Office on the Mac

It's taken me a whole week to pluck up the courage to confess that I've bought and installed Microsoft Office for the Mac 2008.

Sadly there are some things, well one thing, that Word does that Pages doesn't and it's a really useful thing to boot. Obviously Apple still needs to have conversations with report writers and others who use wide tables and graphics interspersed with ordinary text. Word lets you mix landscape and portrait in a single document, Pages sadly does not. C'est la vie.

So there it is. Somewhere there's a smug Windows user thinking I told you so, but the truth is, if it were not for this one thing I'd wouldn't have even considered Office.
