Starting Out with iWork ’09
In This Chapter
Leaving the past behind
The iWork timesavers: Do it once, do it right, and reuse it
W
ord processing and spreadsheet applications are among the most
widely used software products on personal computers; presentation
software is a close runner-up. Having started from scratch on the hardware
side and then the operating system side, people at Apple started dreaming
about what they could do if they were to start from scratch to write modern
versions of word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. They
knew they’d have to follow their recent advertising campaign theme: Think
Different.
Freed from supporting older operating systems or from foregoing features
that couldn’t be implemented on Windows, they began to dream about how
good those programs could be if they could start over.
So they did.
Welcome to iWork.
I assume you already have a Mac with iWork ’09 installed. If you need more
assistance with installations, go to www.apple.com/support/software.
Living the Suite Life
A suite of applications provides a collection of applications that can work
together. For example:
Adobe Creative Suite combines graphics-oriented applications.
Apple iLife combines iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, and
GarageBand.
