Saving a copy of a pages document

I am not quite sure of the proper order to do this. I have a big document with graphics and most of it is in colour. I have it saved as a .pages document. I need to make a copy of it in grayscale. I know how to change the colour photos to grayscale, but how do I save it so that I dont overwrite my original colour document? I need to have one of each!
If I go ahead and change the colour pix to grayscale and then do a Save As and give it another name, will that preserve the original one? I really dont want to mess this up!
Thanks,

It may help to read the Pages09_UserGuise.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu, but these are really system issues, not specific to Pages.

Are you having trouble Saving a copy of a pdf document in Adobe X? Well here is the solution!!!!

Use another Web browser! There are confirmed problems with IE8 and Firefox. Opera works just fine, and I am assuming since Google is 'tea-bagging' just about everyone (or everyone is 'tea-bagging' Google, I'm not really sure) that it probably works in Chrome. There! Problem solved! Adobe sucks!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

Pages document saved as doc not readable by word

Hi all,
Lately I'm having trouble exporting my Pages documents to Microsoft Word format. I've tried the "Export" option directly available in the File menu, as well as the "Save as a copy" option in the Save dialog box. De document is correctly saved as .doc file and Pages can open, read and modify it, but I'm unable to open the exported document in Microsoft Word on my Windows PC. LibreOffice on my Linux PC does open the file, but doesn't show any of the content. Only some strange symbols are shown.
I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion with Pages downloaded from the App Store, so everything is up to date.
Does anyone have the same problem or know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Since it's obviously not a Pages plist issue, I think more drastic measures are called for.
The simplest would be to run the Mountain Lion 10.8.3 combo updater. In systems past, running the combo updater, even if it had been used before, can clear up some system odditites. It may work, but I think the problem is with Pages. Again, the simplest approach would be to delete Pages & reinstall it and run Software Update. I know you should get the most recent version from the Mac App Store, but this has helped others in the past. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. The easist way to delete iWork '09 is to use Yvan Koenig's AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

How do I copy a page from one Pages document to another using Pages 5.0?

I posted this question on another page, and haven't recieved an answer to it yet. However I have found a temporary solution, so I am posting this here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
The issue here is that I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverick (10.9.1), and my Pages also upgraded (to 5.0.1), altering my Pages documents. This is the issue, as as far as I can see the new Pages does not offer some of the basic needs that the old Pages did! In other words it is worse than the previous version.
Using the upgraded new Pages 5.0.1 seems to result in some major editing problems for me. If you upgrade, make sure you KEEP the old version of Pages 09 (v 4.3). That is what has saved me! If you have the same problems I have had - explained below, you will still be able to close the new version and open your Pages document in the old version, provided it is not a new Pages document. If it is, it will be possible to export it as a Pages 09 document and edit properly.
After upgrading to the new Pages 5.0.1, when I open documents in Pages and try and copy a section from one document to another (easy before using the thumbnails) many of the Menu items previously available are visible but appear faded and are not possible, including Insert>Section Break/Page Break/Page Number and Edit>Cut/Copy/Delete/Undo/Redo
This even happens if I duplicate the Pages document and try and do any of these from the Duplicate (which should be an easily editable copy).
My solution has been to simply open all Pages documents that Iwant to edit (or may want to edit in future) in the old Pages app (v 4.3), which I never got rid of. That has meant I can continue editing and copying a section (of 1 or more pages) from one Pages document to another.
If anyone reading this has figured out a way to edit Pages documents using the new version 5.0.1 please post an explanation, and I will try it!

And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Cannot view media in Pages document after copying folder to desktop

I have created a document in Pages which includes video, which is saved in a folder called Assignments.I also have a folder marked Pictures and Videos which contains the media from the document contained within the Assignments folder.
However, the problem I am having is that when I copy the Assignments folder to the desktop and open up the pages document, Pages tells me that the media cannot be found, even though I have coped the Assignments folder to the desktop.
How could I go about solving this problem, as it's really quite irritating as nothing has changed other than me copying the folder to the desktop.
Thank you in advance

I use an other scheme.
I store the document and the media files in a disk image so, I may move the complete set as I want.

New to Mac. I exported (aka Saved As) a Pages document as a PDF. I want to make some more changes to the original doc but I can't find it on my computer. Did it get replaced by the PDF version?

See title Bloch for my question

When you open a Word document in Pages it is converted to a new .pages document and you will be prompted to save it when you close it. That will save it to a .pages file which will then contain all the automatically saved versions from then on.
You export to a .pdf file, this retains the .pages version but creates a.pdf copy of it.
I don't know what you mean by "red X'ing" the document unless you mean you are closing it by clicking on the red button at the top left of the window.
I assume you are using Mac OSX 10.8, not Windows XP, which will auto save for you when you close the document.

I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page. I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text. I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer. I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu. It keeps doing the same thing. What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book. Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi Ellen,
Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).
Regards,
Ian.

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

Saving Pages document iCloud Mac at the same time?

I recently bought Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I like them a lot, but am running into some logistical issues. The biggest one is that I love saving to the Cloud - all my stuff is safe, especially since my harddrive has been replaced once and is already acting up again - but I also want my documents on my computer. Is there a way to double save - like, change a preference so that when I hit "Save" it automatically saves it to my Cloud and to my harddrive? I've tried creating a shortcut for File>Duplicate, but for some reason it's just not working. Duplicating and resaving every document I ever create/edit is going to get tedious quickly. Any help?
Also, on a related note, I cannot access Pages documents on other computers as a Word document. Even on my computer, I try to download it with Word - which I have - and it doesn't work. One of the biggest draws of the cloud was that I would be able to access my documents anywhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help!

You will only be able to save and read Pages documents from the cloud using Pages. Word will not open them from the Cloud.
Hold down Option while clicking the File menu and scrolling to Save and you should see Save As... which will let you save the document in another location. You will have to repeat each time you save.
Further questions would probably better be answered in the Pages forum.

To save as a PDF, you do that from Print
To save as Wrod format, you export

For John: my iMac accepted the flash drive when I plugged it in. However, when I try to save a pages document, there is no reference to saving to that drive.

Response to John: am new to using flash drive. It is the correct version and my computer recognizes it. However, when I try to save a pages document to that drive, there is no reference to it for saving. Only my hard drive seems to be available.

Hi. I suspect your flash drive is formatted with an NTFS file system (this is the default for Windows drives) and as such is read-only on a Mac. Try re-formatting on the either the Windows or Mac computer with a FAT32 file system. Be aware though that you will lose all data on your flash drive so back up first. Also maximum file size is limited to 2GB, is this a problem?

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?
