Nick, I just downloaded and spendt an hour or so going through the free version of scrivener and its getting started tutorial. Yep! it does look like a great app for serious, complex writing projects. And, it looks to be highly accessible with VO - one of those really VO friendly apps that are all too infrequent. Unfortunately, I just don’t need that kind of power for my little writing projects and can’t justify the cost. BTW: how well does it handle tables? I’ll bet it’s great there too. Pages does kind of fall short in a lot of areas - at least for me it does. That’s why I keep windows w/office 2010 in good order. there are very few Mac apps that I’ve come across that can compete with Word for word processing.
