Access and Publisher are Windows products not Mac products. As a user of Windows and the Mac (and a former consultant and developer of databases) I can only wish Access didn't exist for Windows.and I really wish Publisher didn't exist. Access at least is a decent, if aggravating, professional program. Using Publisher merely reveals to the world that you aren't a professional. Interesting tidbit - Access has very close ties the Intel processor and for years Microsoft reps explained that they'd love to port Access to the Mac but it would be prohibitively expensive given that Macs were built on Motorola processors. Now that Macs are built on the same hardware platform as Windows computers they have no valid excuse.

Apple //GS wrote: Why is Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition, our best current version, missing many of the components of Office Ultimate 2007, Window Vista's best version? Why are you asking that in a Pages dedicated forum? As far as I know, Office is not edited by Apple but by µSoft!

Ask your question to µSoft. While I am a 26 year user of Apple software, now and then I or my school aged kids need to be compatible with Access 2007, or Publisher 2007 that their schools use. IWorks components are not fully compatable yet; or there is no equivalent component at all. Greed on Microsofts part? (a) There is no iWorks product so, it's normal that there is no compatibility!

(b) Access and Publisher are not Apple products so Apple is not responsible of the editor's choices. As far as I know, Publisher is only compatible with Publisher. (c) iWork compon,ents are not designed (and not publicized) to be fully compatible with Office's components. If you are not satisfied with iWork features, don't buy it.

Yes I know that the Office programs are M$ offerings. My kids high school and college both are still in the dark ages and use M$ products only. I was just hoping that there was some way to use iWorks to do the work, and 'Save as:' to the Office 2007 format. While some of the most common parts cross over; ie: Word, the ones that the schools seem to want to use the most don't. Hope of all hopes. I think that Apple's iWork is very nice, not as full featured as AppleWorks, but maybe someday. Hello KOENIG Yvan of France, 'If you are not satisfied with iWork features, don't buy it.

Aiseesoft designs and creates the best video software, PDF tools, and iOS transfer/manager/recovery software for Windows and Mac users to live & work smarter and save time. Aiseesoft dvd copy for mac.

As Access is unavailable for MacOS, switch to Windows, we will not regret you.' This is not a nice thing to say. Do they not teach you manners in France? I have been using Apple Computer products for almost 30 years. Apple makes the best programs 99.999% of the time. IWorks is nice, it just needs to be 'beefed up' some.

I left this statement in hopes that someone might have a way to get iWorks, via a plug-in, or some other Apple program that I do not know about, to work with the parts of Microsoft Office 2007 that I need to be compatible with. Thank you for your insight and kind words. Apple //GS of MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES of AMERICA PS: in the past you have been a rather nice person. I really don't understand your message.

I really don't know any other thing to respond. Given your described needs, iWork is unable to fit them. So it seems logical to use a product fitting them.

Media Office 2008 For Mac Updates

We may regret that there is no such a program running under MacOS X, but it's the truth. So, I'm not happy to write that but I repeat that to fit your needs you will have to switch to Windows. It seems that you where hurted by 'we will not regret you'.

From my point of view it's illogical. Why must I regret that some one which I already helped several times has, at last, find a program fitting its needs? I would be very glad to learn that you are able to do what you want with a given tool even if I will never let it enter my home. Yvan KOENIG (from FRANCE mercredi 8 octobre 2008 17:51:48).
