Must have features for Mac Pages in 2020

I have been using Pages in my Macbook Pro for a long time and I also use Microsoft applications in Windows for my office work. I think I have credibility of requesting new features and must have features in Pages to take on Microsoft Word. Following were few of my observations and recommendations for improving Pages on par with Microsoft Word. 

  • Grammar Checking: Checking grammar and spelling in Pages is inferior when compared to Grammar checking options in Microsoft Word. The sentence formation and intelligence of highlighting grammar error was far superior in Microsoft Word than in Mac Pages. 
  • Formatting Options: Even though Pages have all formatting options as in Microsoft word, finding it applying the formats to the text is a big pain in the ass. 
  • Mac Pages should either acquire Grammarly or related grammar artificial intelligence tools for better integration and insights on poof reading. 


With absence of new Grammar insight tools from Apple, I personally feel Mac Pages still has long way to catch up Microsoft Word and with new updates for every month on new features, they are still going ahead of Mac Pages. Please follow blog posts from “G R Team Sites” for more such updates.

Anticipation for next steps during Covid-19 pandemic

While the coronavirus pandemic was getting started around different cities, it was slowly getting into my city and work locations. A few days earlier my manager and I were discussing its impact on other countries and how it will impact if it affects countries like us. We were unaware of its impact and when each day passed on, the Covid-19 virus fear was taking over and it was spreading faster than the forest fire. With news channels publishing status about new Coronavirus in the country, myself and my manager was witnessing a drop in traffic and noticed few people scheduling a meeting with onsite counterpart requesting work from home options. I was not worried much, because I had planned my long vacation for next week and anyway would be traveling to native shortly. However, with all colleagues talking about the severity of the coronavirus, I wanted to check with my manager about the possibility of working from home. Post conversation, I was disappointed because my manager was conveying that he would still wait and decide about the situation.
