Up until this month I have managed communications with the dark side with Appleworks. However I have received two Word documents that I could not open and had to pass on to my PC son who opened and saved them as pdfs. MS Office 2008 (office version) is retailing for about $200 and I thought I had better take the plunge. My other Mac son runs MS Office 2004 but it would seem like going backwards to try and obtain a copy of such. However, as there have been four years between updates maybe it is good work horse. For those using the 2008 version are you finding it stable, backward compatible to say Office 98 or Word 6, unexpected issues to watch for?
Your comments valued.
Comments from users of the 2004 version also appreciated.
