Can anyone help? Ray Bright Yes. Save as HTML in Word, re-save as a doc or docx, open using Word both for HTML. And doc. Most of the formatting will be preserved. This is useful of you want to edit. If you do not want to change a thing but the size, you can reprint the PDF and stretch to fit, or not stretch to fit and just have bigger margins. |

The file I have was created in Mac Pages, it's a .docx, standard formatting. I made all the changes for CS, and saved that file, the I have today. I know there's a way in Pages to simply change everything back, but I've spent 20hrs to find that way. It was simple to make those changes, gotta be just as simple to put them back. I do intend to edit this file. I assume staying in Pages for the entire process is best.
I want to key my tabs.
This is the only file version I have for this novel, published four years ago. I'm sentimental.

I'm sentimental. I don't use Pages but twice I had the same client send me a Pages file to format. I used a program online to convert to .doc, then formatted. I also think the file type in itself is not accepted by most PODs. But since you found a way to do it, it's useful. Tell us the way you found to make it work. |

Docx and .doc appear to me to be interchangeable, your operating system recognized the difference and opens it in what ever app you have, Windows Word, Mac Pages. There's no difference, in effect.
