Miscrosoft Word on Mac - it's never works well, with complex documents? If so, optimal CPU, RAM speed, etc. ?

I've been using Microsoft Word for Mac (2011) for a while (on a Macbook Pro, 2010, OSX 10.11.5) and sometimes encounter problems with this gel, especially when doing a wide track changes on a document. I don't know if this has to do with the limitations inherent in Word (I talked to PC users who have exactly the same problem with Word), my computer is not enough of fantasy to run this software at a reasonable speed (speed of the CPU? RAM?), or that my computer's hard drive is toast (recent diagnosis of a 'genius' of Apple). Or maybe all three.

Whatever it is, I need a new computer, and one that will be able to manage the work on complex Word documents (sometimes more than one at a time) using full tracking capabilities - the software changes, without crashing or slowing down to the speed of the turtle. My questions:

1. does MS Word work inherently less well on Mac than on PC, esp. When you make the stuff of fantasy as heavy track changes? (I wouldn't go PC, but as a professional editor, I have to put the right word running as my number one priority)

2 if there is hope for Word on Mac, what are the optimal system specifications? Microsoft said minimum RAM for Word for Mac 2016 is 4 GB. If that's the minimum, should I get more than that? 6, 8, etc. ? Furthermore, what about the speed and type of processor? (Assuming that the computer is used mainly for daily use of work: simultaneous web browsing, e-mail, editing a Word document or both.) No game, video or streaming music)

For example, it would be crazy to expect MS Word for Mac to run smoothly on a Macbook Air with these specs:

Processor: 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.7 GHz) with 3 MB cache shared N3

Memory: 4 GB on-board memory 1600 MHz LPDDR3

Storage: 256 GB of flash PCIe storage

General impressions nor special knowledge, you can share would be much appreciated!

I have Office 2016 for Mac on my MacBook Air - but I do not have something complex. However, I would say that you can post the same question on the Microsoft Office for Mac forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2016?auth=1

  • Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects works well with the merger?

    Hey everybody,

    I'm in the middle of a semester at the University and I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects (Windows version). I was wondering if the merger would work well with these programs? I intend to the latest update of merger next week.

    The mac I use is an iMac in August 2008 (running 10.5.6). 3.06 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800. I also install Windows XP Pro edition and the value of using two processors and 2-3 GB of RAM.

    I will also put it on a new account make sure that practically nothing is running while im current merger.

    I use this for my final college.

    Edit: I forgot to mention. I use CS3. My school has not yet updated in CS4.

    In addition, you think that a 64-bit version of Vista will work best and then 32 bit XP on this partition?

    I love Fusion as much as anyone here and use it a lot. But, in saying that...

    You use this something really important - your final college. You need to perform at its best performance with as few problems as possible because you don't have a lot of time in your semester left (in the grand scheme of things).

    My advice - do not experiment. Work around the merger (as heretical as it may seem on this forum) and first and AfterEffects in a punt in native mode Windows XP OS that is on a BootCamp partition. Video editing will focus on i/o and graphics of your system performance - and nothing works better for this than the native access to the system.

    Running two processors in a virtual merger with computer on a machine with 2 hearts can lead to better performance and is not recommended.

  • Toshiba laptops work well with Linux?

    I'm a big fan of Toshiba, but it's the last time I buy a Toshiba product. Producing none of Toshiba laptops running Linux? Least toshiba engineers could do is to make sure that a live ubuntu cd works on the laptop, to make sure that the fan starts and check maybe even the graphics driver works. If it's the fault of ubuntu then drop a bug in launchpad. As far as I know, none of the new Toshiba laptops have a fan that works properly, don't waste your money.

    > All computers laptop Toshiba work well with Linux?
    In General, they work well with Linux. If you see this section of Linux, you'll see that menu use Linux on various models of Toshiba laptops.

    Officially, Linux is not supported on Toshiba laptops and it may happen that you will have a few small problems with Toshiba specific things like the multimedia keys.

    I use and Filezilla to connect to our FTP site.

    I see on line 42 of style.css

    do-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;

    I see on line 180

    do-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    and I see FontAwesome used in several places.

    I can only conclude that Courier New is the applied font.

  • A Mac Pro 2008 work well with El Capitan?

    I found a xeon 2008 8 - core 2.8 GHz refurbished Mac Pro with 32 GB of ram and el capitan as, sold for 600 euros, my question is, if I buy it and put an SSD of 500 GB in it, how would that work? I could use it with a full hd screen? wouldn't be better than the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro 13 inch retina?

    With the stock graphics card, 2008 would be poor in app related to graphic design as a recent MacBook Pro.  Difference in litter with a Mac Air.

    The 2008 with original graphics card will support 2560 x 1600

    Problem with the 2008 (and 2009), is that which concerns the mac Pro line, only the 2010 and later Sierra will run.

    Also in 2006-2008 Mac Pro memory run hot and frequently fail with age.  The original of the graphics card, ATI 2600 XT also do either with time.

  • Toolbar missing Firefox 22 RoboForm. Worked well with Firefox 21

    Firefox updated to v.22 today and the Roboform toolbar is nowhere to be seen. It is in the complementary and activated, but not visible modules through toolbars or the icon to customize toolbars. Everything was fine with Firefox 21. There seems to be a compatibility problem between Roboform and 22 of Firefox. Version installed is Roboform v. 7.8.9.5. Please work with them and to publish an update. We're stuck without it!

    In the meantime, do you have suggestions on how to get this working? Reinstall RF made no difference.

    I just upgraded to Roboform 7.9.0.0 and toolbar works very well with FF22 and Win7.
