Converting to Word format doesn't work in latest Pages.
Since the latest update, Pages can't make Word format documents, or it takes ages to make one. Tried on iPad mini3, air2, both iOs 9.0.1. Any advice?

Update to 9.0.2. If appears to fix this.
I have 9.0.2, and documents still won't convert. Also, in 9.0.2, Docusign has ceased to appear in Pages as an option under "open in another app."
But that doesn't really matter because I can't convert to a Word file anyway.
Try a forced restart: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the restart.
I do know that 9.0.2 fixed the iworks file conversion fro most users (for everyone I personally know that used them and many folks posting on the forum).
Docusign I can't address. you might try contacting the vendor.
I have done more hard restarts than you can shake a stick at. They have no effect. I am right now deleting and reinstalling Pages and will follow that with yet another hard restart. My guess is it still won't work. My wife is waiting for permission from her company to update to iOS 9 and all these functions still work fine on her 5s. Only on my fancy iPhone 6 do I have these crippling malfunctions.
For others having this problem:
I deleted and reinstalled Pages, forced a hard reboot of iOS 9, and tried to do a sample Word conversion of a random document. Pages hung up with the status bar at about 15 percent complete.
i laid the phone down and worked on something else. It took almost an hour but finally Pages managed the conversion.
Now every conversion Pages-->Word is effortless and instantaneous. I don't know what Pages had to think through, but it now works.
Time will tell.
