You would need to ask Google about that. Chrome is not an Apple product.

Pages will not open .docx documents I am trying to open docx documents and Pages will not do it. I have tried going to the Cache and looking for the com.apple.iwork.pages and that apparently does not exist on my laptop. I have a new 2022 MacBook Pro, M2 processor, 13 inch and everything is up to date. Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I need to access these documents!

Downloads for MS Word Documents on Safari are automatically read-only The MS word documents I save from Safari are automatically read-only and I can only exit read-only mode by saving as a duplicate document. I do not have this issue when I download documents from Chrome. I would like the documents to be downloaded with edit-more enabled. I've tested this with documents that I have created and sent to myself and it still comes up at read-only. How can I fix this?

Just to add, Safari has a setting to automatically open a file after downloading. Chrome has no such setting.
