You can save a Pages document so that users with iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word can open and use the document.

To save a document for use with iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word:

  1. Choose File > Save As, or choose File > Save.

  2. Type a new name for the document in the Save As field.

  3. Choose where you want to save the document.

  4. Select “Save a copy as,” and choose iWork ’08 or Word Document from the pop-up menu.

  5. Click Save.

Users of Pages in iWork ’08 can open and use the document, but won’t be able to use the new Pages ’09 features. For example:

  • Tracking changes to tables and floating objects isn’t supported, so those changes will be accepted.

  • Mail merge from a Numbers document isn’t supported, so those mail merge fields will export as text.

  • Viewing the document as an outline isn’t supported.

  • Viewing the document in full-screen view isn’t supported.

  • Password protection for your document isn’t supported.
