   Pages 6.2, Numbers 4.2, and Keynote 7.2 for Mac

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released updates to its trio of iWork apps for the Mac '
   [1]Pages 6.2, [2]Numbers 4.2, and [3]Keynote 7.2 ' with all three
   receiving the capability to reply to comments (with each person in the
   thread receiving a unique color and author identification) and the
   addition of a library with over 500 professionally drawn shapes (in
   categories such as objects, animals, nature, transportation, arts, and
   more). The three iWork apps also receive a new Auto-Correction pane
   that enables you to set up text replacements and more, enhanced support
   for Hebrew and Arabic languages, and improved Stock and Currency
   functions that return data from the previous market day's close.

   Pages improves on its desktop publishing powers by returning the
   capability to add linked text boxes (missing since the release of
   version 5.0, as noted by Michael Cohen at the [4]Take Control Blog),
   and adding support for exporting documents as fixed layout ePub books.
   Additionally, Numbers adds support for print preview in collaborative
   spreadsheets, while Keynote enables you to scroll anywhere with new pan
   and zoom options plus edit presenter notes while displaying slides in
   Light Table view. The iOS editions of [5]Pages, [6]Numbers, and
   [7]Keynote also get updated to version 3.2 with the same additions and
   improvements as their Mac counterparts. (Free for all apps; [8]Pages,
   237 MB; [9]Numbers, 176 MB; [10]Keynote, 474 MB; all three require
   10.12+)
