I wasn't sure if my late 2012 refurb iMac would qualify for the free 
iWorks announced yesterday.  But this a.m. I got a pop-up announcing 
they were ready to install.  Done.

I'll give them a fresh try (I use MS Office).

iWorks is great if you're basically a "stand alone". You will still
need Microsoft Office is you need FULL compatibility, if you do
presentations at other venues using their hardware, make complex
non-PDF documents that need to be swapped with other people /
businesses, etc.

This is why I use MS Office predominantly.
