iWork ‘09

iWork ’09, Apple’s office productivity suite, is the easiest way to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations the Mac way. Pages is both a streamlined word processor and an easy-to-use page layout application. It allows you to be a writer one minute and a designer the next, always with a perfect document in the works. Numbers, with its’ great-looking templates, easy-to-create formulas, and dynamic tables and charts, gives you simple ways to make sense of your data. Use Keynote to create your presentations, and you’ll be a hard act to follow. Its’ powerful yet easy-to-use tools and dazzling effects put the show in slideshow. Packed with over 250 Apple-designed themes and templates—including 60 new designs overall—iWork lets you create projects that look polished from the first page or slide. And iWork is compatible with Microsoft Office, so it’s easy to share your work.

iWork ‘09 Reviews:
Two of the offerings in iWork, Pages and Numbers, are only modestly useful for me; after years of using Word and Excel, I’m largely used to them and have little reason to turn to something else. (The one exception is graphs. Numbers can produce much, much more attractive, Tufte-approved graphs than Excel.)

But for me, Keynote ‘09 alone justifies the investment. I don’t give presentations very often, but when I do, PowerPoint is just awful. Keynote ‘09 not only has a superior interface and the ability to produce far prettier slides and more eye-grabbing transitions, it also has integrated support for MathType, which is a huge plus for me as a graduate student. Once you’ve learned to use Keynote, you won’t want to use anything else.

As a Vista-fugue, the main reasons for even bothering with a `Bootcamp’ Windows installation were Microsoft “Office” and Intuit’s “Quicken/Turbotax”, both richer-featured in their PC than in their Mac releases. Disappointingly, iWork ‘08 ‘Pages’ performed better as an image-based page layout package for the multimedia center crowd, proving woefully underpowered in a professional business office … crippled by the tediously awkward conversion hassle from *.doc to *.pages documents.
