I use OSX 10.8.4 and successfully emailed writer and calc files with Apple Mail by clicking on the envelope and by using drop down menu.

Re: Is anyone using Apple Pages?
I am hoping you would be willing to help me. I have posted 3 times with no answers. I am 76, just learning this wonderful new world...10 days ago downloaded Open Office. Was able to open and edit docs from my Flash Drive..Then somehow, 98% of my docs (90% of which I had not even opened in Open Office), got changed from Word docs to openoffice.org.XML 1.0 Text Documents (which as I understand it (not sure) are text encoded docs) When I try to open, pop-up ASCII menu comes up. No matter what I do there, the doc opens as computer code. I NEED these documents which represent 25 years of creative work.

(I am a Jazz pianist/composer/poet).\ Thanking you in advance, God Bless you and yours, Cal Bezemer / Cal Q LateR Fitstly, I direct you to our Forum at http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ where you should register and pose any follow up queries. We need to know what operating system you are using (such as Windows version) Did these files ever open with OpenOffice? Have you recently upgraded OpenOffice? If so, what version are you currently using? The first thing to try with strange happenings with OpenOffice is to delete or rename the User Profile. Details on how to do this are given at [Tutorial] The OpenOffice User Profile Then start up OpenOffice, and make a trivial file. In writerm, if you type dt (no quotes) and press F3, you should get a page of dummy text. Save this file to the local hard disk (NOT the Flash Drive), then try to reopen it. If it reopens, then we are on the right track. Best not to write to your Flash Drive until it is certain that your OpenOffice installation is working OK. If you have only recently moved to OpenOffice (or upgraded it), from which site did you download? We only recommend downloading through www.opemnoffice.org/download/ (automatic redirection to Sourceforge) You say you are using a Flash Drive and have been working to it. Is this a solid state USB stick, or is it a USB connected hard drive? Experience on the above Forum is that it is bad practice to work direct to a solic state Flash Drive for a number of reasons: One is that the life of these is limited - the circuitry may support only a limited number of Write cycles and they may fail without warning. Secondly, they ought be removed from the computer using a definite USB removal protocol; should they not be so removed, or should the computer be closed down too quickly, the files can be left in an uncertain, often unreadable, state. Thirdly they are also sensitive to static electricity from being transported in pockets. Again, subject to failure without warning. If you come back to the mailing list or the Forum with answers, we can carry on from there. -- Rory O'Farrell ofarr...@iol.ie - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Is anyone using Apple Pages?
I have Apple’s Pages ’09 version 4.3 (1048). I rarely use it because I prefer AOO 4.0. I am attaching two documents that you asked someone to send. One is blank the other says hello world. I'm sure many other people responded to this but I thought I would to. Heck, I just might learn something from the experience. I am using OS X Version 10.8.4 I have a problem. When I want to email a document created in AOO 4.0, I clink on the email envelope (Document as E-mail), my Apple Mail program opens, but not with a new blank email that I can address and send. I have to open a new new email page and start from scratch.
