Once again I'd like to tap the collective wisdom here on the board.
What is everyone's recommended choice for word processing under OS
X. I would like to rid myself of Microsh*t Word 2004, which
steadfastly refuses to create a printer on my system. All the other
Office components will print, but not this POS Word, the one I need
to print the most.
Our computers came with MS Office preloaded, so most of us use MS
Word. (The university upgrades us about every 4 years.) The version
I now have is MacWord X. I am having problems with its crashing
suddenly and without warning. Until we moved to OS X I had kept
using Word 5.1a, just to avoid the bloatware, but I had to upgrade
with these computers. Printing is one thing I haven't had a problem
with. I hate to say "reinstall," since that isn't' something Mac
users have to do but once in a blue moon, but it might be worthwhile.
I've discovered that you do have to be careful when you use something
else. Some of the computers on campus (and some that students have,
even though they are supposed to use the MS Office Suite for
compatibility) have a word processing program that shows up on my
computer with a blank icon and either can't be opened or crashes me.
A bit awkward since I require that assignments be turned in attached
to email so I can keep an electronic copy.
