This guide is available to download as a free PDF. Feel free to copy and share this with your friends and family.The unfamiliar interface and features of the iWork apps represented a learning curve that I didn’t have the time or the inclination to navigate. Until recently.As part of my attempt to Your Mac's interface is clean and beautiful as it is, but with a few tweaks here and there, you can polish it up some more for a more pleasant desktop experience., I’m exploring various first party macOS apps such as, and. I invite you to explore them along with me. You might just discover that iWork has the potential to be your go-to office suite after all. What’s in a Name?Apple’s office productivity apps were collectively known as iWork. That changed (or so it seems) once the applications in the suite — Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — made an appearance as individual apps on the Mac App Store.
But the “iWork” name persists on the Apple website, so we’ll stick with that name in the interest of clarity and simplicity.To be clear, Pages is for word processing, Numbers is for creating spreadsheets, and Keynote is for creating presentations. Get Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on Your MacIf you bought a Mac on or after October 1, 2013, it probably came with Pages, Numbers, and Keynote pre-installed. In any case, it qualifies for a free installation of the iWork apps, and you can download them from the Mac App Store anytime.For a 30-day window after your Mac purchase, you can also get the iWork apps for free via Apple’s Up-To-Date program. Conditions apply! Many long-time Office users will be unwilling to transition away from the apps they're so used to working with, but it's time to give iWork another chance.
You should install the suite though.If you have a pre-2013 Mac, which doesn’t qualify for free installation of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, downloading them will set you back $19.99 per app.If you already have the iWork apps installed on your Mac, upgrade them to their latest versions: Pages 6, Numbers 4, and Keynote 7. Although Apple has improved the iWork apps over the years and introduced a few much-needed features, it has also removed some good features in the process. At least that’s what some seasoned iWork users have reported on the web. Some of the popular old features are making a comeback though.i’ll wait to update iwork.
It’s already missing features i need and i don’t wanna lose more.— Mike Beasley (@MikeBeas)What You Can Do With iWork AppsIf your office requirements are basic, Microsoft Office-like applications can feel like too much work to figure out. Speaking of their interface, the number and variety of menus, toolbars, buttons, tabs, and links dotting the screen can be overwhelming.I hate the ribbon in Microsoft Office.
I thought it might become superior after I got used to it. I still can't find anything.— Andrew Wright (@wrightak). In contrast, the clean and clutter-free interface of Apple’s office applications can be comforting. Don’t equate the lack of visual elements with a lack of features though. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are full of features to help you create stunning word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Password-protected ones at that.Let’s see what we can do across any and all three iWork apps.
I’ll leave the application-specific features for you to discover on your own. Set Up a Distraction-Free ScreenPages, Numbers, and Keynote have similar interfaces and present their features in an easy-to-digest format. Options and settings stay hidden until you need them.
They appear based on context, such as when you select a certain element on the page or click on a specific toolbar button.All formatting options are accessible from the menu bar, which isn’t much of a distraction because you can Think you've found all the new features in El Capitan? There is a bounty of handy features that haven't gotten a lot of press.
In each iWork application, there’s one primary toolbar and one primary sidebar (called Inspector) to deal with. You can hide both via the View menu to create a distraction-free interface. It’s a pity those two elements don’t disappear automatically when you switch to full screen mode.Of course, the layout changes a little depending on the iWork application you’re in. For example, Pages gets a word count display, Numbers gets an extra set of tabs for sheets, and Keynote gets an extra sidebar for slide thumbnails.
Keep in mind that some these elements won’t show up by default.All in all, iWork makes for a soothing (I would say enjoyable) experience. Memorize the keyboard shortcuts for toggling the toolbar ( Cmd + Option + T), Inspector ( Cmd + Option + I), and Full Screen mode ( Ctrl + Cmd + F) and you can have a distraction-free setup super quick any time you wish. Work From a TemplateTemplates are Are there documents that you write over and over again? Whether it's meeting agendas, invoices, or status reports, templates could make your work easier. We have compiled 10 template ideas to save you time.
On any document. They take away the fear of the blank page and save you time you would otherwise have spent on setting up a document from scratch and making it pretty.All three iWork apps give you a decent set of starter templates covering a wide range of requirements, not something slapped together haphazardly either. The templates are beautiful and loo professional. They’ll pop up whenever you open an iWork app and choose to create a new document.Pages has templates for resumes, flyers, business cards, newsletters, birthday cards, and so on.Numbers covers everything from personal finance to education to business. You’ll find templates for net worth calculations, invoices, travel planning, loan comparison, recipes, and grade books.Keynote’s templates are more like visual themes that will set the tone of your presentation.Of course, you don’t have to start with a template. You can start with a blank document and build it up as you go along, and maybe even turn that into a custom template for future use. You can even The price isn’t the only reason to give Pages a spin — it's packed with ready-to-use templates that will make your work look fantastic.
Shared online. Style ContentIn a few clicks you can change the look and feel of anything you put into an iWork document.
You get enough options to tweak the size, color, and arrangement of text and other elements. To reveal the formatting options, click on the Format button (paintbrush icon) in the top right section of any iWork app.Now, what you see in the fly-out Format menu will vary depending on the application you’re in and the element you have selected in the document.For example, in Pages, if you have selected a bit of text, you’ll see options to change the text style, add borders, remove ligatures, and so on. If you have selected an image, you’ll see options to enhance it, replace it, make bits of the image transparent, and so on.
In Keynote, you can add effects and edit the master slide via the formatting sidebar.Insert GraphicsInformation is easier to grasp at a glance when you distill it into a graphic like an image, table, or a chart. You can insert any or all of those three elements in an iWork document via the Table, Chart, and Media buttons placed in the central section of the toolbar.With the Media button you can add not only images, but also audio and video files. The Chart button gives you many 2D and 3D charts to pick from, and some interactive ones too!If you want to add shapes and lines to the document, click on the Shape button to get started.
It includes a pen tool to create custom shapes.Consider the graphic elements as mere starting points or templates. You can transform their look via the Format sidebar menu like you would do for text and images.Work With Microsoft Office FilesiWork saves files in Apple’s proprietary file formats by default.

We'll give you a quick primer on rare, yet useful office file types and what you can use them for., you can export files to other formats including PDF, EPUB, CSV, HTML, and QuickTime, depending on the application you’re exporting from.You might come across the odd formatting problem with imported Office files, but it won’t seem “unfixable” once you have a better idea of how iWork works. Open Multiple Documents Side by SideOS X is dead, long live macOS., many stock apps including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote support tabs.Opening, closing, and switching tabs in iWork apps works like it does in Safari and other mainstream browsers, so you’ll likely already be used to the feature. A tabbed interface means you don’t need frenzied three-finger slides on the trackpad to switch between multiple documents. A simple point-and-click action or a keyboard shortcut ( Ctrl + Tab) will do.I would recommend hiding the tab bar from the View menu to get a little more screen space.
That bar will show up by itself anyway when you open multiple documents. You could also use the shortcut Shift + Cmd + T to toggle the tab bar.
Add CommentsAdding comments to specific portions of a document is a great way to leave notes for yourself and/or others. Whether you want to ask a question, highlight a correction, or add a suggestion, placing a comment in the relevant location works as an effective reminder to take action.To add a comment to an iWork document, select any element within it and click on the Comment button in the toolbar.
A small yellow box pops up near the selected element for you to enter your comment.Using the navigational arrows in the comment box you can go back and forth among all the comments in the document. As you do, the relevant section of the document appears highlighted.
You’ll find a Delete button for each comment, and you can get rid of any of the comments from a single comment box.If you want to see all the comments in a neater format, click on View Show Comments Pane. This shows the comments in a sidebar list.Use iWork Apps OnlineIf you log in with your Apple ID at, you can work with the iWork apps right from your browser.
