Too many people have been misled into believing that Apple demands payment for everything. You can use it for free, even if you have never purchased an Apple product. Most people are unaware that iWork is free for anyone to use.
Their cheaper competitors are selling you much less, and you will end up spending more money in the long run. It’s part of the reason why Apple products are “so expensive”. iWork is free because Apple device sales subsidize its costs. Anyone with an iCloud account can use Pages, Numbers, Keynote and more for free. I use iWork because it’s free and good enough. Ugh! Sometimes tech companies are so smart that they’re actually stupid. The workaround is to copy it to a plain text editor and then copy it to your word processor. The copied text should fit the style of the inserted document in the vast majority of cases, and should therefore be the default. I really don’t care for any of the technology, from most tech companies, that keeps the original style of copied text.
Is this a feature or a bug? Do people really want text automatically pasted in some strange box? I can’t stand this “beature” (mysterious hybrid of a feature and a bug). The workaround is to type a few characters in the document and then paste the text. This usually happens with a brand new document. For example, if I copy and paste text into a Pages document, it will often paste the text in a box. Apple’s word processor has an annoying tendency to do things automatically - things that I don’t want done. I don’t need to transfer the file explicitly. Later, I may proofread and publish it on my Mac. For example, I am writing this article on my iPad right now. I use Pages to write documents, which I can access anywhere. My favorite feature of iWork is that it works over the cloud. iWork also allows similar customization and interactivity with AppleScript. I used these features early in my career to create mailing labels from a database. Microsoft Office allows developers to embed code into documents, making traditionally static pages more dynamic. Keynote’s lack of interruption from notifications actually drove many users from Microsoft Office to iWork.ĭespite the notion that Apple products are simplistic, both office suites offer advanced features. Users seem to like Pages’ layout features better than Word’s. Although the two software suites differ slightly, some prefer one over the other. Table of Contents:Īpple’s iWork office suite is analogous to Microsoft Office. The instructions in this article will also work on Linux, Chrome OS and just about any modern computer. This article shows you how to use iWork on macOS and Windows for free. It functions much like Microsoft Office or LibreOffice. IWork is Apple’s suite of office applications.
