Hi Christine: You in theory should be able to edit word documents with pages without a hitch. But, let me try to help, albeit clumsily.:) Pages will often put you in a header or footer, or outside the document somewhere. Try approaching the document by selecting it, and then going to menu, file, open with, pages. This should set you within your document. If that isn't helpful, simply try starting and stopping VO with command f5 a couple times. I really find that seems to get Alex's attention. As a last resort, some people use Open office for mac, and some actually run that other unmentionable operating system using virtual machine or boot camp. Good luck here. I'm sure someone with more pages experience can offer other ideas.
