Hey Neal,

I used Office for Mac (2004, then 2008) for years and years. Now that I’ve opened up my own law firm, I switched to using Pages full time. In my opinion, it runs much more smoothly – fewer crashes; loads more quickly, etc.

Great post, thanks!

Have you considered going to Office for Macs? Is Pages that much better?

Hi, I tried all of your directions and my docs in end up in my drop folder and then to my desktop, but when I save them they still have the pages connotation at the end. Any idea what I may have done incorrect?

Thanks

Congrats on the new job. I worked in a Windoze environment for a short while (the lone Mac in the firm). Maybe, over time, you can convince them to switch. I know after a few colleagues did the Vista upgrade, they were happy to switch to an Apple.

Thanks for making the script available. I am going to try a variation on it. I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers. AAP

Great idea Adam. You also should plunk down your $80 for iWork 09 which allows you to “save as” word in the save dialogue.

Cheers,
