Hi Adrian, In Dropbox there is an "Open In" button that lets you send imported documents to Pages or iBooks or other apps you have installed. Select the document in Dropbox, then in the Menu bar there is a ‘curved arrow’ on far right . Click on the arrow ‘Open In’ Pages.
Once you’ve done this, Pages imports the document and displays a message listing any changes made during the process, such as font replacements. After editing a document in Pages, you must export it before you can open it in Word on your Mac. To do this, tap My Documents (with your iPad in portrait orientation) and then tap the arrow icon under the document’s name. To e-mail the document to yourself, tap Send Via Mail, and then Word. To transfer it via iTunes, tap Export, and then Word. Attach your iPad to your Mac with a USB cable, open iTunes, select your iPad, and click on the Apps tab. Select Pages in the list under File Sharing, and then drag the exported document to your Desktop.
