Re: Will Templates/Documents Created In Word X For Mac Function In Word 08

Hi Dave -

FWIW, I'm running Office 2008 on an Intel MacBook Pro which came with
Leopard 10.5.0 - I have *not* updated to 10.5.1/10.5.2 & am not experiencing
anything like the volume of atrocities which others appear to be seeing...
that includes the launch time. I have no intention of updating until I see
the results of a 10.5.3 or maybe even 10.5..5 - I also make no attempt to
use Spaces with Office:-)

Thanks, John

It sounds as though you think I should be okay with my templates and
documents if I upgrade to Word 08 for Mac AND stick with OS 10.4.11, and I
should NOT upgrade to Leopard if I do not want to deal with possible
disaster. (It has yet to make sense to me to upgrade to OS 5 on this old
machine, because many of the very cool features only work with the newer
Intel chips.)

Also, it sounds like a bad idea to buy a new Intel Mac, since it will
automatically have the latest OS 10.5 and there will be problems with Word
08. (I'm assuming OS 10.5 will NOT(?) run my very old Word X for Mac
program.) It is almost depressing to think that buying one of the
incredible new IMacs might be unwise in relation to Word and my business.
I was hoping someone would advise me too rush to the Apple store and make
the purchase, since I'm tired of the 'wind tunnel' sound from the fans,
and also intrigued by all of the new features and speed.

Just as a point of interest, my templates are probably really documents,
since they were never properly created to be real templates, with styles
and all the other great stuff that is still somewhat beyond me. I just use
them as templates by making a copy for each new report, and filling things
in accordingly. The templates contain no macros, and the only automatic
'fill in' field is the address and date info that I type into the footer.
I'm still amazed at what someone (like me) can do with Word even when they
have only the most basic knowledge of it. I'm thinking that the newest
version of Word must have some very cool new features that I could make
use of to automate and speed things up. If you are at all interested (and
of course its okay if you are not), you can take a look at my Word created
report/template/doc. by clicking on 'Sample Report' at my website, which
is www.davekaufmann.com. Its a PDF version with the exact look of the
original.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond,

Dave
