![]() Beats the pants off Adobe's inaccurate, unreliable and perpetually annoying efforts. The one thing I do love Pages 6.3.1 for is the snap to align which is absolutely the best ever. Pages 5 & 6 are far less well organised and have a UI that wastes huge amounts of your precious screen space. Once you understand that it is pretty easy sailing. Pages '09 has one of the best examples of top down to detail UI interfaces of any App ever. It all comes down to how you think and there is a sharp divide between the two approaches. But Pagemaker/Indesign users hate Quark Xpress. ![]() Indesign really annoyed me, still does, having come from Quark Xpress, particularly with the weird way it works with Master Pages and its relatively badly organised keyboard shortcuts. The best you can do in Pages 5 & 6 is turn it off one object, then duplicate that. In Pages '09 you can change the default and also have a style that has it turned off. Pages automatically applies Textwrap to all new objects and you can't have that off by default in Pages 5 and 6. No App is really "intuitive", you always need to know something, and there are catches as well. Clicking in any shape also adds text to that object as I demonstrated. That is because you have Textwrap on the Textbox as I explained.
