Office for Mac is not currently accessible. However, the iWork suite is,
and there are other ways with which to open office documents.
YOu can access Excel files both with native OSX support as well as using
Numbers, which is a part of iWork.
ONe of the easiest ways to work with rtf and Word docs is to simply use
TextEdit which comes free with OSX.
Also, PDFs are readily accessible right from within OSX as well.
If all else fails, you can either run Windows using BootCamp or a VM and
run MS Office like that. So any way you look at it, Mac is a great
platform to use, and I, for one, am extremely grateful to Apple for the
amazing level of accessibility!
HTH and have a great day!
Smiles,
Cara :)

The inability to access Excel and other Office documents easily is the

That, and the cost of getting a new computer.

I'll think about that.
For me, I just don't see why! I should! upgrade other than to please
microsoft's expanding pockets, (and in fairness microsoft should've
included
proppper backwards compatibility, after all it's not as if they don't
have
the money for developement).
In fairness I'd need to investigate the bennifits of mac as an os, though
having been quite impressed with vo's performance on the iphone I do know
usage won't be as problematic as it would be with the irritating post xp
interface.
The only thing that puts me off mac is the stupidity with file management
for audio files, (I've found a way to get folder structures on the iphone
using playlists but it's not what I'd want all the time, and the fact
that I
need something that opens office and rtf documents.
I'd also be concerned that if, as people keep claiming newer windows
versions have upgraded this, latest that and more numbers in the other
someone would! be more likely to make something I wanted to do on windows
than on mac, (particularly since I already have access to a lot of mac
stuff
on ios).
All the best,
Dark.
