![]() Create and edit documents, collaborate and share with ease when you download Microsoft Word today.Ģ. ![]() When it comes to detailed research or long documents, you’d have to pry Scrivener off my my cold, dead hard drive.1. It also certainly doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped using my “precious” Scrivener. * This doesn’t mean Pages is out of the rotation. So without really thinking about it, I’ve found myself going directly to Microsoft Word increasingly often. I already blogged this once but plan on following up on this in the future. Built in automator scripts and plenty of Applescript support make Word an attractive option for me on a lot of my transactional forms. While Pages can do the same for simple documents, on more complex documents, things break down.*Īnother thing I like about Word is the way it has embraced automation. Microsoft Word on the Mac is rock-solid compatible with that “other operating system.” I can send complicated pleadings and forms and nobody ever knows they were made on my Mac. Most importantly for me however is compatibility. Nevertheless, they did a good job of containing it all. The Microsoft Mac engineers had to retain all of that stuff and still make a pleasant to use Mac application. Microsoft Word is legendary for having every imaginable feature. I met several of the Office developers at Macworld and a lot of those guys really “get it” with the Mac experience. I think the Microsoft Mac:BU has also made some significant strides in making it feel. It loads pretty snappy and doesn’t get in your way when typing. Word 2008 cures a lot of its predecessor’s sins. ![]() So it is a given that I’m dealing with Microsoft Word on the other side of the table just about every time. ![]() I write agreements and contracts all the time and, sadly, I can count the number of Macs on the other end of that process on one hand. I’ve been using Office 2008 for a few months and have found it serves an important role in my day job once again. It has occurred to me recently that this has changed. ![]() I simply found it easier to use other applications. It was also a resource hog since its not inconsiderable code had to be ground through Rosetta. It was slow to load, slow to type, and clunky. Put simply, Office 2004, was a slug on intel Macs. I have not always been kind to Microsoft Word on the Mac. ![]()
