My impression is that Office 2004 is slowly unravelling and Microsoft have lost what little interest they had in supporting the Mac version now that upgrade revenues loom. But do they? I am so fed up that I am thinking of replacing it with iWork now that its wordprocessor has joined the ranks of the respectable. Like the look of the spreadsheet too, though no subsitute for Excel if high end functions are required - but I don't need them.
One small example irritation: in Office 2004 Entourage's Tasks window has a default size that occupies most of my screen real estate. There is supposedly a way to reduce it but it is not indicated in any Microsoft support venue I have accessed, and in three years no one has been able to tell me what it is. Of course there may well be a genius on this list who knows, in which case be grateful to hear it. Meanwhile Leopard's feature-bumped iCal promises even better To Do Listing integrated with other Apple apps. So, another reason to abandon Microsoft, especially as Apple's ability to open DOCX files is apparently superior to Microsoft's flaky Open XML converter still languishing in beta. I don't even want to think about how many Office features will break in the Leopard's paw because Microsoft ignored Apple guidelines. . . .
