Will macbook air open my old ms Word docs from Windows and vice versa?

Yes you will be able to view them, but will need a word processing such as MS Word or Apple Pages to edit the documents.

I believe it depends on the version of MS Word that you have. My MS Word on my Macbook Air has Word 2011 and I've been able to open and save documents from a PC that has Word 2003. Where it gets tricky is when you are trying to open a document saved in a version that is more recent that what you have. This is more of an issue of MS Word software and not the computer itself.

You can read your docs in SSD and create new docs also in offline too.It will work as the other computer.

No. You have to purchase Microsoft Office for Apple in order to use Excel and Word.

No. But if you have windows installed on your MAC, you can run it from there. On my Airbook, I have windows separately installed as an operating system, so I am able to log in and use this program from there.

No unfortunately not. It has a wordpad kind of like the ms word starter on windows 7 but it has way less features and is annoying to use. If you want to save money download apache OpenOffice for free. You can save your documents as word files or any type of file really. It has all the features of ms office too. (PowerPoint, excel, etc.)

Microsoft has stated that there is no plan to release MS Office 2013 for Mac, only an update that would enable Microsoft's cloud storage option. Your free upgrade would presumably apply to the next Mac version, when it ultimately is delivered.

Yes if you install Parallels or VM Ware Fusion. You have to then install Windows in either of those apps. Then you can install OneNote and run it on a Mac.

Thanks, you've been very helpful. I will take a chance and give it as a gift to the Mac user with your notes.

Yes. There are the basic microsoft office programs like all those you mentioned above. Keep in mind the other programs like access that are a part of the MS Office family for windows are not available for mac. For those situations you may run a virtual machine on your mac. Other programs in case you're interested like SPSS are also not available for mac but as mentioned previosly you may run them through a virtual machine.

I tried to load a word document and it would not do that. You might check with Sharkk they may know or go to asn apple store they sell usb and sd chip adapters and should be able to answer your questions Good Luck

Not sure. The MSOffice programs that I ran on this machine were opened by an Apache OpenOffice suite that can you download online for free. I never bought MSOffice for Mac. But it does not look like you can simply and barely take an MSOffice for Windows and make it run on this machine. If I understood correctly your inquiry. There is an adaptation program for that.

Sorry I'm using a Mac and hope to use with WIn 7 but have not setup Win 7 yet.

You can buy (or rent from Microsoft) versions of Office for MAC. There's also the Pages Suite from Apple in the app store which while short of Office's features, gives you similar functionality

I'm a Mac user not Windows. However, I believe it does not matter what system you are running as long as it's formatted correctly.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

The one for the Mac, no - it's formatted for Mac only. If you get the Windows version, then it should work for both.

Yes you have to reformat, it comes formatted for Windows, but it works on the Mac fine.
