[UPDATED] Word for Mac 2008: Nothing But Grief
April 16th, 2008 by FuzzTagged as: microsoft word for mac 2008, UGH.
Ph*cking Microsoft. I installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 and it is giving me nothing but problems. At first, when I went to save, the dang thing gave me the spinning ball of death. I figured out that it had something to do with the “save a preview” option. So, I unticked the check box for the preview and it was fine.
Then, I tried to “add a cover page” to my report. Same h*cking spinning ball of death that I got before. Mother effer.
Screw you Bill Gates. Thank God that I save my work like people in Milwaukee vote.

UPDATE: I dumped my plist file and repaired permissions and now it works like a charm. Booyah. Take that Bill Gates. You got served.

You should just use Google Docs and save yourself the hassle.

I prefer Word. It’s universal. And, when it works right - it’s good.

Define universal…
Honestly I like word but lately I have found Openoffice to be just as good. But I do like google docs due to the way I can collaborate with some of the groups I belong to. We just released a 300 page white paper by writing our sections in google docs with 22 other people. Thats powerfull, I have done some of that work with word and it was a PITA!
Okay I’m done, yer on a mac can’t you just use iWhatever?
