Microsoft Mac Updates
I just visited Mactopia.com and looked at the latest updates from Microsoft. There were several downloads that users of Mac versions of Office should know about.
First one I saw as Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0
Open XML Converter converts Open XML files that were created in Office 2008 for Mac or Office 2007 for Windows so that earlier versions of Office can open them. Open XML Converter can converts Word documents, Excel workbooks, and PowerPoint presentations that are in the Open XML Format so that they can be opened and edited Office 2004 for Mac and Office v. X for Mac. It can convert and open one file, or convert a large number of files.
