Kinda depends on what you want.

OS X should include Classic, an emulator that lets you run OS 9 programs.
So you can continue to run Office 2001 in Classic.

If you want Office to be OS X native, then Office 2004 is the current
version. (Office X was the earlier OS X-native version). Obviously, this is
a whole new program that you would need to purchase, though Office 2001
should qualify you for the upgrade discount.

Thanks to Beth and Daiya so far,
I am using a Mac, OSX 10.4.3, Ms Office 2004 updated.

When I insert a header or footer the Ribbon of buttons that appears has a
button marked "Autotext" with a list of auto entries. I would like to have
an autotext that inserted 'Filename', tab to right hand side then enter
'Page XX of YY Pages'. I would also like to be able to share the file,
perhaps by means of a dot file, with my partner so our documents are the
same.

Thanks in advance
Cheers
David

Hi David,

Since you were conversing with Beth and Daiya I'll go out on a limb and
guess that you are talking about using Microsoft Word.

You can easily do all of the things you asked about.

To work with the header and footer use the VIEW menu and choose HEADER
AND FOOTER.

You can click into the header or footer and then use the INSERT menu and
choose FIELD. In the Insert Field dialog box there is a Filename
command, which will place the filename into the header or footer.

When you have the header or footer visible a toolbar appears. On the
toolbar are the buttons to insert the Page # and Number of Pages in the
document. You can type into the header or footer and use the buttons on
the toolbar to insert the information you desire at the correct point.

-Jim

Hi David,

After doing what Jim said, select the text and go to Insert | AutoText | New
to save it. But I'll respond in more detail on the concurrent thread on the
Word newsgroup, so look there instead.
