To get started with iWork you will need to either sign in to iCloud from your Mac or other Apple device or follow setup instructions for your Windows PC. In fact, as Apple points out in its introduction of the service, you can even do a presentation on another computer by simply accessing your iCloud account. The most important thing about iWork for iCloud may be that it adds yet another tool for businesses of all sizes and professionals in many fields to work on documents from any computer or device.

Apple is expected to formally launch the service in the fall. PC Magazine suggests the new suite doesn’t offer much not available already from the other two services.Īlthough Apple has apparently already had to limit the beta due to overwhelming public response.

Reviews are mixed about how iWork stands up to these competitors. (iWork is compatible with Microsoft Office, by the way, meaning you can drag your Word, Excel and Powerpoint files into iWork’s file manager and edit them there.) The new iWork suite is comparable to Google Drive or free Word, Excel and Powerpoint features available free through Microsoft’s SkyDrive. The office suite package lets you create letters and other documents, create professional looking graphics and presentations, and edit document pages easily, according to reviews. Apple recently opened a beta of its iWork for iCloud free to all users with an Apple ID account letting you do just that. This allows you to access your documents from where ever you are without needing to lug a laptop or other device with you. Small business owners and employees know the value of working across multiple devices.
