Software Reviews of Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Student and Teacher [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Like the Original, but more user friendly
Summary: 4 Stars
Office 2004 for Mac is basically the same as the PC verison, except its design is more refined and user friendly.
The toolbars are essentially little pop up windows that allow you to perform tasks via expandable tabs. This makes adding objects, formatting text, inserting tables, whatever your task at hand, very simple in an always open menu with all the fixins.
This is usually point in the review where I would advise to wait for the new 2008 release of Office for MAC, but thanks to Apple's adoration of its customers, you can buy this version and upgrade to the new version when it comes out in March of 2008 for a small shipping and handling charge!
You can't go wrong!
Customer Review: Good, with differences
Summary: 4 Stars
I just switched to a Mac and this was my first software purchase. Coming from Windows and Office 2003, I expected the Office 2004 for Mac to be rather similar, but it is not as much so as I thought it would be. The user interface is somewhat more of a "Mac" like, a clear emphasis on usability and, occasionally, flashy interface is evident. I missed few features that Office 2003 for Windows offered, like the send messages using Outlook at a scheduled time (vs. on next send-receive in Entourage), and some of the add-ons that Outlook 2003 had, like the automatic backup feature (I did not find any similar add-on for the Entourage although a manual "export" function exists). Also, a read-receipt is not readily available as a feature although there seems to be a less straightforward way to add it (I gathered that Entourage does not allow a read receipt to be sent when it is on the receiving end).
Overall, after a month of working mainly with Entourage and Word, I do like the interface somewhat better than Office 2003. It took some getting used to but this was not very taxing. I worked less with Power Point and Excel and did not have major complaints.
Customer Review: An essential for a MAC user.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. In my office we all use Windows, but at home, I'm a MAC guy. This lets me work seamlessly on documents from the office. It's been a great product, and I have already pre-paid for the next addition.Customer Review: Mac Office 2004 student version
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as advertised. No features that the average user would miss. Opens Mac & PC files flawlessly on Macbook Pro with OS 10.4. Should also be upgradeable to offfice 2008. Customer Review: Excellent PC Replacement

When I changed to a MAC I wasn't sure if all my files, etc. could be converted to the OS X operating system. However, Office For MAC was just like the PC version. I had no trouble whatsoever changing over my files and continuing my work with no interruptions. I highly recommend this version for people changing over to the MAC.
