The Classic Office Suite

Strengths:

The Standard for .doc files. Self-repairing installations. Familiar yet distinctive interface.

Weaknesses:

E-mail stored in one huge database file, could have stronger templates, occasionally irritating when formatting

Posted Nov 25, 2007 - This is the de facto standard for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations, competently authored. In the last year or so I've used it less mainly because iWork is extremely attractive. Keynote and Pages offer a visual flair just not possible with MS Office 2004. Also, iWork is a universal binary, running natively on Intel machines. That said, Office 2004 still offers a lot that's not possible with iWork. Visual Basic scripting is here (although it will disappear in the next version). It is still better for very long documents, giving its more developed indexing/versioning system. Those who purchased this product recently (like me) are eligible for a free (other than shipping/handling charge) upgrade to Office 2008 when it is released in January. So, purchasing this package at a good price today will probably save you money over buying the new version next year.

Office 2004 for Mac

Strengths:

User-friendly interface, integrated programs, very easy to learn

Weaknesses:

Slide delays in PowerPoint automatic slideshow. Help feature could be better.

Posted Dec 29, 2007 - Overall great integration of FOUR exceptional applications- Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Entourage. Each application works smoothly with all the others. I appreciate the ease that all files flow between my Mac at home and my PC at work also. This program rarely crashes, and if it does, most of the data on the screen stays intact with little lost. Entourage, the email program, beats out Apple Mail App by a long shot with ease of set-up and organization of incoming mail and groups of addresses. The only drawback I have encountered so far is that slides in PowerPoint have a delay when either in slide show mode or manual advance. It is enough of a nuisance that I have gone back to Office X for PowerPoint when using a slide show. However, Word and Excel have no hitches that I have noticed. Customization of menus and tool bars for each individual app allows the user to personalize each program so that the commands that are used the most are the most easily accessible. This version comes with three licenses which allows for multiple installs which is a real plus. You can use it on a laptop and desktop and still have one to spare or share with a family member.

Very Nice Product

Strengths:

GUI is nice, very intuitive and looks nice

Weaknesses:

Sometimes not fully compatible when the document is transfered over to windows

Posted Nov 28, 2007 - Overall, a good product. Entourage is not easily able to convert over to outlook however. Also when saving pictures in documents, they often do not show back up on the PC as they are saved a mac form. However, I really enjoy the product, stable and gets the job done. Does take a little getting used to when switching over from a PC

Excellent Product - Mac Office 2004 Student Teacher Edition

Strengths:

This is a must for Mac users in a world of Windows. This lets you view, edit, print, and save all Office format documents.

Weaknesses:

some compatibility issues with files transferred to Windows computers, but I have never experienced one although MS has warnings.

Posted Nov 22, 2007 - This is a "must have" for students with Macs in a typical Windows Office environment. This software lets you edit and save all standard (not 2007) Microsoft Office document types. Of coarse, you have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Entourage is truly an amazing piece of software. I don't know why Outlook lacks many of the features found in Entourage. I highly recommend this software suite.

Big program as Microsoft

Strengths:

Good to use all the ncssary features

Weaknesses:

take a lot memory from the system

Posted Nov 22, 2007 - It takes a while to install this one, and after that the program takes a lot memory from the system, and quite slow down. So far it works great, and have most of feature I like to take advantage. Microsoft should do much better if they like.

Fantastic

Strengths:

1. Long file names 2. Better change/edit management 3. Lots of new features in PowerPoint (although Keynote still looks better displayed) 4. Much cleaner interface

Weaknesses:

MS should work on speeding up the apps in the .1 release.

Posted Nov 22, 2007 - It is simply a must have upgrade. Once installed, I was really quite pleasantly surprised to see that MS Office 2004 for Mac is ten times better than MS Office 2003 for Windows. Much cleaner, more logical interface, less cluttered, though stil la long ways off from clean and uncluttered. Some things are a little odd, but nothing I could scream about.

Office 2004 is pretty good but more importantly, it's pretty much a must have.

Strengths:

synchronizes with ical and spotlight!

Weaknesses:

Not Intel-native, runs in emulation, therefore it's slow.

Posted Sep 21, 2007 - You could go with one of the free, open source alternatives to Office, but truth be told, you'll have to worry about compatibility or formatting problems cropping up at inconvenient times. That's why I got this baby.

Office 2004 for MAC

Strengths:

Ease of use, compatibility .

Weaknesses:

None, so far.

Posted Sep 18, 2007 - I needed to have a simple transition from Microsoft Office for PCs to the MAC without having to learn the nuances of a different system with its own tricks and shortcuts. This product is almost seamless and allows me to use my developed skills in Word and Excel with ease.
