I spent some time last night exploring the new Pages 2.0 (part of the new iWork ’06 suite) and I’m really amazed by one feature—you can do your initial pasteup/layout using Pages (which is quite easily done) and then export the resulting document as a Word file. When you call the document up under Word, you can further edit the text and the tables and charts and columns are still there and functioning in Word. It is so-o-o much easier to do these layout tasks in Pages than in Word.
Keynote 3.0 has at least one nice feature I didn’t see in earlier versions—the ability to export your presentation as a set of web pages (PNG or JPEG) along with navigational controls. Very nice. Here’s a link to an HTML export done from a LOCKSS presentation I prepared with Keynote 2.0 some time back.
