Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I am concerned that the
files generated using the new Office 2007 for PCs will not be compatible
with previous versions of Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and especially

One of the biggest problems arabic mac users have is the lack for

Something really strange is going on w/ my Entourage.  I run version
11.0.0 on my Mac.  But lately, occasionally I pull it up and it looks
like an older version; i.e., the emails aren't delineated by day
