Im thrilled that aapl has finally added a spreadsheet. I hope to eventually leave "office" as its not what it once was.

Im working with the trial, and I know its only been a day but it does not seem to recognize some of my fonts, in particual one I bought from adobe: Benguiat.

is there a way to add fonts to it? it might be an apple thing but office see that font some how.

cheers lets hope for the best!

IIRC, all apps look to a system-wide database for fonts. Have you added Benguiat to Font Book?

Surely you will leave 'office' because it is exactly what it once was?

the benguiat fonts are in: User>Library>Fonts
I added them there a long time ago and can be access from Office.

It seems to me Office is less and less w each new release, it may look better, but does not ever function as well. Excel does not now remember where i want the spreadsheets and pLaces them Under the programs menu bar!

stuff like that. years years ago when it competed w Lotus it really was a joy to use.

Now I have to figure out when I paste a row of items in Numbers, it places then in a Column!
stuff like that.

would love to get the fonts sorted out its the compete Adobe benquiat set!

cheers and thanks!
