It always says "may be corrupt."

    Unfortunately there is no way for you to open a Pages document in MS Word as it just doesn't support the file type. If viewing the file is sufficient you can:

    1. rename the .pages file to .zip

    2. open the file

    3. browse to the 'quicklook' folder

    4. open the preview.pdf

    There is a project on sourceforge which claims to convert to a .txt file so you could give that a try, but I haven't tried it personally: http://pagesconvert.sourceforge.net/

    Failing that if it's just the one file I could convert it for you in Pages which can save as a MS Word document.
