Pages 2
Introducing Pages 2. Thanks to new text and image editing tools, it's the easiest way to look good in print. Use Apple-designed templates to build stunning documents in minutes. Quickly add photos with the built-in iLife Media Browser. Format your text in minutes with elegant predefined styles. Add punch to your page with multiple columns, self-calculating tables, and engaging 3D charts.

Add modern design -- Start with a template in Pages 2 and your document is halfway to gorgeous. Choose from 25 new templates, including posters, flyers, scrapbooks, folding cards, technical reports, business invoices, proposals, screenplays, and storyboards.

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.

Sign, seal, deliver -- Never again fear the mail merge. Pages 2 boasts seamless integration with Mac OS X Address Book, so creating personalized documents for individuals or groups is suddenly simple. Stationery templates offer predefined Address Book links: all you do is drag in contacts and Pages automatically personalizes your documents to match.

Thank you, notes -- With new reviewer comments in Pages 2, you can take notes. Type reminders, to-dos, or revision notes right on your document. Every comment you make appears in a handy sidebar that won't affect layout or pagination. Plus, you can easily hide comments so they won't clutter up your document and keep you from the important business of writing, editing, and printing.

Keynote 3 offers the easiest way to create stunning presentations.

Choose from beautiful presentation templates.

Wow your audience with beautiful transitions and effects.

Keynote 3
Grab and hold your audience's attention with Keynote 3, the latest generation of Apple's stunning presentation software. Perhaps you'd like to make a business proposal. Highlight the quarter's results for investors. Dazzle viewers with your photos of the southwest. Whatever your story, make it into an exquisite presentation with laser-sharp graphics.

Captivate any audience -- Transitions and effects in Keynote 3 help you build cinema-quality presentations. New transitions give you more choices for transporting your audience from slide to slide, flexible text animation puts your words in the spotlight, and interleaved builds offer additional options for every element in your slides.

Enjoy variations on a theme -- Themes in Keynote 3 include everything you need to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout your presentation. Keynote 3 offers eye-popping new HD themes ideal for high-definition displays (1920x1080 resolution), as well as new themes for standard-definition displays. Plus, themes now include a coordinated set of textures and colors designed for 3D charts, and master slides with bulleted text in multiple columns.

Shape your slides -- Add some artistic influence to your presentation, thanks to 10 different shapes in Keynote 3. Choose from stars and polygons, then customize your shapes by adding points and sides. And if you can't find the perfect shape, new Bezier curves let you personalize existing shapes or create your own from scratch. When you're done shaping up, you can easily mask a photo using any standard or custom shape.

You can compute -- With room for text, graphics, and photos, tables in Keynote 3 let you perform simple, spreadsheet-style calculations without leaving your slide. That means you can change your presentation on a dime -- even if final data arrives late.

Duly noted -- Note to self: let Keynote 3 help you organize your thoughts with new reviewer comments. Leave yourself presentation pointers, jot down a list or two, even incorporate feedback from rehearsals. These handy comments behave like sticky notes, so they're easy to write, edit, and move around on your slides. Plus, they disappear in presentation mode, keeping everything clutter-free.

Reader Reviews
iWork contains both Pages 2 (a word processing/page layout application) and Keynote 3 (a presentation application). These apps are designed to work as intuitively as iTunes, iPhoto and the other applications from the iLife suite. In fact both Pages and Keynote are fully integrated with iLife so adding files from any of the iLife applications to a Pages or Keynote document is as easy as drag and drop. I mainly use Pages and have created newsletters, envelopes, flyers and personal letters. I'd estimate I worked an average of 20 to 30 minutes on the flyers I have created, and most of that time was spent on the actual text of the document. Similar projects with all the formatting, colors, images and boxes, have easily taken me double that time using Word and AppleWorks. Pages let you export your document in Word, PDF and HTML formats, however I have found that the exported files sometimes don't perfectly mirror the original. Drop shadows didn't appear and positioning was slightly off. Keynote has similar exporting problems. If you need to share actual files with others, the exporting problems in iWork will give you quite a few headaches. Thankfully, I'm printing out all my documents or sharing them with other iWork users. The iWork interface is seamless and beautiful and offers many useful templates. These templates are so good that I'd like to se even more of them included. But if the templates don't offer what you're looking for then iWork lets you customize them to your tastes/needs or else create your very own templates from scratch. A few of the included templates give me a bit of lag when using them but it's nothing egregious. Aside from that minor quibble the only complaint I have is the trouble I have exporting my files to other formats. If you routinely create letters, flyers or presentations, then you owe it to yourself to pick up iWork. Why? Well, iWork works hard for you by expanding your options and helping you create beautiful projects in a fraction of the time it would take with other software. And it does it all with a pleasing visual flair. However, users thinking of upgrading from iWork '05 should perhaps wait for the next version of this package since nothing that new has beeen inturoduced this time. About the only new feature added to iWork '06 is support for basic table functions. The rest of the additions are new templates and effects, that while georgeous, don't improve or add to the functionality of either application. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
