Can Pages templates be used in Word?

Is there a way to port/transfer the Pages templates to Word so that I can use them there and so that other users of Word can have access to them?
 
Well you can load up one of the templates in Pages then Export it to Word

Of course the Word version doesn't appear the same
 
Hmm, I read a review of Pages that said that the export to Word function worked flawlessly. Is this not the case? Note: I haven't tried it myself, I was just hoping that you knew from experience. 😕

Exporting templates and documents are two very different operations. Apple has said documents will work. They said nothing about templates.

Exactly, I'm using Pages for my word proccessing work to test it out and my documents have come out working in Word and looking pretty much the same

The thing with templates is that they were designed for Pages so Pages has a feature or two that the templates need to show it properly
 
I just tried it. Exported "Redwoods" template to "documents". Opened Word and opened "other">documents>exported template. It displays differently, but with font adjustments, seems to be functional.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just want to be able to export documents such as typed reports and whatnot. Looks like I should be able to do that fine. Thanks again. 🙂
