[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1332110, member: 214663"] I think many Mac users here have great success using MS software versions on their machines and connectivity issues are not restricted to MS issues alone. I would persevere and you will find the solution eventually rather than 'throw the baby out with the bathwater'. It's not that we don't care it's just that dropouts and connectivity problems can have so many causes that they are hard to pin down. I've had my fair share and it is an incredibly frustrating issue. In my experience the vast majority of Excel users do not even scratch the surface of it's capabilities, and Pages is more than capable of fulfilling the average user's needs and beyond. The problem with trying to shoe-horn pivotal MS software into Macs is that you never get the full experience and almost always end up grumbling about conflicts and shortcomings because you create a hybrid which was never meant to be. Booting it up as a PC using Bootcamp might actually be a solution for you given your preference for MS software but you'll lose huge benefits along the way. [/QUOTE]
