Hello again chaps,

A Mac question this time if that's ok? I'm getting a Macbook AirBiscuit for someone but the only concern is receiving / editing / resending MS Office docs sent by colleagues on Windows. Obviously if you edit a Word doc in Pages then you'll need to save it as a compatible version i.e. don't receive a doc created using Office 95 and then send it back as Office 97 smile That aside how do people get on with the usual issues like tables looking funny, page formatting not quite right etc? Are these concerns a thing of the past? Any real world experience of this sort of document editing/resaving for Word and Excel would be hugely helpful and much appreciated

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for the feedback chaps. I was hoping against hope that iWork would be up to the job but I guess there are just too many variables frown Cheers for saving me some time and money though - v. useful advice as ever smile
