Apple Adds iWork.com Enhancements

ByMike Moffit

Apple sent out a note to iWork.com beta users this week about some new features and improvements they’ve made to the iWork.com service.

From Apple:

Automatic email notification.
Now the iWork.com beta lets you stay up to date whenever viewers add new comments or notes to your posted documents. You can choose to be notified immediately, hourly, or daily.

Enhanced security.
Automatic 128-bit SSL encryption now safeguards communication between you and your viewers via iWork.com. You can also password-protect documents you share on iWork.com—so even if someone has a link to your document, they won’t be able to view it without the password you supply.

Refined user interface.
The redesigned Shared Documents page includes thumbnail previews so you can more easily identify your shared iWork files. You can also organize your shared documents by date, name, size, or comments received. And you can now access all your shared documents by signing in at www.iwork.com.

To get started: Under the Apple menu, click Software Update and install any updates for iWork ’09. Select “Share via iWork.com” from the Share menu to share a document from Pages, Numbers or Keynote.

  • MAC TREAT #101: Get Smart

    Using Apple Mail? Want to get your emails organized? Ditch regular folders in favor of using Smart Mailboxes. Smart Mailboxes are essentially saved searches, and used correctly, can be an incredibly efficient way to manage your inbox.

    Here are some ways to utilize Smart Mailboxes:

    * Flag your messages that you can’t get to right away and then make a Smart Mailbox with only your flagged messages.
    * Make a Smart Mailbox for any weekly or schedule email you receive.
    * Create a Smart Mailbox that makes it easy to exclude what you don’t want. For example, I manage several shared inboxes that happen to get a lot of spam. I’ve created a Smart Mailbox for the emails I need to see, so I mark them as read, and then when I go back to the inbox, I sort by status (read or unread) and then delete all that have not been read as a group.

    Smart Mailboxes do not move the emails from your inbox; they still exist there, but are organized such that you can view them according to your rules. If you delete an email in a Smart Mailbox, it will be deleted in your inbox because it is not a copy.

    To create a new Smart Mailbox, click the + at the bottom left hand part of your Mail window and select *”New Smart Mailbox…”*. It will then prompt you to apply rules. To create a Smart Mailbox from a selection, click an email that you want to be part of the Mailbox and click the +.

  • Site of the Week: CreativeTechs.com

    Mac tips are plentiful around the internet, and as far as I’m concerned, I can’t get enough. The folks over at “CreativeTechs.com”:http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/ have a great tips blog dedicated to Mac, Adobe and photography tips in particular.

    They also offer classes and seminars in all of the major Adobe products: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, etc. in the Seattle area. Anyone from around the world can join in, though, and portions of each class are posted after a live event.
