Product Description
IWORK 09 FAMILY PACK-INT

Amazon.com Product Description
iWork '09, Apple's office productivity suite, is the easiest way to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations the Mac way. Writing and page layout are easy in Pages. Numbers gives you simple ways to make sense of your data. You'll captivate your audience with new, sophisticated features in Keynote. And iWork is compatible with Microsoft Office, so it's easy to share your work. Install the iWork '09 Family Pack on up to five Mac computers in your household.

iWork '09 Family Pack
The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including students who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.

Creating the perfect brochure, flyer, report, or resume is faster and easier than ever. Click to enlarge.

Pages '09. You have a beautiful way with words.
Pages is both a streamlined word processor and an easy-to-use page layout tool. It allows you to be a writer one minute and a designer the next, always with a perfect document in the works.

Easy from the start

Your instant design studio.
Even before you start writing, your document looks great. With over 180 Apple-designed templates, a professionally polished resume, brochure, school report, or invitation is waiting for you to make it your own. Use the Template Chooser to find the one you like. Add your own words inside the text placeholders. Use the Media Browser to drop photos from your iPhoto library directly into graphics placeholders. And there you have it: a beautifully designed, professional-quality document made in minutes.

Tables and charts make data instantly more compelling. You can copy and paste charts from Numbers into your document. The data is linked, so when you change the data in your spreadsheet, you can update your chart in Pages with just a click.

Streamlined word processing

Every word counts.
Creating great-looking documents is simple with Pages. At the top of the page, the contextual Format Bar lets you do the basics--formatting text and adjusting images--with just one click. View and choose fonts with the "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) font menu. Change text size and color. Adjust line spacing and paragraph alignment. Apply character and paragraph styles. When you select a photo, shape, or table on the page, the Format Bar displays tools to adjust the images. And while you write, Pages can automatically format lists with bullets or numbers, check your spelling, proofread your document, and generate a table of contents.

Fine-tuning your document is easy, too. You can add headers, footers, footnotes, and bookmarks with a few clicks. Insert section, layout, and page breaks from a pull-down menu. And the word count is visible at the bottom of the page--just click the total to see details including the number of characters, lines, paragraphs, and more. When it comes to word processing, streamlined and smart come standard in Pages.

Advanced writing tools

There's more to the story.
Any word processor can help you type. Pages gives you all the tools you need to write and perfect your writing. Now you can view your document full screen. With one click, clutter disappears so you focus on what you're writing and make changes without distractions. Organize your ideas in Outline mode. Create an outline with multiple levels, expand or collapse topics, and drag and drop to promote or demote items. Mail merge takes your data from Numbers or your contacts from Address Book to create personalized letters, invoices, and faxes. And in Pages, you can insert sophisticated equations into your lab reports with MathType 6 and add professional bibliographies to your research papers using EndNote X2.

When it's time for comments and feedback, change tracking makes collaboration with anyone easier, clearer, and more concise. And it's always easy to find your place. Next to your document, you see thumbnails of all your pages and sections, including changes that have been made. Quickly copy or delete a section. Or drag and drop to move sections around. Scroll through thumbnails to preview your document or enlarge them for a better view.

Powerful page layout

Do-it-yourself design.
Create your own design from a blank canvas--Pages makes page layout easy. Choose fonts and add images, graphics, tables, and 3D charts. Powerful graphics tools let you resize and rotate photos, apply reflections and shadows, add picture frames, and remove backgrounds from images with a simple point and click. You can even control the text: how it looks, how it flows, and how it wraps around images. Move everything around on the free-form canvas until you see the layout you envisioned.

Compatibility and sharing

It's an easy read. In any format.
Pages makes it easy to share your documents with colleagues or friends. You can open Microsoft Word files in Pages and save your Pages documents as Word files. With powerful graphics and formatting tools, it's easy to make Word documents look great in Pages. You can also save your Pages documents as RTF files or plain text or export them as PDF files. With the new email option, send Pages, Word, or PDF documents right from Pages using Mac OS X Mail. Share your work on the Web.

What if you need to share your document, but you aren't sure whether your colleagues use a Mac or PC, iWork or Office? Now you can upload it to iWork.com Public Beta.2 Reviewers receive a unique iWork.com URL where they can view your work, post comments, and download your document in Pages, Microsoft Word, or PDF format.

With great-looking templates, easy-to-create formulas, and dynamic tables and charts, spreadsheets suddenly make perfect sense. Click to enlarge.

Numbers '09. Finally, data has its day.
With great-looking templates, easy-to-create formulas, and dynamic tables and charts, spreadsheets suddenly make perfect sense.

Easy from the start

Numbers, uncrunched.
Plan a wedding. Save for retirement. Track your workouts. Keep a baby journal. Spreadsheets can help you organize and plan, and great-looking, Apple-designed templates will help you get started. With the Template Chooser, you can preview over 30 templates to use for home, work, and school. Tables are already made. Formulas have been figured out. Fonts are in place. They're all ready to go. Just find something you like and make it your own.

Start planning, tracking, and analyzing from 30 Apple-designed templates, and you're already halfway there. Click to enlarge.

With over 250 functions and built-in help, writing formulas, formatting data, and making sense of it all is easy. Click to enlarge.

Transform your data into compelling 2D or 3D bar, line, area, or pie charts. Click to enlarge.

Open and save as Microsoft Excel files. Email your spreadsheets right from Numbers. And share with everyone on the web.

In Numbers '09, spreadsheets are built on a flexible, free-form canvas. So you can move tables, charts, graphics, and text anywhere you want on the page. As tables resize, objects automatically adjust to fit around them. Create as many tables as you want. Change fonts, sizes, colors, styles, and borders. With graphics tools, alignment guides, and rulers, spreadsheet-making becomes a surprisingly creative endeavor. And suddenly, spreadsheets make more sense.

The Media Browser adds some excitement to your spreadsheet. With a click, you can access your photos from iPhoto, your movies, and your video. The Sheet Navigator lists every table, chart, and sheet in your spreadsheet so you can quickly jump to any part of your project and make changes.

Formulas for everyone

It all adds up beautifully.
Creating formulas may seem complex, but Numbers makes it uncomplicated. Using the intuitive browser, you can choose from over 250 functions (including more than 90 new ones). Tooltips and built-in help provide clear and concise explanations of each variable. You can even use visual placeholders for variables when you create formulas. The new Formula List view shows you every calculation on your spreadsheet at once. And with a few clicks on the Toolbar, you can create tables and charts and add images and graphics. Easily find fonts and format text styles in the Format Bar.

Intelligent tables

Brilliance in every cell.
Numbers is a blank canvas for tables. You can create as many as you want and resize them as needed. The layout of each table is independent, so whatever you do to one table won't affect the others. Move tables anywhere--even to a different sheet--and the calculations remain intact. You can even share content between tables. WIth intuitive tools, Numbers helps you analyze data. Enter data and change values within the cells and use sliders, checkboxes, steppers, and pop-up lists to explore the results. With every change, formulas and charts instantly update and give you a new data scenario.

When there's almost too much data to decipher, Numbers lets you create categories based on information from any column. It automatically generates a summary row for each category. By using just the summary row, you can collapse, expand, and rearrange categories to organize your data any way you want. The new Reorganize button in the toolbar lets you filter by category and gives you other advanced sorting and filtering options.

Impressive charts

Off-the-charts charts.
Transform your data into compelling 2D or 3D bar, line, area, or pie charts. Combine line, column, and area series in a single mixed chart. Create two-axis charts with different value scales. Apply trendlines and error bars. The charts you create in Numbers can be linked to your Pages documents and Keynote presentations.

Compatibility and sharing

It's the universal language.
Numbers makes it easy to share your spreadsheets with colleagues or friends. You can open Microsoft Excel files in Numbers or save your Numbers spreadsheets as Excel files. With powerful graphics and formatting tools, it's easy to make Excel spreadsheets look great in Numbers. You can also export your Numbers spreadsheets as PDF files. Numbers lets you import documents in other common formats as well, including Open Financial Exchange files from Quicken, files from bank or credit card providers, comma-separated-value or tab-delimited files, vCards, and more. Printing spreadsheets in Numbers is surprisingly easy, too. Use the interactive Print view to see how big your spreadsheet will print. Then scale it up or down with a simple slider. With the new email option, send Numbers, Excel, or PDF files right from Numbers using Mac OS X Mail.

Share your work on the web.
If your colleagues need to see your work, but you don't know what format to use, upload your spreadsheet to iWork.com Public Beta1. Reviewers receive a unique iwork.com URL where they can view your spreadsheet, post comments, and download it in Numbers, Excel, or PDF format.

Create your presentation in Keynote, and youÕll be a hard act to follow. Click to enlarge.

Keynote '09. Crowd pleaser.
Create your presentation in Keynote, and you'll be a hard act to follow. Powerful yet easy-to-use tools and dazzling effects put the show in slideshow.

Easy from the start

It presents beautifully.
Even if you've never used Keynote before, you'll find creating a presentation surprisingly simple. It all starts with an enhanced Theme Chooser that lets you preview an impressive collection of 44 Apple-designed themes. Drag across a theme to skim through its slide designs. Once you've chosen the perfect canvas for your presentation, simply substitute placeholder text and graphics with your own words and images. Thanks to the Slide Navigator, the progress of your presentation and its organization are always in view.

Easy-to-use tools let you add elements such as tables, charts, media, and shapes to your slides. Add a table with a click. Just as easily add a 3D chart that you can animate. With the Media Browser, you can drag and drop photos from your iPhoto or Aperture libraries, movies from your Movies folder, and music from your iTunes library.

Powerful graphics tools

Looking good comes easy.
Make each slide in your presentation look its absolute best, using the powerful graphics tools built into Keynote. Quickly and cleanly remove the background of an image using the Instant Alpha tool. Or mask it within a predrawn shape, such as a circle or a star. With alignment and spacing guides, you can easily find the center of the slide and see if objects are spaced evenly. So anything you add to your slides--graphics, images, text boxes, or shapes--is placed precisely where you want it. If you're adding a flowchart or a diagram to your slide, then you'll appreciate the new connection lines feature. Connection lines between two objects remain anchored, no matter what changes you make. Move the objects around, and the lines move with them.

Create your presentation using one of 44 beautifully designed themes, including HD themes with 1920-by-1080 resolution. Click to enlarge.

Make each slide in your presentation look its absolute best, using the powerful graphics tools built into Keynote.

Animations and effects

Standing ovation highly likely.
With your choice of more than 25 transitions, including 3D transitions, you're sure to keep their eyes riveted to the screen as you move from one slide to the next. Apply the new Magic Move transition and a repeated object, such as your company's logo, automatically changes location, scale, opacity, and rotation across consecutive slides. Add stunning effects.

Flexible ways to present

Your show. Your way.
Keep the pace of your presentation flowing smoothly with the Presenter Display feature. While your presentation appears on the main display for your audience, you can see the current and next slides, your slide notes, a clock, and a timer on a second display. Add Keynote Remote to your iPhone or iPod touch and feel free to roam around the room while you present. Using Wi-Fi, Keynote Remote turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless controller. In landscape view, see the current and next slides. In portrait, see the current slide with your slide notes. Tap to play and swipe to advance, wherever you are in the room. Buy Keynote Remote from iTunes now

When you can't be there, the show can still go on. Using the built-in narration tool, Keynote captures your audio voiceover and timing as you step through builds or move from one slide to the next.

Compatibility and sharing

Approved for all audiences.
Keynote gives you a variety of ways to bring your show to the people. You can use it to import presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint and to create presentations that can easily be saved as PowerPoint files. You can also export your presentation as a QuickTime movie, or a PDF, HTML, or image file; or even directly to YouTube. Keynote does the format conversion for you. Share your work on the web.

When you need to share your presentation, but aren't sure whether your colleagues use a Mac or PC, iWork or Microsoft Office, publish it to iWork.com Public Beta.2 Reviewers receive an email with a unique URL where they can view your presentation's slides, post comments, and download a version ideal for them in Keynote, PowerPoint, or PDF format.

3 out of 5 stars I don't know why only 5 licenses in family pack?   August 24, 2010

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought a i-Work family pack for my 2 kids. Quick delivery was good. But I needed only 2 licenses instead of 5. I have extra 3 licenses still not in use. I think it's waste of money. Why don't they have more options?


2 out of 5 stars No Key - No iWork   July 11, 2010
TheStinkyDad (Fairfax Station, VA)
iWork loaded onto the computer but would not function. I kept getting a dialog box saying I needed a key. None came with the purchase. No wonder the item was $30.00 cheaper on Amazon - it doesn't work. Returned it very easy enough and spent the money to buy a working software package directly from Apple.


5 out of 5 stars Terrific Value!   June 15, 2010
Jerry Mack (N. CA USA)
The family pack of 5 licenses of iWork for just a little more than one copy is the way all software should be sold. I am very happy with the family of applications that came in iWork. Looking to update iLife he same way.


4 out of 5 stars Great for Mac/iPad environment with some quirks   May 3, 2010
Samer A (Texas,USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I'd be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn't used the Microsoft Office suite, so I can't help but compare iWork to it...and by doing so, I can't help but feel like Office does a lot of things better. That's not to say that iWork is bad, or you can't be productive with it, but I just still feel like I'd prefer to use Office for most of my big document creation projects. Here's everything broken down:

SHORT VERSION OF REVIEW
Get it if you prefer to stay in the Apple environment--it will do pretty much everything you'd ever need out of a document creation app like this. But if you're heavy on document creation and used to Office, I think you'll feel like iWork is quirky at times, and can be annoying/counter-productive.

LONGER VERSION

Each of these bundled apps (pages, keynote and numbers) are really very good. Like I said, you can easily feel productive with them. I do most of my document creation using them and it works pretty well. These apps also benefit from being tightly knit into the Apple ecosystem, so you get an experience that feels in-line with everything else on your Mac. Personally, that's a big plus for me--I love feeling like my OS is all one single experience, without having to think much about why one application does one thing, and another doesn't.


OFFICE/IWORK FILE FORMATS
They play pretty nicely with one another. I'm 90% sure Office won't open native iWork file types, but you can easily save all your iWork documents as the older 97-2003 file formats (no x at the end) and open them up in the respective Office app. The conversions are usually spot-on. Typically I find that fonts don't work (not a big surprise) and sometimes it may complain about a special type of formatting, but other than that, it plays real nicely between the two programs. It also always tells you when a document is opened that things were changed/missing, and lets you review those changes--so you at least get a heads up on anything that may be quirky.

Finally, one other thing that is somewhat annoying about the iWork application is that if you open up a word document, for example, and then edit it, and try to save it--it more or less forces you to save it as a .pages. Sure, you can click "save as Word copy" and save it and that'll work. But if you then try to exit the application, it'll prompt you again to save it, because it wants you to save it as a .pages document. That's annoying--I usually end up having to maintain two copies of everything. One as a word document, and one as a .pages document.

ONLINE DOCUMENT SAVING
So right now there is an online documents beta that is integrated into iWork. I personally love this feature, and it's so much easier to use than any current implementation of Office online. You just click 1 button, and check a few settings, and it uploads it to their site--you can even have it send out an email to people you want to share the document with. They can add comments, make changes, download it in 1 of 3 formats that you specify (.pdf, .pages, .doc for Pages application), etc. It's still beta, so there are a lot of missing features I'd love to see implemented, but it works real great for easy document sharing.

IPAD
I also own an iPad, and so being able to work with native format documents between the iPad version of iWork and the full blown desktop version is nice. I can easily move documents, edit them, etc, using iTunes. The iPad version also lets you upload to online to Apple's iWork site, which is real nice.

TIMES WHEN I LIKE OFFICE BETTER
This is the one time so far when I had to simply switch into Windows and use Office--for document editing/change tracking, etc, in Word. I really prefer the way Office handles document changes and change tracking. Pages does it by adding a huge stream of comments on the left side that indicate what all was changed, instead of doing in-line markup like Word does. That may be fine for a few changes here and there, but if you heavily edit a document and open it up in Pages, your screen will feel crammed with comments, and it's hard to trace them to the changes being made. It feels messy, and not very productive.

Other times when I prefer Office (but don't feel the real need to switch to it) is when I'm doing outlines in Pages. Word does a fantastic job of working with outlines, and properly predicts/changes the outline according to changes you make. Pages does an okay job--creation it works, but once you begin editing or making changes to the outline, you will typically end up doing a lot of manual work to update tabbing, indents, etc.


SUMMATION
If you're looking to stay inside the Apple ecosystem, I would recommend this purchase. The family pack pricing is also pretty great. I have it installed on two macs, which was a breeze. Also, of note, is that if you are still on the fence about this application, they have a downloadable trial that you get for 30 days. I'd highly recommend doing that before committing to any purchasing. (available on Apple's site)



5 out of 5 stars iWork Family Pack   May 3, 2010
Rueby (California)
Perfect for those who have multiple macs or splitting the cost with a few friends. Compared to the single user license when purchased from Apple, this is a great alternative for only a few dollars more. Easy install, worry free. A little slow on the free shipping. No complaints otherwise.
