Summary: The Round Peg in the Round hole
Comment: I 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 processor, 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.

Summary: I work o6 for mac
Comment: This product came without a serial number and when I contacted the company I didn't receive any help at all. I have yet to receive a credit for my purchase. They told me to throw it away. What I wanted was a product that works!

Summary: Mac users....
Comment: are 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 simply want to make something italic. Is this really an Apple creation? It doesn't act like one.

I'm also informed that if I plan to us a particular 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 simply not intuitive 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. Believe me, it is hard for a confirmed Mac user to say those words.

It will do the job, it will just take you longer.

Summary: iWork-06 Oages
Comment: I'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.

Summary: whoohoo. I love my Imac and iwork
Comment: My imac is so intuitive. 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 intuitive and easy to use. Makes me look good!
