Using Pages Documents with Microsoft Word, Open Office, etc

The most annoying thing about pages is that it saves all your documents as .pages which can only be read by Pages. To be able to use your documents in other applications, you can export them to to a more widely accepted format by going to file->export, then choosing a format. I recommend either RTF or .doc (Word) because they work with everything. When emailing long documents, it is more common to use PDF
