Apple Updates iWork for OS X, iOS and iCloud



Apple updated its iWork suite Tuesday, adding new features to the desktop, mobile and cloud-based versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

The updates include better compatibility with Microsoft Office documents, new ways to share documents and support for Retina display on iCloud.

One of the biggest changes is the addition of a "view only" setting that enables documents to be shared without giving others permission to edit.

Apple also improved the overall compatibility between iWork and Microsoft Office. Password-protected documents, spreadsheets and presentations can now be exported in file formats compatible with the newest version of Microsoft Office.

On the desktop side, Apple added new transitions for presentations created in Keynote, new design tools in Numbers and new tools for creating charts and editing images within documents in Pages.

The browser-based iWork for iCloud beta apps were updated with support for Retina display and a refreshed design in the document editor.

iWork's mobile apps also received a series performance enhancements. Keynote's iOS app has a new remote feature for controlling presentations from other devices, and documents can now be searched by file name from within the mobile versions of Pages and Numbers.

Apple's latest updates come just a few days after Microsoft launched its free Office for iPad apps.

The company detailed the full list of new iWork features on its website.
