Looks nice enough, but missing some advanced features and unreliable
Interface is pleasant and easy enough to get to grips with for anyone still using Word 2003 and above. The new ribbon feature work s well from an ergonomic point of view. There appear to be a number of advanced functions missing from this version of Word but given it's price there had to be some differences from the full version. However, the product as a whole fails due to poor reliability. Almost everyone considering this 'Home' suite will be doing so primarily for Word. I've had my iMac now for about six years - this is the only software on my system that crashes regularly - almost every time I use it, in fact. Several critical updates from Microsoft later, the problem remains. I would say that if you're on a Mac, it's still worth taking the time to get the hang of Pages for this reason alone. …

Does exactly what I'm used to on a PC
I needed a productivity suite for my new mac and since I've been using office 2010 on a pc, I decided to go for office for mac, an d it was a great choice. Looks and feels very similar, integrates with my mac very well. All my documents transfer without issues, so I can use it for work confidently. And I didn't even know there was office for mac. …

VERY PLEASED WITH THIS SUITE
I've been using Office for many years on a PC and eventually decided to get it for my Mac back in 2010. I tried really hard to ge t on with Pages but it lacked the intuitive feel of Word, and sadly, whilst I liked Keynote, I found it not so compatible with PowerPoint which everyone else I wanted to share files with, used.
I am sold on the Office Suite although I do use Calendar to sync with my iPhone as I've not found a very reliable and suitable way of syncing with Outlook.
I use Word and PowerPoint all the time and do not regret in the slightest paying for the Office Suite. I have certainly had NO reliability issues as reported by others; indeed, I have NEVER had a problem with any part of the suite freezing or suddenly closing down... I use Word almost every day too! …- Written by David H from Northwich

Brilliant
Knocking Microsoft can be an enjoyable pastime, especially on a competitor's site, but credit where credit is due. This is excelle nt software.
When I bought my first Mac about 5 years ago, I felt as though I'd left the dark ages behind and stepped into a bright new future. For the most part, I found Mac software to be more intuitive, more fun to use, than anything the PC world offered. However, as someone who spends a lot of time writing, I could never get on with Pages. There was just something I didn't like about it - the paper aligned to the left of the screen, the way new pages would suddenly be added without wanting them to be, the delete button removing more content than I intended etc etc. I found it annoying.
I've used the excellent Scrivener software for most of my writing since moving to Mac, but I also need software that is compatible with the PCs where I work. So, I finally took the plunge and and bought Office 2011 Home Edition for Mac. And I'm glad I did. As someone who has used PC Office for years, the Mac version is obviously different, but at the same time is also instantly familiar. I know what this software can do and I'm very comfortable with it. I also love those little Mac touches, such as the full screen view and the textures that give the feeling that your writing on a vertical wooden desk.
I think this will now become my main writing tool. A great purchase. …- Written by David S from Wellingborough

Word
If you want stability go for PAGES instead. Microsoft word is unreliable and making strange things like shutting down when you are in the middle of a work flow.
I am working with several people and we all say: WORD IS STRANGE and the workflow is : WYSINWYG. What you see is not what you get. This is such a weird program.
Powerpoint and Excel works fine but avoid Word.
Best Regards
