how many pages can Pages actually hold?

My last book ran to 125,000 words in Pages without a problem. The automatic word counter in the footer of Word stops at 99,999 by the way...

Hi, a few things...

I cant figure out how to print a brochure on my canon printer. each page prints upside down to the other, and the colors are streaking on the document....any ideas? I downloaded the drivers for the canon ip4000 printer, but it doesnt seem to be running the program properly....

New to mac, with too many years on pc!!!!

Welcome to the discussions, sculptorinbronze.

It sounds like your issue is more with your printer than with Pages, especially if you are getting streaky output. I'd suggest checking the Canon site for support.

Obviously something that important needs regular backups. I wouldn't trust any program not to crash, despite the fact that I have had no problems with OS X or Pages.

When I am doing my music mixes, which are very complicated, I save them often, many times with a different date so I have multiple files at varying stages saved by date.

You are right, and thanks for the welcome! I just picked up a canon mp530 multifunction printer and just before that came the imac 24", and I got a little ahead of myself, trying to run before I can walk. I have figured out the issue of duplex printing (had to do with clicking the correct stapling side in duplex printing section of print command).

Now all I need to do is spend the time to learn what I can do with the Pages Brochure template on a mac computer. slowly....slowly....

Off the topic of printing, do you know if it is possible to have a different column order when going back and forth between send and recieve in Outlook on imac? It seems that the columns cannot be altered between the two....

I share your concern. There must be limits, but Apple hasn't told us what they are.

I'm working on a document that's currently 898 pages (222,236 words). It doesn't include any graphics. Pages handles it well.

But here's the interesting part. I imported the file to Pages from Microsoft Word. For the same formatting, the same number of words and pages, the Pages file is 716 KB; the Microsoft Word file is 2.6 MB.

iMac G5 1.9GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

How many pages do you want? I've done documents of well over a hundred pages with no problem.

Suz,

My book manuscript is well over 400 pages, and the app works perfectly.
