Up until this month I have managed communications with the dark side

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.

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/
