I have just bought a macBook and installed iwork so that I can create flyers and brochures easily.
I am slowly getting there but it is like learning a new language and I feel pretty dumb.
I used a mac in the late 1990s at uni and loved Claris Works. Now I would like to know several things....
1. If I didn't have iwork what software would I be using to create basic documents?
2. Claris work had a fairly decent drawing package, is there something similar on the mac book or do I have to go and buy something?
3. I would like to edit a j.peg image. Take of the background colour basically. I have learned how to do this in Pages using Instat Alpha but then can't save the image as anyhting but a pages doc., not good for sharing with a PC pal. What can I use for this?
Hope you can help. Thanks
