 Solid and useful product September 24, 2008

There are several little things I don't like about Microsoft's way of doing things with Office for Mac, but those things aside, I find Office 2008 for Mac to be an enormously useful and very solid suite of applications. I had some serious problems with Entourage at first, but running the software updates from Microsoft fixed those. Office 2008 for Mac allows me to work seamlessly with my Windows using coworkers running Office 2003 and it lets me use Exchange Server features more efficiently. It's solid, dependable, and feature rich.
 Office 2008 is not usable September 24, 2008
I've put this up on a very fast mac. I NEED it to work (I've been using Office for lectures for many years). It's full of bugs (like it won't save in the .ppt format), and really slow on big files (and I'm running a dual processor quad core machine with 10Gbytes of main memory). I'm about to uninstall it and re-install Office 2004 which at least works properly.
Word document formatting has many faults September 14, 2008

I wish I had read the reviews above before buying this program. My Thinkpad died with a trojan. I had my backup copy of my novel I had written with Office (ms Word) for Windows. I bought a MacBook and this Office 2008 for Mac. When I opened my 260 page novel with this program, I found that ALL of my formatting had disappeared. As I tried to do something as simple as indent the first line of each paragraph, it wouldn't do it. After searching Help and spending hours of trial and error with no results, I called a writer friend who also has a Mac. He has Office 2004. We spent an hour on the phone going step by step together. When he selected all, the rulers remained in place and he could adjust the indents from there. When I, with Office 2008 for Mac selected all, the rulers disappeared. After many more experiences of this type (what worked in the 2004 version did not work in the 2008 version), I thanked my friend for his time and found a Mac Users' Group. I joined, posted my problem, and the responses I got were:
1. "Get Office 2004", and
2."Read these reviews" followed by the link to this page.
It looks like I wasted my money buying this program and having it FedEx'd to South America.
Right now I am going paragraph by paragraph and using the tab key to indent the first line of each and every paragraph of the 260 page novel.
Sincerely,
Lynette Yetter

Notice that the only positive reviews of this product are from people who are either new to MS Office, new to the Mac, or both.
Microsoft's recent products are so painfully awful (such truly excruciating steps backward in quality) that perhaps both PC users and Mac users should move en masse to some alternaive, such as the open source office suites. After all, if MS cannot produce either a usable operating system (see Vista) or a usable office suite, why are we still giving them any of our business?
Can we please be a nice Mac citizen August 6, 2008

The installer, after finishing the installation, spewed 5 icons on my Dock and restarted it (the Dock process). This is the first Mac installer that I've seen which behaves this way. The first impression definitely makes this product come across as a rogue with little respect for a user's system. Agreed that Apple tends to be a bad Windows citizen, but I then don't remember them having a 300$ product on Windows.
