Hi Anne, Thanks for the tip. A couple of things I feel worth mentioning about office are that firstly, Word doesn’t reopen windows after quitting when you uncheck the box in system preferences like it is supposed to do. And secondly, they have overridden some basic OS X keystrokes in the

Hello Barry, Although in Pages images won’t overflow text, they will fall off the edge of the page! It’s always important to check the X and Y coordinates and the size of the image. The current version of Word is lacking in many ways. I feel as though I’m wading through mud when using it,

I had to use Word 97 in a technical writing class at it was a complete nightmare. Things have definitely come a long way from where they were. With Pages, it would have been a breez. As far as I know, images or other objects will not overlap text. You can set them to move with text, or to

Hi all. This might be a rather lengthy email, so I hope you don’t mind reading a longer piece than you’re used to getting, lol. So our class was given the task of creating a sort of project of anatomy. We were to make a cover page, a table of contents, and make a description and add pictures of
