Active X controls on the mac
01/02/10 Filed in: general troubleshooting
Hey Scotty -- can you give me one last bit of advice? I got a new hard drive on our MacBook (and it was covered -- hurray!) and need to put Word back on it. I can't find my disk for Office 2004 -- only for Office: Mac 2001 (I think). I'm thinking I'll just go ahead and buy Office 2008, though, and upgrade all three Macs. Would that make sense? Looks as if I can get it for about $100?

Probably not a bad idea. Getting 2004 off your computers also is a good move unless their PPC G4’s or G5’s. Can’t remember what all you have. The Office 2008 software runs natively on intel processors so things usually go a little smoother. $100 is not bad. Amazon is usually around $115 or so. There is however, one thing you’ll want to consider. Office 21010 is due out this year and may be interesting enough to upgrade. Overall, I’m not a fan of Office at all as I prefer iWork by Apple. But if you are happy with Office, the 2008 home edition contains 3 licenses and should be fine for that price. Go ahead.
