What I can't figure is why office 98 worked well in Panther
'Classic', but won't in Tiger 'Classic'. What changed in Tiger
'Classic' to create the problem?
Office 98 does everything I need it to do and I know all of its
quirks and capabilities. Having to upgrade to 2004 just seems to be
an unnecessary expense, and one which I can't particularly afford at
the moment.
I tried Pages for the free 30 day trial period and was quite
disappointed with it. Parts of it are quite good, however In some
aspects it is backwards of the AppleWorks I used some 7 years ago.
In my view it will need an awful lot of improvement to become an
Office competitor.
I have done as suggested and downloaded NeoOffice and will try it.
Ideally though I would like to get Office 98 working properly again.

If your Using Tiger, really you should not be relying on Classic
to run office
realistically Office 2004 should be on your buy list if it is a
suite that you depend/rely on
as neither OS9 or office 98 are supported by there respective
manufacturers any longer i would suggest purchasing a new version
of office
at some stage we have to bite the bullet and upgrade certain parts
of the technology we use in order to take full advantage of the
rest of our technology

You are right , of course ,
but
What I said before still holds true !
For some people, those especially who make the odd letter and do
the odd email,
going to Office 2004 with all it's overriding help and complexities
is just too much .
Professional users learn and REMEMBER the complexities:
infrequent users
have trouble just understanding them .
We need a simple word application that runs in OSX, and I do not find
for example that Neo Office does that function. May be my instal needs
adjustment but it's slow.
Text Edit is a simple document maker . Whether it can handle I have
not yet explored. I have access to a copy of Office.
AppleWorks was another alternative. But they both run in Panther .
Tiger is yet another story.
