iWork is being updated with a number of features for iPad, Mac and operating systems that should greatly enhance its ease of use. Updates have also been added for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

For iPad, for example, use of the Trackpad has been improved by a higher level of precision, which should also make it easier to navigate large documents. New templates in Pages and Keynote (on both iPad and Mac) have been added to make it easier to make their documents look attractive. For example, in iWork users can add large, decorative first letters. Collaboration should also become easier with support for folder sharing in iCloud and the ability to edit shared documents while offline.
