Convert DOCX to PAGES

.docx

Microsoft Office

DOCX – is a standard extension that includes the test content of the document, pictures, painted objects, styles, and other elements. It replaced the obsolete format .doc in 2007 and is used to work with Microsoft Word documents. The format allows you to work with different content based on many tools that automate the creation and editing processes. For the correct display of the DOCX files in obsolete versions of Word, you need to install a special compatibility package. It helps to convert text content to DOC format.

The DOCX extension is written in XML markup language and includes many document elements stored as separate files combined into one archived ZIP file. The appearance of such a format confirms the transition of Microsoft Office suite software solutions to the Open XML international standard. Therefore, the extension is supported by many open source applications, for example, LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer.

.pages

Apple iWork

Pages is a word processing software application developed in 2005 and has gone through changes, with a more recent version released in 2020. Pages form part of the iWork productivity suites and are supported by different operating systems developed by Apple Inc. The primary goal for its development was to make concepts in Microsoft simpler. The pages' users are provided with more than 140 templates to do some common tasks, but it also allows its users to develop their documents. Pages are designed such that it works well with other programs and is usable with minimum effort. The version created in 2007 supports DOCX and related files, and so have other versions since then.

There are no official publications by apple on file specifications. Techniques like reverse engineering were employed in the version released in 2009 to include additional features. Files created using the past Pages version cannot be viewed using the latest versions, and it is necessary first to convert them before use. As of 2012, Pages stopped supporting the open Document file type, and this is to say that the files can only be viewed using Pages, Google Docs, and Jumpshare. The files cannot be edited using Jumpshare or Google docs, but instead, the two allow viewing and saving the document. Google Docs allows conversion of the file to the PDF format for printing.
