Have imported a Word draft into Pages 09. The formatting has gone crazy. How do I fix it so I can continue to edit the document?
iPad Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Pages 09
What specific version of Pages '09 are you using, and was it installed from an iWork '09 DVD, or when available, purchased from the OS X App store as an individual iWork '09 application? You do understand that Pages applications are not MS Word clones, do not work in the native Word document format, and that Apple makes no promise of document compatibility?
Can you open that wonky Word document in Pages '09 again, and from the View menu, Show Invisibles. Then perform a screen capture (shift-command-4) of that displayed document page, and use the camera icon in this posting editor to share that document corruption with me?
Pages '09 has absolutely no Word 2013 document support in it. In general, Pages expects any font reference in your Word document to be installed in OS X, or it will attempt to perform font substitution (if it can).
Do not understand these directions.
"perform a screen capture (shift-command-4) of that displayed document page, and use the camera icon in this posting editor to share that document corruption with me?"
“shift-command-4” elicits an image of a circle with crosshairs through it.
Where is the camera icon?
Did you try dragging the cursor over what it is you wanted to show?
It then makes and saves the screensnap to your Desktop.
Click on the little camera icon in the Toolbar of the Replies here and post that screensnap here.
Keep in mind that you expect us to give you details, whilst all we have got is "The formatting has gone crazy."
Not much to go on, you might agree.

If the end result of your work has to be a Word document again, forget using Pages and do your editing with Word for Mac or LibraOffice
