I am learning some things I did not know about! I have been using Pages for 5 years. I had always had some trouble with styling because I didn't understand what was going on. I figured a lot of it out on my own, but this course streamlined the learning curve & eliminated my guessing. I still want a Mail Merge feature or training on how to use it!
