Editorial Review:

Introduced by Apple in January 2005, iWork '05 is an innovative new suite of document and presentation software that's the same caliber as Apple's groundbreaking digital media applications and that's wholly dedicated to what Mac users like you care about most: artistry and creativity. iWork '05 isn't about "office productivity"--it's about creating slick and stylish documents and cinema-quality digital presentations that say precisely what you want them to say.

While iWork '05 helps you create stunning documents and presentations, the suite doesn't come with any in-depth documentation of its own. That's where iWork '05: The Missing Manual comes in. The book that should have been in the box, it gives you everything you need to master iWork '05.

Seamlessly integrated with the wildly popular iLife '05 and designed to take advantage of the advanced typography and graphics engine of Mac OS X, iWork is actually two separate programs: Pages and Keynote 2. Pages is a brand-new, streamlined word processor and page layout program that allows nonprofessionals to quickly and painlessly produce gorgeous brochures, newsletters, letters, invitations, product data sheets, and more. You can start documents from scratch or use one of the 40 professionally designed templates as a starting point. Keynote 2 is a significant upgrade to Keynote, Apple's PowerPoint-like presentation software that allows you to build unique presentations, demonstrations, storyboard animations, interactive slideshows, and more.

Like every Missing Manual, this one is refreshingly entertaining and scrupulously detailed. iWork '05: The Missing Manual gives you all the essentials of Pages and Keynote 2, including an objective look at each program's capabilities, its advantages over similar programs, and its limitations. The book delivers countless goodies that you won't find anywhere else: undocumented tips, tricks, and secrets for getting the very best results from both exciting new applications.

With the iWork '05 suite and iWork '05: The Missing Manual, you are totally equipped to give your work the style it deserves.

Editorial Review:

Macs are fun--they even smile--but, before long, you'll find yourself merrily mousing away on your Mac when the dark strains of required productivity become audible. What to do? AppleWorks most likely includes the bit of software you need to get your work done, and AppleWorks 6 for Dummies can show you how to use that suite of applications in no time at all. Before you know it, you'll be back to listening to MP3s while you surf the Internet.

In this book, a couple of Mac experts (including Mac demigod Bob LeVitus) explain how to use the productivity applications that make up AppleWorks, getting straight to the point without sounding dry or dull. Whether you're interested in using the index to locate the authors' coverage of how to group objects in AppleWorks' paint program, or in following along as they reveal the intricacies of spreadsheet design, you'll be pleased by what you find here. The authors have written lots of easy-to-follow procedures, which include information on what you should do and what you should see as a result, and sprinkled their chapters with solid tips. These tips explain how to create image collections, for example, and how to avoid common pitfalls in database design. --David Wall

Topics covered: How to use the applications in AppleWorks 6, including the word processor, spreadsheet, database, graphics tools, and Internet applications. Adequate attention goes to the programs' extensive integration, as well as to utility operations, such as printing and file management.

Editorial Review:

Too many writers of books about software let the software determine how they organize the material. If the File menu contains commands A, B, and C, the writers put A, B, and C in the same chapter, regardless of whether they're functionally similar. AppleWorks 6: The Missing Manual is organized more logically, tackling the functional units--including Internet integration, macro programming, and table creation, among others--in separate chapters. It's an approach that makes sense for AppleWorks, in which the spreadsheet module can be used to create tables for word processor documents and all the modules rely on a common graphics editor. For those who want to know what a particular menu command does, there's menu-by-menu documentation in an appendix.

You get the requisite instructions: explicit steps to follow if you want to transpose rows in a spreadsheet, for example, or export button graphics for use in Web pages. Other procedures, like making calculations that refer to cells in multiple spreadsheets, are explained in text. "Workaround Workshop" modules call attention to shortcomings in AppleWorks (such as its two-palette limit when you're working with colors) and explain how to get around them (use a custom palette). Throughout, the instructions are engaging and fun to read. --David Wall

Topics covered: AppleWorks 6, the multipurpose office-productivity suite for Mac OS; the suite's capabilities, comprehensively--including word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, databases, and presentations; how to create documents and databases from scratch, as well as from existing materials.

Appleworks Bible Scores Home Run 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 20 people found this review helpful.

In the tradition of all IDG Bible series books, the AppleWorks Bible by Steve Schwartz and Dennis Cohen is a home run! ... Starting out gently, and then progressing to the more difficult concepts of Appleworks 6, this book can benefit just about anyone using the program. For beginners, the quick tour of AppleWorks is clear and concise -- getting new users up to speed quickly. For the veteran user who may have come up through the ranks of ClarisWorks, there's lots of detailed help on new features like clippings, frames, styles and even macros. Reviewers at both Graphic-Design.com and User-Groups.net particularly liked the help on the new presentation tools, function integration, mail merge and the intracies of aWorks' database. If there's an AppleWorks user in your crowd, the AppleWorks Bible will make a superb gift. The AppleWorks Bible from IDG Books has been selected as the Editor's Choice Book for December, 2000 in The User Group Network, and Design-Bookshelf.
