Hi there Personally, I like TextEdit and pages better than I like in this word. This is because MS Word offers me more options that I want to deal with. When I made the switch, I had choices because I am self-employed, and I could call my customer and tell her that I was Changing and therefore, I was no longer going to use tables. I do make Excel files by converting them from Numbers. I have of voided putting windows on my computer like the plague. It's just prejudice. Also, my husband has a Windows computer which has just 13 on it. So, if I have a burning need to use Windows, I can use his computer, something I do about once a year. The big thing I use it for is editing PDF files such as forms. That is something we need added for the Macintosh. I hope this information helps. Regards, Gigi
