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.

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.
