Word for Mac problems

[Bayer]

Hi, Friends!
I am using Word for Mac to translate a huge document, but after several hours of work, I am suddenly getting the awful spinning beachball, and it has really slowed down. I'm ready to scream with frustration!!

How easy is it to use Pages and convert the document to Word after it is done? Will I be able to duplicate the formatting and fonts? Has anyone tried doing this? If so, I would really appreciate your input.

Thanks!
