But if I give 31 as position in File adpater wizard, BPEL takes whole 1-31 as identifier.
How we need to read such files.
Thanks

hi ,
u cannot use the default wzard for this
use some thing like this nxsd:lookAhead="30" nxsd:lookFor="S"have a look at the below link it has some examples

Reading a csv file with a large number of columns

Hello
I have been attempting to read data from large csv files with 38 columns by reading a line using readline and scanning the linebuffer using scan.
The file size can be up to 100 MB.
Scan does not seem support the large number of fields.
Any suggestions on reading the 38 comma separated fields. There is one header line in the file.
Thanks

Reading fixed position files with File Adapter

Hi !
I'm trying to use the file adapter to read a file with data in fixed positions .
I cannot get it to work, I'm getting :
[Line=3, Col=133] Expected "${eol}" at the specified position in the native data, while trying to read the data for "element with name Hours", using "style" as "array" and "cellSeparatedBy" as "${eol}", but not found.
Ensure that "${eol}", exists at the specified position in the native data.
and don't understand what the problem is.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.
If you are only interested in the first 133 characters then as you stated you need to put in a dummy filler at the end.
The file adapter is not as smart as you think. What is does is reads the string in a stream, so it gets its command and reads the stream until it hits it, then it gets the next command.
In your situation you said read 1 - 133 thinking it would ignore the other characters in the line. In reality what happens is that it reads the first 133 characters. Assuming that it wasn't looking for a end of line it would then read the next 133 characters. This would include the character you want to ignore, so your pattern would fail.
Good way to think about it is to apply the rules as if you are reading the file your self. In your mind you say read these characters then I want to ignore all the others in the row. You have to tell the file adapter to do the same.
Hope this explains.
cheers

I can't open a Pages file with Pages?

I use the newest version of Pages which came along with iWork '09, and I recently saved a document with Pages. It was unfinished, and I decided to come back later and finish the work. However, when I tried to open the file again, there was an error message saying Pages could not open the document. I checked the Info of the document, and sure enough, it was a Pages Publication. Is there any solution to this problem or do I have to type my document all over again?
Thanks

Sometimes, Pages make errors when it save documents.
I got several kinds of such wrongly saved ones :
files with no index.xml file embedded
files with wrongly formed index.xml
files with wrongly packed index.xml
files wrongly packed (when using the flatfile format introduced by iWork'09)
files truncated for some unknown reason.
You may send your file to my mailbox so that I may try to revive its contents.

Can you please share the file with us at [email protected]? Also, can you please confirm that you are viewing the PDF in the Adobe Reader app rather than an app like dropbox, Mail or Safari?

*** Reading from a file with tags ***

Hi guys,
I don't know if it is possible, but can you read from a file that contains tags?
For example, say i want to write a simple program that just outputs the details of a person that it reads in from someFile.dat
someFile.dat
<DETAILS>
<NAME> Napolean Solo </NAME>
<ADDRESS> 10 Some Street, SomePlace </ADDRESS>
<PHONE> 33333 </PHONE>
<NAME> Illya Kuryakin </NAME>
<ADDRESS> 12 Some Street, SomeOtherPlace </ADDRESS>
<PHONE> 44444 </PHONE>
</DETAILS>
So what i want is program that outputs to the screen like:
Napolean Solo
10 Some Street, SomePlace
33333
Illya Kuryakin
Is this possible in Java?????
I really appreciate any help that is given,
thanks in advance :)

...If that's all you want (and since a valid xml file has to start with at least <?xml version="1.0"?> so XML is irrelevant to this discussion) then this will generate the output you specify from the imput you provided:import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class SimpleAngleBracketEliminator {
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
    String line;
    while ((line=in.readLine())!=null) {
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, "<>");
      while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
        st.nextToken();
        if (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
          System.out.print(st.nextToken().trim());
      System.out.println();
}But if you actually want the benefits of real XML, then use a real XML parser.

Reading in a file with BufferedReader

I haven't used Java for anything beyond calculations and simulations so my programming skills aren't great.
I'm trying to read in a file which contains scientific data. I want to skip two digits, read 5 into one element of an integer array, skip 14 digits, read 5 into another integer array, read another 5 into a third integer array and then skip to the next line. I've worked out that I can use BufferedReader for this and the skip method is easy enough to understand. But the read(Char[],int,int) method has thrown me. It reads my 5 numbers into 5 elements of a character array.
So how can I get these 5 elements of a character array into one element of an integer array? Or can it not be done? Or is there something similair to BufferedReader that uses int[] instead of char[]?

Let me repost your data with a monospace font, so that the structure is visible:
IF13065     382 101215000+10008904031330IIIaF HZ 647 511aU
V13066     770   8706360-65008904041005IIaD GG 495 200a
IF13067     382 N1212045+11298904041054IIIaF HZ 6471800a
B13068     622 65014200-15008904041429IIaO GG 385 150a
The spaces aren't present in every row of data. It just depends on what astronomical data is needed for that element - (prisms, filters, emulsions etc.)Are the exact positions of the numbers fixed per line? Then do as I suggested:
Read the whole line and use substring() thats much easier to write and understand than trying to do skip() and read().

Open .doc file with pages

Is there a possibility, that I can double click a .doc file and pages instead of word will open the document?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If the Word document is password protected Pages will not open it. I suggest trying one of the Office clones such as NeoOffice or Open Office.
