Given all the grumbling I've seen about the new Pages (haven't used it myself), I suspect others have sought to answer the same question. Any suggestions? Pages 5 is one of the more useless apps that I’ve ever seen released by anyone, much less Apple. DataViz used to have an app which would batch-convert various files. It was quite useful back in the day, but I think it’s dead now. Is there a currently available app which could batch convert from Pages format (Pages 09 or Pages 5 or both) to a more commonly used format (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .odt, etc) so that they’re usable in something other than Pages 5? Assuming, that is, that there is something else out there that isn’t Word or LibreOffice. MacLinkPlus Deluxe. I was a happy owner of that for years. Haven't heard of it in forever, and it doesn't appear to have been updated in at least that long. Last version died with the passing of Rosetta.
