I just got to try it out. It’s… OK. Â Definitely nicer looking than Google’s Docs offering, with some more conversion and graphics options, for sure, but some things elude me. Â In Pages, for instance:
- Tabs/margins? Dragging or clicking on the ruler does nothing.
- Columns as shown on this page don’t seem to be possible.
- Editing or creating paragraph styles is MIA, also highlighted on that same page.
Maybe they’re just disabled for the beta. Â That’s fine and I don’t expect a lot from this product at this point.
What I do expect, in the near future is some news on whether iWork ’09 is the last of its kind. Â Should I buy Pages now or wait? Â I am very pleased with the iPad version but I want quite a bit more than this web app will offer me on the desktop.
