Calling Apple’s Pages a word processor is a misnomer. Words are only a small part of what this software is designed to process. The application combines desktop publishing with text entry — and on the iPad, it not only combines the two well, but in a way that makes document creation fun. The tactile features of the tablet literally give you a feel for a document unmatched by any other platform. You start a document in Pages for the iPad by choosing a template. It can be one resembling a blank sheet of paper, a letter, a resume or any of 16 included with the app.
