So I am using Pages to create a newsletter and I am trying to put a border around my text, but there is a limited number of different styles of borders or picture frames. Is there a place where I can download more border styles?

So YES, they start, but writing one spacebar and hitting enter crash them down. So well, that's what I call "unusable".

I've never had an issue with performance and, far from it being 'unusable' I've now found that I can't do without it.
Big John, you simply have a different semantic definition of "unusable." If it crashes often is it considered "unusable" too? I can start all sorts of applications, but their utility is paramount to their usability. If I can't get work done with it because it crashes or takes excruciatingly long to load/modify documents, and alternative products offer an /overwhelmingly/ greater level of productivity, then I don't think it's unfair to characterize Numbers as "unusable" in some context, that context most specifically being in working with moderate-to-large, existing spreadsheets.
If you understood what I meant (after all, I said it was slow), then there's no need to pick apart the meaning of a single word (which I, by extension, have bothered to do here, further wasting people's time ;).
Numbers is unusable? Funny, it seems to start fine on my system.
Yep, just started fine.
Seriously folks, unusable means it won't start. Say "it runs slow" if that's what you really mean.
coyotej: nope, Numbers are still unusable. Still waiting for 1.1 (or, better, for Microsoft Office 2008)
