Why pages is not set up sort of or similar to word. I cannot do my paper on this computer like I could on my HP. If I knew this was the case I would've bought an HP again instead of an IMAC. This computer is too expensive for pages to not have more to work with in it. And why on EARTH is it so difficult to maneuver through my God!

Pages was never intended to function like Word, nor be a Word clone. If you need Word features, then use Word on the Mac, either as a Microsoft 365 subscription or a single purchase of Office 2019 for Mac. If you are producing a paper for school, the faculty will thank you for using what they use and providing them your Word document in its native, not translated export from Pages.
