[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 1055306, member: 3850"] I love iWork and would recommend it if you're primarily working on your own documents. If you need to collaborate on documents a lot with other students, you'll probably need to pick up Office sooner or later though. Stupid things like bullets, numbering and dynamic elements (e.g. table of contents) will often break when being edited between the various versions of Office and iWork. This week a student in my class was going to give a presentation created in Keynote. He had exported it in .ppt format and was opening it with Office 2003. The formatting was all over the place and the poor kid spent 10 minutes fixing colours and adjusting slides. So: iWork great, Office a necessary evil at times and use your own MacBook for your presentations. :) [/QUOTE]
