The Last Word
Hopefully, I will never have to touch Microsoft Word ever again, thanks to Apple. The new version of their word-processing and page layout program, “Pages”, finally has a “change tracking” feature, which is apparently compatable with Microsoft Word’s Track Changes. This was really the last reason for me to use Word, which I’ve avoided as much as I can with LaTeX. Word was slow, buggy, and not native to Intel Macs (making them even slower). It was also kind of a pain to use. Now that I can do the editing in Pages, I don’t have any need for Word, other than to open the occasional file sent to me. But that’s what PDFs are for, right?
