Innovative, powerful, and intuitive, Numbers '08 lets you do everything from setting up your family budget to completing a lab report to creating detailed financial documents. span class="h3color" pbIntelligent tables./bbr Turning the tables on other spreadsheet programs, Numbers '08 offers a fundamentally better way to organize data and manage lists. And it goes a step further by establishing an entirely new paradigm with its innovative and intelligent tables. /span pbEasy table setup./bbr Because each Numbers table has its own grid of rows and columns, you can format each table independently to solve specific needs. Adding, moving, and adjusting row and column size has no effect on other tables. And making those adjustments is easy. Grow your table by grabbing a table corner and pulling it to the right for more columns or down for more rows. pOn each table's address tabs, you'll find pull-down menus containing frequently used tools for adding, deleting, hiding, or sorting rows and columns in the row and column reference tabs. A handy Format Bar offers one-click data formatting. pbHighly flexible./bbr Traditional spreadsheets lock you into a rigid matrix of rows and columns. Numbers lets you create multiple resizable tables on a flexible canvas. Each table is a fully functional spreadsheet that can consist of hundreds of cells or just a few. Add a header or a footer row for summary calculations with a single click. pbNavigate quickly and easily./bbr Because Numbers lists every sheet, table, and chart as an outline in the Sheets pane, it's easy to swiftly navigate through your document. table width="329" cellpadding="10" align="right" tr td align="center"img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/numbers-small-1.png" border="0" psmallbiAn impressive collection of more than 35 Apple-designed themes means you can create a cinema-quality presentation in minutes./i/b/small /td /tr tr td align="center"img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/numbers-small-2.png" border="0" psmallbiCreate images you need on the spot using predrawn shapes.

Adding one is as simple as dropping it into a cell. And when you create tables with header rows and columns, Numbers uses the data you enter in header cells to create cell names like "2007 Gross Sales" instead of "L26." pbWhat if?/bbr Numbers offers a variety of novel data input methods, allowing you to format cells as sliders or steppers. These offer a great option for "what if" scenarios, letting you quickly change variables and immediately see the results. pbAdd data from Address Book./bbr Why enter data contact by contact? Working seamlessly with Address Book, Numbers lets you drag a list of contacts from Address Book into a table. In minutes, you're working with data rather than entering it. pbPredictable sorting and filtering./bbr Easily organize and analyze lists of data. With Numbers, you can sort complete rows in a table by column, or filter rows based on the numerical, text, or date values in their cells. span class="h3color" pbImpressive results fast./bbr With its flexible templates and a powerful set of easy-to-use tools, Numbers '08 lets you build exceptional spreadsheets--impressive to look at and simple to understand--in minutes. /span pbApple-designed templates./bbr You can be crunching numbers quickly if you start with one of the Apple-designed templates that come with Numbers. Templates include preconfigured tables and charts with built-in formulas and sample data. pbControl the way your spreadsheet looks./bbr Numbers lets you arrange tables, charts, text, and graphics anywhere on its free-form canvas. Design the perfect spreadsheet using alignment guides, rulers, masking, and other tools. pbAdd a slide of iLife./bbr Turn your spreadsheets into persuasive documents. Use the built-in Media Browser to browse and preview your photos, movies, and music. Then drag the files you want into your spreadsheet. pbStylish tables, impressive charts./bbr Each Numbers spreadsheet comes with a list of predesigned styles that make it easy to create beautifully formatted tables. You can add 2D and 3D charts with a single click, customizing them with more than 20 sets of chart textures. pbPrint without surprises./bbr When it's time to print a spreadsheet, use the interactive print view to scale and arrange your document to print exactly as you like. span class="h3color" pbWidely compatible./bbr Numbers '08 gets along famously with Microsoft Excel, letting you import Excel spreadsheets and export Numbers '08 documents for Excel users. /span pbNumbers excels at Excel./bbr Numbers handily imports spreadsheets created in earlier Excel formats, as well as Excel 2007 documents created in new Office Open XML formats. pIf you have AppleWorks documents, you can give them a brand-new home in Numbers. They import quickly so you can take advantage of all the flexibility and power of Numbers '08. pbParlez-vous "OFX"?/bbr Truly multilingual, Numbers imports documents in many common file formats. That includes text documents saved in Comma Separated Values (CSV), tab-delimited files. And you can even drop onto your Numbers table Address Book cards, and Open Financial Exchange format files. pbSharing your spreadsheets./bbr Since you can export spreadsheets created in Numbers in the Excel .xls format. Excel users on either a Mac or Windows PC can open your exported Numbers documents. pYou can also export your documents in PDF or CSV format. If you'd like to publish your spreadsheets on the Internet, send them to iWeb as a PDF or Numbers document.

 perfect substitute of MS Office December 27, 2008
Apple's iWork 08 is a great product and the perfect substitute of MicroSoft's Office suite.
Pages works beautifully... with room for improvement December 24, 2008
I've been a Mac user and Microsoft Word user since 1984.
br /
br /I made the switch to Pages a year or so ago, and while I periodically still need Word, for the most part, I've converted to Pages. If I do use Word today, it's more out of habit than anything else, because Pages has performed to my expectations and has done whatever I've asked it to do, including being able to read Word documents and "save as" Word docs for my Windoze friends.
br /
br /As an author, I put Word through paces; as a Publisher, even more so. Pages is ahead of Word in that it is *ridiculously* easy to create a PDF file in Pages: Simply "save as" PDF. Word, however, involved needing to convert it which would "need distiller properly installed", and you'd have to "print" it as a PDF file as opposed to saving it as one. It's an additional and apparently unnecessary step, but typical of Microsoft.
br /
br /Pages hasn't frozen on me yet. Always a plus. However, one area that could use improvement is its standard templates. Word comes with far more templates of various types than Pages. There are other areas as well, but it could stem more from my being so used to Word, more than a deficiency on Pages' part. One thing I wouldn't want is for Pages to become excessively bloated and inappropriately priced like Word (and Office).
br /
br /I haven't needed to use the other software included in iWork yet, so no comments there.
br /
br /For the price, Pages does the job, and it's worth it to be free of the Microsoft monopoly.
iWork, finally I can read... December 20, 2008
My mother keeps sending me .pps files, which on a Mac I can not read or even open. However, I found out that Keynote, which is part of iWork, opens and plays them with no problem. There are a few files that should have sound, but I don't seem to get the sound. However, despite that one flaw I can a least get the images and the slideshow effect that you usually get when on a PC. I'd say it's worth the money to purchase this because the three programs that come in iWorks are similar programs found on PC so you can now do much more on a Mac than you could before!
iWork as gift December 6, 2008

I purchased iWork as a gift for two granddaughters, ages 11 and 13. I've enjoyed using it and I hope they will too.
Worth it for Keynote alone, all around very good November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Keynote is so much more intuitive and polished than Powerpoint that I would gladly pay twice the price for Keynote alone. I also like Pages very much for its elegant and simple approach, though it doesn't beat Word by nearly as much as Keynote beats Powerpoint. Numbers still needs some work, but is already very promising (I still use Excel for more complex tasks.
br /
br /My one big gripe is the lack of an auto-save function. These applications do crash (though Keynote never crashed on me during a presentation) and I have lost many hours of work because I didn't save often enough. So: Make sure to save often!
