If you're thinking about buying iWork '08, make sure you watch this video. It might help you reconsider. This video reviews the Pages application from iWork '08. Its basically me venting about how disappointed I am with Pages and Apple.

Sorry about all the questions it just seems that you're one of the few compitent people on youtube that respond:) in ms word you can go view and chose 'print layout', can you do the same thing in pages? or are you stuck using the normal layout?

Pages seems like it would be a great program to use if you made documents from scratch and didnt need to transfer them to word after. But since the majority of the world uses Office, its hard to avoid the problems of iWork. Even the small problems in iWork just become frustrating if you are a frequent user of Office.

yeah im hangin out for the office 08. as for the spell check i dont think its as good as MS. Its just not as intuitive as MS. Im not sure about how good it is for other languages. All i know is that i have to keep adding words to the dictionary that use the american 'z' instead of australian 's', you know like 'globalisation' or something.

I'm not a big word processing junkie but it's assumed that pages has a decent spell check right? you can call that a dumb question i just don't like rocks to be left unturned before i buy something. Also, does it support a spell check for different languages? i'm canadian so a french spell check would be awesome.

Yeah, doc files open fine. I think the main problem is that Pages doesnt recognise all 'frames' in the document so it stuffs up the format of that file in Pages (and the file i tried at the time of this video had a lot of borders and frames etc). I was just really pissed off when i did this video so i forgot to mention that.

as I was watching this, I tried opening a .doc document in my newly acquired pages app., and it opened it fine. dunno what you're doing wrong.

Im surprised youve had that problem with pages. cant see what the problem is, just so long as the word document ends in .doc it should open perfectly in pages, looking indentical to how it looks in word. You should talk to apple care or something, its probably something really small thats causing you problems. Pages is really great for the importing of word documents.
