Why does Pages delete sections of a document?

While writing a document, Pages will suddenly delete a section of the document. Anyone else experience this?

Pages doesn't delete anything. It is probably something you are doing that triggers this behaviour. Which device do you use Pages on? In this forum we mainly try to help those having computers. There is a forum for those using Pages on iPads too.

  • Why did Pages delete ALL of my documents?

    "Your documents were removed from this ipad but remain stored in the cloud" And that appears to be the case. But why right now in the middle of using Pages to study for a midterm that's tomorrow? A TAD BIT INCONVENIENT. And a horrible scare while I'm trying to stay focused while studying. I've been using this app all weekend to review my notes, all semester for that matter while I take notes in several classes. I have a large amount of documents in Pages, most of which are notes from classes.
    I can download one document at a time on my computer, but why can't I restore these documents to my iPad, and will Pages just get rid of them again? It's an old, first 64gb iPad, but it has 32gb of free space. Having said that I don't need to be told that I should buy a new iPad, as soon as I can financially I probably will, but I need this one to not scare me like that in the mean time.
    Is there something I should do? Is it trying to tell me something? Any way I can prevent this in the future?

    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Documents & Data is switched ON.
    You don't need a new iPad. I still use my first gen iPad for storing documents in iCloud without any problems.

  • Why does pages open a bunch of documents when i open it?

    I open up pages and when I do so the last 3 documents I have been working on all open too.  How do I get this to stop?

    If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Lion Tweaks or the latest version of TinkerTool. Both have the option to turn off the resume feature for individual applications.

  • Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

    Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

    The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
    If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

  • Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

    why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
    and can i specify a default save-as location?

    The default save location is the one used to open the document.
    The default save_to location is the last used one.
    Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
    It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
    From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

    Why does Pages change tab settings randomly in a document?

    Have no clue what is happening to make the font change style. Are you hitting any keyboard shortcuts or is a syle applied to those cells?
    There is no automatic Calendar generator, but Pages will generate sequences in tables and:

  • Why does pages prompt the save dialogue every time i save?

    Just like every other word editing program, I should be able to just click save or push COMMAND S to save easily without getting the Save dialogue, once I saved for the first time.
    Why does Pages insist on bringing up the Save or Save As dialogue box every time I want to save a version of the document?  Once I saved for the first time, name the file, and save it to my hard drive, I should not have to deal with this anymore, unless I specifically click Save As....  I should be able to click Save or push COMMAND S and have it save in the background as with every document editing program.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You are obviously confused in thinking that Pages is a MsWord substitute which it is not, it is its own program.
    When you export to .doc you are doing exactly that, making a copy in a different format to the one you are working in.
    TextEdit can save to .doc and Save to it as can several other applications, but none of those are MsWord either.
    If you want to work in MsWord, why not use MsWord itself?

  • Why does pages enter a paragraph after a page break?

    Why does pages enter a paragraph after a page break?  This comes into play when I am using bullets and numbers.

    Because Page Breaks and Section Breaks are returns. Use soft returns [Line breaks] if that is what you want.

  • Why does Pages app have no 'labels' template?

    Why does "Pages" have no 'labels' template?

    That bug was introduced in Pages 5.1. This workaround:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24857600#24857600
    ... gets rid of the com.apple.MediaLibraryService process and also brings memory usage by Pages itself back in line. Involves removing (should archive them and restore prior to applying a software update) a number of plug-ins, may or may not affect functionality (I have not noticed anything, apart from making the computer usable again).
    Current version of Numbers is also affected; without this "fix," a second com.apple.MediaLibraryServicelaunches, also consuming more than 1 GB of real memory, and Numbers itself uses multiples of the memory it should. Removing the files described also restores Numbers to normal functionality.
