lol you are kidding me right? You want me to buy Office, not use the main component of it and then buy iWork to make up for MS deficiencies? The hilarious thing is my workflow is actually similar to that. If what I am doing can be copy and pasted then I usually write it in TextEdit or Scrivener (can't remember either app crashing for a long time) and then bring it across. But that of course doesn't work when dealing within collaborative workflow which makes up for the bulk of my work.
Are you some kind of Objectivist or something? Obviously I have outraged your world view.
You're not buying Office, though, you're stealing it. And Office Online isn't something you buy.
