I would like to add a small correction here. At least with the version of Pages I have, I am able to save Word documents in 97/2003 format (.doc). In TextEdit, I can save documents in .docx format.
What neither Pages nor TextEdit can handle is complex formatting with Word documents.

Id rather not open windows to do it but apparently pages cant do this as standard. Is there a plugin or something that i can use to get this working? >> Greetings, Anouk, >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
