Pros & Cons - Microsoft Office on Macintosh OS X

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Boys and Girls and Everybody.
I have recently started using a Macintosh computer to replace the dinosaur of an unbelievably unreliable PC that I have been using for the last 10 years. So far I have been very pleased. I have been using OpenOffice for quite a while now as I find it is mostly superior to Microsoft Office in many ways, HOWEVER - OpenOffice lacks the Voice Recognition Software that I have been using more and more in Microsoft Office, plus I cannot use Open Office to format documents using Textboxes.

My understanding is that by installing Wine onto my Macintosh OS X I may be able to install my copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2003 - but will the facilities in Microsoft Office such as Voice Recognition Software work if I install it on a Macintosh using Wine?  (I have a 2GB Intel Macintosh)

My memory tells me that to get the Voice Recognition software in Microsoft Office working on my PC I had to go to Control Panel and fiddle with some commands there before I could use Voice Recognition Software because  although the Voice Recognition Software comes as standard with Microsoft Office 2003 it does not install automatically when you install the software.

Please is there anyone with experience of installing this using Wine that can advise?

Thank you.
