[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1644006, member: 46727"] Unfortunately, there is no way to keep the Word format and do a "save as" in Pages. You have to do the export each time. Don't buy Mac Word 2011 (Office 2011) as it will cost around $95 discounted and it will soon be replaced. Microsoft is releasing the public beta of Mac Office 2015 in supposedly the first half of this year. (If you can believe MS.) It will be free to use as the beta. Mac Office 2015 will be released in the second half of the year but will cost $$$. In the meantime, why don't you download the free "Bean" application which is MS Word compatible and will save in the Word format as you're used to doing. Download the free Bean from [URL="http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html"]here[/URL]. If that doesn't work for you, download Open Office or LibreOffice (both free and MS Word compatible) BTW, nothing wrong with using Pages. It's a nice word processor and layout program as long as you do not need to maintain MS Word compatibility. [/QUOTE]
