Noland:

I have had six or seven books published, the first one in 1992, then again in 1999, as well as articles, dating back even farther. All my books were done with Microsolft Word, and I am still using it. None of my publishers have ever had any problems due to my submitting text with Microsoft Word. I am presently using Word 2004 and my Mac has system 10.5.8. I never had any virus protection.

I don't know if Microsoft Word is the best application to use, but it has been more than satisfactory for me. I actually preferred Word in the early days, when it was simpler, but what I have now is OK.

After years of obstinately sticking with poor old outdated AppleWorks, I've finally decided I have to face reality and switch to a more current app, esp.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
