Microsoft Office is an incredibly popular productivity suite, but many home users have a far greater need for a word processor than they do for a spreadsheet program or presentation software. It's for that reason that Microsoft has released this version of Word 98, a special edition for iMac and iBook owners. After the simplest installation procedure imaginable--just drag the folder from the CD-ROM--all of Word 98's convenience is at your fingertips. Layout tools (page borders, font effects, and automatic formatting) and proofing tools (automatic correction of typos, spell and grammar check, and a contextual thesaurus) are matched with wizards that guide you through typical document creation as well as a helpful Office Assistant that you can query in plain English. Far from overwhelming, the result is an extremely flexible word processor that strives to make it as easy as possible for you to make your work look good. Features available only in this edition are the greeting card templates designed by PaperStudio.com and the extended clip art library of 5,000 images that range from highly iconographic black-and-white pieces to dynamic colored art. The clip art library is nicely consistent in quality and styles, making it easy to mix and match items. By culling Word from Office 98, repackaging it with some goodies, and offering it at a reasonable price, Microsoft has made a professional tool that's home user friendly. --Jack Gardiner

 Good...as far as mac software is concerned July 27, 2000

This is one of the best word prosessors for the mac, much less the iMac and iBook. Is had variouse features, such as spelling/grammar check and a hyphenation program, as well as a wizard to make tables. Although, word 2000 is out for the PC(which is much better)....
 Word 98 Special Edition will run on most any Mac July 26, 2000

Suppliers are required to state that Word 98 Special Edition for the iMac and iBook will run only on these machines. This is not true! The Special Edition will run on almost any Mac that has sufficient disk space and memory. I was told this by a Microsoft tecnical assistance person! I then bought it, and it's now running on my Power Mac 7500 under OS 8.6. However, you may find that Microsoft will not give you technical assistance if you tell them that you are not running it on an iMac or iBook. Word 98 is an excellent word processor with many features...and it's easy to use. It is a significant step up from Word 6.1 that I had been using.
