Software Reviews of Apple iWork '08 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: iWork is Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

I used the 30day trial that came with my new Mac and loved it. Pages made it really easy to update and change the layout of my resume. I did not get frustrated like I usually do with Word. I also found a professional invoice template that I used for some contract work I did. It was great and did not take much time.

My first keynote presentation was a great experience. I was able to layout the graphics and text just like I wanted. Building animations was really simple and the whole thing looked very professional.

The defaults for all of iWork apps just looks so good, you often don't have to change much. If you want to customize, that is easy also.

So far I have not had much trouble working with Office docs. The the great user experience of iWork offsets the minor conversion issues.

Customer Review: Apple iWork-great product
Summary: 5 Stars

iWork is Apple's version of Microsoft Works. Has a word processor, Pages; a presentation maker, Keynote; and a spread sheet, Numbers. All meet or excide my needs.

Customer Review: No default control
Summary: 5 Stars

Do not like like lack of ability to change default setting in Numbers. That includws color of grid lines. My eyesight is poor. Also. no way to print row and column headings.

Customer Review: iWorks
Summary: 4 Stars

Generally satisfied. I wish Numbers had been accompanied by a good tutorial. It is quite different from MS Office which I am fairly acquainted with so better instructions would be handy. Also some of the most usable MS Office attributes are missing.

Customer Review: Not an Office substitute
Summary: 2 Stars

This program is great... if you are operating in an environment full of Mac users or not trading files with anyone at all. When it comes to working with Microsoft files (which dominate the rest of the working and academic world) this package falls flat. Formatting goes missing, documents look funny, and nothing is ever quite the way you expected it to be.

I have one word for Office users moving to Mac: DON'T. Shell out the extra cash for Office 2008 for Mac.
