History
Pages on Mac OS X is the successor of Apple's multipurpose office suite AppleWorks. The first rumors of a new Apple word processor to replace AppleWorks circulated the Internet through Mac rumor websites in 2003, suggesting a new software package to be released by Apple called "iWorks" or "iWork". Many Mac users were expecting the new program (which rumor sites then claimed would be called "Documents") in 2004. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO finally announced iWork '05 along with iLife '05 at the beginning of 2005.
iWork '08 began shipping in 2007 which includes Pages '08, Keynote '08, and Numbers '08 (Apple's spreadsheet application).
There was a program of the same name made for NeXT computers by Pages Software, Inc., including similar WYSIWYG page layout features as Pages for Mac OS X. Since Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, this has led to suggestions that these programs are based on the same codebase. However, since Pages Software's NeXTSTEP assets seem to have been acquired by a Chicago-based IT solutions company, this speculation appears to be unfounded. It is known that Pages for Mac OS X was developed by the same team that developed Keynote 2, a presentation program included in iWork.
A new version of Pages was included in iWork '09.
Features
Pages includes support for multi-column layouts, paragraph and character styles, footnotes, and Mac OS X built in typographic capabilities. The program can create lists, URL links, page breaks, and will accept data from iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto. Pages contains templates for newsletters, invoices, essays, stationery, invitations, educational materials and other types of documents.
Pages can import later-release AppleWorks word processing documents and Microsoft Word documents (including Word 2007's Office Open XML format ), and can export documents to RTF, PDF and Microsoft Word .doc formats.
Pages and Word
Pages is frequently compared with Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac.Fact: date=September 2008 This is due in part to the fact that Pages is the successor to AppleWorks' featured word-processor, which is also comparable to Microsoft Word.
