The iWork/AppleWorks Special Interest Group (SIG) met on the evening of May 5 at the Merriam Park Library. The meeting started early with a demonstration of the Inspiration 8 app in response to questions about a prior demonstration of the application. Our moderator, Pam Lienke, used Inspiration to create a graphical diagram of an outline of an article or presentation about her family’s vacations. After Pam created the diagram, questions about the ability of the application to re-order the parts of the diagram were asked and explored. Pam also showed how the diagram can be converted to an outline in a word processing program.

During the course of the meeting we discussed Pages and how to change fonts efficiently, controlling the position  of graphics in a Pages document, use of the Search Sidebar, configuring the Toolbar, using the Paste and Match Style command, and Full Screen Mode.

At our Pie SIG at Bakers Square, we all enjoyed free pie and great conversation.
