While I'm eager to complete my switch over to iWork from Office, I still have several documents I've been working on that are *.doc files. Is there anyway to speed up or automate Pages' export process so that saving *.doc files is as easy as saving *.pages files?
Got a tip for us?

Are you trying to open existing Word document files automatically in Pages, or export them from Pages to Word documents?
I'm trying to export them, and I'd like the process to be faster (one click or auto-exported if possible).
Possibly an AppleScript could be created to do this, but that's not my forté, and I wonder how many clicks you'd save since exporting is really only two or three.
What I did was simply mapped Export to 
-E, and if Word format is the last chosen, then you simply hit Enter to select it again. You can do that mapping in System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Just make sure you type the command in exactly as it appears in the menu (don't recall if it's "Export" or "Export...").

Excellent solution. Very nice.
