Hi.  I only use office at college.  I have windows on a vm on my mac, but the 
fact is, that I can't afford office anyway.  I do what I can with the word 
processors i have and then if there is something that must be done in office I 
do it at college.  However if office did become accessible on the mac I may 
consider purchasing it.


Blessings! Maria Joe and loving guide Karly.
