When I export documents from Pages to MS Word, Slavic characters (č, š, ž), in the Times New Roman font, show up in a different font (Arial Unicode), in Word. Can this be prevented?

Certain characters, such as those with a caron diacritic (č, š, ž), show up in a different font when I export documents to Word, even though the font I use in Pages (Times New Roman) also exists in Word. When I was working with Word, I had no problem with these caroned characters.

What version of Pages?
What version of Word?
I tried this with Times New Roman in both Pages '09 and Pages 5.5.1 and opened them in TextEdit, LibreOffice and Word for Mac.
I only saw what you reported when I opened the Pages 5.5.1 in LibreOffice which leads me to suspect you are actually talking about Word for Windows on a PC.
As usual Pages '09 worked flawlessly even with LibreOffice:
It is no surprise to me that Pages 5 stuffs up the formatting as that seems to be its primary function.

    I can't say, but if that's the answer, trying to get it fixed might be impossible. Instead, I'd suggest compressing your attachments to create a .zip file. Decompression at the other end would take no time, and if the server changes the attachment's file type, just change it back to .zip.

  • The times new roman font is wider set on some of my document compared to others

    I am writing multiple essays right now, yay college, in iwork Pages.  On one of them, the font has more space in between the letters and on the other is is more narrow set.  I have the same font settings (Times New Roman, regular and double spaced) for both of my documents so I can't figure out why the fonts look different.  they have about the same number of words and yet one of them is longer by almost half a page.  I like the way the wider-spaced font looks so I'm trying to figure out how to make the narrow spaced font  in one essay look like the wider spaced font in in the other essay.
    Can anyone help? :/

    Check in Font Book whether you have 2 versions of Times New Roman installed, you may have got a second from an installation of MsWord.
    Is one of the documents perhaps converted from a Word .doc?
    Also check:

  • Exporting document from Pages to PDF repeats the same picture throughout the document

    I am creating a 4-page newsletter in Pages, and the final page has a series of jpeg photos (six of them) dragged from iPhoto onto the document. The photos are then given a Picture Frame and a shadow. I then save the document and choose FILE - EXPORT, choose PDF with an image quality of "Good". On the resulting PDF file, the first of the six jpeg images repeat in the locations where the other 5 should be. So I get a page with the same picture repeated 5 times.
    Any suggestions?
    I have tried changing the image quality to "better" and it exhibits the problem there as well. Note that it works fine if I choose File-Print and then save a PDF, but that results in a 65mb or larger file, and I need it to be as small as possible to email.
    Pages '09 (v4.1)

    Do the images have the same name? if so change the names before adding them to your Pages document.

  • HT4150 When trying to upgrade from 10.6.3 on a Macbook Pro, the update runs into an error before completion.  No info is given about why, is this a known issue?

    I'm trying to update a Macbook Pro with 10.6.3.  The latest using Software Update does not complete downloading.  After 475 Mb an error message says it can't connect to the update server.  I tried incrementally updating to 10.6.4. It downloads, starts to install, and just before finshing the install gives a "software error" message and quits.  Is this a known issue, and how can I get around it?

    Try running the combo updater.

  • How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

    Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
    To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.

  • How do i get a document from 'Pages' to 'Mail'? iused to work by using 'Share' from the menu?

    How do I get a document from Pages into mail?

    Open Finder, find the file you want to email, right click on it, choose Share>Mail
    Alternatively, if you're already composing an email in Mail and want to add the file as an attachment, choose the attach button on the right of the new message's header and navigate to the file and select it.  You can also click on File in the menu bar of a new email you're composing and choose "Attach Files" and navigate to the desired file.

  • Microsoft Word - Times New Roman will not print from my iMac. People send me Word documents, I must select all and choose another font. How can I fix this?

    When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font.  I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.

    harpnt
    Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
    You'll see the duplicate warning.  Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
    and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES. 
    You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
    RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
    Then try your docs again.
    Any better.

  • Installed Office 2011, now Times New Roman is whacked in Pages '09

    I finally had to cave in and install Office 2011 to edit a complex docx that was sent to me. But now all the Times New Roman font in all of my Pages documents have morphed into a very ugly spaced-out mess. Is there any way to return my files to their previous format?

    thanks for the tip. I seem to have fixed the problem in the documents, but it was not what you thought. There was only 1 Times New Roman in the font book. I right-clicked on it and now all my text is OK (I have no idea what I did, except the font list flashed to Calibri, what Word 2011 is using as a default). BUT, both before and after this fix, the listing for Times New Roman in the font book appears as a bunch of pictographs of symbol keys. My main problem is solved (for now...), but I am not declaring the question answered until the font list weirdness is gone.

  • Why when i tried to attach a document from pages it will send in jpeg not text?

    Why when I tried to attach a document from pages it will send in jpeg(image)?
    How can I attach pages to email in simple text format?

    Possibly.
    You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
    Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
    Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

    Did you click on the little triangle? Did you select one of the document files before pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window? If the panel is closed it looks like this:
    If you then click on that little triangle gadget you get this:
    A temporary solution is to CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the document file, navigate to the Open With item, and select from the sub-menu.
    The first method makes the association permanent. This method only applies to the currently selected document.

    Trying to print a document from Pages, when I go to print it won't let me select the document.  It is grey and I can't click it.  What should I do?

    I'm not clear on how you're trying to print. When you select Print from the file menu in Pages the current document is already selected. Perhaps you need to show the details in the print dialog. The first screenshot is from Mountain Lion the second from an earlier OS where you click the blue down-facing triangle button (sorry, I can't remember which one).

  • Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

  • Pages '08, formatting disappears from exported times new roman text

    I often work in Pages '08 with .doc files from colleagues. These invariably come in Times New Roman 12pt. When i export my files in word format, all formatting (bolds, italics etc.) has disappeared when they open the files on their own computers. If, however, I ask them to send back the file and opens it, the formatting is there. This seems to happen only when using Times New Roman, not i.e. Helvetica or (simply) Times. This is a very annoying bug, if that is what it is, which makes it hard to use Pages together with MS Word users. Anyone knows a way around this problem?

    G'day Jacob,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    In  the end, I've gone with Minion Pro, which I feel has a clean look, and a certain style without being distracting to the detriment of the text's meaning.  And the text volume is very much the same as under Times New Roman.
    So, how do people choose and categorise type?  Is there such a thing as a guide to type -- "Garamond gives an olde-worlde classical look, New Baskerville is New World Georgian" -- that sort of thing?  Yes, I realise it's broadly subjective, the feel that certain faces give, but aren't there some broad categorisations that can be made?  Or is it totally subjective, and up to the designer's mood and whim?
    I imagine everyone has his favourite faces -- my own for standard text is Caxton, but the Bitstream version, which is narrower and sharper than the Adobe one -- but if you want to branch out from the ones you're already familiar with, is there a way that people can get a guide or choose for a project, other than simply trying different faces until they find one they like?
