Why don't Pages .doc export files open in open office?

Annoying. - Pages is nicer to work on text with - but doesn't seem to export to .doc properly

Thanks for this..
So it's a known feature that pages 5 ( mine is pages 5.2) doesn't produce .doc files that work?
Or is it an openoffice problem ?
a quick try with a single word file form pages to .docx has the same result
I just bought pages to replace my Microsoft office 2004 that no longer worked in 10.9 !!
do you find libreoffice works with pages exports while openoffice doesn't ?

Here is my response to your original post.

Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

Pages docs no longer open when I've exported them as pdfs

Here's a bizarre one...
We create our invoices in Pages, export them to pdfs then e-mail them to clients. Usually, the previous month's Pages doc provides the template for the next. But now I can't open many (not all...) of the old Pages docs that I've exported as .pdfs.
Anyone have any idea why it's happening?
Thanks!

Can you provide a copy of the template so we can see whats going on

Why is a page doc attached mail not going out through gmail?

Since the update I can't send out an email attached with a page doc. I have continually received the message "Cannot send message using the server Gmail" "because this message's content presents a potentialsecurity issue" If I change it into any format beside page, it goes out. pdf and ms doc have no problem with it.
Can anyone help me figure this out? why does this happen?

You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

Why, when I have two PDF file open, is one document faded out?

Hi All
I was wondering if someone out there could maybe help me?
I’m having problems with opening documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I have one PDF file open and I open another one, the one opened later has kind of a grey/black film making it difficult to read.
I was wondering if maybe anybody out there has had similar problem? Or maybe you know what can cause this?
Thank you in advance
Pete

Which version of Acrobat and which version of Windows do you have?

How To Convert Multi Page Tiff Image Through open office in application

I will Appreciate Any Effort Or Reply Which Can Tell Me , To convert a multi-page tiff image in pdf format in application i.e not on desktop using simple open -office but through coding. I doubt if there Exists Ny Plugin Or Separate Library Which Can Do Tht. Code Or Library inJava Language will Be Preferable

Your question does not make any sense. First, PDF does not support multi-page TIFFs. DO you have a PDF that you are trying to convert to WORD or what. It is unclear of what you are starting with and what your end goal is. If you are dealing with coding, you may need to check the SDK forum, but trying to understand what you are trying to do would be a good idea first.

Old html files (done on Page Mill) do not open in latest Dreamweaver

I have a large website with many html pages, all developed on the old Adobe Page Mill application. When I try to open any of those html pages onto my new Dreamweaver CS5.5 on my new iMac, those html files are not recognized as "openable" (their titles appear in light gray, and clicking on them does not open them. I can't even click and drag them into the Dreamweaver window. How can I open those old html files in Dreamweaver?

May I recommend you to read this article first to get the basics of "Defining a site" in DW.
<http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html>
This article will give you a head start in Working with DW. Page Mill files are simple text file and they should open readily in DW but who knows what has gone with your system that nothing seems to work.
Good luck.

Pages 'doc' exports won't load in Word 2011

Help...
We work almost exclusively in Pages for text documents. When we need to send them to people using MS Word we export as a DOC format. Never had a problem until recently when we updated to Office 2011 (thanks to Lion not supporting Office 2004).
Now we find that some doc files exported from pages won't open in Word 2011 - but will open in NeoOffice, Word 2004 etc. What is odder still is that if you save the problem doc in NeoOffice / Word 2004 it will then open fine in Word 2011.
When we try to open a problem file we get a dialogue like this...
This suggests that something in the Pages file created by the export process is annoying Word 2011, but not Word 2004 etc.
Anyone got any ideas what this might be - the MS help for this dialogue is useless (assumes for a start you are using Word on a Windows machine...).
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
As you are saying that PDFMaker add-in is simply not loading in the add-in list of MS word.
Please exit all programs, open MS Word and go to File> Options> Add-Ins.
Now, in the 'Manage' label on the bottom, choose COM Add-Ins and click go.
Then, look for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In in the list.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In appears in the list but the checkbox beside it is not selected, then click the checkbox. Click OK. Then close and reopen the Office 2013 application.
If Adobe PDFMaker COM Add-In is not in the list of available add-ins, then click Add and choose PDFMOfficeAddin.dll from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11\PDFMaker\Office". Click OK. Then close and reopen MS Word.
Please check and let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Why don't some of my apps open after Time Machine restore?

As I was diligently running Disk Utility for my monthly maintenance routine, it reported some disk errors which could not be repaired. I tried Repair Permissions and Repair Disk again but got the same result. I had no choice but to boot up off my Snow Leopard Installer CD, wipe the drive clean and then restore my files from my Time Machine backups. Almost 3 full days later, the restore completed (155GB of data). All my files are back. Hooray and thank you Apple! But.. some of my apps won't start. They bounce in the dock, but do not actually open. They just stop bouncing without any visible errors.
I haven't checked every single app but so far App Store, Mail, Dictionary, iTunes, Address Book and iCal won't open. However, Firefox, TextEdit, Calculator, Word, Excel, VirtualBox, and Disk Utility seem OK. Any ideas? I thought it might be a permssions thing so I repaired permissions 3 times using Disk Utility (each time permissions appear to be repaired) but that didn't help. I have a callback to Apple scheduled for tomorrow, but any advance info would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

You have a problem with your drive and/or OS X and it's TimeMachine copy, are corrupted.
I had no choice but to boot up off my Snow Leopard Installer CD, wipe the drive clean
Do it again like this, hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, this time use Erase>Security Option> Zero All Data. Install 10.6. fresh, no TM restore.
But before you do this, copy your user file folders (music, docs, pics, etc) to a regular storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and disconnect all drives.
Almost 3 full days later, the restore completed
It doens't take 3 days to restore that's insane, I clone a entire drive with twice that amount in only a hour, you obviously have a more serious issue.

If your boot drive is failing, if under warranty/AppleCare then let Apple replace it.
If not, then try the Zero Erase and reinstall OS X fresh and update to 10.6.8 and wait it out, see if it works to see if it's really the drive or not, then create a new user like your old one, then install all your programs from fresh sources and files drag and dropped manually from the storage drive.
If you use TimeMachine to restore from, the same corruption there will return, if it was caused by hardware (your boot drive) or in software is undetermined, best do a fresh 10.6 install in this case and wait it out to see if it's a hardware issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
If your drive is failing, it will fail with the fresh install, but at least you have your data off safely on a storage drive and not trapped by TimeMachine as that's likely corrupted as well from either the boot drive, or by some other reason.
Also don't let Apple install 10.7 Lion if they try, most of your software won't work with it. Stick with 10.6.8., leave 10.7 for a new machine.

Why do certain Pages and Numbers files not appear in All My Files

I don't know if this is associated with Yosemite or not. But some time ago, I noticed files I use a lot no longer show up in All My Files in Finder. Whenever I want to open them I have to find them in Finder because they are no longer showing up as a recent file.
Any ideas why? I can't find any settings that seem to influence this.
TIA

Recent builds of iTunes seem to have an occasional problem where the main music section doesn't always list all the music that has been added to the library. Create a smart playlist with the name of one of the albums and you should find that the media is actually present. Often adding some more media seems to fix things. Downloading the iTunes Free Single of the Week has a good success rate.
Alternatively you could try closing iTunes, then removing the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder and restarting. This will cause iTunes to run a consistency check on the database which should sort out any anomalies.
BTW I had a clue from another thread that the "missing" tracks might be listed in the Unknown Artist/Unknown Album area at the bottom of the listings. Would you mind taking a look to see if you see the same?

Why don't pages and keynote work since mountain lion was reinstalled?

I just had Mountain Lion reinstalled to fix a problem with reading DVD's. That problem was fixed but now I can't use Pages or Keynote. When I try to open them I get a message saying "files that need iwork are missing" and it says to use the iwork installer to reinstall iwork. So I downloaded and installed iwork 9.2, but pages, numbers and keynote still don't work. Help! I need my documents for work!

Plus when I tried downloading updates to pages and keynote from the Apple support site, I got a message saying they couldn't be installed because they were from an unidentified developer, not approved by Apple. Huh?

Why don't my imported movie files show in iMovie?

I have a frustrating problem, and I don't know what to do. Sometimes when I import a movie file (usually a dv file) into iMovie, it doesn't show up. If I go to my finder, however, and look in the coresponding event folder, it's there. I can even open it in Quicktime and watch it no problem. It just doesn't show in iMovie when I have iMovie open, therefore I have no way of editing it. Sometimes if I try and import it again, it'll work fine, and sometimes it will only show a portion of the video in my iMovie, while the entire video is seemingly intact in the finder. I have plenty of room on my hard drive for the video. It does this with mov files too sometimes. Is there just a roblem with my iMovie?

This has been driving me barmy as well. I am on early 2011 MacBook Pro unibody, Lion OSX10.7.4. Clicking 'import' and navigating to the movie file just would not work. Why oh why? Your answers about showing 'all clips' in the event window or iMovie marking them as rejected were not relevant. Also these are movie clips I have put on my hard disk from my phone, they have not come through iPhoto.
Despair. No forums hold the answer. Until I remembered a Microsoft glitch in Lion that I just found out yesterday. (Does anybody else think that Lion is actually all downsides from 10.6.8? I haven't yet found a single thing that makes it better, and loads of things that make it worse. And I waited a year to 'upgrade'). Exel files with a '/' in the filename give you this infuriating message saying they are in use by another user. Er... doh, no other users are connected, no one else even knows these files exist, never mind uses them at the same time. Magic: Delete the '/' from the filename, and hey presto all is fine.
EXACT SAME THiNG with iMovie files. I took the '/' out of the filename and import now works fine. There you are. Yet another bit of Lion poop.

Had to erase hard drive, now pages docs won't open

I had an issue with my Mac and had to erase my hard drive, and start from scratch. I sent my essential pages documents via e-mail, and re-downloaded them, then re-downloaded pages, but now the documents won't open, with no explanation given.

JPS3, if by any reason there was a problen while uploading the file, I think there is nothing that can be done. Now, if the problem was downloading, you can try redownloading the file again and give it a try.
Any chances you have a copy on iCloud? (sometimes I hit save superfast without knowing it was save at iCloud).
Is this file created in the same version of the Pages you downloaded? or is it older?
I know that its no good for this case, but next time I recommend you use sites like Box, Dropbox or iCloud.
Hope you can recover your files.

Exported File Opened in Quicktime looks bad, but looks fine in Final Cut

I'm working on a DV/NTSC sequence. Original footage captured from DV/NTSC, so there is no recompressing happening in the timeline. I've exported the sequence as a Quicktime Movie, using current settings, not recompressing all frames. I've also tried this exporting as a self contained movie, but get the same results.
Once the export is complete, I open the file in Quicktime, the quality is blurred and degraded compared to the canvas in Final Cut. I then open the same exact file in Final Cut and view it in the viewer, and the quality is perfect! I have no idea why this is happening. If I take my exported Quicktime file, and run it through Compressor to create different formats, they all produce the low quality, blurry results. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?
So far, the only fix I've found is to go into the sequence settings as select "None" for compressor instead of the default "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" setting. The problem with this is that then the whole timeline has to be rendered. Once the rendering is complete, then I can export to Quicktime without any quality loss when viewing the file in the Quicktime Player.

From the menu bar:
*QuickTime Player* > Preferences > General > Use high-quality video settings when available.
