Question

Pages App only displays first page of MS Word .doc & .docx files

Hello all,

There may be a thread out there to address this, but I couldn't find it.

I'm trying to switch to the Pages App from Microsoft Word. All of my .doc & .docx files only display the first page's text. Any proceeding pages show up blank. When I show pages side by side it looks as if the second page's info is there, but shifted to the side (half off the page) and I can't seem to move them to the proper place so I can see all my work.

Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? I'd like to get as far away from Microsoft as possible.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Folly,

There's a bug in the Pages adaptation to the Retina Display that causes that problem, and it's not just with imported documents, but all Pages documents according to what I have read here. Search these discussions for more detail. For now, choose "Open in low resolution" in the info pane for the Pages file.

Thanks Jerry, That's what I needed to know. Waiting on the bug fix, because, honestly, the text on this screen makes the experience so worth the price. My old macbook pro looks like it's from the stone age compared to the retina. Bummed to have to use it in low res, but it's worth it to get away from Microsoft.
