iWork® '09 For Dummies®

Appendix B. Chapter Guide to iWork Techniques

Here's a big non-surprise: Similar tasks are done the same way in most iWork applications. In some cases, though, the techniques are located in a chapter designed for one of the applications because that helps the flow of the narrative. For example, despite the fact that a chart or a table can be equally at home in a spreadsheet, a word processing document, or a presentation, most people will look up charts and tables in a spreadsheet chapter, so that's where you'll find details of charting (Chapter 15).

Table B-1 shows a variety of tasks you can do with the iWork applications and the chapter in which that task is discussed. (If you see n/a, the task is not available for that particular app. For example, you can add a slide transition only to a Keynote presentation document.)
