[QUOTE="sunny_mac, post: 1350923, member: 231901"] Thank you so much everyone. It really was a great end to my suffering yesterday evening when someone on another forum told me about the openoffice. I did not know it existed. It was such a relief. I sent a word document from PC to Mac and back and it worked fine. A relief to begin with. Now, I dont think I will need to install windows. At least I hope. I may get MS Office for outlook and if I do, then the open office is not needed I guess. Reason for getting the MS OFfice is only for outlook and nothing else. The only question I have is how do I get access. May be for that open office should be retained. Dont know. Just thinking out loud here. I agree that the mac tech support guy should be fired. He is from India I am sure, as I am an Indian and I have lived in the US for 12 years and I can easily catch an Indian trying to sound like an American or an Englishman. Bad I did not get his name. Anyway, my troubles seems to be coming to an end as I have decided on what to do. Obviously the sooner I get thru the learning curve the better it is for me. I was surprised that neither the tech guy nor the sales guy talked about open office. And the techguy was the one that suggested i get iWork. Otherwise I did not know that existed and possibly he suggested that to make another sale. And to answer Deckyon, I use a simple pop email thing. Not an exchange server and dont know what Imap is. The settings are like smtpout.... and pop3... BUt thanks so much everyone. Yesterday was one heck of a miserable day and today I feel a lot better and proud to be an owner of a Mac Pro. Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaw. Thanks again Sunny [/QUOTE]
