Opening a Document from Another Application
You can create a new Pages document by importing a document created in another
application, such as Microsoft Office 2007 or AppleWorks. Pages can import the
following file formats: plain text (.txt), Rich Text Format (.rtf and .rtfd), AppleWorks 6
word processing (.cwk), and Microsoft Word (.doc).
As much as possible, Pages preserves the original document’s text, colors, layout, and
other formatting options.
From Microsoft Word, you can import styles, tables, inline and floating objects,
charts, footnotes and endnotes, bookmarks, hyperlinks, lists, sections, change tracking,
and more.
From AppleWorks, you can import word processing documents only.

Pages document.
You can also export Pages documents to Microsoft Word (.doc), PDF, Rich Text Format

Formats” on page 256 for details.
