I'm a student. Upon seeing iWork '09, I downloaded the trial and listed my Office for Mac on eBay. I may have jumped the gun, but I don't think I'll cancel my auction and just learn to use iWork. It seems a bit confusing. Just to figure out how to animate took some time. I have a few questions:
Thanks
- Why does iWork not include a citation maker or equation editor? Office has both...and I need both
I have already started a paper in Word and made some equations in the equation editor...I'm going to transfer that paper to Pages, and I assume the equations will move with it because they're images...but if I need to put in more equations, is there anything available for free to allow me to make an equation and put it in Pages?
- How do I test the animations in Keynote on a slide once I set them? In Powerpoint I can hit a play button on the animations pane and it'll run through the slide.
- I've heard that the majority of people on this forum prefer Keynote and Pages to their Office counterparts, but Excel to Numbers. At this point in time, I only use Excel for pretty basic data tables and graphs...what exactly does Excel offer that Numbers cannot even come close to?
- After using Office on Windows and Mac forever, will I be able to get used to iWork...especially for an important paper due in a few weeks and related important presentation for a month from now?
- Why is the thing that seems to control a lot of things called "Inspector"? What exactly does it inspect?
Thanks
