Are there any Office Programs on the Mac that track the cursor when
using the Zoom option?  I like the mac very much.  I was already to
get a 24" mac that was being sold off cheaply.  However examining the
Zoom feature and cursor tracking more thouroughly I discovered that
the only program that tracked the cursor when using the Zoom feature
was TextEdit.  Microsoft Word didn't do this (Word isn't accessible on
the mac).  I wasn't sure what the "track the keyboard cursor" option
meant in the Zoom options dialogue box.  I rang up Apple and was told
that it was tracking keyboard commands like using Alt-F to get the
file menu up in Windows it would move the screen to the menu bar.  I
mentioned about the cursor tracking problem.  The Apple Employee
kindly downloaded Open Office to his system and found that Open Office
word processor didn't track the cursor in Zoom!

Is there anyone out there using mac magnification (Zoom) with any
Office program (other than TextEdit) where the cursor tracks?

I tried Google Docs.  The spreadsheet is dreadful.  It is unusable.
The display jumps to the side of the spreadsheet outside the browser
on every cell!

Needless to say I decided not the buy the mac!  I want to use Zoom
option rather than VO.

I was flabergasted when I found this out.  It means that anyone
wanting to use magnification on the mac can't have cursor tracking in
anything more serius that TextEdit!

Your help very much appreciated.
