Transfering docs between pages and word

I recently purchased a macbook air to finish writing a manuscript that I had been writing in word on my macbook pro.
It was automatically transferred into pages and now I can't get it back into word.
Help!

Pages is not a MS Word clone, and does not work in the native .docx document format. Rather, it translates an opened Word document into the Pages document architecture. You are not guaranteed that this translation process, also used for export back to Word, will be accurate, or match the original Word content.
If I recall, Microsoft relaxed their licensing, and you are allowed to install Office for Mac 2011 on up to five computers that you own. If it were me, I would work on that original MS Word .docx document exclusively in MS Word to avoid any unplanned Pages content anomalies that cost you time.

  • How to avoid borderline coming between page and page in Htmlcss format

    Hi there
    I run a report output in HTMLcss format. Output is coming correctly.But what my problem is in the output i am getting some borderline (thick black line) between page and page. While i print the html i am getting this line at end of each page. What is this line and how to remove it htmlcss. i want printout without this line.I am using reports 10g version.
    thanx in advance
    prasanth a.s.

    The line is caused by the default HTML code placed in the After Page Value property found in the Report Escapes section of the report property palette. Clear the value to delete the line

  • Diference between "Page" and "Page Forward"

    Friends,
    what is the differene between "Page" and "Page Forward" in the Struts component palette?
    Thanks!

    "Page" represents a page (like JSP, UIX, or HTML page)
    The user would browse this page by typing something like:
    http://somesite/someapp/somepage.jsp
    "PageForward" is a Struts action whose only job in life is to forward control to an underlying page.
    The user would browse this page by typing something like:
    http://somesite/someapp/somepage.do
    Since in an MVC architecture, typically you want all browser requests to go through your controller layer, that means that you typically don't want a user to short-circuit the controller layer by jumping straight to a *.jsp page (for example, by bookmarking that page in their browser's "favorites" list)
    So, does that mean you should always use page forwards?
    I personally don't think so, although some Struts developers may have a differing opinion than me.
    Even if you create a page forward as a "front" for the underlying *.jsp page, if the user knows the URL to the *.jsp page directly, they can still short-circuit your controller layer.
    So, what's really the best practice?
    Put your JSP pages in a subdirectory of your ./WEB-INF directory as the BC4J Toy Store demo illustrates. The WEB-INF directory and any subdirector thereof, is by the J2EE specifications NOT BROWSEABLE from the outside of the J2EE web container. So, doing this prevents users from ever being able to browse your JSP pages.
    If you adopt this practice, then you will typically have a Struts diagram that consists of Actions which forward to Pages (that are under ./WEB-INF). Even though the JSP pages under ./WEB-INF are not externally browseable, it is legal for code in the web tier (like your Struts controller layer code) to forward to such pages.
    Net net, with this best practice, you are always in control.

  • Formatting is off when opening Word docs in Pages and vice versa

    I recently decided to switch from Windows to Mac and bought a MacBook. I used to use Word on my Windows computer and now when I open .doc or .docx files in Pages, the formatting is off, i.e. bullets, tabs, spacing, etc. This formatting problem also happens when other people use Word to open my files that I created in Pages and saved as a .doc. Is there some fix for this so that I don't have to reformat each document that was created in Word but that I now open in Pages?

    For maximum compatibility I think you need to use Word for Mac or OpenOffice.

  • Word doc to Pages to Word doc conversion problems

    I imported a word doc into pages on my iphone.
    I edited the document on my phone, then exported it back to word format, emailed it to myself and opened it on my macbook in word again.
    Now there are some weird spell check errors happening (eg it doesn't like the word 'you' and suggests all kind of rubbish) and the formatting of the apostrophes is all wrong.
    Is there a quick fix for this? My document is 102,000 words long, I don't like the idea of having to redo the apostrophes one by one...

    I'd recommend you use Word for Mac for such stuff.
    Before buying that, you could try the free Open/LibreOffice and see if the result is satisfactory.
    If you already have Pages on your machine, just do File > Open and see how it looks and works.

  • Working with Pages and Word-questions!

    NOTE: Sorry for the similarity of this to my post a few minutes ago titled "Which do I use, Pages or Word)? I learned some things through experimentation and have created subtler and more challenging questions for you.
    Help me out here (please). I am now working with Pages, sharing documents with dozens of behind the times colleagues who are using some old program called "Word." It's my job to work with these people and I'm trying to make it as easy for everyone as possible.
    Do I have this right? When I create a document (or open an old Word document into pages), in order to be able to share it with people, I save it, and check the box to save a copy in Word format. Then when I send my documents, it works like a charm. Yes?
    If I start by opening a Word document, and every time I save I check "save copy to Word," I end up with only one document, no version in Pages. If I start with a Pages document, or save without checking the box, I end up with two separate versions of the document (like when I create a pdf)? It appears that if I I want to keep working in the Word format, every time I save it will give me a dialog box and make me check the box (and possibly select my location). This is cumbersome since I am now in the habit of saving often (you learn that when you work with Word for the Mac for any period of time--bomb, bomb, bomb). So, an I correct in assuming that if I want to save regularly, I really have to work in Pages, and then be scrupulous about saving into Word when I'm done for the day, or just before I send? It's sort of a pain in the butt, although I can learn to do it--I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Also, is there an autosave function so I don't have to rely on my discipline? Or does it never ever bomb?
    What happens if I open the Word version and make changes to it? Do I have to do something differently to make sure I have both versions identical? Am I better off always to open the Pages document to work on, then save and send?
    Do I always then have two versions of the same document (like I would if I did this same thing with pdf)?
    How do I make sure that the Word version is always up to date since that is the one I am sending to colleagues? Do I always have to save and check the box, and then select the correct document to send?
    I do see that when sending a single document I can easily send it while I am in the document itself. When I do this, selecting to send it as a Word document (or a pdf for that matter), will it send the version I most recently saved, or the version that is on my screen (if I forgot to save changes)?
    FInally, I'd be open to any tips from people working regularly with others who must use Word. I want it to work as simply as possible, but want to set up some good habits from the beginning.
    Finally, finally, have you had problems with compatibility. I have to say that there have been very few Word document yet that I've opened that I haven't gotten a message that says that Pages doesn't support some aspect of the document and formatting is removed, or spacing is different, etc. The most common is that "paragraph borders operate differently so all borders except outside borders have been removed." I'm a bit nervous about this--will I be getting documents from others that I can't trust? Will I have to ask them to send a pdf as well so I can confirm that I got it right? Can anyone ease my mind? Or am I living in reality?
    Thanks a million!

    Well yes they are not the same program so there will be differences.
    For example Pages only allows a border all the way around a paragraph with few options on the style of line, which is why you got the warning.
    A workflow would consist of you doing your work in Pages however you like it and when you have finished and saved, making a Word copy which you despatch to your colleagues and then throw away.
    Of course this is more cumbersome than sticking with MsWord which is another option. You choose. It comes down to whether or not you have to tightly conform and interact with Word users. Maybe Pages is not for you, or even NeoOfffice which is a clone of MsOffice.
    Test it. If it works and you like it stick with whatever solution works for you.

  • Takes longer and longer to move between pages and files...little ball rolls and I cant move

    I got a new harddrive installed this year and it is difficult to move between pages or open or close anything instantly...waiting time varies...

    Let's establish some specifics:
    What model MBA do you have?
    How much RAM
    What HD? Original PATA drive, original SSD design or newer style SSD/RAM drive?
    The file(s) that we're working with, what are they? How large are they and what program(s) are we using in conjunction with them?
    We need to try and figure out if this is an application or an OS X issue.

  • Performance difference between page and scroll

    Hi experts:
    What is the technical difference between paging and scrolling, especially as pertains to database access and performance?  The scenario would be a table result in a view where 200 results exist for a query.  A scrollable table would show all results, while the paging table would show 10/20 per page.  Is the database selection the same for both approaches?  Or is the paging approach going to make more trips?  If there are trips - how does the UI know how many pages should be presented?  Is one or the other a better approach for data which is not existing in CRM system?
    regards,
    bill.

    If you look at the servlet translated from a JSP, you'll see these lines:
    Object page = this;
    pageContext = _jspxFactory.getPageContext(this, request, response,
                null, true, 8192, true);
    _jspx_page_context = pageContext;
    application = pageContext.getServletContext();So page is simply an alias for this.
    And PageContext is analogous to ServletContext but please notice, it's not the same or a replacement; application is the implicit reference to ServletContext and not pageContext. There is no equivalent of pageContext in servlets.
    Please note that the page scope doesn't refer to the page object but to the pageContext. Therefore, what Manivel said above
    page is used as a scope with in one jspisn't correct.
