Yes, I can imagine this as I suspect it was not designed for imports of that. It would be useful if many different formats could be imported into Pages at least. I haven't had the opportunity to check out iWork myself, but I'm keen on finding replacement apps for clients, so the subject is very interesting. > Until they add some >sort of spreadsheet application so it can do that - no - it's not a >viable replacement for MS Office. For a while I've been using Ragtime 5.6.4 for much of my document needs. Unfortunately, Ragtime is showing its age in many areas, even if I kind of like its sometimes obscure ways of doing things. So I'm drifting towards using OmniOutliner for the typical short documents I write nowadays. When I write longer I will try and use OpenOffice and derivatives.
