Processor: Intel

I'm looking for a trial version of Office for a Mac but can't find it anywhere for some reason. I tried Apple's site too. Anyone know where I can get one?

Also looking for a trial version of Publisher for Mac. The Office suite for Mac doesn't seem to include Publisher but I can get it for a PC.

thx!

There is no Publisher for the Mac, and as far as I know, no way to open
Publisher files on the Mac. You would have to install Parallels or
something that let's you install Windows on top of it, and then install
Publisher for Windows. Mac Office consists of Word, Powerpoint, Excel
and Entourage (like Outlook), basically.

There is not yet a trial version of Office for Mac 2008. There should be
one eventually, this general site (not the forums) will be the place to
look for it.

As far as I know there is not now (and never was) any trial version of
Office on the Windows platform.

It's available here:

But it doesn't run on a Mac, of course, unless you have one of the emulators
- not sure about CrossOver.

Office 2007 is Windows only, it isn't compatible with the Mac OS. The most
recent version for Mac is 2008, and as Daiya posted here earlier there is no
trial version of it available as yet.
