I really love using Pages. It is simple, smooth, and has beautiful templates for many kinds of documents. Being able to write in my native Tamil language makes the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Thank you for supporting it. My only suggestion is to add a dedicated screenwriting mode with industry-standard formatting. It would be even better if the script automatically follows professional screenplay formatting, with properly aligned character names, dialogue, and other screenplay elements.This would be a huge help for filmmakers, screenwriters, and storytellers. Pages already supports many kinds of writers, and adding a professional screenwriting feature would make it even more useful for creative people. I would be very happy to see this in a future update. Thank you.

The + symbol at the bottom of the page layout pane
Ansh Seth
The + symbol at the bottom of the page layout pane selectively appears in a few templates. So at many points the writer has to copy-paste the various pages of the template to continue adding new pages. Such a problem is also there in a blank document. In the faq and help section of Apple, there is no where written to trouble-shoot for this error. Honestly, it is quite a motivation killer. Also, I came across a bug in the ”arrange layers” part of pages in a few templates, where a box, text box and image don't surface up one by one. The box is lost, or the text box. Also the image becomes super difficult to adjust, especially as a little misselection can spoil the whole arrangements. Do you have a feature to freeze layers, if not then please create one, and if yes - then please inform me.This app has huge potential, please don't lose out for these minor glitches.
Outline feature is required
SELVARATHINAM
I am a wide user of Pages for several years and I love all the features of pages and feel excited working on pages. Recently I have been enjoying outline feature in fonts. After recent update I found that is not available. Could Apple allow us to have that feature immediately? I use them to show my accomplished job on my to do list. It was very useful for me. Could you please reintroduce it for the benefits of many like me?
