Why can't I get Word docs to "save as" or open in Pages

I just stared using Pages and I can't seem to be able to bring a Word document into Pages; it says that I don't have "access privileges or my document is corrupted." I know it isn't corrupted; I even tried creating a new document, (in Word) just to be sure. I also tried what the Help in Pages suggested to save the Word document as "save as" Pages, but that dosen't show as an option. I am missing something?

Recently i have tried documents between word and pages. In Ms office for Mac, i did not see export to pages option. May be because it is not there. But in Pages i have seen couple of options for export (pdf, word, html, rtf etc). I was able to successfully export pages document containing text and photos to word. I must admit that when i exported to word, the photos and text got disturbed and even the fonts got changed. i had to set it right again in word. But when i exported from Pages to PDF, it was just like what it is in Pages.
Hope this helps.

  • Microsoft Word docs are formatted wrong when opened in pages

    Hi,
    I‘ve been using pages from the very beginning and I am very happy with it (still waiting for "auto-save", though), but I do have one problem:
    often when I open word .docs in pages they are formatted wrongly.
    This happens especially with tables and pictures in tables.
    If the pictures are in one line in MS Word, they often jump to the next line in pages.
    Or the margins are wrong or both.
    If I open it in Open Office, for example, they are fine.
    Is there anything I can do about it?
    Will it be better in pages 09?

    Hi, I have a similar problem with Word (.doc) files containing a Table converted to Pages. Having read that Pages can convert from Word, I bought iWork instead of Office for Mac. I need to work on Word documents sent to me as attachments and find that Tables do not survive the conversion to Pages properly. Often the text within a Table is shown but, if a lengthy text (i.e. more than a page), the Table does not continue to the next page and the text becomes hidden below the visible Table. If I cut out some text from the middle of the Table, the missing text is revealed, progressively from the bottom of the Table. In other words, the text is there in the document but cannot be seen if it is more than can be fitted on one page. Any ideas on how to sort this? I am not encouraged that iWork 09 does not appear to help in a similar problem to mine.

  • Why do I frequently get error message 408 when trying to open a page?

    Recently Firefox has been running slowly and I often get error code 408 (browser did not submit a complete request in time) when I try to open a page. I have tried refreshing Firefox to the recommended settings twice, but this did not help.

    Is this problem with some web pages, many, most?

  • Why can Verizon not get wording correct on My Verizon Usage page?

    This has bothered me for quite some time. Since it has not been corrected, either they don't care, or other people don't care who use the page.
    When I go the Usage page, at the top of the page, the wording says "Bill Cycle ending 7/18/13.   21 days left."
    Today is 7/9 and there is no way there are 21 days left in the billing cycle! The wording should either say "21 days used out of 30" or it should say "9 days left" or however many days are truly remaining.
    Does anyone know who to contact to get this incorrect information corrected?
    Thanks!

    Interesting... my usage shows accurately, 12 days left, cycle resets on the 21st ... on the computer, and on the phone app. Very weird that yours would show differently (and incorrectly) on the computer.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.

  • Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

    What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
    Thank you

    Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
    Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
    Buy a larger capacity iPod
    Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
    What happens when you try
    What else is on your iPod.
    Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
    In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

  • Why can't I get my apps off my iPhone to download to my new iMac computer?

    Why can't I get my apps on my iPhone and iPad to transfer across to my new iMac computer?

    Becky ...
    Apps that run on the iPhone and iPad are iOS based. Apps that run on your Mac are designed for the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
    In other words, apps that run on your iPhone and iPad cannot run on your Mac and vice versa.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:

  • Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

    Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
    Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.
