| > That’s such a basic and central feature, something an office application absolutely has to get right. You are correct. And I'm talking about that very thing. OpenOffice style sheets are limited, last time I checked (same with Libre). For example, it doesn't support style sheets for Table styles. I remember having to deal with this specific problem. The mechanism they have in place is a mockery. In my eyes, if it can be styled, it should be styled using style sheets. That is essential, in my books (and I don't think it's too much to ask). I also don't remember iWork having it, either. There are other issues, but that one stands out in my mind. > but I’m simply in love with the straightforward simpleness of iWork. I keep hoping they'll update iWork, but again, the features it's missing are important to me. This is mostly in reference to Pages vs Word. I mean, even when you look at the full screen features of Word vs Pages, Word just destroys Pages in terms of attention to detail. This is more about the UI though, so its purely my personal opinion. Anyways, my point was simply that there are some essential features (such as complete styling support) that hinder usage. I'm not asking for new features, rather that they support the features they currently have in a common, well-established way. Note: Things may have changed since I last used these products. If they have, yay! |
