Why these files won't open
Pages, Numbers and Keynote files are packages made for Apple's apps. Word, Excel and PowerPoint can't read them, so Windows shows an unknown file.
Most of these files carry a ready-made preview inside them. Think Pages pulls it out and turns it into a PDF you can read, print and share.

How to open a Pages file on Windows
- Save the .pages, .numbers or .key file from the email or message.

Tips
