Which do you prefer: iWork or Microsoft Office for Mac?

Question

Thanks, your answers are always appreciated!

Personally, I prefer iWork since it isn't linear as Office is and I can export my Keynote/Pages documents to other formats.

Answer 1

Hello Britcop Jim,

I really respect the good work of the Macintosh developers at Redmond, Washington. This is great, especially if you need to work closely with Windows users who are picky with how compatible their documents are. But, if you don't have to do that, then enjoy iWork. Personally I like using TextEdit. It's a great simple, basic, word processor. There's also the NeoOffice and OpenOffice suites.

To each their own. Enjoy, Jim. ;-)

Sounds like you have decided to use iWork and that you like it better. That's great.

I use Office, both on a mac and on a pc. They are different even though both are made by MS and this is sometimes annoying. But all things said, I like Office better. Maybe I'm just more used to it, but at the end of the day I'm glad I have Office.
