There is a difference between the latest and older versions of Pages in how the algorithms for exporting data to Word are implemented. Not principled, but capable of confusing the neophyte of the Mac computer empire, so the first rule is to update on time. Apple is not in vain to meet users halfway, now the software package, which includes Pages, is free (for users of new computers) – there should be no problems with downloading and installing. The following instructions describe the process of exporting the latest version of Pages data to a .doc or .docx file.

How to save Pages files as Word (doc, docx) on Mac
1. Launch Pages, open the desired document, which must be saved to 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 are looking for the same “Word”…
3. Pages will open another window in which in the tab “Word” we are interested in the section “Extra options”indicated by a triangle.

5. The final step – it remains to come up with the name of the new file, type the desired combination and press the button “Export”…
