The next version of office uses the new ribbon interface which I use here at work and it is really bad. I use the 2004 version of Mac office. Has to use Rosetta on the Intel Mac's but is good enough for when I need work or excel at home.

I'm assuming they mean towards the end of this year. Here's a link that talks about it: http://tinyurl.com/ylh6dt2 Bill On Sunday, February 14, 2010, at 05:59PM, "Nolan Porterfield" <[email protected]> wrote: > >_______________________________________________ >MacGroup mailing list >[email protected] >http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup > > After years of obstinately sticking with poor old outdated AppleWorks, I've finally decided I have to face reality and switch to a more current app, esp. one that's compatible with (ugh) PCs, since I do a lot of work with editors on PCs; the Mac to PC "translation" is time-consuming and uncertain. Checking around, I've found Office 2008 for Mac Home, which has Word, Entourage, PowerPoiint, and Excel (although I really only need Word and occasionally, PowerPoint). All for $109.49. I'm wondering if anyone in the Group has had experience with this app and can offer advice. Also, I'm told that while the Mac platform is not likely to get a virus (as we all know), the Office part needs virus protection. Recommendations for that? TIA Nolan
