But for Microsoft Office users, the need to buy Office for Mac again can be a hassle. If you work in the traditional office environment that runs on Excel and Word, you might have to bite the bullet. But if you’ve outgrown that world and still need to edit and send Office documents every now and then there are alternative options.
Some of my files are shaded light grey and when I need one I have to transfer it to my desktop and try to open from there and then I get a popup asking me what I want to use to open the file ( a list of about 10 different ways) or it trys the web to find an app that will do it. Not all my docs are in file folders and there are lots I can't even get at.
I just need to know if I need a file converter and if so is there a free html or pdf one out there???? I have Office 2011 and some of the microsoft files convert and some have issues.
