Hi, Although pages is easier to use in many aspects, i do not like it and that’s for one reason and one reason alone: You can’t load a Word document into Pages, edit or modify it and then save directly to Word format again, oh no, you’ll have to ”export” it into Word. The only formats you can

I don’t find exporting any more difficult than saving. I personally don’t know why Apple does not allow for saving as a Word file, but exporting isn’t an issue, unless I am missing something here. Take care and have a great day. Jamie Pauls jamiepa...@gmail.com > On Oct 13, 2015, at 2:58 AM,

Personally, I do all my word processing in TextEdit, and then transfer that draft file into a pages document. I use the pages document to add features that are not available in TextEdit such as headers and footers, tables, and some formatting as well. I consider the TextEdit as the draft

Hello Christina, I use Pages all the time and like it. I use all kinds of formatting, insert tables, text boxes and images. There are just a few accessibility problems, mostly to do with insufficient information available to VoiceOver. Cheers, Anne > On 13 Oct 2015, at 03:43, Christina C.

Hello Krister, Pages, and iWork in general, is Apple’s proprietory word processing format and it only saves into Pages format. All other formats require exporting. This is normal. Pages is not Word. Why should it save into Word format? Cheers, Anne > On 13 Oct 2015, at 09:58, Krister

Hi Anne, Openoffice has its own proprietary format as well, but it doesn’t force us to use it. It would be simple just to have the format menu in the save as dialog include word as well but it doesn’t and the result? if you don’t know what you do you’ll end up with 2 versions of the same

Hi! I found that Word didn't seem to expose tables the same way Pages did. For instance, even though I'd see tables in the document body, I'd also see those tables outside of the document and I'd be able to work with them from there. That just confused me. I am not sure if this has been

I read in the recent Nisus newsletter that the latest version - el Capitan compatible - is going to be submitted to the appstore. It's a nice app but I don't think it supports tables which is a deal for most users. The only app that supports tables is Pages. I had great hopes for Ms Word on
