Yes, you can download your file and then send it to whoever you want.

That is incorrect. This is not a trial version unless you sign up for a trial version for the paid package. There’s a free version and that is what you have to sign up for. Follow the steps in the video.

I think the simple answer to that is that they only need Microsoft Office on rare occasion and don’t want to spend any money at all in order to do that. That’s my exact use case.

@ Probably right. I’d be happy paying $40 a year for the convenience.

Thank you for the feedback

Yes, you can download your files to your MacBook from the Microsoft storage.

Thank you for the reply.

It's actually quite common for companies to give 5 GB of storage for free. It's a drop in the bucket for them. Then if you want to upgrade for more features and space, then you do it. If you don't want to... then you don't. No tricks involved unless they start asking for credit card numbers and you aren't clear why. With the online MS Office, it's pretty clear that you can maintain the free account as long as you want and have that 5 GB of space. I, for one, would never come close to filling even a fraction of that because I only need Office for the occasional use case.

Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for doing that. But what prompted you to say that here?

@@EverydayApple1984because I'm getting some problem in a VM machines and due to my poor background country, I can't even buy the MS packages or other paid software easily. 🇳🇵

I love that question! I don’t know off the top of my head but I’m going to do a little bit of research and I’ll reply again.

Thanks for the feedback

It’s not a trial, but of course they could change the way it works any time, so I hesitate to use the word, “lifetime”.

What trouble are you having? Be sure you follow the steps in the video!

Glad to hear! Thanks 🙏🏼

Can you believe it? I’m not a serious gamer though… just Minecraft, Eve Online, and No Man’s Sky.

To insert a shape, you have to go to the Insert menu, and choose "Drawing". Then you can create shapes. To edit them, you have to right-click on them and choose "Edit Drawing". It's a little clunky, but you can insert and format shapes.

What do you find annoying? Just curious... Some people just prefer a laptop or desktop computing experience, I know.

Yes, it’s similar, though I prefer the results in Keynote. Also, it is worth noting that the Morph feature is exclusive to subscription-based Microsoft 365 versions, not if someone bought the standalone office suite.

Hi Valerie - Sounds like a scenario that may need a few minutes with an Apple Support rep to help you sort that out. I'm not sure without looking at it why you would have some of these documents greyed out if you are signed in to iCloud on all devices. Good luck!

Apple does not offer Pages for the Windows operating system. Pages is designed exclusively for macOS and iOS. However, you can use the iCloud website to access Pages via a web browser on Windows. Just sign in with your Apple ID, and you can create, edit, and download Pages documents directly in your browser (or export them as Word docs.)

Use the File menu and click "Save..." Then in the resulting dialog window, you'll get to choose where you want it to go. I recommend saving it to your Pages iCloud folder, which should show in your sidebar in that window. If you don't use iCloud, just drop it into your Documents folder.

Some AI features are already in place with 18.1, but others are coming with 18.2 and beyond. Though many features are only functional with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

True, if that's something you have use for on a more regular basis. For me, it's once in a blue moon, so I just jump on to office.com at those times.

Thanks for the feedback

LOL... That must have been a difficult 22 seconds for you while it was actually visible. 😅

@@EverydayApple1984Don’t people moan about some stupid things ? 🤷‍♂️. They should be grateful you’re giving up your time to help others. I appreciate it as do many others going by the comments here.

@ConstableHandsy Thank you! 🥰

There’s a big difference, and you should definitely go with the free education plan with your valid student ID. With that, you get the full desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, and Publisher. Plus, 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage. Take advantage of that student ID while you have it!

@@EverydayApple1984 gottcha. With student id version we get to install the office app into our system+1tb of onedrive, where as the regular free version just gives the Microsoft office 360 services online with 5gb of the onedrive.

You should login with your school/university email bc they might offer the full suite to you for free meaning the school could possible have bought office for you

same feeling 🥲

No need to download anything. You can just convert your Pages document and save it in the Word format. If you want to check how it looks in word, you can just use MS Office online and upload it there to see how it looks. No need to download Word.

@@EverydayApple1984 thank you very much

If you go to office.com you should see a link underneath the two rectangular buttons. The link says "Sign up for the free version of Microsoft 365". I double checked today in a private browser window where I am not already signed in to Microsoft and it's there. Take a look at the :45 mark of my video to see that link. Once you sign up for an account through there, you can use the free web version of Office 365.

Sorry for the late reply, but if you go to the Sound section of Settings, you'll see a toggle near the top that says, "Change with Buttons". Give that a try.

You can dictate into a document using the built-in dictation features in the Mac. To make sure it’s turned on just go to your system settings, and search dictation to get to the right spot. You can turn it on there and set whatever keyboard combination you want. Good luck! 👍🏼

You make a good point -- I should have included more paragraph formatting. I'll be sure to include that in the next Pages video I do. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I think about it the same way at this point.

I should have said it out loud! I use keyboard commands without even thinking about it often. To undo, you hold down Command and press Z. Thanks for watching!

@@EverydayApple1984 Thank you!

Pages. Numbers, Keynote

I always prefer Apple Pages, but this video is for people who need/want to use MS Office, but don't want a paid subscription for it. FYI That message you saw is just saying that if you choose to use their "contacts, passwords, favorites, browsing history, and photos and files" services that those things will be available to your wherever you log in to use MS services. It doesn't mean that those things are somehow publicly accessible.

@@EverydayApple1984 Thank you for your reply!

@@Äpple-pie-5k I have discovered that the open source LibreOffice is a great alternative as well.

Yes, LibreOffice is a good option too and I've explored that in the past!

Wish I could help! I don't know enough about Pages running on Windows to be of any assistance in this situation. I guess I'd recommend verifying that you are signed in to Apple iCloud on that computer so your files are syncing, but there's no way for me to know if that's the actual problem.
