Hi Sadam, I am trying to learn pages myself, but can you tell me a little more about Itext express? I am assuming that it is another word processor option. Currently, I am in grad school right now, and am looking for something that will allow me to do pretty advanced formatting for papers such as foot notes and citations and bibliographies, like I said I do know that pages will work for me, but was just curious to hear about this option.
