Thanks Joe, interesting, I don't see Numbers or Pages in my App folder, so I'll download to take a peek, but I'm so used to excel/ word.

NeoOffice, any better than Openoffice? A few interns have used open office.

Dreamweaver, someone (a tad incoherent), on DW forum mentioned idea of still using my old great copy of DW on a virtual machine. Do you think that would be practical?

(what would that be a Mac virtual machine that will run 32 bit apps?)

Still leaning then toward getting that final standalone copy of office 2016
