Morning, all my hundreds of files are word docs. Now that I have moved from a PC to a mac I figure I should just go with it and use pages instead. Should I?

If so, Pages opens word docs just fine (only prints them though if opened first), but I am finding most of the word docs formatting is all off once opened in Pages and the resulting printing is off as well. So what have others done?

Stuff I print up all the time, I already reformatted them using pages and saved them as pages docs (whatever extension that is?). I still have the word versions though. So! Should I continue this corse of action and reformate them all over time into Pages compatible?

Or should I keep them as word docs and get Mircrosoft office or some other program that is compatible with word docs?

Do you all find that Pages can handle it all just fine?

I need the ability to write things with bullets, italics, bolding, and etc. Nothing extreme or anything. I use Byword for all my simple notes and such. All the word docs are for biz related activities.
