Hi. My first post here; I hope you can help!
I frequently need to copy text from a Word document (incoming from clients) to a new Pages document (in which I prefer to work). In some but not all cases, Pages bombs out. Length of text seems not to be the issue.
However, if I copy to Textedit and then copy from there to Pages, there's never a problem. This has only happened since I bought my new iMac. OS 10.6.6. Same Word (v. 11 from Office 2004) and Pages (v. 2.0) as on my previous Mac.
All this because if I try to set the default program to open a .doc document as Pages, I get an error message saying 'impossible to open using Pages'. This too is something new in my new Mac.
Any ideas? Thanks!
