MS Office 3.0 CD

Posted by: slomacuser on 2012-02-25 02:57:56 The best Office from MS for Classic Mac on CD ROM (1993) includes: - Word 5.1a - Excel 4.0 - PowerPoint 3.0 HyperCard stacks, manuals, Help, floppy disc images etc. 🙂 for $18

Posted by: LCGuy on 2012-02-26 02:15:21 I love how back then it was called, "The Microsoft Office"...I think the "The" was dropped in version 4, by 97/98 it was definitely just "Microsoft Office".

Posted by: Scott Baret on 2012-02-26 19:53:44 "The" was definitely gone in the version with Word 6. I think you definitely got the best compilation with that version of Office. I think we can all agree Word 5.1 is the best version of the program. I do like Excel 3.0 for its superior performance on 68000-based Macs but I do feel 4.0 is a better program overall. (Ideally, Excel 2.2 would have a few more features, namely with formatting--for speed, it's my favorite on the old compacts). Slomacuser, if you try PowerPoint 3.0 on a compact, let us know how it performs! I have 4.0 and something older (I think 2.0?--it's got the same floppy label style as Word 4). The old version is lacking in features. I could use 4.0 to make a decent looking presentation by today's standards.
