Apple says iWork is compatible with Microsoft Office. But what does that really mean and is it true?
It"s true that you can move documents between iWork and Office. But when you do, they may look or function differently than they did in their parent programs. In Macworlds recent feature comparing Word and Pages, Excel and Numbers, and PowerPoint and Keynote , we discussed the differences in features between those programs. But (as several readers pointed out in comments to those stories), we didn"t cover the file-compatibility or interoperability issues that arise when you"re trying to move documents from one suite to another. That"s what I"d like to do here.
