Question about iWork.com viewers

[maclover001]

What do the blue/purple names mean in the list of people that can view the document? Do colors matter, or is it just decorative?

Thanks

And a couple more:

Do my recipients (viewers) all need to have Apple IDs?
Does iWork.com work on Windows computers?

Does iWork.com work on Windows computers?

Yes. It says that it works on all modern browsers regardless of whether it's a Mac or a PC.

This is from Apple's website:

Because iWork.com is web-based, the projects you publish to it can be viewed by anyone using a current browser. You don’t need to know whether your colleagues use a Mac or a PC.

I also would like to know about whether the colors mean anything. seems strange that apple would do that for no useful reason.

Do my recipients (viewers) all need to have Apple IDs?

No, as long as you add them as a viewer and send them the link it gives you, they dont need to sign in with an apple id.

hope this helps
