Pages imports and exports Word .DOC files or .RTF files. They work
perfectly in Word. The technical writing I'm doing now requires either
the company's home-grown editing suite or plain text. I distribute
articles and other collateral produced for pay with Acrobat PDF files
(exported from Pages). I have no need of Word.
The Times wouldn't accept PDF files, nor would most of the other pubs I work
for. They want a Word doc that opens in Word. But if you don't need it, that's
fine.
If you save in RTF format and change the file extension (not the
actual format) to .doc you'll find Word opens it without so much as a
hiccup.
(BTW: I'm using Word 97. There's nothing I need a word processor to do
that it can't do. In fact, I'd still be using Word 95 except that it
doesn't support the mouse scroll wheel.)
and I thought I was being a Luddite using Word 2000, OK, I've got word
2003 on my laptop but there's nothing I need that 2000 doesn't do.
