First Look: Pages '09, word processor |
Pages has always been a decent word processor, but it’s never been powerful enough to replace Microsoft Word. Apple has, fortunately, boosted Pages '09 with more features in order to make it a better word processor, and an easier desktop publishing program. It may still not match Word feature-for-feature, but that could be a good thing, as what it does offer may be what you really need.Continuing an emphasis on improving word processing abilities, the latest version of Pages offers a new full-screen view. Rather than just expand a window, the full-screen view completely fills the screen with your document, and blocks out toolbars, program windows, the Dock and even pull-down menus. This lets you focus on writing without any visual distractions. |
