Apple's productivity suite has come a long way. Originally sold as a collection called 'iWork', the three apps - a word processor called Pages, the Numbers spreadsheet application and Keynote for presentations are now available separately, and they're all free.
The iWork apps are available for Mac, iPad and iPhone. They're built with user-friendliness in mind, but not at the cost of features. Pages, Numbers and Keynote are likely to offer everything you need, and everything is right there at your fingertips. You can learn the basics of each app in about half an hour, and expert features are within easy reach too. As well as using the iWork apps on your Mac, iPad and iPhone, you can also log on to the iCloud website (iCloud.com) with your Apple account and access web-based versions of the apps, even picking up where you left off with a document you saved earlier.
In this guide, we show you how to get to grips with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Assuming no prior knowledge, we teach you how to create your first document. Taking things further, we also bring you a selection of pro tips to help you get even more from your Apple productivity apps. So what are you waiting for? Let's see what the suite can do.
Pages: Apple's word processor
Make awesome documents, flyers and more
Pages offers a comprehensive set of features. You can use it to create stunning documents containing charts, pictures, shapes, tables and even videos as well as text. You can flow text around objects for that professional look, and there’s a huge range of templates to choose from.
