Now you can clip your videos to just the segment you want, and Keynote trims any unused video frames. You also can easily convert images to slide resolution to trim even more.
Pages Pages '09 offers feature-rich word processing and layout tools alongside intuitive graphics features to make your projects both easy to make and easy on the eyes. Though not as deep as Microsoft Word for formatting and layout options, Pages now offers even more variety with 40 new templates, including stationary sets and a variety of newsletter designs.
Added support for EndNote X2 sold separately makes adding bibliographic references to your project extremely easy, and new support for MathType 6 sold separately makes adding mathematical equations a snap.
New features to Pages '09 include a full-screen view to eliminate distractions while you write. While you work in full-screen, just mouse to the top and left side of your screen to quickly reveal Pages' Contextual Format Bar and a navigation pane. There are several third-party apps available that offer similar distraction-free writing and we were happy to see this feature added to Apple's word processor. While Microsoft Word offers a full-screen reading layout, Apple's use of the black background with mouseable menus only when you want them makes it even more distraction free.
Pages '09 also adds dynamic outlines, letting you collapse and expand your bullet points with the click of your mouse, drag-and-drop topics to anywhere you like, and add elements such as images and video. Helpful options, including the ability to collapse outlines to the first line of lengthy topics, make it easy to get to the information you want to modify quickly, keeping your outlines about ideas.
You also can now use data from any Numbers Apple's spreadsheet app noted below table directly in Pages. But what makes this feature truly useful is that your table or graph will automatically update in Pages with the click of a button when you update data in the Numbers file.
Numbers Numbers '09 has now been in the wild for a year and--with several new enhancements adding even more time-saving features--it's obvious Apple has been paying attention to its audience.
While it keeps the familiar feel of Microsoft's Excel, Numbers '09 offers much smarter ways of dealing with data, tables, and charts. While engineers, accountants, and science-related professionals may require some of Excel's more robust tools, those with small businesses or other spreadsheet-related needs will find Numbers '09 easy to work with. In the intermediate years, Apple updated the three iWork applications—Keynote, Pages, and Numbers—to support features such as the new document model i.
But these were all smaller wrinkles. Long-standing issues and the most requested missing features haven't been addressed since the introduction of iWork ' Finally, Apple has released the update we've all been waiting for: iWork '13, Keynote 6.
Apparently the band has split up. The iWork name is gone from Apple's website except for some small print at the bottom of a few pages and long-defunct pages promoting previous versions. It's not a total surprise, as the three apps have also been for sale individually ever since they came to the Mac and iOS app stores. In a post-April world , a new release of Apple productivity software can only be met with trepidation by current users. So, predictably, many initial reactions were negative as the list of missing features kept growing.
It's obvious that Apple has been aggressively moving forward with simplifying their software in order to reach new users. This means longtime users of the older, complex versions may see features they like or depend on disappear. Unsurprisingly, we tend to hear from those users. But we don't hear from all the people who couldn't figure out the old versions and are happy something now addresses their needs. Let's take a closer look at the productivity suite formerly known as iWork and see just how much Apple got right and wrong.
And naturally, during the writing of this review, Apple took a nearly unprecedented step: the company revealed a list of missing features that will be brought back in the next six months.
Just before publication, the first batch of small changes appeared. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the new iWork happens before opening any single program: for many people, these newest updates won't involve any transactions. For existing iWork users, there's a free upgrade through the App Store—even for those of us who bought iWork '09 the old-fashioned way or just installed the trial version.
And who knows what this says about Apple's confidence in the new release, but the iWork'09 apps are kept when installing the new versions. The new iWork applications do not come pre-installed on new Macs, however.
But if you open the App Store, you'll be greeted with a message informing you that the apps are available to download for free. Sign in with an account and the applications are then tied to that account. Non-solid text outlines are converted to solid outlines. Embedded web videos are converted to images that link to the videos online.
Pages: Tables of contents are converted to plain text. They don't update automatically in Pages ' Annotations are removed. Page backgrounds are removed. Links to pages are removed.
Captions are removed from tables placed inline with text. Right-to-left sheets like Arabic and Hebrew aren't supported.
Table Categories Categories that group by day of week are changed to group by unique values. Chart references to summaries are replaced with the last calculated values. Charts that refer to a range that includes cells in multiple groups use the last calculated values instead of references.
Formulas that refer to a range that includes cells in multiple groups are replaced with the last calculated values. Formulas that refer to summaries are replaced with the last calculated values. Inline objects are moved to sheets. Links to sheets are removed. Captions are removed from tables and charts. Pivot tables are converted to standard tables. Keynote: Transitions, build-in effects, and build-out effects that aren't available in Keynote '09 are converted to Dissolve.
The Object Flip transition is renamed Revolve. Emphasis builds are removed. Comments on table cells are removed. The decision centers around three basic issues — cost, environment, relationships and tolerance. The good news is you can download the suite of apps for a day trial from Apple. The differences between the three price point options can be seen as follows:. As you can see the only real difference between the two versions of Office is Outlook.
If you need a powerful email, calendar and task manager all in one installed on your computer, then you have once choice. And it will cost you. But for most people that is not the case. That brings us to the second major question in making this choice. If you work in a collaborative environment with people who all use Office and you will be sharing documents frequently, then choosing Office is likely your best bet.
But get complicated and conversion will be a nightmare. And Numbers is just not comparable to Excel for complex spreadsheets.
