Not to be picky, but this and several other posts suggest that having  
multiple inspectors in Pages is a hidden or secret feature. It's  
actually simply available from the View menu, and is documented in  
the first chapter of the Manual, as well as in the online help system  
in several prominent places.

This is probably a good example of where reading at least the first  
chapter or two of the manual or online help would help most people,  
as I don't think Apple could have made the feature much more  
accessible or documented it any better...
