iphoto journal issues and questions

[mitchell fox]

I tried creating a journal in iphoto on ipad. I found it hard to work with. Tried to move things around, sometimes they snapped back to their original place. There seems to be some kind of grid. Also, I wanted to include a word doc and I couldn't. Then I tried to copy in text from outside of iphoto, couldn't., Even when I made the doc a screenshot, which is unwieldy, it was almost impossible to size it, place it, so it could be read legibly and/or in entirety. Also, no way to make items in the journal transparent or semi, so they could be layered more. I guess journal is just supposed to be for a quick way to publish photos from ipad, but even so I found it to be kind of primitive. Other ideas?
