If you have office for Mac, taht's another piece of software that has got nothing to do with the one under Windows. Unfortunately you need the disks for Microsoft Office for windows (and/or Mac, depending on what you need). All you have now is the OS, Office is just another piece of software. Must you use Office with Trados? If not and in case you need to write a document you might as well download NeoOffice, which is Open Source and is a complete office suite. Within it you can save the documents as doc(x) or xls(x) or whatever.
If you must buy Office, try on eBay, that's where I got mine:)

Hi Andrea, I have already used (on my old laptop) openOffice - another free version of Office - but I have always some problems with the cleaning of files.
I have the Office:mac 2008 package installed on the Mac but when I open Word and Workbench, in Word there aren't the Trados keys so I thin k I have to download Microsoft Office 2003...how difficult it is!
Thank you so much

I think you will have to buy it... I mean if Word has to run under Windows to work with Trados... I really don't think the Mac version will be useful:( Sorry :(

| | Why changing to Mac then? | Sep 24, 2010 |
Hello, Nicholas,
Using Windows on a Mac is like running a Lamborghini on a Jeep's engine. Jeep's are fine vehicles but intended for a certain terrain. Mac has no need of a graphic interface to communicate with the user. Therefore, inserting it is killing Mac's best feature. Sorry for those running Windows programs on Mac, they simply don't have a clue of what Mac is all about.
Stick to native .app's and take the most out of your Mac. Remember it is not just a trouble free and powerful machine, it has its reasons to be, one of them, loyalty between customers and manufacturers, no illegal software used on it and no viruses produced by software writers. You pay for the price of working on a Mac. and it is worth while every penny. Good luck,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your comment.
I have started this thread because I did not want to see or hear the combination of words Microsoft Windows or anything related to a PC ever again. I have always had the best machines a PC can be, bought the most expensive Sony Vaios I could get my hands on and every single one of them was, sooner or later, was killed by Microsoft. I absolutely agree with everything you have said and I would not recommend to anyone to run Windows on a Mac.
If you have clients demanding Trados there is an easy solution to that admittedly annoying problem: TM services. I found an Indian publishing company (they actually found me) that produces TMs, clean and uncleaned files in all sorts of formats. I run whatever CAT tool I feel like using on that day, send them the result and 30 minutes (at the most!) later I have a perfect Trados TM and other files, so that it looks like I did the job in Trados, as the client wanted it. This service is very, very cheap. I only pay my 25 Euro when five or so jobs have been carried out. That way my Macs are MS-free zones and I can continue to enjoy real computing.
Yes, Jerry, every Mac is worth every Penny you pay for it. I got myself practically every Mac in the current range (next on the list is the real Pro, the desktop) as well as several iPhones, the iPad, etc. If there had ever been a loyal customer, that's me!
Thanks for your input.
Nick

| | wordfast pro, omegat, omegat+, swordfish | Mar 16 |
nessun problema di stabilità per wordfast pro e gira bene con msoffice 2011 x mac. omegat e omegat+ sono gratuiti quindi da provare. swordfish sembra promettente ma impossibile di provarlo prima di comprare, resta across gratuito con unità virtuale windows su parallels o vmware, trados su parallels,...

| | Trial per swordfish | Mar 16 |
A meno che le cose non siano cambiate ultimamente, Swordfish può essere usato per 30 giorni gratuitamente. Quella che si prova è la versione completa, non una ridotta.
io ho certamente fatto così prima di acquistarlo.
Ecco, dal loro sito: "Swordfish, Stingray and RemoteTM LAN Server installers will let you use these products without restrictions for 30 days. You can use the software after the trial period has expired simply registering a license key purchased in our online store."
