pages 14.2 export to word error

Boot your MacBook Pro into Safe Boot mode, paying attention to your machine architecture and those related Safe Boot mode steps. Once in Safe Boot mode, open the same Pages document and export to Word (Save) to your Desktop. Do you still get the same result, or do you arrive at a proper Word .docx document containing your images? Afterward, reboot normally, and try export again to see if it is now working correctly.

If Safe Boot mode fixed the Pages export solution, then you may have third-party software installed that is adversely affecting Page's behavior. That might be any brand of anti-virus software, or you have run any so-called Mac Cleaner application that may have removed an internal component of Pages. I would remove either or both of those categories of third-party applications as they are not needed on macOS.

I have Pages v14.2 on macOS Sequoia v15.1 and I cannot duplicate this issue when choosing the Word export option and clicking Save… to a local filesystem, or clicking Export when saving to my mounted Synology DiskStation NAS share. Either filesystem choice results in images retained within the resulting .docx document.

You did not clarify *where* you were saving this document and if not a local or iCloud filesystem, then third-party cloud solutions may not be compatible.

Some users are having unexplained and unresolvable issues with Pages v14.2 on macOS Sequoia.
