Thanks! That does fill me with confidence. The project will be an ongoing thing (A monthly diet and fitness plan), and will be for my parent's eyes only i.e Not a commercial concern. So I can afford for it to be a little shabby 'round the edges to start off with. The theory is that I should improve each month, as I learn more, at which point I'll hopefully be confident enough to use it for lesson plans and handouts (should I ever get back to teaching). So, at least for the moment, much of what I'm doing will be most likely just copying/pasting from other sources, with my own text additions. I guess word-processing is probably too elaborate a term for what I'll actually be doing. Anyway! Thanks to everybody for the help/advice. Will just get started, and see how I go.

Gotcha! I think I'll manage to bend it to my will. Thanks

Thanks! I think that for the projects I'm looking at using this for, I could get away with doing most of it in Publisher. I don't have an issue with using Textedit, in principle. I just don't want to be having to deal with multiple file saves, in between different programs. And not being familiar with Publisher, I'm not sure how things work in relation to editing text once it has already been placed in and around other objects. I guess this is something I'll become more familiar with, once I get stuck in. Anyway! Thanks again for all your help. Should be able to get stuck in, over the weekend. Cheers, e

Guess I got lucky Anyway! Just bought and installed Publisher. Everything seems to work as expected. The only thing - And this is down to my own ignorance 0 is that I'd imagined i would be able to use it for basic word-processing, and thus eliminating the need for 'Pages', entirely. Maybe I can. Will just take some exploring, reading the manual etc. Will also probably buy a course on Udemy, which actually follows a project very similar to the one I need to do. Let's see if I can learn this thing in two weeks!

Thanks! I should've been clearer. They are legacy drivers because it's a 10-year-old unit (Bamboo Pen and Touch - CTH-460, CTH-660). The last driver update was in 2016, and that is the one I use. Like I said, I'm very surprised that it still works. in fact, it's so much more stable in Mojave than it was in Sierra Thanks again, e

Thank-you both for the prompt replies. I'm currently using a very old Wacom Bamboo, with legacy drivers. It is actually very stable in Mojave, which is quite surprising. I just have this issue in Pages. It's never been much of an issue before, because I've only really used Pages for writing short notes, pasting from other sources etc. However, I now have a bigger project to start and can't use the trackpad for something so big. While waiting for a response, I did try selecting text in Affinity Photo, within a text frame. It behaved as expected, so that's encouraging. I think I should probably just go for it. Thanks gain, to both of you e

Hi, Before purchasing, I just wanted to confirm that Wacom tablets are properly supported in 'Publisher'; Specifically, the ability to highlight/select text. The reason I ask is that Apple's Pages has had an ongoing issue whereby text cannot be highlighted/selected with the Wacom Pen. It seems to highlight a chosen section, but as soon as the pen is lifted from the tablet the highlight disappears. It's a known issue, that neither Apple or Wacom have managed to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
