I was up to the apple store again the other day, and the guy explaining things to me on the iMac 24" was telling me that iWorks would be a smart buy rather than MS Office. My primary use of MS products include Word, PowerPoint, and Visio. I'm far more concerned about Word and PowerPoint than I am with Visio because I can always run it in MS/PC mode.
But what the guy said was that iWorks presentation component can be saved as a PowerPoint file, opened on any PC with MS Office, and played just like it was a PP file. He said the same is true of MS Word... you can open any word document with iWorks, create a new document and save it as a MS Word Document, and it can be emailed to anyone with a PC and opened in MS Office/Word. I seldom if ever use Excel, so no concern there.
Can anyone confirm that with iWorks you can create 100% compatible PowerPoint and Word documents that can be opened, possibly edited, and saved in MS Office?
Thanks in advance for the help.
