Well it has it's own text processing window/mode with spell checker. I
think it is very nice, then again I have been using Pagemaker ever
since the first Mac release which I happen to own...

Yup 1.0 and don't let others tell you otherwise as I was shipped
directly from Aldus two weeks ago. Anyway, only Gill Sans and New
Times Roman were included.

I am pretty sure it can, but I haven't tried yet... Just importing
bitmap files so far.
