For years, I've been sending work to clients in MS Word .doc format by exporting from a Pages file. I've never received any complaints about formatting issues. Never.
Until today, that is. A client just told me she has the newest version of Word on her PC and that the document I sent her contained no bold or italic text. What I sent her, however, should have contained instances of both.
I write for a living, so it's really important to me that formatting issues like this disappear completely. Are Word document exports from Pages '09 somehow ill-equipped to be read on PCs with the latest version of Word? If so, should I bite the bullet and start using MS Word for Mac instead of Pages?
I'd be disappointed if I had to do that. Pages has been my no-frills, go-to WP for years...
