#OFFICE FOR MAC INSTALL BULLSHIT FREE#
Sparrow’s well worth a look for email (there’s a Lite free version of that). iA also has an apparently rocking iPad version too, which can talk to the big brother via iCloud if you’re that way inclined. Otherwise, essentials-wise, I’m a fan of full-screen distraction free text editors OmmWriter’s free version is pretty neat, but iA Writer (not free) is my go-to of choice, in no small part because it reads (and displays, to an extent) Markdown syntax and you can then spit out as formatted RTF. It’s production software, not editing software. rtf in your wordprocessormotron of choice. doc isn’t all that friendly a format – but you can export to. doc very well – a warning comes up when you try saying that. Scrivener exports to rather than imports from most formats (though it can copy/paste/include as research just about anything, it still just turns it all into RTF first). LibreOffice has gotten better at it (and it’s free, natch), but Pages does it better than anything I’ve ever used, Word included. I believe LibreOffice (what used to be OpenOffice before politics happened) can handle change tracking, but I get Office under my day job’s licensing scheme so I’ve not had reason to check.Ĭhange-tracking wise, the best option is Pages, hands-down. It does what you’d expect office to do, though in a way that’s almost entirely different from how most everything else expects things to work. Office is available and expensive and it’s, well, office. It really shines when writing organized text like RPG books because you can nest sections and reorder/reframe them as needed.įor change tracking, the latest version of Pages will apparently handle it (haven’t had the chance to try) and that’s cheaper than Word but significantly less intuitive if you’re used to Word. It doesn’t do styles or formatting beyond bold/italic/underline but it’s got a goodly range of export filters and the like. It takes you from a rough outline to a finished manuscript, which it can then spit out in RTF or whatever for Word to mangle.

Scrivener’s a writing tool and the first thing I install on any mac I use. This is not the time or the place to take bullshit sides in a made-up tribal tech war. What’re my best options? I want - nay, need - a word processor that will let me read and utilize Word’s TRACK CHANGES option, so does that mean I’m stuck with the Mac version of Word? Talk to me about Scrivener, too, and how well it talks to Word and… y’know, all that crizzap.Īnd if anybody comes in here making a ding at PCs or Macs, I will punt your perineum through your brain pan. What do I need? What do I need to know? What are essential apps?įurther, I’m going to need to do some word processing on this bad-boy real soon, so I’ll need to know about that, too.

I love the magic trackpad thing - the gestures are really sweet in terms of letting me zip through screens and open the dashboard and whatever. Point is, at present, I am now a brand new bonafide Mac user! And it’s been fairly nice so far. I used to know my way around the guts of a computer but it’s been a handful of years now since I really paid attention to that sort of thing.Īnywho - that’s not the point. I think it’s the video card - but could be anything.

Then, yesterday, my PC pooped the bed and fell down the stairs and ate a gun. I used that Mac Mini as a home theater component.
