iWork ’09
Compatible with Word, slightly....
Written by MC from Hebburn
Feb 27, 2009
Yes iWork is compatible with Word. But, it is compatible in that you can open a document in word which doesn't look like the docum…Read moreent that you typed on pages. Colours and layout for instance are not what they are when you saved your file as a .doc
I tried this using fonts which are native both to Pages and Word, such as Arial and Times New Roman. So there should be no reason why there should be problems. But there are, and it is really annoying.
Keynote is excellent, but I have not yet used it save as .ppt feature. I have not yet used Numbers for this purpose either.
However, how can you rate a package which says it is compatible with another format, when it isn't compatible in its entirety! I can't, hence two stars.

The official MS Office Killer
Written by GO from Livermore
Jan 7, 2009
iWork 09 is now my official one stop work and presentation shop. iWork 08 was pretty close but Numbers from 08 lacked the ability …Read moreto do any sort of trend lines which has been rectified in iWork 09. The added templates in pages are also a breath of fresh air as well as the enhanced 3D animations in Keynote. There are a ton of other nice refinements that have been made to iWork for its latest addition and it would take me forever to talk about them all. I guess the main point is if you have been looking for something to completely replace MS Office it now exists and for a price that blows me away. I would like to thank the development team at apple for really listening to there user community.

Could be better
Written by SB from North Las Vegas

--It's good to see Apple doing what MS never could do right. From the beginning, MS products have been riddled with crashes and qu…Read moreirky output whereas these three Apple products work quite well. I highly recommend the 30 day trial version if you've never used these before.
--Pages goes beyond MS Word in that it's more of a competent page layout program (like Adobe's PageMaker or FrameMaker) than a simple word processor. MS Word is better at some things, but Pages is more powerful and stable than the MS product. Word just cannot make a big document without stumbling, often losing data in the process. But Pages can handle the big jobs with flare!
--Numbers does a better job at many things than Excel does (mostly with charts and graphs) but has a distinct drawback for those who want to label narrow columns with vertical text... it can't rotate text like Excel. I found Numbers to be a little odd in the way it does things (I've been using Excel for over two decades, so that may have something to do with it) but if it rotated text I'd learn to get over the differences and drop Excel.
--Keynote is better than the Mac version of PP, but the XP version of PP can stand up pretty well to Keynote. Still, I prefer the Mac OS to Windose so PP is no longer used.
--Overall, I like all three and the price cannot be beat, but I would have really appreciated rotatable text in this version of Numbers. Heck, if the dweebs at MS can do it, so should the geniuses at Apple.(585 of 660 people found this review useful)

Although some features don't get much of an upgrade over iWork '08, the new version of iWork is well worth the upgrade! It featur…Read morees a host of features that were missing in previous versions, as well as many new themes and better integration for Microsoft Office files. As an added bonus, it loads a lot faster than previous versions of iWork and has so far been very stable. I would give this product 6 stars if it were possible, so, go and buy it (or download the 30 day free trial and give it a test run).
