 Word to iWork I was told when I purchased iWork '08 it was compatible with MS. I tried opening a Word doc and it would not open in iWord. The trial Word program opened instead. I would like to bypass all MS programs and just use iWork. Is there something that I have to do in order for this to happen or I am still stuck with having to use MS? Thank for you help! Rick  |

| Try the free NeoOffice and see if that works. Plus remember you can make any program try to open a file by doing a Get Info on the file and selecting what program to open the file with.

| Or, you can try dragging and drop the file on the Pages application icon. Pages should then attempt to open the file.

| Another problem I just found out about. Again the salesman said iWork 08 can be viewed by Word users. I emailed a resume to a friend and they could not open it. Am I going to have to buy the Word program for MAC? Thanks for your help. Rick |

| Yes, MS Word _can_ view documents created by Pages '08. But, not the default Pages format document. You have to export that document, choosing MS Word from the File/Export menu. Pages can easily open and modify a Word document, even the newest .docx format that MS Word uses now, but you have to export a Pages document to have something that MS Word can use.
