An integrated office suite from Apple for Mac OS X. Superseding the AppleWorks integrated package, iWork was designed as an easy-to-use, basic office package that handles the requirements of most users. It includes word processing (Pages), spreadsheet (Numbers) and presentation graphics (Keynote). Although its native formats use proprietary .pages, .numbers and .key file extensions, iWork can import and export popular formats including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. See iLife and AppleWorks.
