 - Not User FriendlyI recently purchased Microsoft Office 2008 thinking it would be like all the other "Word" processing applications I have used in the past from Microsoft. I have always found those to be quite user friendly. This version is anything but user friendly. For example, the margins on the various pages are impossible to set and as a result you are constantly getting columns instead of margins that normally fit an 8 x 11 page. The tool bars are impossible to find and it took me forever to determine how to access the short hand keyboard strokes. The "Help" tab is so detailed that it takes forever to figure out how it is responding to your questions and when you find what you believe to pertain to your question it doesn't correspond to your application. I am disgusted with this piece of software and would never advise anyone to buy it. Why they changed their product so drastically is beyond me. Rating:  - Great softwareOffice for Mac is a really good software. In fact, I think this version is better than the MS software that installs on the PC. The floating palettes, the beautiful interface - is an improvement over the PC version. The only slight drawbacks are that that the software has to "render" excel and word documents into it's own format, which takes a few seconds wait, and that Apple's own software is now becoming more compatible with MS Office files, therefore reducing the need for this software. However, I really believe you can justify going out and paying the price for this software, it's really great. MS Office is still the standard for business-oriented document interchange. If your new to MAC and used to PC's and MS Office, then this helps in the transition. Rating: - Microsoft Office for MacWe were going to use the Mac word processor and found it to be too difficult to use. We really like the Office for Mac and have found it to be a good product. Rating: - No spellingMicrosoft Office 2008 for Mac I don't know what the full-blown version does, but the 'Home and Student' edition doesn't let you use an Custom Dictionary - at least not in Dutch and French. That makes it useless for me - back tot the 2004 edition. Rating:  - office 2008 for MacI like the ease of the new product. The layout makes more sense. The modifiers are more accessible with less steps. |
