I liked my old version of Word better. I had a very difficult time finding the spell-check icon for the toolbar, yet things like "Insert No Smoking Symbol" were available. (Finally found it...Silly me to think that "All Commands" might actually contain *ALL* the possible commands! (FYI it is under "Tools" (I am of course talking about the "customize toolbar commands menu."
Also, if you *do* need to call Microsoft, be prepared to spell your name 6 times to the friendly person in Calcutta who can't understand your accent. I finally had to have a friend who spoke Hindi call!
C'est La Vie. Let's face it. Office for Mac is a necessary evil.

I got the Office for Mac so as to allow me to transfer documents between machines. I would have to say that transferring data using a USB drive saves me a lot of time, although it is not entirely seamless. Some formats on Office Word 2003 are not quite the same on the Mac Office. Otherwise, Office for Mac allows me to continue using my Apple in a PC dominated workplace. It was a good investment.
Microsoft Office 2004 for MAC February 28, 2006

I have the trial vesion on my computer right now. I have to admit that the only problem with it is that it does often do things you don't want it to do, but only if you pull up a file that was originally from the PC version. For some reason Macs have a little trouble reading original PC files, fixing it is no problem however. Besides that, the program is almost as neccessary as it is convenient. As the only college student (or at least one of the very very priveleged few) with a MAC laptop, typing papers on Appleworks is a son of a gun because it can't be reformatted in Microsoft Office. Which is awful because I don't have a printer and all the University's computers are PC which means I have to email papers to myself and then copy-paste into Microsoft Works and reformat the THE WHOLE THING.
With M.O. for Macs I can save papers to my jump drive and bring it up again on a PC without a single problem. Another cool thing about M.O. for Macs is that it gives you more options (which is probably due to the massive ram that Macs have standard), more fonts, more colors, (superior) templates, and things things like that.
It is also as easy (or easier) as using a PC. Instead of an upper tool box, it has a lovely cascading tool box on the side that shows what each option does instead of just saying it.

Having been a Word user since version 1, I still like it although the fonts do not show up regular size as in previous versions. I do not regularly use Excel or Powerpoint, but they look as though they should perform admirably.
My chief gripe is with Entourage. The mail gives me duplicates of everything. The junk mail corner is great...catches most of it. Those things are OK, my problem is that I cannot send mail from this program. The server will not accept it, so I have to go to "Mail" application on my Mac to send mail to someone. It is a bit incommodious to read mail on one application and reply on another. I am running Tiger X (OS 10.4.6) and any help you have will be greatly appreciated.
The software arrived in a short time, installed easily. I do like ordering from Amazon because I have yet to have an error in my order, and the material is always of top quality.
Thank you.
 MS Office for Mac January 29, 2007

I am satisfied with MS Office for the Mac. I transferred my office documents from my PC onto my Mac and I use them as If they had "always" been on the Mac. Seamless interface between the PC and the Mac. I have used Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I wish the Mac had a compatible DBMS so I could move my database files over also - instead, I have to use the "Parallels" software which runs MS Windows in a Window on the Mac; I have my MS Office XP Pro loaded into that sysem so I can run Access and use my database files. Other than the lack of a DBMS, the office software is "just like on my PC", only with the smooth Mac GUI :=)
