Hi :) My personal opinion is that doing exactly as you have done is quite perfect. Letting people know and asking for people's opinions so we can hopefully arrive at some sort of consensus or at least agree a temporary policy.
I think it's better to be correct rather than being consistent with MS (imo). It might be even better if it's possible to define the term in the introduction or around where the table for Mac-users is. If there were a glossary or index or external references section or comparison list that could be referenced from within the body of the chapters then that would be a great way to list the wrong term used in Excel and have the correct term in the same table or list. So, what do other people think would be good? Any other ways we could solve this?
