opening a file with the ending of .pages

is there something that needs to be added or downloaded in order for me to
open a file with the ending .pages? I received an attachment from a reliable
source with this ending and cannot open it.

And this 'reliable source' has told you they created it in *what*
application?

To add to what I said before, if you are too embarrassed to ask the original
sender of the document (reliable source)...

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example, using your posting...

what is a .pages file
http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+.pages+file

Which will give you this:
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/pages

Which leads me to believe your best hope will be to ask the macintosh user
(reliable source) to save it in a less proprietary format before sending it
to you. ;-)
