I was under the impression that in the 90’s MS made it so their Office Suite would run on an Apple.
They did it to avoid the the imminent collapse of Apple computer and to avoid the monopoly that came with that.

No, it was the settlement of a possible multi-billion dollar lawsuit against Microsoft by Apple ... I’ll get the information for you ... be back ... :-)
You've got it backwards. Microsoft Word and Excel were written FOR Apple under contract to them. Office for Mac came before Office for Windows.
