  • This problem occurs in MS Word 2004 as well. As far as I have gathered, Word quits after saving too many times with long documents. It was supposed to be fixed, though. There is some sort of unofficial fix for Word 2001/v.X here , but I haven't trie…
  • This thread is Pure speculation...but anyways: If Apple has chosen to do a headless imac 3 it would be a marketing scoop if they could present a new Appleworks 7 (Perhaps not an integrated package like now, but instead a kind of "iWork" consisti…
  • What about trying Neooffice/J. I believe it (being an OpenOffice derivate) is able to open Wordperfect files. It can be found here..
  • I used to work in Netobjects Fusion, but it was discontinued years ago on the mac. The alternative closest to Fusion that offers transparent nonhtml coding must be Freeway. If you were to take the step and learn some decent html, I would recommen…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MacsRGood4U It's coming sooner rather then later. WSJ speculates such an introduction (need registration to read article - which I don't have). Maybe its Apples fantastic new, Quicktime API based cross platform wo…
  • Quote: Originally posted by O-Mac Have people stopped debating which is the better OS? [/B] Eh..Is't that rather unsurprising in a mac-only forum? I think most users here would say that OS X is the best.
  • I grew up with Amiga computers. Then a 'friend' of mine got me convinced to buy a Performa 6200 - yuck, that was a lousy deal !! But somehow I am stuck with Macs now, happily working on an iBook G4 today. I guess my main reason for using a Mac t…
  • It really is a crippled version. Here in Denmark our national TV, a socalled 'public service' content-provider (http://www.dr.dk) recently chose to use the wimp9 format for its online news broadcasting. its a smart tech that sense what connection…
  • I vote for letting him take the exam and be punished in a socially degrading way ;-) On the funny side On our campus we just got enti-plagiarism software available. At UCSD I saw a guy present a study of the software. In the end, when he tested h…
  • Wow, thanks, I hadn't expected a response that fast. Take all the time you need! I can't remember the newest Apple Ui guidelines that closely, but I would guess default would be brushed metal, like iTunes, because its for 'navigation, editing of …
  • I think its riddiculous to complain about embedded "unregistered" watermarks.. it gives you a clear incentive to pay (the very low price) for the program. You know, it cost money to develop software of this kind, especially as fast as Mellel does it?
  • Apple might consider striking a deal with Adobe to make a leaner and more versatile pdf format. - pdf's are already used on almost as many computers as .doc. - Apple already use pdf integrated in its operating system.
  • MS is working on 'improving' the .doc format, they are supposedly incorporating xml into it, to provide so called "interoperability" with other apps. But it is of course done the MS way, keeping parts of the code obscured from privy eyes, non-'open'…
  • Amorph: "Given that tablets, currently, are not gaining any traction at all; and given that by your own account you're the only person using the tablet as a tablet, what makes you think Apple would sell zillions of them?"" Well, of course they wi…
  • From your list: The track changes editing feature - is THE reason to keep using Word if you are on a multi-editor project. Otherwise, its one of the things that make Word files HUGE. Intuitive table manipulation - shouldn't be that hard to …
  • I can't believe how religion can make people disregard evolution theory that much. Just because a scientific theory isn't perfect, doesn't mean it has to be dismissed altogether in favour of interpretations of a religious book, written +1000 yea…
  • I think both Mariner Write, Nisus Express and MS Word gets beaten by Mellel´s superb ability to handle large documents with lots of styling, footnotes and text smoothing.
  • Hmmm, is this a speculation amalgam or just THE rumor. From another thread, started by 'Ellens toy boy': Quote: I'm not really a rumor monger, but this one was too amazing to keep to myself. First of all, I'm a software coder for a small compa…
