I have a problem when trying to align equations to the center. It seems Pages uses "=" symbol, if present, as the center of an equation, so in case the length of the expressions isn't the same on both side of "=" the used center isn't the real one. That results in something like this:
That is not very pleasant for the view...
Is there a way to avoid this?

If you want the equations all left aligned, enter them in the left margin. Set a tab stop where you want their left alignment to register, and then tab each equation over to that tab stop. For some reason, Pages was programmed to center align equation objects on their equal sign, (if present).

No, my fault, I will explain better.
Think about five different equations separated by some paragraphs.
No problems with "abcd", "a+b+c+d" and "a+b=c+d". These haven't "=" or the two sides have the same length.
But "a=b+c+d" and "a+b+c=d" have their center on "=" (according to Pages).
This should be more clear:
Is this the alignment you seek?
\begin{align}
a + b &= d + c \\
a &= b + c + d \\
a + b + c &= d \\
a + b +c + d \\
abcd
\end{align}
Thanks, completely solved by setting the tab stop in the center and changing the alignment from left to center.
You are welcome.
