[QUOTE="Steve_A, post: 730328, member: 67661"] I'm an iMac noob myself, but I'll jump in and say that I decided on iWork for word processing, spreadsheets, etc. I haven't used it that much yet, but it seems nice, and many on this forum like it. Your other choice is MS Office for windows, which is also supposed to work well. iWork is $75, which is less than Office for Mac. The files that we had transferred over from the PC were MS Office, and they open fine in iWork. One Apple Store salesperson that we talked with said that the only thing that might be a problem with iWork was, if you were sending files back and forth with corrections to a PC running Office. Apparently iWork saves the files in an Apple format by default, but it will convert them. Others here can probably shed more light on this. It sounds like you may be running Windows with Boot Camp to play WoW? If that's the case, maybe you can just run MS Office for Windows? [/QUOTE]
