 I am impressed. July 19, 2004
97 out of 113 found this review helpful
I am surprised to find myself impressed with a Microsoft product. I vowed I never would be, but I have to admit that the Macintosh Business Unit of Microsoft has truly released a must have product. I bought the upgrade as soon as it came out and so far it has only crashed once (while doing an import into Excel). If you have Office v.X then I doubt it's really worth an upgrade. Unless you see one of the new features as a must have v.X will work well for quite a while. However, if you use another product I must impress upon you how wonderful this suite actually is. The new project center in Entourage is very handy if you have problems with keeping files together and the new notebook view in Word is especially useful if you often take notes in meetings. Presenter Tool's in PowerPoint is also a great feature. Messenger is useless, but you already have iChat so you don't even have to bother with it. I have found that all of the applications feel more "Mac-like" with a more appealing interface. While a completely Apple built suite would win me over, I doubt I would be satisfied with any other companies product. If you are in a business or academic environment, then this product is a must have. So, while I think that all of the rest of Microsoft's products put together are worth about $5, this is simply a must-have product unless you already have v.X.
 Basically a waste of money June 17, 2004

I thought the previous version looks better and even works better. I noticed only very few minor changes that didn't make this one better for me. But may be it's just me...:)
A Must Upgrade May 24, 2004
124 out of 144 found this review helpful
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy bashing Microsoft with the best of them, and I think most "upgrades" from Redmond are a waste of money at this point, but Office 2004 for the Mac is not one of those cases.It is simply a must have upgrade. What I love about the new upgrade: 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 I'll give credit where credit is due. This is a fantastic update, one I am glad I paid for. Only one beef, to be balanced, is MS should work on speeding up the apps in the .1 release.
Work around for EndNote incompatibility... May 21, 2004
19 out of 25 found this review helpful
If you have the previous version of Word (from Office v.X), you can continue to use that version of Word to insert citations from EndNote, while using the rest of the new suite (including Word 2004) for everything else.
It is possible to have Word v.X and Word 2004 installed at the same time. The only stipulation is that you can't have both versions launched & running at the same time.
 Problems with Endnote 7 May 18, 2004
26 out of 46 found this review helpful
I just brought this along with Endnote 7 for MAC which works fine with Office X. Endnote 7 does not work with Word 2004mac however so I now need to buy Office X and try and return 2004. I have talked to Endnote and they can't seem to solve the issue so it won't be resolved until Endnote 8 comes out (whenever that is). I have to write alot of scientific papers so need my endnote library. This is a warning to any students/professors/scientists. Do not buy this...stick with the old office X.
