MS Office replacement

Apple makes the iWork suite ( www.apple.com/iwork )
- Pages is the word processor/layout.
- Numbers is the spreadsheet.
- Keynote is the slideshow.

Also, you already have free, built-in Personal Information applications on your Mac:
- Apple Mail for email.
- iCal for calendaring/reminders.
- Address Book for contacts.

Additionally, there's Neo Office for Mac OS X ( www.neooffice.org ), made ny a third party.

Now, understand, taht while these suties may be able to import/open your former Microsft Office documents, they may get translated for further editing natively in those applications. And any saves you do would best be done in those native formats.

Hello.
If you do not mind spending a few dollars to make your switch, you can use emailchemy to move all of your email from Outlook to Apple Mail. You can find emailchemy here: http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/ . Your Outlook Contacts can be exported as a CSV file and imported into your Mac Address Book. Export instructions are here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA101870639.aspx . Then, open Address Book, go to File and Import. Try this page for exporting your Outlook calendar: https://techarticles.uark.edu/calendar/export_and_import_outlook_calendars/ .

Apple's iWork suite can output files in MS Office formats. The most sophisticated effects, transitions, graphics, etc. may not fully transfer, though.
