Darrel Earlier this year my wife completed a book. I was her typist/graphics artist etc. It ended with just under 400 pages with very many graphics, photos, maps etc - hundreds. A lot of the early text was done with Word, but when I started to insert the illustrations Word's hopeless control of their locations drove me to try out Pages which I had never before used. It was a revelation. I don't know what Ronni meant by "large". We divided the book into chapters, one of which had 84 pages with more images than that. Once I had mastered the simple rules for image placement and location it was brilliant.
For me that's it after decades with Word. Pages has a few quirks where I think the Word solution is better, but overall, for our "large" document with lots of pix, there is no comparison in ease of use and controlled output.
