Solution 2:

Another option is to register for free to Apple's iCloud service (https://www.icloud.com/), upload your document there, and download it in either .docx or .pdf format. This of course less than ideal, but at least you can view the document. A more detailed step-by-step description of the process with screenshots can be found here. Unlike the previous solution based on Google Docs, in this case you need not convert the document... you can edit it online, and save it back as .pages, if you plan to work mostly in that format.
