Thanks so much Donna. Its pretty encouraging to know that one can shift between pages and Word without much difficulty.
Perhaps I will try both Word and pages and get back whenever I am in doubt.

I have had no issues with Pages. I switch back and forth between Word and Pages frequently. As for Scrivener, I never really got into using it. I can say that I found it to be quite accessible, though, so if you like its features, it's well worth taking the time to learn the app. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.
