Is Office 2008 stable yet?

Fowarding messages in office 2008 for Mac

Hello.

When I forward a message in office 2008 for mac, it looses its original formar (i.e; tables, gaphics). In the forwarded message instead of the graphics and/or tables, what shows are links that don't work anyways.

Does anyone know how to work around this.?

Thanks in advance

What format is it in when you get it, and what format does it appear in when you send it. RTF, and Doc should save formats, ect.

Office 2008 as in Microsoft Office 2008?
I sure hope so, I wouldn't sell any software if it was unstable. But then again, Microsoft developed it. I use Office 2008 very rarely, and I stick to iWork '09, but the times I've used it, it's been slow, and bulky, but it's never crashed. And the fact that it never crashed just shows how much I've used it. Microsoft software always crash on me when I use it for some time...

Office 2008 works fine for me, and I haven't experienced any crashes yet. I do work with fairly complex documents.

On the flip side, it is a bit slow, and it has an irritating habit of opening with a blank document, and this "feature" can't be turned off.

I've had numerous crashes of Word 2008 when working on documents with lots of revisions in track changes mode. As a matter of fact it is unworkable to me and I have switched to Word 2007 using VMware Fusion (Unity mode) which is more reliable (yet not 100%).

YMMV of course.

Just to echo - office 08 works well (now) though it is suuuuper slow to start up, even more so than the non-intel native 2004 version

I wouldnt have upgraded at all other than they changed the format to the docx, xlsx, etc. 2004 had a plug in converter but the translation wasnt 100%. I will NOT be buying 2010 or 2012 or whatever lol....

Why would anyone want start an application and NOT be ready to use it?

If you want to open an existing document right away just run that particular document.
