Hi James Yes, this has been my problem. Anne sent me some great info about using styles, but as you rightly say it's difficult to handle without the use of hot spots. Since I need to hit the ground running on this one, and I need access to this functionality without delay, I may have no optio

Hi Matthew As far as I am aware, Pages doesn't handle Office 2010/2013 .docx files, but it does handle Office 2003/2007 .doc files. I'll do some experimentation though, but I do need to use the .docx flavour in order to stay compatible with my colleagues. I really would prefer to use the Mac,

Can nices or how ever you spell that program edit footers and headers? I'm asking this as I might have to do this the next time, hopefully never, I might have to use APA formatting. and since you have to do headers and footers and possibly running headers I'm hoping the answer is yes. On May 21
