Another way to highlighting text is to Text Color Coding. You know that shadow highlighting is the viable solution as till the dedicated solution for the iWork. In the alternative which I am going to suggest is the changing the color of the text itself rather than shadowing the text. I think it is very simple to perform. You have to simply click on the color icon which is located on the top of the iWork main screen. You have to choose the desired text for which you are looking for the changing of the font color and simply select the Text Color from the iWork Color Palettes.

If you have decided to use highlighting then simply mark the areas where you are planning for the future editing. For that particular purpose you have to use Comment tools. Well Comment tool will allow you to highlight the relevant text and put the notes in the margins for the future reference. You can use the following instruction in order to insert the comments.

• You have to select the desired text and click on the Comment button. Another way is to inserting comment is to select the comment from the Drop Down menu.
• A comment text box will pop up on the screen near the margin and simply click on the it and enter the desired comment.

Well iWork is a great software application which I have ever seen. This particular software helped me to create better looking documents then that of Microsoft Word. Numbers in the iWork had made me to work with the Spreadsheet. But according to me the people who had already used Excel will found this particular software quite confusing. If they have not used Excel then I think there will be no issue while they are using Numbers.

I have used both Word 2008 and NeoOffice on the computer of mine. Well I have found large number of formatting error when I am going to use NeoOffice in order to open the Word documents in this particular software. Still I love Pages why because it is the closest thing to the Pagemaker of the Mac. It’s all time favorite software for me. In case you are looking for the Page layout then Pages are the best but when you are going to make long books or manuals then you should go for Word 2008.
