2008-10-09I purchased an older IMAC for my wife and children to use as the PC laptop they were using before died. when you need a word proccessor, xl program and presentation program you can buy and MS product or an apple one.
Because the computer was a Mac I chose IWORK. It's worked very well and my wife and children rave about it. It is after all a round peg in a round hole. Perfect fit.
2008-08-18This product came without a serial number and when I contacted the company I didnt recieve any help at all. I have yet to recieve a credit for my purchase. They told me to throw it away. What I wanted was a product that works!
2008-02-06are used to simplicity. For me to have to follow instructions like
1.Select the text you want to make bold or italic, or click where you want to type new text.
2.Choose Format > Font > Bold or Format > Font > Italic
is ludicrous, when I simpley want to make something italic. Is this really an Apple creation? It doesnt act like one.
I'm also informed that if I plan to us a parituclar text format (such as italic) often, I can create a style. More steps. Then the style has a specific size associated with it.
Many features are simpley not intutive enough and likewise have too many steps.
I think in trying to avoid looking like Word, they went a little too far and avoided the positive aspects as well. (Example, font selection. What a hassle it is!)
On the positive side, it does have an elegant look, and some nice templates. If it would just work, I would love it.
Overall, I wish I had stayed with Word. beleive me, it is hard for a confirmed Mac user to say those words.
It will do the job, it will just take you longer.
2007-10-17I've just purchased the '06 edition of iWork so as to have use of Pages on my Mac using OS 10.3.9. I needed the '06 edition because updating the operating system to OS 10.4 or better to use iWork-08 would have left me without Mac Classic to work with my older files.
I've worked with the Pages program and find it is exellent and, as usual, has many more features that I'll ever use. When I thought of some publication design step I wanted to take, it was easy to find the instructions to do that step in the Help menu.
You will love working with Pages.
2007-09-08My imac is so intutive. It was scarey moving to Mac after all the horror stories by PC geeks. What a breath of fresh air. No noise, no fuss, just a beautiful machine that works! The software is also intutive and easy to use. Makes me look good!

Top the charts -- Pages 2 lets you add beautifully designed 3D charts to any document. Edit your chart, then position it perfectly using the 3D rotation wheel. From there, you can add even more depth and realism by applying multiple lighting styles, angles, reflections, and shadows.
Get in shape -- Explore your options with curves, shapes, and masks in Pages 2. Choose from new shapes, insert the one you like best, then customize it by adding points or sides. You can even create custom shapes using new Bezier curves. When you're done creating the perfect shape, you can use it to mask any photo in your document.
Put it on the table -- Leave it to Pages 2 to make mere tables more interesting. Add text, graphics, and photos to tables, then get ready to do the math: tables in Pages 2 let you perform spreadsheet-style calculations without ever leaving your document -- a perfect solution for adding numbers late in the game.
