That might well be true, as long as Pages supports all of the necessary features of the original Microsoft Word document. When I last read a review, Pages didn’t support everything. My impression is that LibreOffice is more comprehensive in its feature support, but that isn’t accessible on the M

Yes, I'm not surprised. I'm just not recalling exactly when it was removed from what models, and whether or not it's now too late to pick up any that still have it unused. As to why, I suspect it's as simple as most sighted computer users, perhaps I should say many sighted users have a strong aver
