Where should I be storing my documents?
07/04/25
When I recently was helping him attach a recommendation document to a website for a student it appeared that family member does not save his documents to his hard drive?? but only in iCloud? That was bizarre to me, but didn't have the time to delve into that at the time. I want to make sure with his new computer he follows a regime with proper privacy and storage considerations in mind.😬 PLease help.

Younger people than us only use the cloud to store their documents. Google docs, etc…. But us old schoolers still feel like we want copies locally. It’s matter of understanding the wording in the finder when you go to save a document. Not too hard to explain. It’s a common issue. Google docs, Office using OneDrive, Pages using iCloud, Dropbox or local. I can help clear that all up.

Can I use Pages to send to Word users?

Scotty: I am trying to send the attached document to individuals who are not able to open it. Is there a way to convert it to Word? Or should I just got to the UPS Store print it then scan it in so people can read it. This is being sent through my laptop and it is converting documents to the apple programs. I know we talked about this when you were here but I can’t remember what I should do.

Looks like you’re using Pages to edit the document. You CAN save it as a word document in Pages before you send it. Pages has a function built in that allows you to send it as a .doc document. In the menu bar, with Pages open, look for the word “Share”. Then select email a copy. Lastly chose to share a word doc. That should do it.
The difference between word and pages is the extension it uses. (The suffix). Example: project.pages. vs project.doc
