[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1650355, member: 234411"] Hello - from Apple's KB articles the file formats supported in [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202227"]Pages[/URL] and in [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202226"]Numbers[/URL]. I would suggest experimenting w/ some sample Word & Excel files - just check in your documents folder to see what happens. Also, if the original Office files are important to maintain, then simply duplicate the file(s) in Finder and a 'copy' will be created - you can then use one or the other to work in Pages or Numbers. Also, in either app, when the 'File' menu option is opened only 'Save' is seen - press the Option key and 'Save As' will magically appear in which you can change the name of the file. Also files in Pages or Numbers format can be exported to their Office equivalents but you likely already know this option. If the Pages or Numbers files are in your documents folder and you then export them, an additional copy will be made w/ the appropriate file ending; again, just give a few a try - best way to learn. Pages cannot import PDF or RTF documents - PDFs are read in Preview (or another PDF reader) and TextEdit as stated above can manipulate the RTF files. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
