Convert PAGES to Word online and see exactly what word-processing object-model rebuilding changes, what Word still can't promise, and how to verify the result.
Paragraphs, styles, sections, headers, tables, fields, and embedded objects are read from PAGES and mapped into the document model supported by Word. Pagination can move even when every word transfers. Pages input identifies word-processing versus page-layout mode before reconstructing sections, styles, text boxes, master objects, tables, comments, and media. Requesting the Word-labeled destination asks for an editable word-processing file, not any one guaranteed legacy version; verify the actual output against the required Word release.
Read structure - An Apple Pages document package containing word-processing or page-layout objects, styles, and media. Rebuilt structure - A generic request for an editable word-processing file, not one specific guaranteed Word version.

Before converting a whole batch, read the field guide to file formats; it explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for editable reports, letters, and styled text.
Designed for editable word-processing documents.
Compare in Pages and the target editor, checking mode, pagination, fonts, text boxes, tables, comments, and images.
Open the result in the exact Word version required and check pagination, styles, tables, links, and tracked changes.
Word-oriented conversion can alter Apple fonts, text boxes, master objects, tracked changes, and exact page-layout placement.
Which concrete file version gets produced, and how faithfully layout survives, both depend on the fonts installed and the backend's chosen format.
The writer builds a generic request for an editable word-processing file, not one specific guaranteed Word version and labels the result as application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
Choose Word when its editing, reflow, or reader support is more valuable than exact PAGES structure, and test the most complex page or chapter before committing.
