Spread Sheet

Ive got an old CD disk with MS Works 4.0 on it I think it was for W95 and I used in on W98. Installed it in XP and it wasn't exactly a disaster but.....

Anyway would MS Works 4.0 work with 10.5? ( I guess Leopard is 10.5?)

I won't get my iMac on line till late this week - I'd like to try that SS on the wide screen.

It might work fine as long as your running windows with vmware or parallels.

No Windows - straight Mac

Then no. It's a Windows program.

Interesting that you post here that you won't get your iMac until late this week but you post this in another thread yesterday:

We really do not need trolls here.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I have the IMac but not a router for which I am waiting which will arrive this week. I am trying it offline. Sorry about that. I ain't no troll - I got questins and some are for sure stupid but they are legit.

I apologize for my mistake. Your post did say "on line". The mistake is mine.

There are plenty of people here willing to help. For a spreadsheet, I suggest downloading NeoOffice when you get online.

Agreed - for a free alternative, NeoOffice is a great solution. When you first open it, it will open in the word processing program, but if you go to the File menu and click New, you can start the Spreadsheet, Database, Drawing or Presentation programs, which are all very similar to their Microsoft counterparts and fully compatible.

Also note that trials of Microsoft Office 2008 and iWork '08 are also available in your Applications folder if you want to check those as well.
