Convert text from PAGES to MS WORD

When converting indented text from my PAGES text to MS WORD the following problem occurs:


In PAGES I may have indented text, such as


Hello

customary hyphen: - Hello


In both above cases, the converted MW WORD text this will appear with standard bullet points as you can see below:

    • Hello
    • Hello


How can I get a 1:1 conversion as per my original PAGES text? Thanx.

Apple does not guarantee a 1:1 translation from Pages document format to MS Word document format. Entirely different applications and Pages was not designed to be a Word clone.


You might alleviate Word automatically creating a bulleted list by disabling Word : Preferences : AutoCorrect : AutoFormat as you Type. That has a checkbox to Automatic bulleted lists. Try deselecting that.
