Pages doesn't share any code with AppleWorks. It was built fresh from
the ground up. It's not very much like a standard word processor at
all. It's much more like a stripped-down, more user-friendly version
of InDesign. (For instance, they *really* try to force you to use
Styles instead of just selecting a block of text and changing the
font arbitrarily.) If only it were faster and didn't have the line
spacing problem I mentioned, I'd be much happier with it.
I was hoping the line spacing shortcoming would be fixed with Pages
2, but no dice. Apparently Pages 3 is due out relatively soon, so we
shall see. It does seem pretty stunning that they would even think
about shipping this kind of product without including the ability to
specify precise line spacing, but every so often Apple's software
people do quirky things for no apparent reason.

That's really odd, considering that the program Pages replaced -
AppleWorks - IS able to space lines independently.
