HI Christopher, I too am in the same boat as you. I recently am a proud owner of a Mac Air, but I do truely miss MS office 2010 on the Air. Since my PC is still functioning, I use it for all of the apps and tasks that are not accessible on the Mac. I'm toying with installing a virtual machine on the backside of it,, so I have everything on one machine. Currently, I am trying to master iText Express. It's a free app, but I'm not sure it will be powerful enough for your needs. You may want to check it out.
