Recently created a partition on my Mac to run Windows. Now I'm stuck on the Windows partition and can no longer access the Mac side. When I spoke to support, they told me the only option was to reformat. There are Pages documents on the Mac side that I need to access though. I purchased recovery software to try and obtain these, it did locate all my photographs and music, but there are no "pages" documents. Any advice?

1. Did you install Bootcamp drivers on the Windows side? Check Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp -> select OSX and Reboot.
or
2. Power cycle you Mac and hold the Alt key, and select OSX if available.
Unfortunately I did try that but the partition doesn't show up as an option in the startup even after updating the drivers.
Use OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support and boot from this external disk. Once it is up and running, please post the output of the following Terminal commands.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
The "sudo" command will prompt you for you password, it will not be echoed back to you. It will also warn you about improper use and potential data loss due to "abuse".
