I have no insight for running MS office on a Mac, but I do have an alternative. go to neooffice.org, it's open-office (like on Linux), it's free, does most everything as MS Office, and supports virtually all document types. Besides, why sully a Mac with Microsoft applications. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
