Office just bugs me.

I use openoffice.org and AppleWorks.

Office is slow under Rosetta IMO, but if it was universal, I would use it. I just use NeoOffice right now. I haven't had much use for a word processor on my personal computer since I got out of school.

I would go with Microsoft Office for compatibility and its better if you can afford the $150. Or you can use OpenOffice, it would still be good.

i have never had problems with going from one program to the other, it was just a PITA to me to have to save the files in different formats so i could go to the computer lab, send a file to a friend, or whatever i needed to do...i was also, while at school, doing this to about 10 office documents a day
