Everything worked fine for me but I'm still not happy with Office 2008 in general. It runs s-l-o-w on my G4 Powerbook and the lack of real features is very disappointing. There are oodles of user requests that MS has simply ignored over the years and then the have the audacity to pat themselves on the backs about how hard they worked and how they listen to their customers. Corporate double-speak.

As one final thorn in my paw they don't allow us to remove the gallery toolbar, essentially making us marketing victims while they 'show off' their overblown new "feature".

Overall the programs and features are great, the company and execution are very poor.

Don't find it surprising. I don't think most developers are putting much effort into optimizing for PPC-based computers now. I have a G4 733 tower at home--don't think I will be upgrading the apps on that much longer!
