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. |

Colophon ColophonIn the spirit of full disclosure, the author regrets to report that he did not write the text of this book in Pages-not because it isn't up to the task, nor that he wouldn't have loved to, but because publishing industry staffers (and FrameMaker) accept nothing but Microsoft Word.Unable to fulfill a lifelong dream of having a personal secretary he could summon with an authoritative punch of the intercom and a commanding, "Come in here Miss Butler, please-and bring your pad," the author did the next best thing and wrote most of the book using voice-dictation software. Since there's nothing comparable available for the Mac, he used Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a Windows laptop, then rushed the Word files over the network to a Power Mac G4, where they were spell-checked, illustrated, and transmitted to the book's editors. Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X was used to capture illustrations; Adobe Photoshop was called in as required for touching them up.Sarah Sherman was the production editor and proofreader for iWork '05: The Missing Manual. Phil Dangler and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Julie Hawks wrote the index.Marcia Friedman designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by David Freedman, and produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign CS using Adobe's Minion and Gill Sans fonts.David Futato designed the interior layout, based on a series design by Phil Simpson. This book was converted by Keith Fahlgren to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Adobe Minion; the heading font is Adobe Formata Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano, Jessamyn Read, and Lesley Borash using Macromedia FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS.The production editors for Book Title, eMatter Edition were Ellie Cutler and Jeff Liggett. Linda Walsh was the product manager. Kathleen Wilson provided design support. Lenny Muellner, Mike Sierra, Erik Ray, and Benn Salter provided technical support. This eMatter Edition was produced with FrameMaker 5.5.6. |
