document will not export to word

I had a similar problem. I discovered that it would export fine from the iOS version of Pages. It does not answer your question but might give you a work around.

Hi Julia,

Are you using File > Export > Word... ?

In iOS Pages (iPad) under the spanner top right, you have an email

Option allows you to convert to Word

Hi Julian,

This is the OS X Pages discussion area, and Julia's profile shows she's an OS X user.

It's nice to know what to do in the iOS version, so thanks for that.

Hi Jerrold

My point was that when faced with the same problem on the MAC the simplest work around I found was to give upmwith the MAC and use Pages on the iPad. Given that Pages on the MAC currently has problems exporting to ePub it could be that there are problems in other areas of the exporting function.

There have been other very illustrated posts in the Pages community that have exported large books into ePub from Pages and swear by it, not at it. It involved purposeful planning and technique.

To assume that the Pages ePub and Word export functions are manifestly flawed by association is hasty logic. There will be no guarantees of 100% export compatibility with MS Word.

And if we are sufficiently fortunate to receive a major update to Pages, perhaps it will bear even more professional features.

Yes I've used it with success. Currently several of us have an issue with exporting ePubs containing videos, but yes I accept that I have no evidence of a link. When I sported using iOS pages it opened in Word without problems.

I know it's not helpful, but I had the same problem, and after some days it simple restart working ¬¬'
