microsoft office 2008 for mac does just that

Um, yes. Given that you own Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.

If PC version need to install Windows first.

If you want to run Office on OS X, buy the Apple/Mac version.

You can install MS Office 2008 designed for mac but it is crap for anything more than the basics. Another option is to install windows in something like vmware fusion or parallels and run office 2003/2007 from there....
Vmware fusion does some amazing things to integrate the windows applications into your osx environment. But of course it does cost money, there is a student discount though.

I agree. I use the real MS Office using Vista from bootcamp. There is a big difference between the reg Office and the Office for Mac IMO. Some compatibility issues as well.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I just bought Office for Mac 2008 for my new macbook. Office says it needs 1.5 GB of available hard disk space. Where exactly am I looking to make sure I have enough space? Is it Memory in the hardware overview?

At the bottom of any finder window it will tell you how much space you have.
