Did you know that Apple has a wordprocessing, spreadsheet and presentation suite called iWork? Did you know it’s a fraction of the cost of Microsoft Office and can open Office files? Colin Murphy, long time Apple Solutions Consultant from Best Buy Pearl City will show you what these three products can do at our September 26th MacLearn from 10 am -12 pm.
Pages is a wordprocessor and a desktop publisher with templates for newsletters, flyers and cards. Numbers has many auto features that make creating a spreadsheet easy and good looking.
The Magic Move transition feature in Keynote ’09 moves objects seamlessly from one slide to the next. I’ve heard people say “Keynote? It’s like Powerpoint…..but better!” All iWork products have a similar interface making them easy to learn, and they integrate with iPhoto, iTunes and iMovie. Are there things Office can do that iWork cannot? Yes. Will they make a difference to you? Possibly not.
Come to ING Direct Cafe at 1958 Kalakaua Avenue for this free presentation. Come early so you can get parking and pour yourself a cup of coffee or ice tea.
Parking is available but a little tricky so PLEASE check these driving and parking instructions first. Please use the employee lot on Niu St. unless there are lots of spaces behind the Cafe off Pau St. Mahalo.
Btw, if you’re thinking of buying iWork ’09, now’s a good time – it’s $49 at Amazon.com with free shipping. The only place matching that price is the UH Bookstore. It’s also available at Best Buy for $79 with shopping points that convert to discounts. It requires System 10.4 or higher.
