Hi rabascuas, Vertical alinement would be a nice feature. In the upper left of the Pages screen click Pages > Provide Pages feedback; describe in detail what you want. Your comments go directly to Team Pages, then let's hope the next version of Pages will incorporate your request. I've sent in many. I am astounded that Pages can't do this simple thing.' Your being astounded is a non-sequitur. Truly we all could be astounded about any product inability to do things we want.

Aligning text is a simple enough task. You just select the text and click the appropriate option: Align Text Left, Center, Align Text Right, or Justify. You might not realize that Word can align.

It's astounding MS Word doesn't do things Pages does so well. П™‚ These Discussions are enduser helping enduser, not Apple employees answering questions.

Cordially, RicD. It is astounding when a product does not perform a function that nearly all substitute products perform. For instance, it would be astounding for all but the very cheapest modern cars to not have power steering. It would NOT be astounding to learn that not every product does everything we want it to do.

And I don't think non sequitur means what you think it means. Anyway, thanks for the info about Apple feedback. I posted here, as I said, because I was hoping I had overlooked this and that in fact Pages could center text vertically on a page. Hi rbascuas: Thank you for your feedback. Truly I was poking friendly jabs at you 🙂 It makes me smile when someone says 'astounded', to me they must be flipping out in disbelief or about to vapor lock.

Myself I'd be astounded winning the loto. As for, non sequitur: a reply that has no relevance to what preceded it, or, (logic) a conclusion that does not follow from the premises.

From your use of 'astounded'. Again it was a friendly jab nothing more, it was my hope you'd take it that way as well. Folk here jab me, making me laugh at myself for dumb mistakes to questions. Also, thank you for sending Apple feedback on your issue. I too hope they'll include it.

Cordially, RicD. FWIW, I feel rbascuas' pain. While 'astonished' may be hyperbole (I just discovered that OpenOffice.org also lacks this functionality and I'm equally astonished at that), the text box solution is unacceptable for me.

I have exactly the same need as rbascuas: I need to produce cover pages in APA format. I'm attending courses at an on-line university who asks that all assignments be submitted in rich text format (RTF). Guess what disappears when saving in RTF? That's right: text boxes. Furthermore, Pages drops headers when exporting to RTF. Word does not (I haven't checked OpenOffice.org). So - I'm not bashing the product, and I realize Apple doesn't monitor these forums (fora?).
