What is best word processing for the iMac?

What is best word processing to use on my imac?

Depends. What word processing are you doing?
Word is probably the most capable, but do you need all that capability? Pages is very good, but not as powerful, as are Nisus Writer and Mellel. But it comes down to the kind of power you need: You writing blog posts? Novels? Doctoral Theses? Letters to your Mummy? Each of these can be done in Word, but if you're only writing notes home then Word is overkill. If you need academic standards - citations, footnotes etc - then Word, Pages, Nisus etc. If you're writing a Novel or long project something like Scrivener or Ulysses 3 are likely better.
So... the best is the one appropriate for the writing you're doing - which is that?

What is the best word processing program for Mac?

That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
Academic?
Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

I would recommend using Pages for what you are doing. It is the best one to use on the iPad itself, and has the ability to convert to an MS Word format. I know that it can do this through email, but I am also fairly certain you can import it in this format through iTunes, though you may need to convert it on the iPad itself.
With iOS 5 and iCloud, I recommend kicking Word to the curb altogether and going with Pages on both machines. Not only will everything be more seamless, but iCloud will update the changes you make, on either device, automatically. And Pages is only 20 bucks through the App store for the Mac (OS 10.6.7 or later needed).

Word processing for MacBook Pro

I want to buy word processing for my MacBook Pro. (Please keep in mind I don't know much about computers and buying things that have to be installed scares me that I'm going to ruin the computer!) The computer is one year old and did not come with word processing.
Here are my concerns:
1. I think I need to go to the Mac Store and buy Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all separately, right. I can't just buy iWork and get it all together cheaper?
2. It is called Pages '09. So this is 2013. I imagine any day now they are going to come out with Pages Some-other-year and I'll have an outdated word processor in a month. Is there an update planned? How does one handle this? Would I have to update for another fee? Would my Pages '09 no longer work?
3. So, after I fork over my money, what is going to happen? How complicated is this? Will I need a password? Can I just press a button and it will install automatically? Or are there multiple steps after purchasing? (Years ago I bought something for my desktop, they told us we didn't have enough memory, we tried to install more memory and ruined the computer. This is why I am so hesitant. Please be patient with my fears.)
Thank you,
Karen

Apple has made buying, installing & updating their software about as easy as possible. Certainly someone in an Apple Store can help you and that may be the most comfortable route for you - but you would need to bring your Mac into the store. On the other hand, if you purchased AppleCare, you could call them and they will help you on the phone and you won't have to take your Mac into a store.
Regardless of whether you do it on your own or go to an Apple Store, you will purchase Pages, Numbers & Keynote through the Mac App Store (online). You will need an Apple ID - you may have created one when you started up your Mac the first time after you bought it. If you created one then, that would be the best Apple ID to use instead of creating another one.
If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create it online when you open the Mac App Store (it's an application on your Mac). Once you sign in to the store, a few clicks and $60 later you will be able to download & install all three applications. The Mac App Store app will do this for you. Later on, when there are updates, the Mac App Store app will indicate there are updates. A few more clicks and your updates will automatically download & install.

What is the best word processor for mac? Closest to office?

What is the best word processor for mac? Closest to office?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
On OS X, you have some good word processors:
- Microsoft Word for Mac. Included in Office for Mac, it's the best option if you are going to use Word documents with your Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
- Pages. This iWork app is similar to Microsoft Word because both are word processors. This is a good app, too, that you can get from the Mac App Store > http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/
- LibreOffice. This free suite allows you to do everything that you can do with paid suites but with a free one. It's also open-source > http://www.libreoffice.org
You can read reviews of all of them in the Internet, but I personally prefer Pages. If you want something closest to Microsoft Word for PC, obviously the best option is Microsoft Word for your Mac

Best word processing app for i-mac?

As a 'newie' to the wonderful world of i-mac's can anyone recommend a good word processing app. Currently going round and round in circles trying to find one thats compatible with i-mac. Don't want to go down the Microsoft word option due to compatability issues.

Word is not that incompatible. But I do recommend looking at this listing of alternative products:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
and this list:
http://www.roaringapps.com/
The real problem people face with Word are font conflicts with some applications, macros that can cause files to misbehave, and using a version that hasn't been updated for their operating system. Version 2008 and 2011 are able to run on the latest operating systems, though some people have mentioned the installers have trouble on version 2008 on Mac OS X 10.7 and later.

Word processing for seniors

Folks,
I realize this is a Pages forum, but I would appreciate help on a slightly broader topic. My father in law is about 80 and uses Pages to write documents for his family history. He really just needs to write text and insert pictures, with no fancy formatting. Truth is, he somehow gets different fonts, sections, etc. by mistake, and his documents are screwed up like Hogan's goat. I fix them as best I can, but the assignment of text to sections, etc. makes it nearly impossible for a non-Pages expert.
Could anyone recommend a word processing program with minimal functionality, but with the ability to insert photos in line with text? The fewer features he doesn't need, the better for him and me. Any advice is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Don

TextEdit might be the answer for him.
Also, the new version of Pages (version 5) is very watered down and that might work too. He would need Mavericks installed to run Pages 5, though.

Best word processing app without a sync feature?

Hi there. My Grandpa received an iPad for his birthday for use while working on the job. Here is an explanation of the situation:
My Grandpa goes into paper mills and checks their machinery to make sure they are working properly. His traditional way to document this was by hand, writing out data into a checklist every week. Then, my Grandma would later re-type all of this data into Microsoft Word documents their computer. We figured the iPad could help save my grandparents a lot of time if used in place of this system. For one, files could be transferred over to their computer from the iPad, eliminating the need for entering the data by hand into the computer. Second, instead of rewriting out a new checklist every week, my Grandpa could simply open, edit, and re-save the file from the previous week while on the job, since much of the data rarely ever changes.
We eventually got a system set up but we have had a few difficulties in the process. Since the iPad doesn't support an actual Microsoft Word app, we knew we had to find another app that could open and save Word files. We first tried iWork Pages for iPad. The problem with this app is that files can't be saved by hand. They are automatically saved by Pages. This eliminated the use of the 'save as' option, where my Grandpa could edit a previous file and 'save as' with a new name. Pages also had trouble formatting documents previously made on my grandparents' PC. By the time the documents were transferred back to the computer, the formatting was messed up and it was not worth spending the time to correct this problem. Their current app is Documents To Go, which has worked a lot better. There is both a 'save' and 'save as' option, and document formatting is kept the same on both the computer and the iPad. However, we've run into one main problem with Documents To Go, and that is the Syncing feature.
I've never been a big fan of syncing myself, simply because it's really easy to make a mistake and not be able to fix it. It is 'convenient', but you have very little control the process. I much prefer a drag and drop process because it allows you to know exactly what's going on during your file transfer because everything is being done by hand. Syncing works fine if you know how to use it. Unfortunately, my Grandpa is not a very tech savvy person, but he was more than willing to learn the basics of the iPad if it could help him with his work. The main thing he has trouble with in word processing is the difference between 'save' and 'save as'. Since he is always opening up files from previous weeks to edit them and save them as a new file, it is critical that he uses 'save as' in order to give the document a new name. However, sometimes he forgets, and clicks 'save' instead. This overwrites the old file on the iPad. This would not be that big of a deal, except for the sync feature. Since my Grandma always syncs the documents each time my Grandpa comes home from work, the new files are synced to the computer. However, since the sync is a two-way system, any changes made on the iPad are transferred to the corresponding document on the computer. So if my Grandpa accidentally hits 'save' instead of 'save as' on the iPad and overwrites the previous week's data, the corresponding file with the same name is also overwritten on the computer, and therefore, all data from the previous week is lost. This would not be so with a drag and drop system, where a pop-up would notify my Grandma that two files have the same name, and she could rename the newest one accordingly, without losing any data.
So basically, I need to find a word processing app that uses a drag and drop system rather than a syncing system in order to simplify the process for my grandparents. The app also needs to be capable of keeping the document formatting the same in the transfer process, as well as have 'save' and 'save as' options. I know there are other apps out there, but there no trial versions, which means to test each one out, we have to purchase them, and we have gone through two purchased apps already.
If anyone out there has any advice on what we should do, we would very much appreciate your help on this issue. Thank you.

What's the best word processing app for the iPad?

Hello! I bought Pages as suggested when I got my iPad, but I'm not happy with it being so basic. Is there something with a wider range of templates, and with more options on page layout, etc?

There are a number available in the app store, at a variety of price points (Documents, Documents to Go, OnLive, etc.). But none will be anywhere near as full featured as MS Word for Windows or Mac, so you should read the descriptions carefully.
