Know a simple word processing program?

Found out yesterday after much travail that Apple Book Templates (word processing or layout) do not let a writer delete or move one page at a time. That's crazy.

Does anyone know a simple program that works with pages that will allow a table of contents to be added and the ability to move pages within the text without deleting whole sections when trying?

Many thanks!

Pages with and without columns in book I have created a book (180 pages) using Pages with the layout being word processing. After the first two or three pages I created two columns per page but I believe that has created a new section for all the following pages. I have now noticed two blank pages in the middle of the document that do not have columns. I can’t simply backspace from the next page because there are no columns on those blank pages. Nor can I delete the two blank pages as they are part of the much bigger section and I will lose everything I have done. Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks

Pages deletes all content of my document! Why? For a good friend I like to make some kind of "list" of books to recommend him. So I open each book -which are in pdf- with Preview, select and copy the coverpage and paste this in the Pages document. After a few pages I had to ad an extra page at the end of the document, but Pages inserts the new page before the last page. Why? Then I wanted to delete the empty page but Pages warns : "Are you sure you want to delete all content from your document?" I really do not understand or expect this behaviour.. Is there a more intuitive way how to create such a document with pdf (or images, for that matter)? Thanks in advance for your help Hans
