MS Office 2008

2008-07-18 Thread Mervyn Giuliana Bond
Thank you to James, Greg, Robert, Reg, Barry, Susan for your comments 
on alternatives to MS Office 2008 and also what glitches can occur 
with Office.
I have gone down the path of downloading Neo Office and making an 
appropriate donation.
Opened several Word documents without a problem but had to seek 
advice from James with one that I found tricky. Resolved and all 
well.  I don't find Neo Office as intuitive as Mac applications but 
of course a large part of that is familiarity. With practise I hope 
to open its secrets.

Thank you all.
Merv

Why not try iWork ... only $99.00 ?
I switched recently after first trying MS Office 2008.
Mutch simpler interface and easier to use  typical Apple product !!
And reads all the MSO files.
Numbers is particulary good .. I love it's flexibility.

I obtained OpenOffice 2.4 for the purpose of interacting with some  
Word users.  However, I can read their .doc s and can make editorial  
corrections and comments with OpenOffice and return the document to  
them, but they cannot see my input.  I don't know what version of Word  
they are using, but it is probably older versions.

I also revise and comment on MS Word documents.  I am now using OO 3.0  
but used to use v 2.4 with no problems.  Are you making sure that open  
office save as a .doc  and not in the OpenOffice format .odt  ?  The  
option is in the save as section.

Hello Merv

You could try Neo Office it's free.

http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php

It seems to be reliable and is open source.

Mostly I use Pages which is excellent.

MERV ,

One thing you will want to check out is the Word document that is  
created.


New 2008 Word documents cannot be opened by Wprd 2004 .
Word 2008 might be able to save in the older format... I don't know .

There was /is currently a converter that can be used ,

The one I know about is DocX converter from  http://www.panergy-software.com/

Re compatibility with Office 2004, Office 2008 saves documents  
as .docx by default, which is the same as the Windows version of  
Office. However, you can specify to save as .doc so that you documents  
are fully compatible with Office 2004 and you won't need a special

Unfortunately you ere right.  Version 3.0 (beta) is an intel product

Unfortunately you ere right.  Version 3.0 (beta) is an intel  
product only.  Version 2.4 should run on your powerbook, however,  
this does need X11.  You could try Neo Office but I hear it may not  
be as stable.

I am not totally sure but I think not.  The Open Office website  
is quite comprehensive, although not always easy to navigate, and  
you should be able to check.
