Hi All,
I'm sure there have been a lot of posts like this in the past, but I was hoping you could provide me some advice. I've had a PC forever and recently made the switch to a MacBook Pro. I'm taking grad school classes online and so far with this computer have lost a paper that I was 10 pages into because my computer froze, had a ton of formatting issues and still don't really know where anything is?! When I purchased this computer I was told the iWork software was completely compatible with Word, and I've come to find out, it is not, so now I have to purchase Windows for Mac.
Needless to say, it's been a really frustrating 3 weeks and I've been regretting my decision about buying this because I don't have time to learn where things are and have had some pretty big issues with it in the short time I've had it.
I really only use the computer for classes (Blackboard), and creating documents for my course and the Internet. I also recently found out MS Windows has a program that put documents in APA format, which I need for school but can't find anywhere that my program has that feature?
Any advise or tricks that any of you who switched from PC's to Macs used I'd really appreciate.
Also, can someone please tell me when I purchase the Windows for Mac program is it completely compatible? I'm really only going to be using Word, so that's all I'm concerned about.
Thanks in advance for any help...
