[QUOTE="HungarianStan, post: 1650350, member: 345301"] So, had my Mac for a little more than a month now. Wondering a few things and hoping folks here might clear things up for me (for the record, been using both programs now and things are mostly fine; just a question or three for clarification): 1. Imagine I open a Word docx or Excel file. I type a bit. When I save it, I assume that it saves it as a Pages or Numbers document, and not in the original Word or Excel format, correct? 2. Assuming the above to be true, imagine, again, I open a Word or Excel document. I type a bit. I don't save the file as normal. Instead, I do the Export To... command. Does the computer save it in the format I specified (docx or xml) without my saving the file in Pages or Numbers format? Or do I have to save it first in Pages or Numbers, and THEN Export? 3. If I receive a .rtf from someone, can I set it up to open in Pages rather than TextEdit? Or am I crazy? Just some stuff in my head as I wrangle with a new system. I'm using it for all my home and professional needs, and I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything the hard way or something too silly. [/QUOTE]
