Ready to upgrade a few programs and have a question:
What should I use for Word Processing, etc. In the past I have relied on AppleWorks. However, this is no longer supported. Additionally, my wife (this is her iMac) would like to open word (.doc) files that friends send her in email. This is a purely recreational iMac (not for business use) and I can't affort or justify spending $500 on Microsoft Office v.X for it (that is nearly 3X what we have invested in the computer).
What about iWork or NeoOffice? iWork doesn't have any form of spreadsheet, but
appears to be more stable than NeoOffice...Will both (or either) of them open
Word Documents (.doc) or Power Point Presentations?
Why not go to http://www.openoffice.org and download Sun's OpenOffice2
for OSX it is FREE and does everything Microsoft Office does and then some.
