Desktop publishing?

[heabrook]

I want to purchase a program that will allow me to create and save documents (as .doc, .pdf too) and also allow me to create presentations and save them as power point extension if necessary.

I was considering buying iWork because it has both pages and keynote which would fulfill my requirements. But, are there any that are better? I do not want to purchase the MS word suite. I don't particularly want to support Microsoft.

I've never used iWork, so I can't comment on it personally. There are a lot of people that like it, and some that don't. Personally I have MS Office and am happy with it. However, NeoOffice is a free replacement for MS Office, and while it's not as polished as Office or 100% compatible, it works quite well, and will probably do what you need.
