It may not be very pleasant, but it is a fact that Microsoft Windows has been the dominant platform for educational, administrative and business institutions for years. And iOS and Mac users who prefer to edit documents in the program Pages, if you don’t want to look like outcasts in the office, you should learn how to export files to the format .doc And .docx. Fortunately, the corresponding functionality is kindly built into the application itself.

There are differences between the latest and older versions of Pages in the way they implement the algorithms for exporting data to Word format. Not fundamental, but capable of confusing the neophyte of the Mac computer empire, so the first rule is let's update on time. It’s not in vain that Apple meets users halfway; now the software package, which includes Pages, is free (for users of new computers) - there should be no problems with downloading and installation. The following instructions describe the process of exporting data to Pages latest version to a file with the extension .doc or .docx.

1. Launch Pages, open the document you are looking for, which you need to save as a file for Word.

2. Click on the menu "File" on the top panel, then select "Export to", and in the submenu that opens we look for the same one "Word".

3. Pages will open another window in which in the tab "Word" we are interested in the section "Extra options", indicated by a dark triangle.

4. The fundamental point is that the stable version of MS Word 2003 is still installed and is functioning properly on thousands of PCs, but it does not recognize the format .docx. Accordingly, it is worth asking what Office package used where our file will be sent, and then select the appropriate extension.

5. The final step is to figure out what it will be called new file, enter the desired combination and press the button "Export".

1. Launch Pages app on iPhone or iPad (download link)

2. Open a document and click on the button with three dots in the upper right corner.

3. Select a section "Export".

4. On the screen that appears, select the format Word(or another if necessary).

1. Open any browser and go to icloud.com.

2. Enter your account details Apple data ID.

3. Open the web application Pages.

4. Select a document.

5. Go to document settings.

6. From the drop-down menu, select "Send a Copy".

7. Select the required format. In our case Word.

8. File conversion will begin. After it is finished, press the button Email.

9. A new letter form will open with an attached file in Word format. Enter your address in the field "To whom" and press the button "Send".

About the unpleasant - the abuse of specific symbols in Pages, like the same Emoji icons and other beautiful, but “heavy” editing, significantly complicates the export procedure. Exchange with colleagues on PC under Windows control better with simple, standardized documents, fortunately, business style This is precisely what the use of such means.

(for presentations). Pages is a hybrid application, first released by Apple in February 2005, that allows users to perform both word processing and page layout tasks. A direct competitor to Microsoft Word (part of Microsoft's "Office" suite) it originally aimed to take a more simplistic approach to document creation and editing than Word, stripping out many of Word's more complex features.

Pages includes over 140 Apple-supplied templates to allow users to create common documents such as posters, newsletters, certificates, reports, brochures and formal letters - iWork "09 added support for a further 40 new templates. Pages can be used to create custom documents which include charts, tables, images, text boxes, shapes, equations and graphs. It incoporates most of the key features found in modern word processors, including the selection of fonts based on WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”), the use of headers, footers, page-breaks, footnotes, bulleted lists and support for automatically generating a table of contents. Pages also comes with the standard spelling and grammar checkers. Pages provides tools for collaboration through change-tracking and advanced commenting and feedback features.

Pages integrates well with other Apple applications - Since iWork "08 a media browser has been incorporated which allows users to drag and drop photos, movies and music from iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture and iMovie, and it is possible to link charts produced in Numbers to .pages documents so that they update when that data is changed. The version 4.2 release of Pages (in July 2012), added support for the auto-syncing of documents through iCloud , while the version 5.0 release (in October 2013) added online collaboration across Macs and iOS devices. The most recent major version is 5.5 released in November 2014, which was part of Apple"s iWork"14 release.
