Should I upgrade to something newer? MBPro 2.4, 4 RAM
What about 2008 Home Version for $111?
I have iWork 09. Is that enuf to open incoming Word and Excel files? And create
new sometimes?
Not a heavy user. (Office that is).
TIA

I'm still using Office X. I opened a .docx file today with Text Edit, so I see no compelling reason to upgrade, but I mainly use Entourage and occasionally Word.

You can download a patch that will allow Office X to open .docx files. Check the Microsoft Office for Mac homepage.

Maybe upgrade to office 2004, but I'd never go any further than that ...

I finally deleted all traces of MS Orifice from my computer and now use NeoOffice.

Hmmm, just realized Office v.X was NOT 2004, which is what the utility was supposed to be for. I have an academic version of 2004 I'd probably sell you (CHEAP! probably just the cost of shipping if you want it).
