How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft word?

Hi Victoria,

Pages does not run on Windows.

Word cannot open a Pages file.

If you want someone without pages to be able to open your attachment, you will have to send it in a format openable on the recipient's computer.

If the recipient needs only to read the document, the most universal format is pdf. To send a pdf copy of your file, press command-P to open the Print dialogue, then click the PDF button and choose email PDF. This will open a new message in your default email client and attach the pdf file to that message.

If the recipient needs to be able to edit/change your document, and has MS Word, then either Save a copy as a Word file or go File > Export and choose Word as the file format for the export.

Be aware that MS Word does not support all features of Pages (and vice versa), and that formatting of the document may be affected by font substitution if you use fonts that are not available on the recipient's machine.

Regards,

Barry

Victoria,

If you want your Windows others to view only, Print to PDF and mail the PDF. If your Windows others must be able to edit, File, Export, Word. Mail the Word version of your doc.

From the File menu choose Export > then you will be presented with the option to save the document as a Word document which can be sent to your Windows user to open in Word, view and edit etc.
