[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1929851, member: 175845"] I'm just curious, but in what year(s) or versions did this start happening and I assume, continue to improve. I certainly don't have the opportunity to run Apple's most recent iWork versions or latest Pages.app, but I have always been disappointed with it compared to their old AppleWorks.app, even if it was different, but I had a very good handle on it. I even used its spreadsheet many years ago to do up a drawing of a design we wanted for a wooden cedar lattice so that the local fencing people could create one for us alongside our garage. It all worked out very well by the way. Talk about adaptability I guess... ;-) As for the OP and his concern about the price for a good Office Suite bundle, I have and occasionally use an older version of MS Office that I have thanks to my eldest son that he has shared with us via the optional "Family Sharing" he had available for the [I]Standalone[/I] product version. I don't know if that option is still available, but the price was certainly right, at least for us, for those times when one just needs a good word processor or to open some Ms file one was sent that doesn't seem to open or work properly with other applications. Just an optional thought, and a possible option... - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
