While I acknowledge the limitations Ann mentions are important to keep in mind, I can’t bring myself to be unhappy with the new Pages. It’s entirely possible that mail merge fields and date formatting will be reinstated in a future update. I’m not as concerned about the style issue, as I believe techniques still exist for being aware of which style is set, and I don’t need to worry about them in general as much as some people might.e I find the increased accessibility in most all other areas quite compelling, myself. I must emphasize that if you don’t find a feature you want in the program, feedback should be provided to Apple or their accessibility team directly. Best, Zack.
