Apple Pages '08 - Manual (Page 231)

Chapter 12 Printing and Exporting Your Document to Other Formats 231
 Plain Text: Plain text files can be opened and edited in a text editing application,
such as TextEdit. However, exporting to a plain text file removes all your formatting,
and images aren’t exported.
Saving a Document as a Previous iWork Version
You can save a Pages document so that users with an older version of iWork can open
and use the document.
To save a document in a previous iWork version:
1 Choose File > Save As, or choose File > Save.
2 Type a new name for the document in the Save As field.
3 Choose where you want to save the document.
4 Select “Save a copy as”, and choose the iWork version from the pop-up menu.
5 Click Save.
Users of Pages in iWork ’05 can open and use the document, but won’t have access to
the new iWork ’08 features. For example:
 Address Book fields and comments are removed.
 Endnotes are converted to footnotes.
 An image masked with a shape gets a rectangular mask.
 A curved or polygonal shape isn’t editable.
 A custom shape is converted to a shape.
 Formulas in table cells are removed, and the last calculated value is displayed.
 Number formatting isn’t supported, so the last calculated value is displayed with the
formatting directly applied.
 3D charts are converted to 2D charts.
Users of Pages in iWork ’05 and iWork ’06 can open and use the document, but won’t
have access to the new iWork ’08 features. For example:
 Change tracking isn’t supported, so all changes will be accepted.
 Headers and footers of a page layout document will not export if hidden.
 Different column settings within linked text boxes aren’t supported, so the first linked
text box’s settings will be used.
 Page layout documents will be exported as floating objects.
 Comments on text within a shape or table will be moved to the top level (on the
shape or table). Comments on a header or footer are dropped.
