5See what Redmond could do if their OS didn't suck, Mar 16, 2023
Very practical upgrade. A must for school. The ability to open PowerPoint files is invaluable. I like Word much better than Text Edit (who doesn't). I wish there was an easy way to set up Entourage. That is my biggest complaint.

5must have upgrade, Mar 10, 2023
First off, I would like to say that Microsoft did an outstanding job on Office for Mac, something that most people aren't used to hearing. There are so many improvements from previous versions, including faster speeds, smoother integration, and excellent compatibility with windows version 95 and up, just to name a few. Not to mention the beautiful design of the templates of all the included applications. Word, excel, powerpoint, and entourage look, feel, and perform like Apple's applications, which is a very good thing, with the added bonus of having the tools of microsoft office's programs.

I use Office for Mac especially for research papers and homework. With the portability of my Apple iBook laptop, i can't help but do online research wirelessly for my essays. Then I just use Word to type out and organize them. THIS COULDN'T BE EASIER! Because our printer is hooked up to the main computer in my house (windows-based), I just simply e-mail my word-processed essays to the main computer (a pc) and voila! My essay is automatically converted as soon as I open the document, fully compatible! Then it's just as simple as printing it out and your done!

Overall, I am so pleased with my purchase, I recommend this item to all of my friends and family and definetly recommend this to you. This is a must have upgrade for your Mac and it is worth every penny!

4Can Be Slow to Respond, Feb 21, 2023
I am using a new G4 Powerbook, 1.33 GHz clock, 256 MB RAM, and with no simultaneous applications running except for Office 2004 I experience the following:

Word 2004 Mac (version 11.1) is sometimes very slow to perform certain functions: opening documents (even small and new documents can take 5 to 8 seconds); deleting by hitting the Delete key (2 -3 seconds to respond); pasting text into a document (2 -3 seconds to respond); and clicking on toolbar menu items (click on the icon then wait five or six seconds before the pull down menu appears - this only seems to happen the first time after working in the document for a while, clicking on a second menu icon will cause the menu to appear instantly as it should).

Also, and perhaps related, scrolling down the page in Word 2004 by rolling the mouse scroll wheel for what would be a more than 9 or 12 line scroll down command seems to cause this weird wave to roll down the page. It is disorienting because you momentarily lose sight of the page and where you were. Could this be related to the slowness of Word 2004 (or the G4) and an inability to refresh the display quickly. Word 98 Mac did not do this, nor do documents pasted into Apple's TextEdit running on the same machine. All other apps run quickly on the G4.

Other problems include the occasional crash of Word (and loss of all of the document you entered since the last save) for example when selecting Tools > Spelling and Grammar.

Also, it takes too many steps to get to set margins for a document in Word 2004: File > Page Setup > pull down the Settings menu to choose Microsoft Word > click on Margins button. Word 98 was easier with fewer steps.

Other than the above the Office 2004 suite has served me well these past few months. There are many improvements in the Charting functions in Excel 2004.

4A bit bloated, but full of useful functionality too, Feb 15, 2023
I bought this upgrade mostly for its improvements to "Track Changes" and its improved handling of Unicode vis a vis Office X. The other changes and improvements haven't been so important to me, though there are a few nice features in here. One thing that is very important to me in my work is the abilty to easily exchange (mostly Word) files with Windows machines. This version is better than Office X in that regard.

Some other reviewers have reported crash problems. I haven't had that (it was a minor problem for me in Office X, and this version is definitely working better), though sometimes Word or Excel won't quit when I want it to, and I have to resort to "Force Quit". But that's easy enough to do. I haven't lost any data using these programs (touch wood). I might note that I have 1MB of RAM on my G4 machine. With a memory hog like this, more RAM is going to help avoid crashes and other such problems.

One last note - a number of reviewers have gone off on anti-Microsoft rants which seem to me to be somewhat pointless, especially in the context of these reviews. Yes, there are a number of other office suties (and the various components) for the Mac. Some of them are pretty good. But for a lot of people, it's important to be able to share files seamlessly with people using Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on Windows machines. This software will let you do that, with only the occasional hassle.

1Microsoft is really getting bad..., Jan 27, 2023
First let me tell you right now that I am and have been for several years a beta tester for Microsoft, MSN, ETC.
The beta of Office 2004 was BETTER than this piece of crappola.
Stay away from MS products. The program has what look to be great features, but let me assure you that is crashes, is slow, is full of bugs, and I HATE IT.

Did I make myself clear enought?
