Microsoft Word 2007 (Mac) Description:

Microsoft Word 2007 (Mac) review:
4 stars (Good Quality, took too long) - Word program is excellent. It has many easy to use features, including tool bars.

However, I had to wait for quite a while to receive the rpoduct. After checking my order status, which showed that it had been delivered, I had to wait another 5 days before I actually received it. I would order this product directly from Macintosh.
5 stars (Microsoft has Done Word Processing Right) - It is hard to find anything bad to say about this program, except that it is slow as molasses on my G3 iBook. However it zips along on my gal pal Sara's G5 iMac. I mean it flies. And there is nothing you cannot do with it, from formatting a book (who needs PageMaker or Quark anymore), to writing a screen play. You can change the menus to anything you want, for example Sara has four font menus. You can save your stuff as a pdf document and your pdf opens exactly like it was in Word and I mean exactly.



But, as I said, it's too slow on my older iBook, so I use the previous version of Word instead and the excellent NisusWriter WP (for Mac only). Word will open anything. The dictionary is pretty good, but the thesaurus could maybe be better. No, it could definitely be better. But here I'm nitpicking, probably because it's hard for way left leaning me to admit that Microsoft got something right. And about my iBook being too slow to run this elegant program, maybe, just maybe it's time I sprung for one of those new nifty PowerBooks with the glow in the dark keyboard. Whoohoo.

3 stars (incremental improvements) - Despite all the touted improvements in this latest version of MS Word for the Mac, experienced Word users should consider carefully before plonking down for it. The chances are that if you are comfortable running an earlier version on your Mac, then there is little need to migrate.



Though I'll grant that one new feature is appealing. The ability to avoid the automatic corrections and numbering does indeed give you more fine grained control over the document.



Overall, consider skipping this version.
