Aug 26, 2016 1:23 PM in response to beartato327by VikingOSX,What explicit version(s) of Pages do you have installed on what specific version of OS X. I have a drag/drop AppleScript written that will convert Pages documents into Word docx. It is currently written for Pages v5.6.2.

Sep 18, 2016 10:41 PM in response to VikingOSXby JaShaEveSca,I have a similar problem. I need to convert thousands of .doc files to .docx (true XML, not "Compatibility Mode"), without losing formatting, tables, graphics, lists, etc. Please help!
Word 2011, Mac OS 10.9.5

Sep 18, 2016 11:23 PM in response to beartato327by PeterBreis0807,May I suggest that since these are historic files and you want faithful copies, print them all to pdf instead.
Pages to Word .doc/x is never going to be totally accurate and if you are changing permanently, reconstruct your documents in Word and start from those.

Sep 19, 2016 5:46 AM in response to JaShaEveScaby VikingOSX,Your most accurate approach would be to use Word 2016 for Mac, or its Word 2016 counterpart on Windows. The .doc files will be opened, and then resaved in .docx — in their native document formats — without translation into other word processing formats.
Word 2016 for Mac is AppleScript aware. Therefore, you should be able to automate the .doc to .docx conversion process.
