Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
As an editor I have to open word-docs in pages and to translate them back to word for my co-editors. This went reasonably well, but now and then I struggle with the step pages>word. The file gets corrupted in an unpredictable way; sometimes half of the content has gone. This happens mostly when features like 'track changes' or 'remarks' have been used.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.
Pages and Word are mostly compatible but not all features are supported. Please refer to the following document for more information: Pages - Compatibility - Apple

Personally, I would stop using Pages and use Word instead.
If that isn't possible for economic reasons, I would use Libre Office which is more compatible with Word: https://www.libreoffice.org/
or try using the free Microsoft Office on the web: https://products.office.com/en-us/free-office-online-for-the-web
If your co-editors are using Word, then you should be too, and eliminate document translation that occurs twice when round-tripping Word documents. With Word, your entire editing process would be in Word's native document format, and there would be no further shared content surprises.
Since your time has value, too many interruptions dealing with translation issues could pay for MS Office.
