Customer Reviews

Great
I would like to say that this software is much better than 2004 and so far i have not found any problems with it. It loads very fast and hasn't crashed once yet.

Works Well. Better than Mac Pages
Have had no problems at all with word 2008, no crashes no speed problems. Tried using Mac Pages but pages has limited functionality, so use word.

I've downgraded to 2004 now.
I'm an English student and I need Word to type up my essays and my dissertation. I upgraded thinking "this one will be more stable and faster". WRONG. So wrong. It was ludicrously slow to load. On average 45-70 seconds to launch on a new MacBook, which is unacceptable. Once running the software has glitches and takes a long time to alter between the new interface ribbon at the top. It crashed on nearly every save. Needing this for my work, which I cannot afford to be losing large parts of I decided, ultimately, to sell my copy online and reinstall my older, supposedly slower 2004 version.

A very dissatisfied student customer.

If you need Office, stick with the 2004 one. It may run slower on an Intel based Mac, but it's far more stable and usable. Trust me, my work load and dissertation tells me so.
