[QUOTE="powermacj7, post: 580110, member: 28821"] I was able to purchase Office 2008 through my job, with a discount. At work, I like Entourage for exchange server email. It still does not have all the feature of even Office 2003 for Windows. I spend much of the time in Word. Overall, it appears Word is okay, the interface is taking me a bit to get used to. Text rendering seems better than Office 2004. In my reports I place "Page X of X", it took me a few minutes of fooling around to figure that out. The header field check box dialogue has a delay. In other words, when I go to close the header field, I click on the (X) a few times before it responds. Word does not remember my toolbars from one session to another. I add the reviewing toolbar, quit word, re-open it and the have to add it again. Entourage imported my old exchange server settings no problems. Unlike Outlook, I have to insert a background image every-time. Overall I like Entourage, and the my day has been helpful. At home I will stay with Mail. My only complaint is a general one, Microsoft has always treated Mac users as second class citizens. This version of Office is more Mac like than pervious ones, still lacks features of the Windows counterpart. [/QUOTE]
