4 Star Review Student & Teacher Edition

Strengths:

No difference between this version and the full retail version.

Weaknesses:

Rosetta emulation on Intel Macs.

Posted Feb 2, 2008 - This is the most robust office suite you can get for your Mac. The only application lacking is a database. The 2008 version from Microsoft was released this year and besides additional features and suites, it is a fully Universal app; meaning it will run natively on your Intel Mac. This version runs in emulation on your Intel Mac. Since this is an end of life product from Microsoft, you may want to consider the newer 2008 edition for future enhancements and support from Microsoft.

5 Star Review Microsoft Office 2004 Student and Teacher, Great choice

Strengths:

Improved a lot from OFFICE X. Solved the issue of transitional compatiblity between PC/MAC. Provide a lot more great features.

Weaknesses:

Occupy a lot more system resource than its previous version

Posted Jan 29, 2008 - If you buy your Mac computer within two years, you can take advantage of this new version. It gives you a lot more freedoms and convenience to finish your work/study. Don't bother if you are still using your old machine, you will spend most of your time on waiting. Great product with affortable price. I enjoy having it.

4 Star Review Good overall package

Strengths:

Three licenses, reasonable cost, has the basics

Weaknesses:

A few quirks when working cross-platform, a bit sluggish, some menus not very intuitive, not the full Office suite

Posted Dec 25, 2007 - This is still the best office package available for the Mac. It is a pretty good way to work on office documents and share with the PC world, but occasional cross-platform glitches can occur, though not detrimental. A few PC features are left out, but that\'s to be expected. Overall, a good package for a reasonable price. ***Note: I highly recommend buying this before Jan. 14, 2008 and redeeming the Super Suite Deal rebate which provides a free upgrade to the upcoming Office 2008 for Mac. See the Microsoft website for details.***

3 Star Review Still the best way to work with those poor people stuck with Windows

Strengths:

Allows you to easily open and exchange files with Windows users. More intuitive for a Mac user than Office 2003 for Windows.

Weaknesses:

No Microsoft Access database application. Reportedly a little slow on Intel machines.

Posted Dec 24, 2007 - Whether I like to admit it or not, it's still a Windows world. Having Microsoft Office, or a suite that easily exchanges Office files, at hand is a necessity. Microsoft office is the obvious choice, even though other suites from Apple and others can work with many Microsoft file formats, although sometimes not as fluidly or with as many features. This is a reduced-price way to get Office on your Mac without paying through the nose for the standard version, if you are eligible: this version is legally licensable by teachers and students only; hence the name, and the price. It is identical to the Standard version in other aspects.

5 Star Review excellent program to tide you over until office 2007

Strengths:

it is ms office, it is has all 4 major programs (word, excel, powerpoint, access), you get 3 licenses

Weaknesses:

it is not universal binary

Posted Dec 8, 2007 - this is a very nice release of office for many reasons. Some versions of office do not include powerpoint, but this contains all the major programs. not only that, but you get 3 licenses. This is very nice for those with a multi-computer household. having a legal copy for both a laptop and a desktop is very useful. the major drawback of ms office is that it is not a "universal binary." When apple switched to intel chips in 2006, they created a new type of programming called "universal binary" that makes programs run faster on their new intel machines. Microsoft will not use this new type of programming until the next version of Office (office 2008). all this means is that office 2004 is not optimized for intel macs, but it is still 100% useable. most people won't notice the difference except when starting up the program. i would whole-heartedly encourage the purchase of office 2004 until office 2008 comes out.

4 Star Review Good translation of the Word Processing / Spreadsheet standard

Strengths:

- Microsoft Word and Excel work well - Cost is fairly reasonable for this edition (3 licenses)

Weaknesses:

- Entourage is noticeably different from Outlook - Interface is a bit dated

Posted Dec 2, 2007 - If you've ever worked in any kind of office environment you're probably familiar with at least Microsoft Word documents, if not Excel spreadsheets. Office for Mac is a faithful translation of those standard productivity apps on Windows. Still more powerful than any other word processing or spreadsheet application for OSX (ie. iWork). Word docs and Excel spreadsheets will probably continue to be the standard, so the Office apps will continue to be the most compatible for working with these file formats. The interface is a bit dated but given that this product is from 2004 that's understandable. This edition includes licenses for up to 3 computers which makes it a pretty good deal.

4 Star Review Office 2004 Student and Teacher

Strengths:

This software was very easy to install and use.

Weaknesses:

Can be a little slow at times.

Posted Dec 1, 2007 - The software offers all the features of the Standard Edition at a better value. It includes Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. It includes a built-in PDF converter. Overall, this is a great software package, it was easy to install and is easy to use.

3 Star Review Lot left to be desired

Strengths:

easy transition from mac to pc, formatting palette/toolkit can be vary helpful

Weaknesses:

not written in universal binary (lag time), feels out-dated, powerpoint images do not always format correctly when opened in windows.

Posted Dec 1, 2007 - Office apps are essential for many of us who like to use macs at home but are required to use pcs at work, so buying this software allowed me the freedom of working at home. Bottom line...it gets the job done, but it isn't always pretty. The interface is similar to PC-based programs, so if you know how to use these programs, you can start right up. The fact that is isn't written in binary code is very annoying for us with Intel-based macs, and can cause significant lag time. I've found that certain images pasted in powerpoint slides will not show up on windows office 2004 powerpoint for some reason...I'm not sure what software is at fault in this case. The formatting palette is helpful to access tools quickly, but I know its even better in Office 2007. I would suggest (at this point) waiting for 2008 to roll around to obtain Office for Mac 2008, where many of these issues will be fixed.

3 Star Review Office 2004 for Mac

Strengths:

Tons of features

Weaknesses:

Not Intel native, not a significant upgrade from previous version of Office

Posted Nov 29, 2007 - Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac is a minor upgrade of Office 2001 for Mac in my opinion. I have used them both. Office 2004's look and feel is almost exactly like that of the 2001 version. I didn't notice any real changes to the menus or the palettes. Office 2004 has some new hyped features that I think most users will never use. For example, Microsoft introduced a "Project Center" to manage all information related to a "Project". I tend to work on simple documents like a single spreadsheet or a Word document and I don't consider them to be projects that I have to manage with a "Project Center". Luckily this feature is optional. One new feature that I like is that spreadsheets in Excel can now be worked on in "page layout" view like you can with Word documents. This is a handy view to work in when you know you will need to print the spreadsheet after you are finished with it. It gives you a WYSIWYG view of your spreadsheet as you are working on it. Most people know (or should know) that Microsoft Office for the Mac is not the same as Microsoft Office for Windows. This is not a good thing for those who create Office documents on the Mac and hope to use or share them with the Windows version. Because of that, Microsoft introduced a compatibility checker for Office 2004 for Mac. Once you run a document through the compatibility checker, you can then make changes to the document so that it will be compatible with the Windows version. Though Office 2004 will run on an Intel Mac, it only does so in emulation. Therefore there is going to be a speed hit if you run it on an Intel Mac. This was not a concern for me though since I use a PowerPC Mac. With a new release of Mac Office due in 2008, I recommend holding off on purchasing the 2004 version

4 Star Review 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.

4 Star Review 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.

4 Star Review 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

5 Star Review 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.
