[QUOTE="wirelessmacuser, post: 1012492, member: 136479"] I decided to try three difference suites on my new MacBook Pro, Office 2008, Open Office & iWork. I don't care for Microsoft Office for Mac as it's not the same as the windows version. There's just enough difference in the look and feel to make it a pain if you work in both environments (windows & mac). Open Office is great. First it's free, second it's available for Mac, Windows & Linux. All three are the same so there is no time wasting learning the differences. Open Office is also very easily customized in a matter of minutes you can hide any tool bars or buttons you don't use, so you have a very nice looking office suite that's very easy to use. Also all versions will save to any file format making it very easy to share files amongst windows, mac & linux. Finally beside being very easy, it's also very fast. Especially if you have an older machine you want to keep using as well as your new mac. The developers of Open Office keep it updated and as a result it's very bug free and stable. I also like that it's not a Microsoft Product. [/QUOTE]
