To remove OneDrive as the default save location, find and check the box labeled Save to Computer by Default. This will tell Word, Excel, or PowerPoint that you want your documents to be saved to.
I have switched from Microsoft Office on my Mac OS X system to Apple’s iWorks package, which works great except every so often someone complains that my files are in.pages format, not.doc, which is what they want to see. I can’t see how to save a file in Pages as an MS Word doc file, but I know it can be done. I also migrated on my Mac from MS Office to iWorks and haven’t looked back in the eight months or so since. Certainly Keynote is a huge improvement over PowerPoint, and my Keynote presentations look so much better I am kind of embarrassed it took me so long to switch, but Pages is a splendid replacement for Word too, and so far, for me, offers 100% of the functionality and capability I need. Even better, as I bet you’ve found out, you can open.doc files created by Microsoft Word in Pages without a problem. Saving Pages docs in Word format, however, isn’t quite as obvious as you may imagine, because it’s not a “Save As” it’s an “Export”.
Let me show you Open up your Pages document, then choose “Export” from the File menu: Chose that and you’ll see that there are a bunch of formats you can create: The default is a PDF document. Easy, straightforward. Click on “Word” and you’ll see: No options, just click on “Next” and you’ll be able to type in the doc name you desire: Enter a good name, add “.doc” if you think it’ll make it easier for the recipients, and click “Export”. Now you have a “.doc” file on your computer that’s a Microsoft Word friendly version of your document. Hi, I hope you can help me, I’ve done just that exporting process with a college project which is saved in pages format and every time I export as a word document it says the “characters borders aren’t supported and were removed”. Now, this file is text only, no pictures, graphs, anything, just plain text.
It’s a college paper so there is no fancy borders, actually NO borders whatsoever. And the problem is some text just gets out of its place, titles that were supposed to be on the next page are on the page before, quotations that are supposed to be 4 or 7,5 cm from the margin aren’t. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Exporting to pdf seems to present no problem, but I have to hand in a doc. Copy, not a pdf.

Thank you, Lucas. I would like to use Apple Pages in a typical MSOffice environment (an Italian law office) and I always experience a huge problem: exporting to word seems to work well but, when my coworkers try to print the doc I created, even after modifying it, the printer acts funny.

The page seems to be created in an horizontal format, with only a few (huge) lines per page. Changing the page format seems to solve the problem, but: 1. I can’t ask my coworkers (computer dummies) to do such a “difficult” thing every time. The problem is not visible from inside any word processor I tried, so it’s not easy to find what docs are affected.
If you can help me, even with a private mail, I will be really greateful.
