How can I save a Pages document as .docx?

Solution 1:

This does seem to be a missing feature. As I see it, you have two options:

1. Export as *.doc using File -> Export. While not ideal, I imagine almost everything that supports *.docx also supports *.doc.

2. TextEdit is able to save as *.docx. Of course this is only really an option if your formatting is simple.

Solution 2:

1. Open the file you want to export in Pages.

2. Select all; Copy

3. Create a new, empty file in TextEdit and save it with the name you want as a .docx file.

4. Open the file in Pages

5. Paste your content into the .docx file

6. Save the .docx file

(Or create an automator workflow to do all this, if you find yourself doing it often)
