Default Re: problems with downloads

If livewire is p2p sharing application then its likely that the file is not Office, is corrupted or not for the MAC but for Windows, which is why its best to buy the original MS Office.

If you want a free alternative then this should help, altho its still in testing a may have some bugs

NeoOffice
