Import files in Pages

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Any way to import Pages documents? Word documents are okay; but Pages files are grayed out when you try to import them.

Unfortunately not (for reasons lying with Apple rather than with us) - please see my blog post explaining this here:

(Look about halfway down, for “iWork Pages Integration”.)

In short, the .pages format is proprietary and Apple don’t make it available in any way, shape or form to third-party developers, so no one outside of Apple can read or write to that format. I wish it were otherwise, as this is the only major word processor format that Scrivener can’t read…

All the best,

Thanks - too bad, but your explanation makes sense.
