April Meeting
April’s presentation featured Tom Abruzzo from the
Walt Whitman Apple Store. It is always a treat to have Tom
as a presenter, because he not only shows the product’s fea-
tures, but exactly what you can do with each of them. This
time Tom showed the new iWork ’09. I am presently using
the suite, (in fact I am using it to write this review) and
many of Tom’s tips were quite welcome.
Tom started by showing the Pages word processing
module (as many of you know, it also includes a page layout
module). The first thing Tom showed was the many tem-
plates included in Pages. These are basically pages set up
with a lot of place holders, so you don’t have to bother with
formatting, to include such things as; addresses and phone
numbers. You can remove what is there and later insert
your own information without having to adjust the format-
ting. Next Tom showed how to use the contextual format-
ting bar. This allows you fine control over spacing, font size,
style, alignment and more.
Next Tom showed how to include a picture (or graphic)
in your document. In addition he showed the many effects
that can be added to your picture such as: drop shadow,
reflection, and even a border. Tom also showed how (and
when) to use instant alpha to remove the background of a
This month we will play host to
Lesa Snider , author of Photoshop
CS4: The Missing Manual. The
multi-talented Lesa, a well known
author, magazine contributor,
graphics educator and corporate
trainer will demonstrate editing
digital photos and creating
documents with the premier image
editing software application, Adobe Photoshop CS4. Lesa
spent many, many months before the software’s release
writing what is sure to become
one of the standard references
for Photoshop CS4, receiving high
praise from none other than
Photoshop Insider’s Scott Kelby,
“…it is the new Photoshop Bible.
Way to go Lesa!”
As usual, the meeting begins
with the two Q&A sessions fol-
lowed by the main presentation. Next come announcements
and the rafffle, then the SIG sessions round out the meeting.
This month is sure to be a real crowd pleaser, so make
sure you’re one of the crowd! 0

photo or graphic. You can then wrap text around it, or
place it in a background you create.
Next on the menu was Keynote. Interestingly he went
from Pages to Keynote because there was a theme to his
presentation. It was starting a business. First, letterhead
created in Pages, and then a presentation created in
Keynote. He demonstrated how to make the presenta-
tion, add graphics, add builds (effects on single slide)
and transitions (effects from slide to slide), and even add
graphs created in Numbers.
