I currently use Office 2004 and, with Rosetta and the Open XML Converter, it does everything I need relative to exchanging Word and Excel files with folks who use Windows. And, these exchanges are important.
With a move to Mavericks, all of the above goes away so I will need to advance in terms of the Office for Mac version. I have read various reviews on Office 2008 and Office 2011 and am unable to decide which is the best move.
1. Does anyone have experience with these products and what would you advise? 2008 or 2011?
2. If 2011 is the answer, am I better off to go through the step of upgrading to 2008 first, and then upgrading to 2011? I don't mind the extra work if it means eliminating a headache.
At this point I have downloaded from CNET a 2008 Upgrade .dmg but it is not installed.
Just curious....for anyone.....I was fully expecting to pay CNET for the download but there was no charge. Would that be because Office for Mac 2008 is no longer supported by Microsoft?
