Install Office for Mac or PC Version

[Claret73]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

HI

I work in Pre-Press and receive files from the Office Suite that have been created on a PC Platform. If the Client does not provide PDFs but supplies Word or Publisher files would it be the better solution to Install Office as a PC License rather than Office for Mac due to conflicts with fonts?
Advice appreciated Thankyou
Andrew

Even though Office for Mac doesn't have publisher and all that, if you have a Mac computer and you are using the latest version of Mac OS X, which is Leopard, then you can split the disk and have one side Mac and the other side Windows.

Actually, you need an Intel-based computer to do this (any recent Mac).
Nothing to do with using Leopard, which can run fine on PPC-based computers.
