Word cannot open Pages documents but if you use Pages you can export the document to a Word format before you send it to someone.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Pages, especially if you have Word experience or want compatibility with Word.

If you don't want to pay for Word, another option is LibreOffice. It is free, very compatible with Word and more similar to Word from a learning curve standpoint. https://www.libreoffice.org/
