I've tried IText, and yes, you're correct, it is nowhere near as feature
rich as the things I need to be able to do.
Thanks though.

HI Christopher,
I too am in the same boat as you. I recently am a proud owner of a Mac
Air, but I do truely miss MS office 2010 on the Air. Since my PC is still
functioning, I use it for all of the apps and tasks that are not
accessible on the Mac. I'm toying with installing a virtual machine on the
backside of it,, so I have everything on one machine. Currently, I am
trying to master iText Express. It's a free app, but I'm not sure it will
be powerful enough for your needs. You may want to check it out.
Best,
Eileen

Anne,
Can you e-mail me off list about your Pages training over Skype with a
price etc? Also have you got a syllabus you could send me that outlines
the things you'd be coverring with me? If it isn't to much, and you have
any openings, I may very very possibly look into next month having you
train me. I really! desperetly! need to get a better handle on using it,
as that is one of the huge things keeping me from totally switching over
to the Mac from a Windows environment, is I need access to a very
powerful word processor, and someone who can work one on one with
teaching it to me.
Anyway, my E-mail address to send me some information to is:
ch...@clgproductions.com
I'd be delighted if you could try to maybe set something up with me.
Due to my recent surgery, I couldn't do much now over $100, but again,
let's talk off list. Maybe we can negotiate something.

Hello Chris,
In Pages, as long as you set the paragraph styles correctly for the body
text and headings, you can create a table of contents automatically using
the appropriate command in the Insert menu.
Before putting much text into your document, you should set hotkeys for
all the paragraph styles you'll need. The hotkeys are F1 to F8 and all
you have to do to apply a style is be in the paragraph and press the
hotkey.
Cheers,
Anne

So then, if I do it in Pages, how easy I wonder is it to add a table of
contents, my dedication/copyright pages, and section/chapter marks?

You can create Epub books in both Pages and Nisus Writer Pro, but I have
not had need to try this yet. There was a post some time ago on the list
about creating such a book using Pages however.

What is the best way for someone to create an EPub ebook? I’m
considering writing a book, which eventually I want in IBooks, which
means it’s going to have to be in EPub eventually. Even if that’s not
the case though, I’d still like to make an EPub version. I tried
IBooks Author from the app store, and it looks sort of, ish,
accessible, but I can’t seem to get my head around where I type my data
into the document, as there isn’t really a text entry field from what I
can tell. I just wonder, thus, aside from this app, what else may be
out there that could help me with this.
