Trouble Exporting a Document to Word format

I just installed the update to Pages and now can't seem to export a Pages document to word. The document has a lot of tracked changes in it and I am getting an error message of "an unknown error has occurred". Any suggestions how to fix this?

As we can not see the "complete mess" maybe you should describe the problem to us?
Or were you just letting us know?

Problems in exporting crystal report to word format

Hi All,
I am getting trouble in exporting crystal report to word formats.
Here are my questions:
1) The exported word file will have a text "R..950" added on top right hand corner, How to get rid of it?
2) For those "Can Grow" fields, it can show multiple line data correctly in the viewer. However, the text box in exported word file will be too small to show all the content and lower half of the text is cut.
Thanks and Regards,
Cherry

Hi Asha,
Thanks for reply.
The version of crystal report designer and viewer which I am using is version 11 Release 2.
Besides, I guess it might relate to the format of report so I would like to tell you more.
Font Face: Arial Unicode MS (in order to show chinese characters)
Font Size: 9 pt
For the text "R..950" issue, I just found that some people in the internet having the same issue and they suggested that may relate to the locate. In my case, the locate is Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.).
If it is necessary, I may send you my report with sample for test.
Regards,
Cherry

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.

Automator Workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format

Does anyone know of any automator workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format? I tried this program: Convert to PDF 1.2
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/converttopdf_mauriziominelli.htm l
But it gives an error.

Reading carefully is often useful.
The description of the tool which you tried clearly states :
*About Convert to PDF*
*_Convert all of your text files to PDF_. This action uses the underlying cups printing system ability to convert files, it’s a simple front end to the command line tool cupsfilter.*
As far as I know, but maybe you don't, *_a Numbers document isn't a text file._*
I already posted a script exporting Numbers documents as PDF.
Here is an enhanced version which apply only to Numbers '09 (or maybe higher) :
--[SCRIPT save2Numbers&PDF.app]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir save2Numbers&PDF
Le script enregistre le document au format natif de Numbers
et l'enregistre dans un fichier PDF.
S'il existe déjà un PDF homonyme, il est renommé en lui ajoutant une chaîne
construite sur sa date de modification.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script
as a Script: save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose save2Numbers&PDF
The script saves the document in the native Numbers format and saves it in a .pdf file
If such a .pdf already exists, it is renamed with a stamp matching its modification date.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox

WHY WHEN I EXPORT A DOCUMENT TO WORD CAN´T EDIT?

WHY WHEN I EXPORT A DOCUMENT TO WORD CAN´T EDIT?

Hi Tami,
I'm so sorry for your frustration! I'd like to assist.
Is there a chance your PDF was originally a scanned file? As these can be tough because the converter doesn't have anything solid to grip onto.
Let me know and we can try and troubleshoot together!
Kind regards, Stacy

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.

Export PLD to MS Word format

Hello SAP B1 Xperts,
I have set the following path in MS Word Temp folder as:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\English\
and even tried with:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\ (I have full auth. and trying from manager id)
When I click on MS Word icon to export any doc., it neither asks where to save it, nor gets AutoOpen.
Please suggest me, as of where are these exported docs are getting saved.
Because when i again click on the MS Word icon for the same sales Order, it shows a dialogue box with message
"Document named ORDR 360.doc already exists. Replace with a new name?" with 3 buttons Open Existing/Replace/Cancel.
This 'Open Existing' too not working.
Please suggest if any Settings part I am missing out.
Awaiting Xpert Comments...
Thanks in Adv.
Regards,
Papil

Hello All,
Solved.
Actually when I clicked on 'Open Existing' button on that Dialogue box, it opened a Word file 'Docmnhl1.doc' from the specified path. Its a template designed for conversion. To get the PLD converted into MS Word, first, we need to 'Enable the Macros' settings in MS Word doc. Then only it gets converted according to the template.
Well, Thanx for all the expert comments.
Solved !!!

Export Marketing documents to Word in SBO2004A

Hi all,
in one of our projects we ware facing the problem that the word-export functionality is much to uncomfortable and not documented very well.
Actually we try to export e.g offer or invoices to word. This works pretty fine. But we want to edit the delivered templates.
In this regard we are confronted with the following problems:
1. How are the variables within the word template defined?
E.g. Dependent on the position in the word template Adress.Val sometimes equals City.Val and sometimes not.
2. Which variable is usable in which section of the word template?
E.g. DocNum.Val is only usable in certain sections
3. How to use additional tables (sbo tables) in the template?
E.g. I guess that the first table is always used for items, the second one is always used for service and so on..
4. How to use an itemline multiline?
E.g. A very long item description requires two lines
5. How to prevent that the document header is printed on every page, when there are more than 10 item lines?
6. Is it true that addintional fields can only be used in the header and bottom section?
Thank you very much.
Berst regards
Holger

Hi Holger,
since a few weeks there is a pdf document about export to word in 2004A. Did you already read this?
You can find it in the smb Portal/service&support -> SAP Business One -> Knowledge&Services -> Knowledge Base -> Releases -> Business One 2004

Exporting Pages documents as Word loses italics.

Can they be preserved? How?
I love Pages 4.1 otherwise. This makes me very sad.

When you insert a piece of text using Times Italic, you no longer use the font :
"TimesNewRomanPSMT" which is the standard one
but : "TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT" which is the italic one.
Maybe this one is unavailable in the PC running Word and so, substituted by the standard font.

I had similar issues in college (~1995), and am incensed that exportability of Apple word processing documents to MS Word is not closer to perfect sixteen years later.
The first Pages version was introduced in 2005 so it's not 16 years after but six years after.
Don't dream,Pages will never be 100% compatible with Word. It was not designed to achieve this goal.
If you want to build 100% compatible documents, you must use Word or one of its free clones and I'm not sure that your docs will be rendered exactly the same way on PC or on mac.
Apple goal wasn't and I hope that it will never be to clone Word behavior.

Saving documents as Word format

I save most of my work in Pages as Word documents so I can open and edit them on my Android phone as well. The only problem I have is that when I save an existing document, it does not automatically go back to the directory from which I opened it. A document saved in the default Pages format does this, so obviously the problem is Pages "remembering" the directory. I can manually find the right directory and all works OK, but is there any way you know of to make Pages remember automatically where the document was originally stored?
On a related note, the "last documents" option doesn't find Word documents either. Wonder if there is a way to get it to locate those as well?
Thanks much!

That is a changed and inconsistent behavior. The expected behavior as Charles points out is that Finder notes the origin and sticks there.
It used to do the expected back at Tiger and has drifted off course ever since. In Preview it has at various times opened .eps files, converted them to .pdf, stripped off their name changing it to 'Untitled' and then dumped them in the Documents folder. You have the unending joy of going through your Documents folder trying to sort out the origins and names of all the "Untitled" pdfs.
I sometimes think there is a User Interface Annoyance committee at work in Apple now.

"It just works!"
Think they need to change that to the past tense.

To edit a pdf, can you do it right in pdf form or must you export the document to word first?

I have been trying to edit a PDF, I have been using the export PDF. This does not have great compatibility so I might as well just create a whole new document. If I upgrade to the premium, can I edit right from the pdf form?

Hi Satya,
Thank you for the immediate response.
Now I can import the pdf files and edit them.
However there is a problem.
I can only open the pdf files which I created by the developer studio.
When I open the pdf files those created by a scanner, they appear blank. However, when I open the same files with acrobat reader, the contects in the file appear.
I will be very thankful if you could help me in this.
Many thanks
sudeep
