I tested Pages, and it is like you said, it doesn’t work. Strange.

I wonder, what is this feature for, if it doesn’t even work in Pages, that is owned by Apple??

An application must have, under Edit, a Substitutions:Text Replacement submenu (and it must be checked) for the text substitutions listed in System Preferences:Language & Text:Text to work.

NWP does not use this System feature and, therefore, does not have Edit:Substitutions:Text Replacement menu.

Pages has its own independent substitution feature which has all the default text replacements found in System Preferences repeated in its Preferences>Auto-Correction Preferences. The ‘Symbol and text substitution’ box must be checked.
