I've heard from a friend down here that OpenOffice.org from Mac is better than Office for Mac. May want to give that a shot. Also there are free Office alternatives.

I guess my biggest concern about the switch is whether it will end up adding more inconvenience than I will gain in productivity with trying to coordinate with the system at Wash U (We are all on office... co-authors tend to use the same). However, if there is a better option, I also don't just want to be constrained by the system around me! pb Thanks Alan
