Existing users, 
The % of Mac in Japan is still low. At school (I'm a teacher) I have a lot of documents & presentations to make. The school's computers are PCs. I have a iMac at home & transfer my documents back & forth with a memory stick.
With Pages (iWork) you save your work as .pages or you go to the menu "File" and select "Export". You're then given the choice between PDF, Word, HTML, RTF and Plain Text.
With Keynote you have the choice between .key and via "Export" to Quicktime, PowerPoint, PDF, Images, Flash, iDVD & HTML
Making a presentation with all the bells & whistles will quite honestly put PowerPoint to shame.
I don't want to spend hours making documents & fight with Word, so if your time is precious iWork is a good solution. I'm looking forward to iWork 07 for replacing Excel as well :)
Apple iWork 09
Productivity suite: Pages, Keynote, Numbers
Version: 9.0.3

I really appreciate this comment with it's suggestions re how to export to various programs. I have a friend who has IWork and I use Word, though we both have Macs, and since we are both computer semi-literates, we haven't been able to share documents. We are going to try this "export" feature and see it that works. Thanks!!ingrid Scott
