Re: pages on mac

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Doug,

The new `pages for Mac is indeed much simpler to use but, unfortunately, it’s 
also a much simplified application with many functions missing that used to be 
there.

As long as you don’t want to use merge fields, have a choice in the date format 
or want a quick way of setting paragraph styles and knowing which style is set, 
Pages works fine.

Personally, I’m not at all happy about the new Pages.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: pages on mac

[Zachary Kline]

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.

Hello Henry,

The new version of Pages is only available once you upgrade to Mavericks. It

RE: pages on mac

[Henry Miller]

Hi Ann

As we are new to the mac, bearing in mind your reply, I think it's best if
we stay with Mountain Lion and IWorks version 9 at the moment.  Just trying
to keep everything simple .


Kind regards

Henry
