Apple has deployed an update to its office suite, an update that
impacts its web version, version OS X and iOS.
iWork was launched in January 2005 and subsequently had only one goal
at the time, provide users with a solid alternative to Microsoft
Office. Over the years she has seen a number of new versions, and even
variations on Apple mobile devices. Since WWDC 2013, Pages, Numbers and
Keynote are also available from any web browser evolved through the
portal to iCloud.
But there is still better. To impose a little longer tool on the
market, Apple has decided to offer free of charge to all new customers,
and in all media.
And yesterday, a new version of iWork is available on iOS, OS X and
iCloud.
iWork on iCloud
ICloud, a new interface more in line with iOS 7 comes in, an interface
that is so beautiful from the "flat design". In addition to these
aesthetic improvements, Apple has decided to grace us interesting new
features.
Now we have the opportunity and protect our documents with a password.
In addition, we can see a list of all shared by the members of our team
files. iWork on iCloud is still running a little more towards
collaborative and it has nothing surprising since Google Drive and
Office do the same.
These developments apply to all programs in the suite.
And for the rest? Pages and Keynote, we can integrate floating tables
and format rich text stored in their cells. New keyboard shortcuts are
the part to rotate our objects, resize or position. Pagination is
entering Pages, Numbers, while entitled to the spread of text in
adjacent cells.
I obviously pass on all the fixes to improve stability of the solution.
iWork on OS X and iOS
Unsurprisingly, protecting files with passwords is available on the OS
X version of the suite. Same for the automatic filling of text in cells
on Numbers.
Otherwise, well Pages can count on customized alignment guides and
keyboard shortcuts giving direct access to styles. Keynote seen
arriving two new transitions and also allow us to create graphics
relying on values. Numbers, for its part, gives us hands on sort
options on multiple columns.
And iOS then? Outside improvements mentioned a little earlier, Keynote
is entitled to a new feature: the remote control. Through it, we can
take control of a presentation during playback on a Mac from your
iPhone, iPod Touch or our our iPad.
Still remember the last version of iWork has not been
unanimity among users of the solution. Blame it on the
tragic death of several useful options, and problems related
to ergonomics modules later.
