[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1743421, member: 190607"] I don't think that Apple purposely "dumbed down" Pages 5.x. I think that they realized that their i-devices were tremendously popular and that they needed Pages on their i-devices to be compatible with their Macs as soon as possible. That's what users really wanted. Unfortunately that required an entire re-write of Pages for the Mac, which isn't something that could be done overnight. So they rushed out Pages 5.x in a form that was usable, but not nearly as full-featured as Pages '09. It's been a while since the re-write of Pages. They are up to Pages 6.0.5 now. I'm not a Pages user (I use Microsoft Word). Is there anyone here who is using the very latest version of Pages? Is it now as full-featured as it used to be...or at least close? If anyone is unhappy with Pages, there are a bunch of really excellent word processors for the Macintosh. If anyone wants a suggestion for a Pages replacement, just let us know what your needs are and we can suggest several to try out. [/QUOTE]
