You caught me by surprise with your use of Pages. I hadn't really considered it.

I have version 1.0 from iWork 05 on my old iMac, and I would never try to write or edit using that version. It's just basic layout. I haven't looked at the software since then.

Luckily my new machine came with Word on it, so I have a fall back for things that could get tricky (making ebooks, for instance). But I may have to pick up Pages for the final edits. The search function sounds excellent. (I use Scrivener for everything else.)
