LWP at a glance
LWP
Convert to LWP when maintaining compatibility with Lotus-era document archives or when an inherited repository still depends on Word Pro files.
In most modern contexts the practical task is to open, preserve, or migrate LWP documents into DOCX, ODT, or PDF.
Use LWP only when the surrounding workflow truly still depends on it.
PAGES at a glance
PAGES
Convert to PAGES when the recipient is expected to continue editing the document in Apple Pages, especially in Mac- and iPad-centered teams, classrooms, or template-driven iWork workflows.
It is useful for brochures, reports, flyers, and general documents that benefit from Pages' blend of writing and visual layout.
For broader cross-platform collaboration, DOCX or PDF are often easier handoff formats.
