Hi Larry, Thanks for all this. I'm not a huge Outlook fan, so would probably just install Word. I'll keep in mind what you said about turning off cursor tracking - that's a good thing to know up front. Again, thanks. Donna > On Apr 9, 2017, at 9:45 AM, Larry Thacker Jr. > wrote: > > I use

I have never used word on the Mac, I really have no need since text edit does what I want it too. As it comes to outlook and apple mail? I have to give the thumbs up to apple mail, it organizes by thread, gives you a unified in box, and I love the jump to favorites feature on the Mac, wish th

Oh and yes the office installer will allow you to install only the programs you want. I don’t know if they sell the programs themselves separately anymore and suspect that may not be the most economical solution if available. Could be wrong on that though. > On Apr 9, 2017, at 8:39 AM, Donna

I use Word on the Mac just because I’m more familiar with it, having used it on Windows for nearly 20 years. You have to make some adjustments for apple keystrokes, but it is usable. Item chooser is a good way to get to the ribbon controls. Some of them you work with by VO-shift-M and other’s

Hi John, Thank you. This is really helpful and good to know. I'm hoping I can just install Word, and not have to deal with the whole office suite, but I am not sure about that yet. Just curious, is there anyone on list who has experience with both using Word for the Mac, and running Word in W

Donna, I have certainly used Word 2016 on the Macintosh with no major issues. I have not tried anything complex however. Office 2016 has both Macintosh style menus and also a ribbon, I believe there are more options embedded in the ribbon, though the ribbon is not as keyboard interactive as it

Hi all, On a related note, can anyone give me the current status of Office, specifically Word, on the Mac? I'm looking at some contract work that would require me to use Word, so trying to figure out whether to do it on a PC, or whether I could just use my Mac. Cheers, Donna > On Apr 8, 2017,
