Re: Spell Checking in Mac Office 2008

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I was about to say, "yeah, but Office X was a port to OS X"--but Office 2008 is a port to Intel vs. PPC. So, yeah, I'd wait if I were you too. It'll all be public as of the 15th, I think.

Also, the "not quite as good" tech guarantee promotion seems to be set to last longer than the supersuite promotion, by the way, so you might wait and still save money.

I see your point, but even so... Mac Office 1998 also had spellchecking in
Portuguese but nobody ever could make it work with Mac Office X. So I will
keep waiting.

I can't say for sure, but if 2004 has a [good] Portugese dictionary I
sincerely doubt that it will be removed in 2008... and even if it is, the
old dictionary file can probably still be used - especially if you go the
upgrade route rather than a full version replacement.
