Is it possible to use pages on a PC. I use a Mac and my assistant uses a PC. I need to have him create and edit Pages documents.
No, and no Windows application will handle that format natively.

What is the best solution? i create brochures in Pages and need my assitant to create brochure on his PC.
Export as Word or PDF & send that to your assistant.
Exporting is not the problem. Microsoft wont edit the pages documnet...thats the problem...
If you export as Word/.doc you will be able to edit in Word on a PC or any computer with Word.
Why would you go to all that trouble to export to xml and then convert that to .txt when Pages can directly export to .txt?
Also what is this with Keynote and Numbers being in jpeg?

I doubt there are Pages files floating around that the recipient can't just ask the despatcher to export them in a readable form. Just as MsPublisher users don't, and shouldn't, assume the recipient has Publisher to open their files.
Extracting even the pdf preview has limited usage, any jpeg previews almost zero and I think Apple has stopped packaging the documents like they used to on the basis that random pointless change is what has made the Mac the dominant operating systemn that it is.

Hi Jay
It may be a bit redundant now as considering the time that's gone past I'm sure you've found a solution. However I had the same question as you, and stumbled upon this thread. I've since discovered that using icloud allows you to download Pages files as word documents which can then be edited.
I have pages on my Ipad, and word 2013 on my PC and this is what I do. The formatting isn't exactly perfect, (some of the colours don't match exactly ie. are a shade lighter) but it's the best option I have found so far.
Cheers,
Karen.
