Nope, not trial version. And yes, from past experience with Apple I was kind of surprised myself. I checked the DVDs that came with the machine and nothing there either. I hardly ever use a text app. and only loaded Office because a) I had it and b) I occasionally open power point docs. Most text I deal with is usually in email, unless I'm reading a text doc that came with whatever app.

Subject: What the ...

Today I had some reason for creating a text document. I just recently
bought my new iMac 24" Intel. So I went to start Apple works. Nothing
there. When I first got the computer I loaded Office 08' because I had
it. Good thing.
I checked my old install disks, couldn't find a thing. No Appleworks,
nothing like that. I did find something it wouldn't let me load
because the computer didn't support the OS 9 architecture. I looked at
iLife. I've got all that.
        So besides Textedit and Stickies, where the hell did and decent text
app go?

iLife is free. iWorks was $79 the last time I looked. It may be discounted with a new Mac. I'm surprised there's not a trial version on your machine. I have it and like it more than Office, but use Office of of habit most/all of the time.
