Apple this week not only updated the standalone (downloadable) iWork apps for OS X and iOS customers but also carried out maintenance on the iCloud version of the productivity software.

Pages, Keynote and Numbers got a hefty dose of tweaks and enhancements this week, including the ability to share password-protected documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with a handy link, and “improved voice over support for body text and document manager,” just to highlight a couple.

Users are also getting new keyboard shortcuts and other perks, but the most visible enhancements in iWork for iCloud are in the graphics department. All three apps now feature iOS 7-style icons and graphics, putting the cloud-based office suite in line with the OS X and iOS version. Log into your iCloud account to see these updates today.
