I can see the arguments on both sides of this. My preferred choice is Pages because (a) Its Apple savvy, (b) uncluttered and (c) easy to use with DTP like attributes. Saving as word documents for non Apple Users usually works well but saving as a pdf eliminates many of these problems. I also have MS Word, Neo Office, Open Office, Libre, Bean and Evernote, all of which I use from time to time.

I guess the real answer is standardisation between users and whether good or bad, that leaves Pages from iWork and MS Word from MS Office.

As a codicil I must say that I find Word, like many if not all of MS products to be bloated and full of features that not many people use.

From that point of view, Pages pips the post and unless anything changes radically, I’ll stick with that.
