For a week now, anytime i try to email a doc created in Pages, the option to convert it to a Word doc doesn't work. I can send it as a Pages doc, I can send it as a PDF doc. But when I click the option to send it as a Word doc, the Pages app crashes. Any update in the works to solve this?

Have you tried terminating Pages and restarting it or restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Resetting solved it. Thanks.
Hi
I have been having exactly the same frustration with my iMac - I can export as .docx which produces the gibberish you found. But I cannot export as a simple .doc
As you found, pdf is fine, but cannot be edited at the other end.
Has anyone found a way to export Pages as a .doc
Please!!!!!!!
This thread was marked as solved back in February.
Yes there is something you can do to help yourself.
Start from a Template. Save as .docx, then in Finder open that file in Pages - it should open and look the same. Close the .docx. If all went well edit the Template, and as you go keep exporting / importing to check it is still working.
If you check microsoft's advice how to export to .pages they give the same advice (from word templates).
Your document format is what is causing the problem - the converter is tripping over something.
I am new to these versions myself and have some spacing (layout) issues I'm unsure how are best handle.
> no one knows it's plans
Except me and others, from years of coding, we dont need to see the plans to know what they do.
The plan is not to crash. However Pages and Word frequently change, their format does as well, and it's continually a problem for programmers to bridge the two. It's been a problem since the 1980's for both so it's nothing new.
There are things one editor supports the other doesn't (avoid these) - however crashes often occur when converting fonts to fit the converted spaces, because any small mistake with a font causes a crash. Start with font Arial, Times, Courier (ones that both have). Advance to others when your preening your final cut.
This question was solved 3 years ago and it concerns iOS, not OS X, for which fixes are totally different.
