I tried to use iWork for a while. Ended up forking over the money for MS Office. Mainly used Numbers. Could never get used to it, I'm much more effective in Excel.

I noticed a bug in the new version of Numbers. If you have an existing worksheet you cannot insert new rows. I hope they fix that soon.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm too busy to learn new software that essentially does the same thing as software that I'm already an expert at.

Have you reported the bug?

Sure you can.  Select the row and then click on the down arrow next to the row number and then "Add Row Above or Below".  Works fine.

Still waiting for integrated mail merge.
