iWorks Apps for iOS updated for better Office Doc Handling

It looks like the Apple crew have been hard at work getting the iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) to play better with Microsoft Office documents. Among the key changes:

  • use of change tracking
  • accept and reject changes
  • imports Word docs with change tracking enable
  • preserve tracked changes in docs exported to Word
  • preserve calculations in tables
  • add reflections to shapes
  • lock and unlock objects
  • Overall some pretty sweet improvements that should make collaboration with co-workers a lot easier and smoother. Now if we can just get it to preserve the pretty Apple fonts: Calibri != Helvetica
