Hello, If you open system preferences to the General screen, you will find a checkbox called "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" if you check this box, your file dialog will be more like how it is on a windows computer. In Macs by default, a lot of programs will automatically save your c

Hi Eric, I’ve never used the Move To option, but it seems to be pretty much the same as the Save As dialog, so I'm not sure what the difference is, but I am guessing a copy/second document is not created. When using the Rename option, focus is placed on the name in the title bar of the documen

In the File menu, if you hold down the OPTION key, the Duplicate command changes to Save As. Or, just use the keyboard command CMD + OPT + SHIFT + S for Save As while working in a document. HTH - Brad - On Apr 18, 2020, at 20:55, Eric Caron wrote: Hi Folks, I’m hoping a Pages use

It's best to send out all documents in PDF. The only people you should be sharing original MSWord or Pages documents with is someone else who you want to have editing privileges. In a PDF, all your formatting is locked by default. You might also think to create it in a common font, like Helvetic

Definitely keep it to PDF or .docx. In fact, I usually see job postings specify file formats, and .pages is never one of them. To do what you want, you choose Export rather than Save. From there, the process is the same as saving. Generally, you'd save a master copy in .pages format, then open

They can be opened. Keep in mind though, that if you're working from a word created template, some extra formatting may be required. Also, make sure you're using a windows compatible font. A lot of pc's don't have Helvetica. Egun On, Lagunak! Basque for G'day, Mates Louie P. (Pete) Nalda Http://

Depending on how fancy your formatting is you should be able to just go to File then Export and then either Word or RTF. Of course the conversion is never perfect because Word is a proprietary format and Microsoft isn't about to share details that would enable competition. Most text editors/wor
