I read the Word page. It doesn't address my question.
This Mac (MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.11) has Word for Mac for 2003
which I installed from discs purchased when I was using a desktop G3.
Since I will be installing OS Leopard, at the insistence of Firefox and Google,
I have to deal with Word. The only difficulties I ever have with using my
computer is what Word will and won't do and when.
So I'm groping the net to learn what to do.
It appears I can download a more current Word, free. Is that true?
Or will I run into a payment page halfway through ?
The community Word page has a few complaints about some version of Word
on Lion. So the questions are:
Is the internet still as Word dependent as I think it is, or are Google docs or
some Mac programs (that come with the system) as Portable between platforms ?
What is recent Community experience with Word for Mac ?
To repeat: Is it free ? Does it work ? Is there anything that works as well or better ?
