Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office
Hello David, To add to Aser's explanation, you cannot choose MS Document formats to be the default saving format type in iWorks, although you can export to these file types, Pages and Numbers save in their own formats. Yuma asked about batch converting from Pages to Word documents a year ago, and I posted an AppleScript solution that can do this. You can find the description in the Mail Archive post: • Re: word documents on macs? http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg43720.html That post links to the AppleScripts on a MobileMe web page, so if you think you might use them I would download these before MobileMe web pages disappear in June, or before the owner decides to migrate to iCloud. (The links still work.) HTH. Cheers, Esther On Mar 6, 2012, at 6:26 AM, Aser Tolentino wrote: IWork apps will open new office files but they export the pre-2007 format.

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office
I personally have found Open Office completely unusable under Lion. I understand that there used to be some accessibility under Snow Leopard but under Lion I cannot get any typing echo at all. If it is wordProcessing you are after I would stick to Text Edit perhaps supplemented by the Free Bean Word Processor. I have bought Nisus Writer Pro and Pages but I must confess that I do not use them much, especially Pages which is a whole learning curve I have to get into. Unfortunately I do not currently have the time. If you are after a spreadsheet i understand Tables is a more intuitive spreadsheet than Numbers. I have not really investigated this yet as I am still using Excel under Fusion. I have heard Bento is an accessible database. David Griffith. 5 Mar 2012, at 15:36, Deamon David wrote: Hi folks.

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office
Hi David. I am running my business just fine with Pages and Numbers. True, I ended up telling one of my customers that due to a computer thing she didn't want to hear more about, I couldn't do tables. I had this option available to me which some people don't. I am learning, thanks to Anne, some new things with Numbers which i wish I had been smarter about before. I just did the test to find out the location in a cell in Numbers, and it works great. I have no need for the fancy things like footnotes, so I can do ok with TextEdit most The time. As far as I can see, Pages works fine with Word files, as g as you don't need tables. I will say that I had a little problem setting up a template in Pages for envelopes, and this may be that I don't know what I'm doing. However, my sighted husband put in a filler so I could find the place to put in the address. Regards, Gigi On Mar 5, 2012, at 9:36 AM, Deamon David wrote: Hi folks.

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office
For those of you who use Open, How do you get VO to tell you what you are typing. It does it for all of my other apps but not this one. I hope there's a way since I like the setup Open has. Is Libre more accessible?
