I wish Pages had that feature. Line numbered paper is required by my state and federal local rules for all pleadings.

A Q&A from a few days back included a discussion of highlighting and annotating. See the answers at the 11:58 an 11:59 times: http://blog.evernote.com/2010/04/05/ask-phil/comment-page-2/#comments Read the rest of it as well because it looks like Evernote really wants to do big things with the iPad. I'm still mystified about how the iPad can be used effectively in a law practice. That functionality is not in the current version of Evernote but the CEO says it’s coming.

For example, you have copy-pasted the text of an opinion -- can you then highlight text, write comments etc? Same for PDFs? I'm trying to figure out how to turn an iPad into a legal research repository that will also have a desktop mirror. I use Circus Ponies notebook now, but without an iPad option, I've decided to start seeing other programs. Once your research is in Evernote, are you able to annotate?

IMHO much better than Evernote. It uses artificial intelligence to find documents that are similar to the current one. Great stuff. And it features tagging, too. Maybe you should try it.
