How hard can it be to do a file format translation??? Especially if you know the complete details of your proprietary format...

The software maker said that it plans on March 11 to deliver the first update to Office 2008 for Mac, delivering several key fixes. ABOUT DARNED TIME...!

What this all boils down to... why add this new proprietary file format support to older versions of your software, when you can include it in the newest version (paid upgrade, of course) and make money off of it...

Open Office works pretty good on my MacBook Pro. Who needs MSFT?

I recently worked setting up office ‘08 on OSX an ‘07 on XP.
I can just tell you, good luck.
I had to buy extra software to convert some of the folders,
and I still was not able to convert everything.
But, you have to love Boot camp.
