thanks Ann, What a quirky little beast pages is. To date, I am using it only to assemble draft files I have created and formatted in text edit, into a final document. It’s only draw for me is the headers and footers capability, and use of tables. Using the formatting features, specifically the styles features is something I don’t bother with any more.
