Q: Office for mac compatibility with windows computers
Hi there,
I run a mid 2012 macbook pro (8gb ram, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7). I am going back to school to do a teaching qualification, and am wandering what to do regarding laptops. Pretty much all of the university and placement schools will run windows computers. I am quite fond of my mac and don't to give it up unless using it for this purpose is going to cause me problems.
My question is; if i am going to stick with my mac is the best option to: purchase a copy of MS office for Mac, or am i more likely to avoid compatibility issues by installing windows on my mac and using a windows version of MS office....or should I get a windows computer?
The laptop use is not going to be particularly heavy computationally, but the main use will be Excel, Powerpoint and Word and it would be a bit of a disaster if prepared lessons etc wont work on school / university computers due to compatibility.
Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
