Pages 2 is part of the Apple iWork 06 suite and a superb wordprocessor and page layout tool. The problem with Pages is that it's not really that intuitive to use, especially if you're used to MS Word. This screencast removes this barrier and shows you just how easy it is to get fantastic results from Pages with the minimum of effort.

"Kudos, Don! This episode should be mandatory viewing for every Mac user. I had no clue that I could do that much with Pages 2.  I did a presentation this past weekend, I promised them a .pdf version of the preso. Because of your episode it's gonna look much slicker" - Frank Petrie - Macsimum News Video Sandbox
