How to Transfer Documents from Mac to Windows PC

If you use Microsoft Office for Mac, all your documents, worksheets, and presentations are already compatible with Office for Windows. However, if you have files in Apple’s iWork format (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), you must convert those files to an Office-compatible format. You can convert files easily on your Mac or the web via iCloud.

How to Convert iWork Files to Microsoft Office Files

To view your iWork Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files in Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you need to convert them.

On your Mac:

1. Open your files in the corresponding iWork app and select File > Export To.
2. Select the applicable Office format (for example, Pages to Word). You may also select a compatible format such as plain text, EPUB, or PDF.
3. Once converted, copy the files over to your PC as described previously.

Or from iCloud:

1. If your documents are on iCloud, you can convert your iWork files over the internet.
2. Log in to your account at iCloud.com and select the iWork apps.
3. Select the desired file to open it.
4. Click the wrench icon from the toolbar at the top of the document.
5. Select Download a Copy and the option to convert the file to the applicable Office format.
