Just curious, has anyone figured out how to deal with WOrd documents, which are imported that result in conflicts with font or other similar issues? I have tried importing Word documents that seem to have fonts or other features that don't work quite right with Pages. Now not sure if it is something specific to Word that Pages do not work with as a result of licensing issues? Any ideas appreciated . On Jan 4, 2010, at 4:17 PM, Barry Hadder wrote:
