Features of MS Office for Mac-Require Publisher

[p0tAt0eHeAd]

Hi,

I'm really interested in getting a mac (who isn't? ) and one thing I NEED is MS office (or the ability to open and edit office files). What I'm wondering is, seeing as I use publisher a heck of a lot for school work, and it isn't listed in Office for Mac, does Word/another office programme have the capabilities of Publisher? If so, I'll just buy the H&S edition, if not, what programmes do? I know about iWork, but opinions vary so I'm a bit confused as to weather it's any good. Lastly I could just use bootcamp or VMware Fusion to run my windows edition of Office '07, but I'd prefer the simplicity of native Mac applications.

Any help is much appreciated, and if I'm being completely idiotic at all or if this sort of thing has been posted a million times before I apologise, I'm new

Thanks again
