Re: [WAMUG} MS Office for Mac

No problem Stephen. This problem for me was triggered by my wife's need for Excel and her MBP failing and in upgrading from that phase I went to a barely used 2016 MBP - which I knew would necessitate some sort of MS Office solution for her (as Big Sur is incompatible with the MS Office 2008 (!!!)

Re: [WAMUG} MS Office for Mac

Gosh Peter ! You make me wonder about upgrading my MS Office in the future. I used to use Pages and Numbers years ago, but moved to Office because of the incompatibilities. But from what you say it sounds like things have changed from that point of view. Thank you for your input. > On 30 Mar

Re: [WAMUG} MS Office for Mac

Hi Marcus and All, Out of principles I have been using Apple’s equivalents and also LibreOffice, the latter specially for my spreadsheets, ever since I became aware of the MS' cut-down version of Excel for Mac. It looks like Bill Gates’ method of running down Apple is still being used by MS!

Re: [WAMUG} MS Office for Mac

Yes, indeed Jewels. The one off license is now $199, I would be up for 1 now and another soon I suspect, but I eventually decided to go with Office 365 (family - 6 users) but my employer is an MS user and via that as an employee i am eligible for a 30% ongoing annual discount. So deal is done.

That’s a shame. I think I paid around $165 a year ago for a one off license. Jewels > On 29 Mar 2021, at 10:09 am, Peter Crisp wrote: > > Hi folks again, thanks for responses, I’ve followed up with both of those > vendors and they can provide a Single machine once off installation of Office

Re: [WAMUG} MS Office for Mac

HI Marcus, yes you’re right, Apple does do equivalent applications but both my wife and I are back and forth sharing documents (Word) and spreadsheets (Excel) in both directions for various work related things (which are Windows based environments) for convenience to ourselves. Maybe they do

Hi Pete I purchased my one off MS Office license from itech. At the time, they were the cheapest around. https://www.i-tech.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=microsoft+office+365 Cheers Jewels > On 28 Mar 2021, at 8:25
