The problem<\/p>\n

I am working on the revision of a Kindle book. My plan was to create a more current version of the existing book using Pages. It turned out that Pages 10 can not be used for this purpose because it has been “simplified” and features I need are no longer available. I need iWork<\/span>\u00a09.

Disco allows you to create a disc image. So, the solution to the driveless<\/span>\u00a0Mac problem was to create a disk image. Load the image on a flash drive and install from the flash drive. The install worked great.<\/p>\n
