Pages

[exgarymac]

I have searched the forum and cannot find an answer to my problem.
I have migrated many WORD Docx files to my Macbook Pro El Capitan (10.11.3) with Pages 5.6.1(2562).
I can access my files but when I update and "save" I found that the file has not been saved.
I use the drop down save box and would really like to convert all the Docx files to PAGES format for future use.
I think that by using "save" from the drop down it should save the file in PAGES format, but if so I cannot find the new format file either - hence my updates are lost.

Any advice welcome, please.

Look in iCloud under Pages. For reasons unknown, if you try to open a .docx, and then save it in Pages, Apple defaults to your iCloud storage (assuming you have iCloud set up). I prefer Pages myself but that thing gets on my nerves. If you find it there, you can just move it to whatever folder you want. If you want it in iCloud AND another folder, then right-click on the file, Copy it, then Paste into the folder you want.

If it isn't that (Pages auto-saving into iCloud) then I haven't a clue.

I don't use iCloud.

I'm not sure I understand what's going on or what you're doing, but I have converted many *.docx files to the Pages format without any problem at all. I do not like to convert Word files to Pages because Pages bloats the files and makes them somewhat incompatible with other users of Office. However, having said that, the Word files are saved without difficulty to Pages format.

Hello - I also have a MBPro w/ the same OS X & same version of Pages - just brought a *.doc file into Pages and then chose the 'Save' menu item - the document had the *.pages extension and did save as such in my 'Documents' folder (see the double arrow on the screen capture below) - just a silly question, are the changed files being saved in the same folder?
