[QUOTE="mab, post: 347719, member: 28419"] I ordered a new Macbook last night, and am eagerly awaiting its arrival! However, my girlfriend is slightly less thrilled. She has no problem with the purchase, but doesn't see the point and is worried about how she'll be able to open her Excel and Word docs on the laptop(we'll still have the windows desktop). I mentioned installing Windows XP, but her comment was, "then what's the point of buying a mac?" Are there mac apps that can create and/or open Word docs and Excel spreadsheets, edit them, then save in .xls or .doc formats? Should I just purchase Excel and Word for mac, or are there better alternatives? Is this a better option than installing Windows XP, and running those versions of Excel and Word? Beyond the Word/Excel issue, any ideas for how to help her get over the hesitancy to at least try the mac? Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
