From the team that developed ClarisWorks (now AppleWorks), gobeProductive benefits these "all-in-one" computer users by bringing together the most-asked for features of productivity, layout, graphics and imaging applications, including:
| | - Word processing and page layout with features such as styles, live linked frames, sections, table creation & editing, output to PDF and to web, independent views of documents and multiple undo. gobeProductive reads and writes Microsoft Word file-format documents.
|
| | - Full-featured spreadsheets with 3D charting and powerful features such as multiple spreadsheets linked together in one document and
|
named ranges that can be referenced in text documents. gobeProductive reads and writes Microsoft Excel file-format documents.
| | - Graphics and illustration with features like anti-aliased graphics, multiple independent layers, definable gradients, element grouping and transparency.
