Macs already have a cursorDoes this add the cursor support that they mentioned was on its way?
I love iWork. Sure, far from perfect, but it is the best office suite IMHO. I use it in the enterprise, and even with the ecosystem limitations, it's powerful.
I am so pleased Apple continues to invest in this tool.
They’re downloaded and installed when you first attempt to use the templates. They may first appear as a fallback font, but they’ll come in.Why do most of the new templates come with missing fonts??
New typefaces (there may be more than listed but these are the ones I’ve spotted):
* Graphik
* Graphik Compact
* Canela
* Canela Deck
* Canela Text
* Druk
* Druk Wide
* Proxima Nova
Good, versatile choices.
This is the Mac apps. iOS and iPadOS updates coming soonDoes this add the cursor support that they mentioned was on its way?
You have to click on the app once you search for it in order to see the Update button. Personally, I've never seen this method of updating before. Perhaps, this is how Apple is trying to mitigate congestion resulting from everyone starting to download at once.Nope. Pages says 'open,' not update. I guess the impatient among us must wait....
Tried this on both my Mac and my phone. This only worked on my Mac.
EDIT:
[LIST=1]
* There are 19 new templates in Pages. Mostly books and resume's with a few letter templates thrown in.
* There are 10 new themes in Keynote.
* As for Numbers, there are two templates that are marked with a "new" dot next to their name. Blank Black and a new Table and Chart.
