Hi all, i hope i am asking this in the correct section.

I am thinking about getting MS Office 2008 (as it is the only one widely available in the market now) for my mac. My question is that because i am working mostly on MS Office 2003 formats for work on my Windows work laptop, will compatibility be an issue? Will the formatting of the file run? How about for excel and powerpoints?

I appreciate any feedbacks from all of you. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for both of your replies, daydreaming and crazyee.

After posting the question earlier today, i actually got an evaluation copy and it does run a bit, in terms of formatting for Word as the styles and formats are all messed up. Other than that, everything seems to be fine.

Crazyee, i would have proposed for upgrade to MS 2008 but then again, most of the files i received are from large financial institutions, which would then, make me go back to square one.

But anyway, thanks for your inputs. Appreciate it.

hi all,

i recently reformatted my unibody macbook to snow leopard. and a few days later, i noticed that my touchpad isnt that sensitive and is not really responding at times, even when i click on it (i usually tap). and also, i did not meddle with the sensitivity during leopard, and now, so i dont know if it's software related, or is it more serious hardware problem.

Anyone experiencing this as well? any help/comment is much appreciated, thanks in advance.
