Does Pages support the track changes and comments facility that Word has. If it does, does it do it well?, Does Pages support the track changes and comments facility that Word has. If it does, does it do it well?

Pages supports change and comment tracking very well. To enable Track Changes go to Edit -> Track Changes, and for comments simply click on the comments button when you select the text or item you want to make a comment about. Everything is colour coded for multiple editors.

Both Pages 09 and Pages 5 have track changes and comments. Both implement track changes pretty well. In Pages 09, comments display down a side bar on the left,and will print along with the document. Those features (and others) are absent from Pages 5. Most users seem to prefer the way that Pages 09 implemented comments.

I wish Apple would go back to the way changes and comments were displayed in Pages '09 rather than the way they are displayed in Pages 5. It seems like a massive step backward and I even had a professor state that Microsoft veered away from the direction that Apple seems to be moving toward with this last update. So I have elected to keep using Pages '09 because I am working with scientific manuscripts that have various drafts and it is to important to be able to quickly identify who made changes rather than slowly clicking through each edit to find the specific ones that are critical.
