Re: Word processing software
Hello George, You can open MS Word documents with TextEdit or Pages. I work with Word documents all the time as a freelance translator and I use Pages since it keeps most of the formatting correct. The only problems I have are with missing fonts and a few anomlies in the way text boxes and tables are handled. However, the fonts problem is minor and the layout problems are rare in what I do.

RE: Word processing software
The Mac comes with Text Edit for free which is a respectable basic word processor and Mail which is a good email program. It does not, as far as I am aware have a free spreadsheet solution. Personally I would counsel that if you are a heavy Office user then at the very least you will have a steep learning curve to learn the Mac way of doing things. Providing your needs are basic you will have no difficulty with meeting Office needs on a Mac. If however, like me , you need to do serious Table analysis and manipulation there is no serous option for doing this on a Mac apart from fairly clunky work around involving using a word processor and the Numbers spreadsheet simultaneously. I also found Numbers a steep learning curve and did not have the time to learn to switch from Excel usage because of the steepness of this curve. Apparently tables is less difficult but I am afraid I went back to using Excel on a Windows platform as I needed to get work done. It depends on what your expectations are. If your needs are creative art based, music , basic word processing, web browsing etc the Mac is a very good solution. If you have serious Office productivity needs for spreadsheet and tables in particular you will probably need Fusion at the very least to retain a Microsoft Office solution. This is why I have been unable to break from Windows and even this email is sent from a Windows laptop as I am taking a break from work. The learning curves could be made less steep with better guides. For example I am not aware, apart from basic Voiceover documentation, of any guide which systematically works you through switching from Excel to Numbers. Pages is also very different from Word and a similar guide would be useful . However a lot of Pages help is available on this list.

Re: another transmit problem (sorry)
If you're not absolutely stuck on a gui ftp program, you can try the ftp client that comes with osx. Simply open your terminal app (it's located in the utilities folder under applications) then just type ftp server where server is the address of the ftp server you want to connect to. There's another command-line ftp client called ncftp that automates a lot of the work for you, such as needing to type full ftp addresses and such, but again, it's a command-line app. However, if you are comfortable with command line utilities, and can remember the (relatively) few ftp commands you need to type, the terminal version of ftp that comes with the mac may be plenty for you. Of course, if you absolutely hate command line, and just have to have the graphical interface, there's nothing wrong with that, and you'd be better off ignoring this email. :) --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Word processing software
The free iText express will open and save the newer word documents. I think it keeps most formatting as well.

Microsoft Office for Mac! accessibility input.
All, I saw the below post on another email list and thought anyone here who wishes to improve the accessibility of MS Office, might want to give their feedback. he person I'm dealing with is Sara. She asked me to ask if you could give examples. For example lack of labeling, scenarios, etc. I am also including a link where you can contact her Microsoft blog directly http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saraford/contact.aspx Sean --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.
