David, I, too, had no idea Apple had come so far with pages. In fact the first time I even tried anything Pages related was just two days ago when I got my iPad and purchased the Pages app (because it was really the only word processing software available.) have just kicked it around a little there, but am liking it so far. But the iPad verizon IS limited. No comments or transfer of comments at this point as far as I can tell at this point. But your post is making me consider looking into it for my laptop...am getting tired of bugs and simple annoyances in Word. Will be very interested to read your post on the problems with Pages to get a fuller picture.
