Maybe you are right and this is rather a problem with printer or printer driver (hp laserjest 1320, 600 dpi). I will try to make a PDF and check if I can spot the difference. If not - I will give my apologies to iWork ;]
Thanks guys.
I love the ability to be able to buy Pages, Keynote and Numbers separately. It means that I only have to buy each one when I need it. I have bought Pages and Keynote so far, but I have no use for Numbers. You can also save Pages files as Word documents so that eliminates all compatibility problems
I use iWork in the office and send as PDF. People don't need to edit my documents.
I don't think it's a case of which is better, as the two packages have a slightly different focus. I actually use both, and my choice on which I use depends on what the final document is for. I put together an overview comparing the applications in Office for Mac with iWork can be found here.
Im more of an office 2011 user mainly because I haven't had the time to learn where everyone is in iWork although I do want to learn it at some point. Having said that both do what they need to do I would go for whichever you know how to get the best out of and works the best for you. Also 2011 has been good on cross platform compatibility and I haven't run into any major issues (yet) hope this helps
For me compatibility is a big deal. I know there was some issues in the past with older versions of iWork, but I was wondering if people still encountered them. Also does iWork have a version of OneNote? I love that program for note taking. It's a shame it's only available in the PC version.
A lot of people use Evernote. I know it isn't the same but there are some other software packages out there that mimic the functionality of Onenote.
Also there is no possibility of fullscreen MS Office which is a little drawback on the tiny 11" MBA.
Maybe I'm reading your post wrong but there is fullscreen mode for Office.
Cost wise iWork is the clear winner for the majority, MS Office 11 comes at a price, look for educational discounts or better still corporate rates, I paid the handsome price of $10 for the full Office 11 for Mac via a company discount scheme
