Great Product
Written by DS from Rochdale
Jan 6, 2009
Great update to the previous version. Now includes additions such as the ability to undelete actions at last! You can now send documents directly into e-mails as PDF / Word / Excel formats and also publish documents to iWork for others to add notes and also to download. Pages now includes mail merge with numbers, a great full screen view and lots of other additions which makes it more intuitive to use. Numbers at last gives the average user much easy ways of adding formulas and table categories to spreadsheets.
As an average user who uses the software for home and small business, it does everything that i need and now with the easier ways of sharing documents in the mainstream formats i can completely ditch office for mac. …More269 of 286 people found this useful

A mixed bag...
Written by FB from London
Jan 12, 2009
Numbers09 finally delivers error bars! Pages09 still doesn't cope with tables very well. You can't get a TOC and TOF in the same document, but EndNote X2 is supported. Keynote 09 fixes an export bug that caused presentations with presentation notes to be unreadable in Powerpoint. C'mon Apple... you're nearly there! …More

iWork
A pretty good purchase
Written by DG from Tullamore
Aug 24, 2009
Bought this a few months ago because Office for Mac just didn't work for me and I really didn't like it, it just seemed to be too slow. So got iWorks and its a treat to use.
Pages, is very nice to use, the inspector has all the functions you need when writing your docs and you can drag it around the screen to suite your needs. Pages all in all is a very nice piece of software for the price. The layout of the UI is very intuitive and just feels like every thing is where it should be. Any advanced functions you need are in the inspector and you don't find yourself spending too long searching for the option.
Keynote, is very good if not better alternative to PowerPoint. The templates are very crisp, clean and very pleasing to the eye when your doing your presentations. When its connected to a projector it has pretty much the same functions and display as PowerPoint on the second screen
Numbers is very good at working with small sets of numbers. The graphs that you can create again are more clean and crisp then the Office counterpart. But when you have large data sets in the range of thousands, Numbers gets very very slow, much slower that it should be. It is still usable but you could be waiting for 2-4 seconds for any mouse click or update.
All in all, a great alternative to Outlook, the fonts, graphics and design of the UI make it very nice to use and a pleasure to work with. …More44 of 46 people found this useful

Blows Office Away
Written by SG

After using Office for Mac, I decided to make the switch to iWork and never looked back. It's intuitive, if you want to do something, there's a button that allows you to do it. The Inspector is brilliant, and I've created some well laid out things in Pages, some easy to ready spreadsheets in Numbers and some amazing Slideshows in Keynote!
Great suite of products, and the perfect addition to any Mac. …More44 of 47 people found this useful
