Do I need Windows to run Microsoft Office on a Macbook?

Answer 1

I dont think so because Microsoft has released Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004
There's time for fun and time to focus. When you’re ready to get down to business, Microsoft® Office 2004 for Mac* provides the intuitive, intelligent tools you need to transform your ideas and opportunities into action. Put Office 2004 to work for you, whether you use your Mac for home, school or business.

* Note: Office 2004 for Mac (and Office v. X for Mac) are both compatible with Mac OS X Tiger

I hope this helps you

Microsoft is sold in 2 different versions. One for Windows and the other for the Mac operating system. They unfortunately don't sell a copy of Microsoft Office that will run on both Mac & Windows. So you will need the Mac version of Microsoft Office to put it on your Macbook.

If buying Office for Mac is too expensive. Here is a link to a free alternative called Open Office. It will do everything that I can think of that you will probably want to do Microsoft Office.

Answer 3

no, Microsoft makes Office for Mac (as well as Windows, just be sure to get Office for Mac.) The files made on one are readable on the other.
Open Office is a free alternative, http://www.openoffice.org/
