The company has versions of Word for the Mac and the PC, though they look different. In fairness, Microsoft is no slouch in this area. A document created on the Mac looked different on the iPad, which also supported fewer fonts. Even worse, the two didn’t share anywhere near the same capabilities they supported different headers, graphics, tables of contents and charts. ROUND 2: COMPATIBILITY The previous versions of Pages had a serious problem: Documents created on Pages for the Mac didn’t open easily on Pages for the iPad. Longtime power users will figure it out, but I suspect Mom would be happier with the simpler interface. And each tab has too many buttons, most of which are not intuitive. Microsoft groups its icons in different tabs along the top, but they don’t automatically appear when you need them as they do in Pages.

I compared Pages with a version of Office 365 on a Surface Pro tablet. Add a picture and you automatically get options for borders and shadows.
Inserting a table? The panel switches to let you modify the rows and columns. Editing text? Out pops the buttons for bold, font size and justification. Pages takes a different approach, with just a handful of icons across the top and a contextual panel that slides out from the right.
