SO I INSTALLED iWORK08 on my Macbook Pro, and I’ve been playing around with Pages. It’s still not my beloved WordPerfect, but I like it better than Microsoft Word. And it opens Word documents just fine — I got back the edited version of my Dick Cheney piece from the editors at the Northwestern University Law Review in Word and it opened up perfectly in Pages, with all the change-tracking and everything. (And boy are those Northwestern folks fast — they just accepted the piece a couple of weeks ago.) I’m not sure that Pages gives me quite the warm glow that Sarah Pullman experiences, but I like it!
