 Word won't Work March 27, 2008

I am having a problem with Word. It won't let me retrieve any documents I saved. It then freezes my entire computer. I have talked with MS but they say it is a Mac problem. They don't know what is wrong either.
 Office Mac 2008 Not Worth Its Cost in Packaging March 27, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Microsoft's Mac unit did Mac users an injustice with Office 2008, bringing the package down to the functionality of Apple's iWork '08. Stripping VBA and the data analysis toolpak out of Excel is inexcusable, but it's even worse. Many of the Upgrades Microsoft made from Office XP to Office 2003, let alone Office 2007 are not included (e.g., right indent in Excel). Word and PowerPoint also seem more like Office XP as well. Sure formatting palettes are nice, but that's just repacking functionality, not improving it.
As bad as the stripped down Office 2008 is, it gets worse. PPT, Word, and Excel crash so often on my new Leopard MacBook Pro, that I use iWork for most of my work and switch to the Windows version of Excel via VMWare Fusion when tasks demand them. I would suggest staying with Mac 2004 until Microsoft does an upgrade to the Office Suite that does more than change its packaging.

this is a great product -- sans microsoft outlook! it works much more seamlessly opening/reading office files than iworks!
 Typical Microsoft March 26, 2008
Typical Microsoft program, slow to open, needed updates immediately, occasional computer freeze but widely accepted software and nice features over Office 2004 for Mac. Really do like Entourage.
Just say "NO" March 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
MS Office 2008 is pure evil. Filled with quirks, problems and bugs, it is not a good replacement for any previous version of Office for the Mac. Just say "NO!". How this bug-filled abomination was ever released is a mystery.
Eventually, Microsoft will get this right, but it's going to take a major update. If I could easily do so, I would revert to Office v.X which ran beautifully and never gave me an issue.
