Have you "played" with the iLife suite? If not give it a try. The mac side plays nice with those that have/use office. Use what you feel most comfortable with. I use Keynote for presentations,Excel for spreadsheets(but lately Iv'e been using Numbers) & Pages for word processing. On my Macbook first gen I deleted most of the Office suite on installation,leaving on PPT & Excel. I deleted Outlook,Word,OneNote,Publisher & Access.
You would find open office or Libre Office much mor familiar. It will allow you to save in Microsoft compatible formats. And they are both free.
I haven't played with the Mac software yet bc I don't want to load it if I don't "need" to. I have to use Office bc of my business documents. So general consensus? No need to load?
