Summary: Great replacement for Microsoft Word, for most purposes
I was stunned when I started using Pages v2... because I'd been convinced that Apple would never get a word processor right. AppleWorks pretty much sucked (tedious interface, limited capabilities, never fully updated for Mac OS X). TextEdit is nothing more than a rough draft of an application.

Pages, by contrast, does everything I need for letters, how-to documents, meeting notes... that is, everything that I want a word processor for (as opposed to a text editor, like BBEdiit).

The feature set in Pages is limited compared to Word. For example, there are collaboration tools, but not as refined as Word's. But for my needs -- personal document creation -- the feature set is perfectly adequate. In fact, I love it: flexible nested bulleted lists; great header and footer support; great style support; beautiful layout; export to PDF, Word, and HTML; multiple columns; comments; custom templates... and lots more.

But what makes me love Pages, even more than the features, is the very clean, very discoverable interface. In fact, I wish the Mac OS X Finder were as well conceived as Pages. And the Pages interface leaves Word's interface in the binary dust.

(Not that I had trouble with Word. I've used it for many years and had figured out how to do whatever I needed to. But Word, as much as it was refined version-to-version and improved for Macintosh users, always felt a little hostile to me.)

Pages, on the other hand... Between the easily customizable Tool Bar and the elegant Inspector window and the sane menu structure, I really enjoy coming up with reasons to create a Pages document. Even the online help for Pages is exemplary. I've always been able to find an answer to my questions.

Well done, Apple.

Summary: I don't recommend Pages to anyone who needs to make flyers or brochures
I am new to Macs and, while I have mostly been pleased with everything so far, I find myself extremely frustrated with Pages. When I bought my iBook, my salesman recommended iWork after I told him that I have a small business and often have to make flyers and brochures for marketing. I used Microsoft Publisher for years, and find Pages inefficient and frustrating in comparison. I have not found an easy way to create flyers from a blank template, and feel that it is relatively labor intensive to create a text box or insert and format a picture. How I wish they made Publisher for Mac!

Summary: Wonderful. Formatting pain, and dull presentation are a thing of the past.
Just a pleasure to use, and easy to get the effects you want.

Summary: Keynote Superior to PowerPoint from designers
I am a graphic designer and use Keynote to develop multimedia presentations.

Here is how I use it:

* I create a Keynote presentation(s) with text and photos and transitions. When using a lot of text, still photos, graphics etc., you can create amazing presentations far superior to PowerPoint with look of templates, ease of use, ability to control transitions. It's superior if you want a superior finished product. These presentations can be used alone or you can go beyond a "slideshow" into the realm of iMovie/iDVD.
* Export as full-quality QuickTime movie
* Import QT movie into iMovie
* Combine video with Keynote presentation(s) and add audio (you can add audio in both Keynote and QuickTime, but you have a lot more control in iMovie).
* Next I import the iMovie into iDVD, create a menu page and have a sensational, inexpensive multimedia presentation

As for Pages. As a 21 year Mac user, if all I had was Publisher (which is not available for the Mac anyway) or Pages to create good looking newsletters and flyers, then I would choose Pages any day. I would never use Word. Word is not a page layout program---that's why they have Publisher. However, as a graphic designer I use inDesign which costs about 8 times as much as Pages and Keynote combined. I hate to say it but Amazon's price for iWork6 of $73 is basically the upgrade price. Apple made it cheap to start with and you will more than get your money's worth. I'm not sure if you need to upgrade if you don't already love the program.

Another tip: Buy Robin William's book, The Non-Designer's Design Book, follow her suggestions and start making everything you do look better.

Summary: Alright, but should have been better
Easy to use word processor with a nice, minimalist interface. But it does have some minor problems.

Bad exporting feature aside, iWork's Pages doesn't identify or help correct grammar mistakes in documents. Has an okay "spell check" feature, though. These features are important to me because I write lots of papers. For these reasons, I took off one big star.
