Hello Carolyn,
While it's true that TextEdit saves documents in their original format, it
isn't a fully-fledged word processor and you can lose important formatting.
Headers, for instance, get grouped together at the end of the document, and any
styles not supported by TextEdit are lost.
This
Text Edit is great for basic stuff, but the word format it supports is really
only rich text format. This is fine for being able to read the contents of a
word document but most formatting will be lost.

Ricardo,
Someone was asking if what i meant was that pages didn't export to word at all,
and anne replied saying that no i was complaining quote unquote that it didn't
export or gave anoption by default to export to word. Name dropping for the
sake of name dropping is not in my coolbook.

Hello Yuma,
Why should it b possible to save Pages documents in Word format? After all,
IWork is an office suite in its own right. You can't save MS Word documents in
Pages format, not even by exporting.
I think Pages is exceptionally flexible in the formats to which it can export:
PDF, Word,
Can Pages not export to MS Word? I was just about to purchase this from the
app store as I need to edit and save word documents.

Hello Chris,
Yes, Pages can create MS Word documents. Yuma was complaining that you can't
set Pages to save as MS Word by default as you work on a document, you have to
export to Word when you're done.
You always end up with a Pages document and a new document in the format to

Ok quick question, when interacting with say the toolbar or scroll area etc,
how do you get back to the page you wish to edit? So far I have hit the tab
key to take me back there but not sure if that is the best way. Otherwise when

Yes Anne, It bothers me that i can't have a default document format to save to.
You seem rather defensive about it, and i understand your fandom of Apple, but
sometimes there are features i'd like to have things done so i don't need to go

Hello Chris,
Yes, Pages can create MS Word documents. Yuma
If you want a default format to save too, and you are not happy that the
default format for pages is pages, then why not use Word? Microsoft Word is
the only word processor that has a default .doc type. If you were to use any
other word processor you would have to either save as or export. If
Damn, you're thick. I don't use office, nor windows. You still don't get it?

Yep, that's the right way to say it. I need more sugar in my coffee and less

The solution as you stated it, would be to have office on my mac, but
unfortunately the lack of accessibility will not make it happen for a while.

Hey list,
Is there no way to tell pages i don't want to freaking save the file in pages
format?
All of my correspondents are windows users and when i do things for myself, i
leave it as pdf as final document.
Ok, i guess there's the preferences, just a guess, which might allow me to
untick
You can save as rtf, I think! So windows users can open the file. Heather
