@Balok,
Yes.. Open Office can go with Office

@Balok,
You lucky devil, you ! *grins* Yes it's FREE

@shoguniphicus,
I been informed that's because Mac Office 2004 wasn't built for the Intel chipped Macs - it was meant for the predecessors. Am awaiting Mac Office 2008 as that should speed things up.

@belango,
Y does Microsoft stuff alwiz need lots of power And how'd u get ur hands on a Beta version? *grins* Anyhow, let's hope it'll improve

@belango,
I see I see. It's expected to be out sometime in Q1 Y2008 if i'm not mistaken *shrugs*

Am wondering if anyone know if there's 'FAMILY PACK' for Office 08? *grins*

Also, any current users? Any feedback?

@BibirOn,
HmM.. student teacher edition? I should go check it out but why would I need 3 users?

Just got me hands on Office 2008 - loading time is much much much faster compared to Office 2004 - GUI's improved and it's looking more Mac now.

Will just have to work with it for a while more before I can give more comments.

@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?

@jwho28,
Oh... It's a good thing I haven't deleted the Office 2004 of mine, don't have the installation disk on me *grins* Had better keep a copy now - shaites.. I hope I can find the Product Key though *oopS*

Keynote is not difficult to use but it will take some getting used to. Once you're familiar with it, it's like a breeze. And it sure looks better than powerpoint. At least, not so many people use it, so ur presentation would look a little more unique than the rest

@jwho28,
It's the Office 2004 product/license key leh! Ah well, but it does look like I will keep on using Office 2008

@allvin,
You do need to remove it but it's removed into 'Trash' so u should be able to retrieve it from Trash

@IvanKang,
It can work; u just need to save it in the correct format - U choose the option when u save the file

@allvin,
I believe I had a choice of whether I wanted to remove Office 2004 or not; first time I didn't remove it and just went on to upgrade it but my files were still being opened by Office 2004, so I think I did a manual removal [perhaps that's Y it ended up in my trash] or well, i don't remember! *gulps*

Er.. If u just want users to view the file, save it pdf format, ur formatting will still be there; only fall back is the 'no edit allowed' problem! *grins*
