Modify Pages files by changing package contents
Authored by: peragrin on Mar 09, '05 02:12:19PM

Unlike most word processor documents, Pages' (part of iWork) files are actually packages.

.Doc files, MSFT Word
.Sxw files, Open office

I don't know the format for .doc's but .sxw files from open Office are zip files.

just take any open office document add .zip to the end, and open it.

And .doc files are an abomination in anyone's eyes :-)

Cool! I didn't know you could do that with Open Office files. Still, are there any other word processors that use the Macintosh file packaging scheme (i.e. can you ctrl-click on the file and view its contents)?
