Recently, my friend meet a problem: She has an Apple computer and use iWork Pages to type in all contents. Now she need to send it to someone who are using a Windows computer in which only has Microsoft Word installed. How to convert Apple iWork Pages from Mac to Microsoft Word on Windows? Here are two ways for reference:
First, save the Pages document to Microsoft Word before sending
Actually, the Mac user can easily export the Apple Pages file to Microsoft Word compatible .doc document.
1. Open the Pages document, go to File, click Export from the menu list.
2. There are several output file formats and PDF is the default one, you can click and choose Word, then click Next.
3. Give a new to the Microsoft Word or just leave it as Pages document, click Export to export the Pages to Microsoft Word.
This is a way you can use to export the iWork Pages file to Microsoft Word before sending it to others. But if you are the receiver who does not have Apple iWork Pages, you need to use a converter to do this.
