Microsoft Word on Apple Mac Laptop?

Question

i'm just wondering whether an apple computer can run microsoft word and powerpoint and all those microsoft office things... if not does it have something that a student can use for work to replace those programs? and also can it play normal computer games? thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

An apple cannot run MS Office suite. The in built office suite can however open any office application including word, excel or powerpoint.

If you are not happy with the inbuilt office offering of Apple, you can download OpenOffice for free from http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/

Yes, most leading game manufacturers today either have a different version for Mac, or the general version works on Mac.

Did this info help?

Answer 2

You didn't notice that a new Mac comes with a 30-day free trial of Microsoft Office?

Answer 3

Microsoft is not compatible with mac programs however if it a program like office 2007 you are looking for you can download open office for free. it is just like office 2007 and has all the features but will work with Mac as well as windows and linux. and no it does not have games.

Answer 4

Microsoft Word is a Macintosh application that was ported to Windows, so of course it runs on Macintosh.

"Microsoft's earliest versions of Word and Excel were released first for the Mac platform in 1984 and were followed by the premiere of Office in 1989. "

I use the perfect, free, M$-Office compatible Neo-Office on my Mac. It's Open Office, but doesn't need x11.

You can play any games written for MAC, or you can install XP using Boot Camp or Parallels.

TIP: Just ignore the "Mac Bashers", they don't know what they're talking about because they're too busy removing malware. And, I bet they never tried an Intel MAC.
