| Word Processors for Mac! Hey everyone, Ok so I tried out Word for Mac and it was great, the 30 day trial period! now I can either buy the student edition which I will need for school or I was thinking of going free ware like NeoOffice or some other really great and popular word processor for mac. I was wondering are they good substitutes for like school papers and all, and have all the basic features that a student might need? When I mean features, I don't mean basic types like bold, italics! i mean like Auto correct, and all!  |

| If you buy Office:mac 2004 now, you're eligible for a free (you pay shipping and package) upgrade to Office 2008. Students version as well AFAIK. I think it's a good deal.

| One more vote for NeoOffice/OpenOffice. However, for the time being I would recommend NeoOffice over OpenOffice mainly because NeoOffice "feels" more like a Mac application (give the current version of OpenOffice for the Mac a try and you'll see what I mean  ).There is a native version of OpenOffice coming in the future, but for now NeoOffice will do it for you.

| Apple's Pages will work as well. It costs $79, however ($71 education pricing)

| Hey everyone, I am currently using NeoOfice, and it seems to be doing a great job! But I have a question, this is probably the same with excel, but when I copy and paste a table of data from excel into Word: How exactly can i make it look like a table, and not like just numbers floating around? This is what it looks like, and I want to make it look like a table is it possible or I have to make a table in neooffice and edit manually! Last edited by BioCore; October 4th, 2007 at 12:11 AM. |

| You have to add the border lines around the sections you want. The same would be for Excel. In NeoOffice, it should show up next to the colorful sphere on the bottom toolbar. If you click on the down arrow to the far right of the bottom toolbar and go to "Visible Buttons", you'll see the "Border" button option. Select that and you'll now see it on the toolbar. Then highlight the sections you want bordered and click on that Border button for options on how you want to add the borders.
