Missing Features? Flash from Keynote
Written by WC from Bristow
Jan 28, 2009
I really depend upon Keynote's ability to export to QuickTime, MPEG-4 and Flash. I cannot find the Flash output. That is a non-starter for me. Must dig deeper but am very impressed by the updates overall in the software!

A Significant Improvement Over Last Year's iWork
Written by GG from Hamilton
Jan 22, 2009
I do a lot of work with spreadsheets, databases, and word processors in my work for a non-profit organization, and iWork '09 is simply perfect for me. My two major complaints with the previous version of iWork were the lack of ability to freeze header rows and columns in Numbers and to merge Numbers and Pages documents. Both appear in '09, and they simply work great. In the past I had to continue using Microsoft Office in order to do mail merges and to handle particular types of documents, but those days are almost past. With its increased functionality, I have almost no need for Office anymore. The only thing still missing from Pages (as far as I know) is the ability to create labels using pre-existing label templates that line up with a company such as Avery. (I could be wrong about this, but I haven't found a way to do this in Pages yet.) Once Apple adds this feature, Office will be history on my MacBook.

Mostly impressed
Written by CC from Ottawa

I think that Apple has a very good suit of productivity tools considering the price that it is being sold for. If you compare the product, keynote is definitely the best presentation tool avaible in the market because it has many features and uses very powerfull animation options. Page has greatly improved from the 08 version and is now much more focused on being a good word processor. Howerver, their is still a lot of room for improvement. One feature that would be nice would be if it were possible to see how different fonts or colors would change the appearence of the text befor making the actual changes. Finally, numbers has had the most improvement from the three applications especially because of the new formulas that have been added. Howerver, Excel is still much farther ahead.
