Hi, I like Keynote for presentations - once you get your head round the navigation it is fairly quick and easy and works well - it will also convert Poerpoint files with ease so if you get files in different formats it works - you get the slides and speakers notes without having to cycle through different pains - you simply navigate across the screen -more intuative than ppt with Jaws.
For simple word processing text edit works - other people use open office and can suggest other things - I am also using pages (iwork) and now that I have my head round the navigation I am liking it. Hope this helps Julie -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rafaela Freundt Sent: 02 August 2010 07:33 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: office hi everyone I'm new to the mac and voice over, and I'm wondering which programs work better for word processing and viewing slide shows. I do need to use them a lot in school, reading text documents and creating new ones, and also reading the slide show presentations my teachers give me. so I was wondering if I should purchase Apple's iWorks, or use open office, or maybe anyone has another suggestion. thanks so much Rafaela -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
