What can I say about this two pearls? I'm impressed.
Not only because they are nicer, easier and more friendly than MS Office Suite, but all the templates are good looking and simple at the same time. And one very important thing: both Pages and Keynote open very quickl, even when opening big *.doc format documents.
I didn't give a try to iWork when I bought my Mac, I had too many *.doc documents, and received so many (very annoying and wasting-time) powerpoint slides, that I didn't even considered the Apple's app.
Then, 2 or 3 months ago, I needed to redesign my portfolio and my CV. So I turned my eyes to iWork and started from scratch. Using a template in Keynote, I was able to finish my portfolio in 3 hours (I'm a 8-year experienced architect and have a lot of images of work). And then again, using another template in Pages, I was able to complete the CV in less than 30 minutes.
And there was more!!! A month ago, I needed my portfolio again, but has to be short one, the best projects, no more than 12 pages. I grabbed my last portfolio from Keynote, but really looking at it, I didn't like the theme, so I tried and changed it to a more sober and white theme. Almost everything was kept in place (I did some tweaking at the basic slides) and I only selected the pages I wanted to delete. Finished in no more than 20 minutes.
Now I find myself quickly opening all the *.docs in the clean interface of Pages, and avoiding the slow opening of Word and it's cluttered interface. I'm seriously thinking to unistall Office. Pages can export to *.doc, and other formats as well. I suposse Numbers can export to Excel format (although I have no need for it right now), and I guess that Keynote can open all those powerpoints that I never see.
See you.
