  • Apple iWork 08s three applications have excellent comment and mark-up support; the ability to open documents saved in the native Open XML format used by Office 2007 for Windows; Page Layout mode gives consumers much of the capability of professional ...
  • We would have preferred to see Apple include some layout-only, contentless templates for Numbers and Pages in Apple iWork 08; clumsy way of creating a layout in Word Processing mode that you can make in Page Layout The Final Word Users comfortable wit...
  • Users comfortable with Microsoft Office may find it takes time to get used to Apple iWork 08. Advanced Word and Excel users, especially those who rely on specialised features and functions, will probably find Apple Pages 08 and Apple Numbers 08 to b...

  • Abstract:  In the world of Windows, Microsofts mighty Office suite has few (if any) serious competitors. Things are very different for Mac users, with Apples iWork bundle presenting a delightfully different take on word processing, number-crunching and present...

  • Attractive and intuitive interfaces, Solid new features for image editing, page layout and printing, Applications integrate well with each other, with iWeb, and with Apple iLife, Reads Microsoft Office 2007 files
  • Lacks an email application, Pivot tables and Visual Basic macros not supported
  • Although Microsoft Office 2007 offers deeper features, particularly for number crunchers, Apple iWork 08 is a strong Mac productivity package and a pleasure to use.

  • Abstract:  With its 08 release, Apple's iWork has finally grown up into a fully-fledged suite. For the bargain basement price of $109 you'll get Pages, a word-processor/page layout application, and Keynote, which is like PowerPoint but with more – and increasingly c...

  • Compatibilité Office, enregistrement au format PDF, simplicité d’utilisation, fonctions d’animation et d’enregistrements vocaux du logiciel de présentation.
  • Pour Mac OS 10.4.10 et versions supérieures uniquement, pas de dictionnaire en français inclus.
  • Cette suite, accessible en terme de prix et de prise main, reste ouverte aux formats Office. Elle enregistre des documents en PDF et détonne par la grâce de son logiciel de présentation. ...

  • De enkla men kraftfulla programmen, god valuta för pengarna
  • Inget databasprogram
