[QUOTE="powermacj7, post: 606066, member: 28821"] I jumped out and purchased it right away since I work with reports in Word format. I must admit, I prefer Pages at this point. Personally, my biggest complaint is Office 2008 takes forever to load (Word). The interface took a bit of fooling around with, and I had the same spacing problem mentioned (the solution offered here works). I also use Entourage for my exchange email at work. I feel Entourage 2004 & Entourage 2008, are essentially the same. I debated heavily to purchase the Office 2008, although I don't regret it. I keep saying, "This is my last office purchase," over the years I have always purchased the new office for Mac. In my opinion, the alternatives out now (NeoOffice & Pages) offer great features. I use Pages, it has the features I need. Load quickly, and is stable. Although I feel Pages needs to mature a bit, and I sure it will. Also I have not had any trouble with people reading my documents (exported into Word format). I share my reports in a Windows dominated work environment, and I am sure most don't even know I have Mac. [/QUOTE]
