Apple’s Pages doesn’t exactly take a Word document seamlessly. There are formatting and font inconsistencies. I would recommend not thinking iWork as an easy surrogate for Office. I’m an Apple adherent and simply install Office for Mac. This works fine 99% of the time, and Office for Mac has improved in functionality and stability over the past 5 years.
RE: Office for Mac
Well, does Apple have an iWork for Windows?
Windows doesn’t exactly take other windows programs seemlessly either. The author is assuming that all technology offerings in the office are on the latest bleeding edge version of Windiws.
Instead, most offices have older, middle aged and newer machines working side by side. This can cause a lot of compatability problems.
NONE of our work computeres are on Wndows 8 ‘whater’ yet. New company machones are still being purchased on Windows 7.
The rollout of Windows 8, whole not as bad as AFA rollout, stunk to high heaven. Still lookimg at Windows 8 versions with a cautious eye.
Integrating 8 machines into a 7 anfpd older environment will be time intensive...
Does Office for Mac work well with the iPad?
I’ve tried several apps like QuickOffice, Docs Unlimited, etc. but they just don’t do what they say they’ll do. I find it very hard or difficult to edit Excel or Word with any of those apps.
Does the Office for Mac work better than those?
