If you’ve been lucky enough to have been able to work from home for the last few months, you’ll have no doubt developed a renewed interest in Apple’s productivity apps - Keynote, Numbers and Pages. And with good reason; they’ve matured incredibly from their early days as part of Apple’s iWork suite and can go toe-to-toe any day against the likes of Microsoft Office and Google Docs.

Starting on page 14, you’ll discover the incredible things you can do with each app, as well as quick and easy ways to collaborate with others using iCloud, and how to share your documents with people who use other office apps. You’ll be amazed by what you can do.
