TECH: iWorks Pages vs. Microsoft Word

The Pages app in iWorks is similar to Microsoft Word in at least three ways.
1. In both one can create and edit text within a document and add colors, underlines, bold, and several other text edits.
2. One can form folders and save different documents within one folder.
3. One can add pre-ready charts and images to the text of the document.

There is one major difference and that would be the formatting. iWorks Pages is laid out like an app and one drags and drop documents into folders. Microsoft Word enables the user to work with folders by merely clicking or tapping on the folder and the clicking save. The interface is much less visually appealing in Microsoft Word.

The iPad makes the use of iWorks very fluid and easy. Microsoft Word on the others hand is rigid and  is not very straightforward when using the iPad
