iWork

It is evident from the very name of Apple’s iWork application that it includes a set of functions for aiding professional needs and is somewhat similar to the Microsoft Office application. However, it is definitely a bit different from the Mac version of Microsoft Office as it has a different purpose and concentrates more on the presentation aspect rather than the analytical aspect and is available with a cheaper price tag. The main components of the Apple iWork application includes a spreadsheet function known as numbers, a package containing necessary presentation related paraphernalia called Keynote and a word processing and desktop publishing application known as Pages.

The Pages section constitutes certain application formats like invitations, resume, educational and marketing projects, journals etc and at the same time it also possesses a media browser which allows the inclusion of videos, music files and pictures from iMovie, iTunes and iPhoto. The following formatted files can be saved in Pages- .doc, .pdf, .txt, .html, .pages etc. One of the most significant applications of the Apple iWork is offered by the presentation section called Keynote and while it is a bit similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint functions, it possesses certain individual characteristics. It is adaptable enough to include various file formats like .pdf, .ppt, .key etc and is a slideshow presentation specialist. One major feature of this Keynote application is the fact that in case of slideshow presentation it allows the usage of animation which can at times enhance the quality of the presentation. The spreadsheet application called Numbers is a latest innovation developed by Apple Works which was added to the iWork function in its latest version known as iWork ’08 and is the first of its kind.

iWork ’08 is the latest update of iWork to reach the market and this version included various modifications in the Keynote and Pages applications. However, the hard disk capacity had shrunk compared to previous versions.
