I wanted to put one of my client's books on Kindle. I copy and pasted from InDesign (did the hard copy in InDesign) to Pages and then found I can't link titles in contents to poem titles. I have to export to Word, then have to go back to my old computer with Word 10 (unless I bite the bullet and plunk down more money for a Word/Office upgrade) and do the linking. Also, Pages won't support odd sizes. So, the yoga book I'm working on will have to remain in InDesign.

Fortunately, in spite of dire warnings, i have found (so far) CS4 will work with Mavericks.

The object of getting a new computer and going with Mavericks and Pages was to get away from Adobe. Sigh, maybe one day.
