no. It only import. And the formating will be not the same. Mess up wink.gif

If you serious with Office stuff, I suggest you have to use Office 08. Especially numbers, it is still not in advance level.

Btw, it is "leaked" beta. That beta is for developer only. You surely can't find in Apple or Microsoft site la. biggrin.gif

currently using power pc ibook, office 2008 works slow in my ibook... thinking of changing back to office 2004.

ibook? It's better you use office 2004 instead. Office 2008 got many "cool cool" animations and transparency as well. Apart of that, Office 2008 is optimum for Intel although it also support PPC as well. I doubt it wil be smooth in G4 machines.

@jwho28m,
I somehow think Office 2004 would be more suitable for ur use, instead of or Office 2008.  Speaking of which, how do u revert to Office 2004?  Did u delete the previous files or did u just leave it on ur system during the installation of Office 2008?
*
Btw, it should automatically delete the previous installation files once you install Office 2008. I'm not too sure la cos I don't have office 2004, and never try too due to non-UB issue. Once I install the "retail" version of office 2008, it auto delete the office 2008 beta which I have installed brows.gif

@allvin,
You do need to remove it but it's removed into 'Trash' so u should be able to retrieve it from Trash smile.gif
*
err... for my case, it is already "deleted". I'm not sure about office 2004 la. that 2008 beta auto-deleted. I don't see any at my trash and in application also none of 2008 beta.

What about keynote files, can it be saved in power point format.
Sorry for all the last minute question, last minute decision on either getting ms office 08 or iwork 08
*
it can be saved as ppt but it is "export". But some of the transition will not have and formatting will be the same in ppt version, that's the down side. If you are serious in offce work, i suggest you get office 2008 instead of iWork, especially you are using excel. iWork numbers is not mature yet. That's my opinion. Like pages in iWork, when you import/export microsoft word files, usually the formatting will be KO. laugh.gif

Hey guys,

I just wondering, does iWork'08 FULLY compatible with windows' WORD?
(which means, i can save as .doc in Pages, and open .doc in Windows, vice versa)

Planning to get a iWork..

Who is using Pages currect?

Thank you.
