Word is the standard so you're better off going with it even if Pages can export doc files. I usually use Open Office and its doc files get weird formatting problems when I send them to people Word. Word files are required by a lot of people. I've had them be required for applying to art shows, resumes and submitting stories to publications. Word just makes life easier when you have to share files. I'd even recommend installing Windows through Bootcamp. I had a Macbook for years and the last time I tried to go to school the online software for classes didn't work on a Mac.
