[Sophie Trist]

Can files created in pages and/or TextEdit be converted into word documents? If not, can they be read by non-Apple computers?

I talked to a blind friend, and he said that microsoft word didn't work well with VoiceOver. My dad bought me the program for Christmas, and I would appreciate getting some of your opinions before I install it. Thanks in advance for any input. I hope all of you had a merry, merry Christmas!
