How do I read a PAGES file, please? ***COMPLETED***
« on: Wednesday 12 August 20 12:59 BST (UK) »
I'm using Windows 7 (I think!).

I've tried following the online advice, but it didn't seem to work.
I did open it in Notebook but it was just gobbledegook.

Hi

I have a Mac and could probably convert it to a readable format for you. I'll send you my e-mail and you could send it to me to convert.

Thanks, Gadget - have replied to your PM.

Is PAGES a Mac Format? If that's it, I'll ask the guys to send me a MS file ..

Yes it's Mac format. It's a bit like a utility version of MS Office  ;D

They should be able to export it to a range of formats.
