Copy and paste web pages is worse in Mac Pages than it is in MS Word!!!

I like iWork, very useful, but I think comparing one to other (to MS office) word is better than pages, right?
A lot of functonality of word is missing in pages, for example, if i like a text, fulled of pics and grafics, and tablets, I simply select everething I want from the web page, copy and paste it in MS Word. usually, it stays the same config it was in the original web page. But if I do that in pages, even if I choose: "paste exaclty the same" (something like that in paste options) it loses the configuration, putting the text out of the tablets, for example...
Am I right? Does it happen to ya?

TextEdit doesn't change its name, that is what it is.

TextEdit may look like simple old NotePad on Windows but it is very powerful indeed.

You might like *iText Express* (free) which is like TextEdit on steroids. It is much more suitable for a lot of Word Processing tasks than Pages.

In Swedish TextEdit is called Textredigerare, so the name does change.

What is Pages called?

Pagestofrudinekrå? 🙂

Can see why Sweden and Finland have such a large forestry and paper industry, needed for the extra paper to fit everything on.
