Currently, you cannot do what you are attempting. Pages is designed to work in pages format. When one is completely finished with the document, one then exports it to word format should one desire to do so. This is all part of the competition between Apple and Microsoft for the office spaces of the world. I do not expect it to change any time soon considering Apple's new data continuity initiative where data will transfer seamlessly between Apple products.
I remember how people had very similar complaints when Word's .doc format started encroaching on the then dominant Word Perfect. Given Apple's unparalleled commitment to universal access, I hope they are successful and unseat MS Word.
