Purchase of Word for mac Software 17 Oct 2008
By Charmaine - Published on Amazon.com
After some time and research I decided to buy Word for Mac. As a graphic designer, I already had an IMAC. Yet for my writing class, everything needed to be submitted in Word. So after looking at Laptop PCs, and the separate price for WORD, it was clearly a better deal to buy Word for the Mac. I am very happy with the software, it's very much like Word 7 I use at work on a PC. I received it promptly and I'm very happy with the service and the software.

many bugs that Microsoft is ignoring 19 Nov 2009
By B. Stenman - Published on Amazon.com
I am running into bugs in use of symbols, header problems, and other format issues and problems bring in Word doc files that were created on a PC running XP and Word 2003. Checking on the internet for solutions and the microsoft website for support and I see that these bugs were reported years ago and no fixes were generated. Microsoft Word for the Mac is a dead product that Microsoft is not supporting but happy to suck out as much cash from old code for as long as they can get away with it.

Better to get iWorks from Apple or any other word processing program. I thought that it would insure maximum compatibility with Word files created on a PC by myself and others but I was wrong. Microsoft does not want to make it easy for people to defect from the Windows camp and it shows in this malfunctioning software they continue to sell.

Infuriating 23 Feb 2009
By climbbum - Published on Amazon.com
I really wanted to like this program, I really did. Yeah it loads slow, but whatever so does the whole Office suite for Mac. But unlike the rest of the suite this program is just terrible. The best way I have heard it described is: "Office just thinks it is so dang smart." It goes too far, automated functions galore. The problem is that there are so many automated functions that one becomes a slave to them and many are hard to turn off.

Some of these functions (such as autocorrect spelling as you type) are truly useful. Others such as the horrendously implemented "Bullets and Numbering" section and the just plain odd function that makes it really difficult to make single spaces in, say, an address are not useful and in fact end up wasting a lot of my time.

All in all I will tell you that Wordperfect is far and away better than Word. OpenOffice is a lot better and a lot freer option as well. If you are stuck buying Word 2008, sorry (maybe you can stick with the 2004 version, it is better), if you aren't get a better program.
